The damages w:re laid at 5,0001. The plaiotiff's case was conducted by Mr. urney and Mr. Ch..tty. The leading circumstances •prtwed •in evidowe were these :— . llc plaintiff; who was represented :o be a ~ -nt t ng lady ofgreat personal attractimm, singular untie of disposition, and possessing an nennaplished and yell eultivated mind, is the daughter .of a reapectable• tradesman residiog at Hatfield, in this coutoy : and the defendant .is a gentleman of independent lortune, lately reared from the business of a printer, which he tarried on in • Finch-lane, .Condtill. The parties are itrst cousins by the matestal side;-.and in thb year 1809, the det.nolant, then .about 30 ',years of nge,.and the plaintiff about 2 I commenced his courtship, lay -ing known each other from the• earliest .infancy.— Vrom that time down to.rthe month•of May, 1817, t 4 Aiduntinotts epistolary correspondence was carried on between them, the defendant professing throughout • the whole. the mast .klevoted and tender attachment towards the plaintiff, whose language, in reply, evinced: en her part the wannest reciprocity of affection. The 4!cferaLitt's protn;se of newriage,, relied upon in the •plaintiff s case, was expressed in these terms :—" I will marry you tt,roon as eircumstanelf-Avill pcnnit." it appeared tha . c the defendant's family were averse to the match, and took.every occasion to discourage the connection, imputing the regard of the plaintiff towards the defetalant to sinister motives. The defendant had g sne the , •.kngth of proposing to marry the plaintiff in private, to which she, consented; but although the .vending ring had heat ptirclitised, and the license ob tained, and the half .brother of the plaintiff had con sented to give her away, the contract was never ful :Med. This intimacy continued down till May, 1817, the (lefendunt wrote to the plaintiti; announcing that the' best mode of terminating the anxious suspense which she bud always expressed, was to break off the connection, and _think no more of matrimony ; and he submitted the proposition to her deliberate, judgment, declaring his own intention of .breaking off the match. The defendant'alatber wasthen living, the former br ing in partnership with the .latter .as printers, with a very profitable business. 'ln consequences of the defand ant'e determination to break his promiee, , Mr. Palmer, .a professional friend of the plaintiff'sfamily, was tam ached, and. at .first he wrote a friendly letter to the defendant, conjuring him to consider again (This rash determination ; -..but this letter having no effect, the present action was brought. Since the commencement 'bflegal proceedings, the defendant's father died,tleaving • ?tiro in possession of real and personal property estimat ed at 20,0001. These were the principal .eircumstances .ineved in evidence, the main ground of the case be ' substantiated by a volume of the defendant's letters. Mr. Sergeant Tinkly, with whom was Mr. Comyn, athiresed the jury with considerable ingenuity and tl9iiience in nibigation of damages. Mr. Justice Abbott sninnied up the circumstances of the case with great ulinuteneas and inipartiality. The Jury retired for about an hour, and on their re turn, hien!. :t verdict for the pliiintilf—tDatuages, Facer lYwuurd Puunds.
