Lais was an attion fora breich.Of proirdie of ittAtriiiiit:' The damages were laid at £.l l OOO, • • • Mr..C.Jaw;toirs detailict the circumstances under which the plitintiftsought to recover. He did so, he said, with some embarrassment, because he had heard it rumoured that he should be fortunate if he re coveted any damages, or had not a verdict against him ; although he was sure that, unless the brief was one mass of falsehood, this rumour was groundless. The plaintiff was a female who sought damages for the breach of a contract the most delicate and solemn, under circumstances strong enough to overcome her natural reluctance to disclose her wrongs and suf ferings. Many years ago the defendant was sent to England from America, where his father then re sided, to be placed at school, and was recommended to•the notice of the family.of the plaintiff, of whom .he was a distant relative, He remained at a school at Bethnal-green for seven years, during which time he constantly spent his holydays at the house of Mr. Hester, and received from him all the courtesies, and more than all, which had been entreated for him by hisfather. When he left school he removed to Liver pool, and left the family in which he had been che rished, with expressions of everlasting gratitude. After an interval of years he came to them again, with scarcely a shirt to his back or a shilling in his pocleat, having landed in a state of miserable desti tution from Ireland.. He was again received as a re lative, lodged and boarded for six months, during Which he sat daily at their table, and received kind nesses which ought never to have been effaced from his memory. During this period he thought fit to ori ginate another claim, which he had also forgotten in the days of prosperous fortune. He succeeded In ensnaring the affections of the plaintiff; and being -very dear to all her relations, he made his proposals openly, and they were openly accepted. After some time, he said that his father was dead (whiCh proved afterwards to be a fabrication), and that, therefore, be must return to America ; but before he went, he asked and received a promise from Miss_ Hester, that she would remain single till his return.: Ile remained abroad for six' or seven years ; but the, impression he had made on the heart -of the plaintiff Was strong, and she patiently .waitOd. for hi: arrival.. Meanwhile his father died, and he became pOssessed. of property to the amount, as would be.preved from his own declarations, of not: less than twenty eight thousand pcninds. He now reminded the plain;' tiff of her promise, which she expressed ler to perform at any time when he chose to claim He resumed his visits ; and arrangements for the wedding were in progress, when he suddenly de clared that he had changed his mind, and Would not marry, as lie intended to lire single for life. This was filse; but had it been true, it would furnish no excuse ; for it was the sacred duty. of a man fully to make up his mind on this point, before he ventured to trifle with the feelings of a woman. He proposed, however, to make 'some amends; he said that he would.give Miss Hester £3OO or £4OO, and would make her parents comfortable for life. This would have been poor amends, yet even this he had not given: and shortly aftdr lie went and martiei the cousin of the woman on whom he had inflicted this irreparable injury. What defence could he make now ? Would he attempt to deny the promises? They would be proved to have been solemnly made, and as solemnly confirmed after the lapse of years; and could be fur ; ther proied by a letter in ais own hand, addreised ' after his marriage to the father of the plaintiff. In this epistle he expressed his hope that Betsey did not take his marriage amiss, and concluded by a strange confusion of ideas—which fortunately did not pro ' ceed from an Irishman- -for he subscribed himself 44 Your affectionate nephew and niece, William Heiatt.'"—(A laugh). Perhaps the Counsel for the de fendant might urge the age of the lady as a topic for : she certainly had grown older since she ftrst received the addresses of the defendant, and was :now 36 or 37 years of age; but he would disarm these sneers by at once consenting that, all romance should be thrown out of the case; that the Jury should leave • out of their consideration the afflicted iseaci, the contempt endured, the hope delayed, the blighted expectations, and_ should calculate only the establishment which the plaintiff had loit. But be fore - they threw ilio*e topics out of the case, let them tacit on the feelings of woman , infinitely more la cerattkhy such, an injury than those of Man ; whit!' no commerce with ',Ole world assuaged—which she etldured in her solitude of sorrows, - shuddering at the very appeal for redr,ese,, with no thoughts - but those remerrthrancei which haunted her llielpectres, and whicklad no world but the ruins of her heart. The Learned Counsel proceeded.to urge the "•eart fidelity" with which' his client had awaited the defendant's re turn; the de k titntion . amidst which she consented to .his addresses; and the adiantages ' so long hoped for, of which. he had deprived her. He asked the Jury to proceed on the maxim of inspired wisdom—" iio unto others as ye would that they thOnld du to you:' As to damages, said Litc. Learne4 Counsel, I have only one word ttit tali to you, and that word is not, mine—lnspires Wisdom has given you the direction. Make thit case the case of your own family. .

