The defendant in this cause moved by Counsel, for likerty t.. pay mu Court the balance claimed by plain tiff's supplementary bill, viz. £938 +s. 11d. without prejudice i and that upon payment of such sum, all the title deeds might be delivered up, when the Loan CmAscsuma, after hearing at some length.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 17. BREACH OP PP.O/41111 0/ MARIIIAGII. •TONE V. SANW.:UN. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action against the defendant, for a breath of promise to mtermarry with the plaintiff. Mr. Tovr:!:c s•.tted the case to the Jury. The _ plaintiff was a youaF, lady, now at•uut 3U years of age, distinguis!hd by mental accomplishments and personal charms, the daughter of the late Admiral Stuns, who had been in the British service, but had Obtained his Majesty's permission to serve under the fag of Portug IL The defendant was a gentleman sow about 40 years of age, and at the time of the transaction in qisestion was Secretary to Lord Strang ford, Envoy to the Portugue►e Court. Pei,4 to th e /ear 1808, tre defend:tit had been introduced to the family of Admiral Stone, tin at Lisbon, aixt after some time he declated himself the processed admirer of Miss Stone, and was received as such by her fa- Cher. In the year 18( 1 8 the Fieneh having invaded Portugal, the Bragansa Court removed to the Bra sil:. whither A.ticuiral Stone and family haa l ue d, as did the defendant in the suite of Lord Strangiord.— The defendant again renewed his addresses to Miss Stone. on the shores of the Rio Janeiro, and was in fact cimsidered by ail parties as the intended spouse 01 the lady. This intimacy in the plaintiff% tanaily continued until the year 1812, when fur tattier died, and then it was d:termined by Mrs. Stone to return with her daughter E. gland ; but prior to her de parture, the tlet.:talc,t, as an assurance ut his faithful SAtaehment to the plaietirf, gave ha the italtowing Pritten promi‘e of marriage : _ _ " I hereby solernati ptenthe to marry Nii-s Anna Stone ; and farther I Galan, that I wit never evoun any wows* while abe 1.3.:.ve. (ini,n“.!) " J. T. War rpm." —After a most tender parting, and an interchange of itekmu tiedges of mutual fidelity, -Miss Stone ktt 8ta241 and arrived in England. During her sepa. Cation from her intended husband, she received a vast number of letters from him, containing the most ex travagant professions ct love, fidelity and attachment, which the most romantic attachment, could dictate, Or the warmest passion suggest. This corres pondtsce was kept up with unabated ardour, until the year 1815, when, without any assignable Cause he ▪ Ogether ceased his Gommunicatiuns. In the spring of 1816 the defendant returned to England, when the plaintiff, naturally solicitious ab. , ut her engage meats-with the defendant, wrte him several letters.' They were replied to with coloness and indifferentie, aad in one letter, dated from Elver, April 22, 1816, the defendant acknowledged the receipt, of two of the plaintiff's, and expressing his surprise th4l she L'ad not sent him a copy of the written promise of mar riage) which he bad given her at the Brazils. and Outlasted by requesting she would not annoy him With esti more letters, which he notified should not biensweted, if sent. In another letter, dated the 9th RAY. t 916, purporting to be written by the defers dant', mother, but in reality written by himself, be rksired, in his mother's natan t that the plaintiff would not 'trouble her son with any more letters, and representing him to be in so ill a state or health at 1 , 6 be unable to answer them s and it she shsiuld wad any more, they would be. returned Unopened 'Mese were the leading circumstances of the case. The blamed Counsel said. he was at a lost to anti cipate what defence could be suggeited to this action. lii. had, indeed, been given to understand, that the defendant meant to give out, through the medium, of his Lie ,rned Counsel, that he was an fact incapa. citated for the niaribige lite, by certain infirmities, which disabled him from the performance of conjugal duties. He hoped, for the defendant's credit with the gentle set, that he would not shield himself under,l such a suggestion. The name of the defendant eer• toinly imported d &rent qualifications, and if he possessed the vigour and strength of his great name. sake. 'such a defence would not avail hem on the present occasion. He understood that the defendant was a man in the prime of life, and to all visible ap pearancd was competent to contract as dell as-con summate the matrimonial engagements. • A great number of the defendant's love letters were then produced, and identified as his hand writing. Some of them were read by the Officer of the Court, and their contents were Curls as to dis compose, not only the gravity of the Bench. but to keep the whole Court on the broad grin for about ball an hour. The List was in these words : " me ihntito, April 44, 'lll Mydearest life, any ucty N3llll y, Nhum 1 adore aw Is, I idol.

