This action le ►rought by the plaintiff to recover he your verdict compensa tion in damages for an injury of A very serious nature. The relaCarr between the plaintiff and the object of the defendsat's seduction, upon which this action is founded, is that of mas ter and sect nut.

Miss Clegg lived with her brother till the uohappy occasion which gr• e rise to this action. Her brother, the plaintiff, married a cousin of t h e dvlentlant. An uncle of the irteienthint's too monied au aunt of ens plaintiff. These connexions led necessarily In frequent and familiar intercourse between the parties, Vs lien ►be was at the early age of IC., the defendant proposed paying his ad, drew ato Miss Clegg. It seems that she felt a suspicion that he bad been attached to a sister of hers who was warned.— On that aceaunt she rejected bin ad presses. Mr. Crompton then applied to his aunt by marriage, and her aunt by consan guinity, to ittlereede with her. She represented that lie was a man of lot tune, that he professed attachment to her, and that •hs aimed in her own light refusing hint. Miss Clegg7s scruples was end she accepted him as her honourable lover. la ISIS the marriage was repeatedly fixed, and the defendant represented tint he was presented from having the baps pro claimed by her not being of age, and the impossi'oity of bas in tide consent of her parents, which, as the law then stood, was necessary. In these cironnistanedi he succeeded in what IsPlinared to have peen his object, and obtained passmsion not army at her all'. diens but of bar person. When she• became prevant, the def veleta thought fit to change his tone, and gibe reasons why he would not perform his promise, It may be asked why it is brought as nn action for seduction, and not for breach of promise of marriage, .n 3 reason doe■ no dia. honour to Miss Cleg.; . f, It is, that the defendant has had— &ball I say the hardheartedness,--to say that the reason for not performing his pror•.iise is, that he can wing evidence thet she was connected with tribe'. men. A mere foul and a more slap• Verona imputation, if her character is known to her hardly, was never cast upon any woman; but for this reason it is ,thought ft to sabjeot her to examination in that boar Alias .lane Clegg appeared in the witness-box.