Confusion and delay protracted it until pallet threw a light upon the ring. This battle was for 20 ovr ieigns, andit was intended that It should have taken place in g meadow between Nettlebed and Dorchester, Ozon, but on Corninboary General marking out the ground for action, some enemit were found bivouacking there, and helter skelter I ns the order of the move over eight miles of ground to Acton Green towards Wycorub. Jones seconded thetßlack, and Ro bert performed the same office for Fowler, who was only a few lss Witter. The battle was a tedious one at the -commencement front the Ape's of the men, and in the first three rounds . there was nothing. but throwing. They lasted a quarter of an hour. 4. The Mack placed a blow on the body, and was floored in $ cetera or. upon the head, but not heavy. 5. Both got steady, and give and take was the order of the round. The Black got intemperate, and chewed the first crimson hue beta can the ivories. He threw his adversary what Tom Owen calls a cistern-wheeler, and a michievous one. 6,7, and S. The . Black had the best of these rounds, and gave the falls. 9. 'flit beat fighting round in the battle, both receiving counter bit; odthe head at meeting, which spun the claret in let-out form. The combatants broke away front rallies thrice, and on rectled at each other again, until both were at a standstill for wind. The round lasted fourteen minutes, and Fowler was thrown, and hit in going down, or, as others said, when on the ground. Here was as pretty a row in the ring as the London lads could make. It was broken into, and a cessation of warfare took place, whilst a Council took half an hour to deliberate, and they decided *Fair." Fifteen other rounds were fought, when Fowler won it. The Back had no chance after the fourteenth round, when he sprained kis knee, which being the advanced one, spoiled his hitting. Both had enough for any glutton.

PEDESTRIANISM. • • Yesterday morning Harris, a runner of Ku* * Celebrity, un.: &nook to ruts a mile in Ave minutes, in St. latnes's Park, fer a wager of five sovereigns. The ground was .measured, and he made a fair start, but when atoms half gray was stopped by a soldier, wbo sup2used he had ; committed a robbery, mistaking the cheers of his itietuls for." Stop thief:". ,The wager is in ton- sequence off. A match of rather a novel nature was lately {aide . between • two gentlemen in Glasgow, which was declded on Saturday an the Edinburgh and Gliagow roads, near Westcrai2,s. A young woman from the neighbourhood of Qneensferry was to run t 5 miles against atiy Lanarkshireman. A lad turned out, in honour of the county, from Dalserf. ror the first eight miles the lady took the lead, and finished them within the hour, but at this point her opponent, who had hitherto courteously kept in the rear, shot past.• Upon this she made a great effort, and resumed her position in front, but being again passed. the poor seaman fell down in such distress, that the gentleman who backed her, lost all ilea of his bet in the apprehension .he had fbr her life. The lad continued at an unnecessarily quids pace, and completed the 15 miles in seven minutes within the two hours, having run the last mile in five minutes. lie bad previously declared that if be was beat by a woman, he would never again revisit his paternal mansion. • Love anti War.t.—Miss Arne Gerald, a very handsome and very dashingly attired young lad", was brought into Row-street Office on Wednesday evening last, in a fainting fit, and plated in a cbair, while a Mr. Barroclough, a student of Lyon's Inn, -preferred a charge of assault and " annoyance: * as he termed it, against her. Mr. Barroclough slated, that he and the fair defendant had been atremely intimate ; he had, iu fact, been her protector, bet lately be had reason to believe she had sought another cher r" hie, and be therefore thought proper to " cut ** the acquaintaace. Since be had dune so, she was constantly annoying him he was never rife frOm her abuse and importunities. She came to his chambers at all hours ? and created such disturbances, that the inatoel had been taken up by the Rulers of the Inn, and the con sequences might, be very disagreeable to him if she wasted com pelled to ditcontinde her visits. He was walking that evening with a young lady, when the defendant approached and struck the young lady with such violence as to split her bonnet, and Ishe afrwards struck hint a hard blow in the face. Miss Gerald, during this statement, remained in the cftair with her eyes closed, and apparently quite insensible. She once et twice appeared to revive for a moment, but again fell into the tame state, in spite of the remedies that were administered to her. Mr. Miami nu. told Mr. Ras roclough he was at liberty to g'o about Lis business as soon as he pleased. The truth of the matter ins, be bast been enamoured of the young woman as long as it tinted his mclination, and now be was tired of the amour, and wanted to get rid of her. Law students and other young gentle- Men residing in the Inns of Court, had too mach time upon their 'wads and they got into scrapes from which they friend it difficult to extricate themselves. Mita Gerald cnntinued in seeming insensibility for at least hit sui hour, but atlengelt recovered, and was permitted toto home Without being called upon to aasvicr the chase. however, immediately consented to release him, and his examination proceeded.