I again open my letter to pets a few lines to my love: 000 bless and preserve you my dearest life, my only comfort in this world." The next letter read was dated May 17, 1812: " My s:neerely and dearly beloved life.—Thls is the second time I take up my pen to write to one whom I love most Sincerely, as I do myself; therefore you may judge what are my featly at this moment; you know how to appreciate them, and I corn. menet in conseqeence by telling you I have been to health since my last letter. 7be hreakings out on my body, ate have continued until now s sometimes they appear about my -carved face, sometimes abut my back and other parts; the) have fi e quently kept me from sleep'ng, when my thought* were only of you, Sm.

Dn cot think that I mean by this to give you any new tie to bind you to the only man who ran make you happy. &c. To preserve the only object of my sours happiness in health and virtue is the prayer of Yours till death, 1. T. SILIWON." A third letter dwelt more particularly on the de fendant's bodily infirmities, aid afterwards expressed his fears that " his sonl's 01-,1" had fallen'iuto the hands of a French squadron from Rochefort. A fourth contained the following paragraph: " I hope the time is not tar tli.tant mien our hearts will be united. I have now in my bloom your sweet Lair. I wish I had you in my arms; but that haepuo.s. is yet to come—l hope the time is not far olf—our hearts are already united. Reinent. I ben what I told you before your dear father's happiness—that *then I cease to love my Nanny, may that day be my bat! for then would I close my eyes without Narrow," die. Mr. Seanorrr, the defendant's Counsel interposed, and suggested that the case was such as might be better disposed of before an arbitrator than before the present tribunal. Atter some conversation between the Learned Counsel on both sides, it was agreed to give the plain. tiff a verdict, and refer the damages to an arbitration. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £2,00.4 sub ject tou reference. CABESALL W. THE DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This was an action for work and labour. brought by the plaintiff, a theatrical machinist. to recover a quantum meruit for his trouble in constructing a model for the last scene in an Opera, called the " Usaleeve Geed," brought oat at Drury-line Theatre in 181.5, under the auspicei of Mr. Arnoli, who was at that time Manager. The last scene in question consisted in the representation of a tower, which was to be de stroyed by the combustion of a mine. The defen dant paid a 420 into Court, and the plaintiff's de mand was £5O, which he had reduced from his ori ginal demand of ref 15, in consequence of the then embarrassed state of the Theatre. It appeared that the Opera was performed only eleven nights, and was then withdrawn. The question in the case was as to the value of the plaintiff s labours, and after witnesses- were examined on both sides, the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages se.lo. rt:;:eauv v. JACKSON. This was an action against the defendant, for as sauhing the wife of the plaintiff, a broker in Bethnal green. The defendant had entered the plaintiff's shop in a state of intoxication, and sat down upon- a chair, which the wife requested Jai to leave, Writ , l.is rise becoming excited, he struck her with a Ili& upon the head. The Jury gave the plaintiff 1)4-1 wages ee MINS w. BASER AND OTHERS. This was an action against the defendants, as corn ' i mon cattier,. to recover the value of a trunk, con. taining property to the value of 4151.1.105. which they were employed to cony by water from London to Bristol. The defendants pleaded notice of restricted liability. and the question was, whether thenoticr was sufficient? It appeared that a printed notice had been set op in their office, announcing that they would not he liable for more than .45, in case of loss' or damage, unless the property was insured; and at the time of the booking, a written notice was de livered to the plaintiff, but by accident the terms of the restriction were omitted, and it being doubtful whether the printed notice bad been seen by the Party,l Lord Euesaintotion held the notice insufficient,' and directed a verdict for the plaintiff. MA' R'S COURT, GUILDHALL. THE NEW POST-OFFICE. TUE CORPORATION 01 LoNDoN This was another of those proceedings which have been instituted under the late Act of Parliament, for the erection of a new Post-Office, at St. Martin's•le. Grand; the City claiming certain premises necessary thereto, and the Lessees or Proprietors demanding in lieu fair and ample compensation. The COAIUON SEP./CANT, instating the case to the Jury, took occasion to observe, that although the Mayor and Commonalty of the City of London were the apparent plaintiffs, they were but nominally so ; they were, in fact, the mere instruments selected by the Act of the Legislattire for carrying into effect the purpose contemplated in the erection of the new Post- Office. After some other observations, the Learned Serjeant proceeded to state the following facts, which were sustained by evidence :...The claimant. Ellis. , *as a respectable baker, residing at No. 7, George street, Foster-lane; and his house being deemed ne cessary to be pulled down, the proper notices Were given, and the City Surveyor and others sent to make the valuations After the ,strictest scrutiny into these, tamely the premises, the lease and g oo d.. will of the house, th e fixtures, loss of business, ex. pease of removal, of newly establishing tl:e party, and other incidental cunsiderations, the plaintiff'; made an offer of the sum at IMO% u being, In their opinion, fully adequate to the loss Mr. Ellis would sdstain. The defendant, however, rejected the offer, as not being one half sufficient to recompense him, and hence the Corporation were compelled to bring the matter before a Jury. • For the defendant Mr. HARRISON made a very in. genious and forcible address to the Jury. He con tended, that it was no small consideration that cot*d induce a man to abandon the ho use i n w hich he bad been established, and in which he had successfully carried on business for many years. His client was a respectable man, pursuing an extensive trade, which from the nature of the situation bad been extremely advantageous, until, under the provisions of the " New Post-Office Act, t'se demolition of the ictrtoond- ' ing neighbourhood commenced. That dis:rict wet composed principally of small shops and houses, the latter abounding with tenants, whose custom Nip 0 1 Ellis almost mainly enjoyed. jibe whole of undo too sits not only local. but produce,: read) money in almost every instance. independent of this there was the value of the preMises. the loss of his business and customers, the errense and incOnveni ence.of removal, and above all the possibility of his remaining unprovided with a situation to resume his trade, until perhaps the hide sum be hAd ,raised by industry might be consumethi his WiriFilrdlai - la may's support. A wimber of witnesses wee* then examined, all of whom concurred in the advantageousness of the clai. manes situation, the extent and profits of his trade, and the loss to which hi. removal must subject him.• Mr. Cousiou Sertmairr contended, that no reason able plea had been established by the opposite party to distal b the award made by the-Corporation, in any one particular consideration of the claim. The REcottrinit declined summing up the evidence, and appealed to the experience of the Jury (who he perteived had taken very lull notes of the case), as men of busineis, and as being, he was conscious, equally disposed to protect a fellow-citizen, as they were to be the guardians of the public property. The jury retired for a few minutes. and then re turned a verdict for the claimant of gni.

