She is the ditighter of poor parents at Gre'mwich, and under twenty years of age; the defendantahe son of an opu lent tanner in London.. The Learned Counsel stated; the case at considerable leagth, contending that the. defendant had employed wealth, as ar. instrument of deiusieh ; that he had told Ister lie had £19,000 in his own right, which woulel enable him to many her; but that since she had fallen a victim to seduction. His family, however, were active iii their efforts to defame her; they accused her of being a common prostitute; on which she said, " If you deuht rue, I' - will give you the most sacred pledge which one human being can eive another. I will attest my truth before BEAVEN—I will solemnly swear that the child is your's before a Magistrate." She di so, not with the desire o: obtaining parochial. assistance, for she would never receive a shilling of the sum which her seducer was compelled to deposit, but.with the hope of coheincing_hira that She had o n ly been criminal for his sake. Mr. Phillips concluded an e:o -quent speech, by asking the Jury what tlarnvi b es would they think sufficient to repay them , if , like the plaintiff, they found the blossom of their hopes, the fair flower they had tended, trampled on by the ac-' I cursed hoof ef ruffian sensuality, and , soiled and blasted for ever? If the seducer possessed a mine, would they deem it reparation ?.- He called 'on them to slew the extent of their love to their own children, by the damages they would give to this desolate father. Jane Shaw, apparently not more than 19 years efl age, deposed to the facts of seduction. She had been at school with the defendant. In January or February, 1814, she kept company with him. He told me he was possessed of £19,000, and he would marry me when became of age. In January he met me by ap 7 pointment, near the Lime kilns in the Greenwich road. He got off his horse, and made rne take hol d ' of his arm—we went towards Lee Grove—he said, so help bias GOD, when once he got the better of me, he'd never leave me—he offered it we in writing, but I said no, I'd trust to his honour—and then the. con nection took place. I was pregnant in March, 1820, 1 , and brought to bed the 19th of November. My fa ther did not know of it till the child was born. Mr. BRQUGHAM cross-examined the witness at con alder able length; and she wasafterwards re-exantinedi by Mr. PH.ILLIPS. . • Mr. BROUGHAM addressed the Jury for the defen dant, and begged them to recollect every word of the speech of his learr.ed friend, and see how far this ex tremely low case compounded with the flowery and decorated narrative of his friend, -who in describing, the plaintiff had left out the Rose and Crown, though, being a flower, the rose might have bloomed hi his periods—(,.4augh)—he left out the Duke of Yor k public:house, and left it to.be proved that his client and his wife kept a gin-shop, where they drew by day and sugred by night, while they left the " sweet blos som of their liopes,". " the day-light of their eyes," "the joy of their 'hearts," to sleep in a house far from them, where there were none but children. Here was . a father, who allowed Isis daughter to go through her pregnancy; and such was his watchful care that his suspiclons were only awakened by the cry of her chile! What was the for ruer character of this " fair victim?" She presented that she wigs so nmocent as not to know what "keeping company" meant—a phrase which even an Earl's dadghter might learn from her maid, and which the flower of Greenwich must have heard a thousand times; and yet she, who was pore even in heart—who did not even know what evil recent —who preserves! an infantile purity in the /ears of womanhood—gave up her priceless virtue on being asked for it—not iu. some sequestered spot sacreeto Nymphs and .Naiads, the creatures of a more ethereal world, which we read of in die Poets and Mr. Phillips's epee4hes, but in the plain highway ! There did they meet--the faithful horse held on one arm of the seducer, and the " tender,flower" hanging with all her tendrils on the other—(l 0741 s oflaughter). Was not this the conduct of one of the most.aban doned of her sea?' Could any one believe that up to this moment she was innocent even in deed?— " Oh I hilt," said Mr. Phillips, " s a te.could prove her truth—she could give the defendant the most solemn pledge one human being' could give another ;' and when they expected some awful abjuration—that she would take the horns of some storied altar, or pro duce a Bible to swear ou—it turned out that this fine and mystic aliusiou meant only that she went and swore the child to the defendant before. a Justice — (Great laughter).—He again asked them to compare the address with the evidence, and he was sure they would either find a verdict for the defendant, or if they thought they must sive the plaintiff something, would tender him the lowest and basest coin—sym bol of worthlessness and - impudence—ks the reward of this most frivolous and brazen-faced action. Mr.Justlce BUT commented on the conduct of the plaintiff's daughter, and told the Jury that it they be lieved she was as ready as the defendant, and had sltewn ati entire want of delicacy and feeling, they should give only the smallest damages. The. Jury, after consulting seine thee, asked what di/stages would carry costs! 11l r. Justice Bur informed them, that any damages would carry costs in this form of action. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Demages 4o s. . MR. uqo:r AND:\i R. IiOWCIXOFT. . • Yesterday, Mf.