FIW war tW Iceived as an inmate ailitt linhasi•whereheremained nearly six months.• Daring this time, he was parti cular in his attentions to my daughter, and professed himself her lover with Mr eanctton. He theft said he was going over to take poisession of the property of his deceased father, and solemnly vowed to marry her on his return. She was very agreeable to it, After this he went abroad, and I found that his fa, thei was still alive; he did not die till 1819. In 1820 the defendant returned, and on the Bth of September in that year came to my house. He was Much pleased to see us happy:: He told me, as we were in a hackney-coach, that he bad a favour to ask—if I' would let him marry my daughter? I replied, I would take his offer. He shook my hand, and told me he would make her happy. He afterwards vi sited at my house; and saw my daughter. The next time he gave me a ten pound note, and my wife a, one pound note, and said he would pay our rent, and we should want for nothing as long as we lived. He I afterwards came to bring me some mere money. The last time he came, he said that he had changed his mind, and did not intend to marry. I after wards received the 'letter now shewn to me. He found no fault with my daughter, and gave no rea son for not marrying, but that he meant to remain single for life. . On cross.examination, the witness said—The de fendant served on board a man cif war nearly the whole of his first absence. At the first conversation about marriage, my wife and myself only were pre sent. .At the conversation in the hackney-coach, he Only was with me. I received no money from him since his marriage. I did not congratulate him on his marriage —(A paper was here put into the wit :ness's hand, which he admitted to be 114 writing).— I never spoke to him since his marriage. I never • asked or applied for money for my wife or daughter Mary. My daughter Betsey is about forty. I sup pose the defendant is thirty-five or thirty-six: I knew `him when a boy, and cannot be positive whether he is thirty. I support my daughter. . Re-examined.—The present wife of the defendant was related to him in the same degree with plaintiff. The letter of 'November 9, 1820, was .then read. subscribed—" Your affectionate nephew and niece," and excited much laughter. Mary Hester, the sister of the plaintiff, said—l re 'Member the defendant often coming to our house when '''at school, at Mr. Elliott's, at Bethnal-green, which was for some years. After.he left school, it was six teen or seventeen years before we saw him again. He then returned in a sailor's .dress, and in a miserable state; we assisted him, and he remained viith us six months, during which time he lived et our table. — When he left us, he said he was going on accouut of , his father's death. lie asked my sister her consent to marry her in the presence of my father, mother, and myself. She gave it ; he begged her to remain single; as he would marry no one else. He turned tO me -1 0 Mind, Mary, you are witness that your sister keeps herself single." She promised to keep herself single, 1 and he went away.

The *try would re- . member, that this cause wai'really the cause of times father, who supported his daughter, and who 'Attar,* played the attorney ; and therefore they would rshre4: ceive his statements with great caution and jealouse.v b --.. The defendant, surrounded as he had been by t h . members of this family, could call no witnesses to . , explain or. contradict any of their assertions, but was entirely at their mercy. They would perceive, from the letter which had been read, that he was. a very • ignorant man ; he had passed the wandering life of sailor, and was not very likely, in destitution. and in .. rags, to " ensnare" the affections of a lady who hid, . . considerably the advantage of him in years. Hos pitably entertained, according to their means, by her family, he was ready,-perhaps, - to return her smiles: but there was no proof of any blandishments by which he had obtained her love, or of the singular hold which he was said to possess oa her affec tions. It did not appear that she made any at-. tempt to prevail• on him to remain in England ; ,he never said, " Marry me before you go ;" she saw him depart without a murmur, and never held any correspondence with him in his long absence. Was her celibacy, then, which had been. so pathetically deplored, to be attributed to her " rare fidelity," or to her humble situation, or indigence, and that ma ture age to which she had arrived before she received the defendant's addresses? The Learned Couasel, who bad sought to give every part of the case an in genious, a fanciful, aad an eloquent colouring, had asked them to.make it their own ; he was wilting to take the same rule, and leave them to estimate the injury, as the plaintiff herself had estimated it, at £3OO, which was a large sum far a family in the si tuation of life in which Mr. Hester moved. They would, he trusted, consider this as a fair guide, in that temperate consideration of the case which they were bound to bestow. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE recapitulated the evi-. deuce. He observed, that the sum which the plain tiff was willing to receive was a fit subject for them to consider, but they might give less or more at their discretion. Whether they should give that sum, pe more, or less, was peculiarly for their determination ; and he left it entirely 'in their hands, only reminding them they should be temperate in estimating damages, The Jury, 'after consulting for a few minutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, L:8130. .