Tuesday night the dwelling-house of Mr. Kately, of Cherry Gat.len.street, B.rmontisey, sh , eniaktr, was broke into, by the shutters bring wrenched open with a crow-bar. The robbers effveted their purpose by gaining an entrance at the window, and succeeded in carrying • ff fifty-five pairs of shoes.

Ferrer's rents. About half-past three o'clock he heard the cry of fi:e. and the springing of rattles; he got out of bed,-and went into the Rents, lie saw t;', the deceased's house, on fire from trip ao bottem; the flames were issuing from every aper ture ; believes the deceased had been sufrocated at that time.

'Theetratfth engine and several others soon arrived, and obtained a speedy supply of water; they kept playing with the utmost alacrity, but the fire in creased with greater fury ; every thing in the house , could be distinctly seen, but the deceased could not be distinguished ; soon afterwards the roof fell in. but owing to the exertions of the firemen, the flames were prevented from communicating to the adjoining houses. About eight o'clock the ruins were searched,' and the body of the deceased was found upon park of she bed, lying across the rafters, the only part of the floor which had 'not fallen. He knew the de ceased, he, was about 40 years of age, by trade a coach painter ; he was a very eccentric character, he . kept no servants, nor any person whatever in the house but himself, and he performed his sawn cook ing. washing, &c. The house was his own, and 'he usually slept, upon the first floor; he bad but little consmunicatiou with any person.—There was no evi dence to prove how the fire originated: Verdict— Accidental Death. ' An Inquisition was held yesterday, at the George.

When the man drew the cart out of the shed, his face was towards the sari, and his back towards the passengers. It was a most improper place to keep a cart, because. before it could be brought into the horse road, it must Pass over the foot path.—Mr.' Robert Smith, surgeon, Portland-place, said he was - called on Thursday to the deceased ; he found that she had received an in jury on the head ; he bled her.; she complai ne d of I most excruciating p a i n on the brain, and became in sensible inimediattly ; she remained in that state until next day, when she expired.--Mr. Henry Ar nold, stationer, Mortimer -street, said die deceased was well in health on the morning the accident happened; she went not with her grand-child to take a walk ; when she returned she was able to say—A4 I have got my death blow." Several medical gentlemen atten ded her till she died —Several of the Jury expressed their opinion that a heavy deodand ought to be levied, froth the gross negligence of the man who drew the cart.--One of the Jury (a Magistrate) said it was cut the first time that an accident bad taken place on the same spot, by vehicles passing over the foot pavement, and he would take care to . harre the place indicted as a nuisacce---Several of the Jury refused to A th ig e n otlairetir; perheoserieksemaeinotdr . : n be le sisog of a contrary un a deo.dacnodwaary p was o lai d i. to coroner took their vertfie the rtirritY returned t separately, when 4 ...."
