He then gave evidence as follows : The defendant was at school at Bethnel-green. He need often to pass his vacations at my lions., M e tither being a cousin to my wife. When be left school hr went to America. Some years after he returned, either in the latter end of 1815. or in the beginning of 1816, in a very miserable condition, dressed in a rough sailor's jacket, and scarcely a shoe to his feet. lie was received as an inmate at my house, where lie remained nearly 'six months. Duthie this time, he was particular in his. attentions to my daughter. and professed himself her lover with my sanction. He then said he was going over to take possession of the property of his deceased hither, and solemnly vowed to marry her on his return. She was very agreeable to it. . Ater this, he went abroad, and I found that his father was alive; he did not die till 1819. In I$21?, the defendant returned. and on the 6th of September in that year came to my house. He was much_pleaged to ere us happy ; he told me, as we were in a Irsekney coach, that lie had a favour to ask—if I would let him marry my daughter ? lrepliett, 1 would take leis offer ; he shook my hand, and told me he would make her happy. He afterwards visited at my house and saw toy daughter. The next time he gave me a 101. note, and my wife a 11. note, and said he would pay our rent. and we should want for nothing as long as we lived. He afterwards came to bring me some more money. The last *we lie came, he said lie hail changed his mind. and did not intend to marry. I afterwards received the letter now shown to nie. lie found no fault with my daughter, and gave no reason for not marrying, hat that lie meant to remain siugle for life. On cross-examination the witness said—The defendant served on board a man of war, nearly the whole of his first absence. At the first conversation about - marriage, my wife astri myself only were present. At the conver sation in the hackney coach, he only. was with me. I received no money from hint since Isis marriage. 1 did not congratulate him on his marriage. [A paper was here put into the witness's hand, which he admitted to he his writing J 1 never spoke to him since his mar riage. 1 never asked or applied fo► money for my wife or dauOtter Mary. My daughter Betsy is about 40. I suppose the defendant 15 35 or 3,; I knew him when a boy, and cannot he positive whether he is 30. I support my daughter. • Ite-examined.--The present wife of the defendant, was related to him in the saute degree with the plain tiff. The letter of N0v.9,1820, was then read, end sub scribetl—" Ynor affectionate nephew anti twice," and excited much langhter. Mary Hester, the sister of the plaintiff, said-1 remem ber the defendant often coming to our house when at schdol, at Mr. Elliott's, at liethnal•greew, which was for %nine years. After he left school it was 16 or 17 years before we saw hint again. He then returned in a sailor's dress, and in a miserable state ; we assisted him, and be remyiued with Its Sisix 1110 grill', during which be lived at our table. When lie left us, lie slid he Was going OR as* count of his father's death. lie asked my sister her COO.. sent to marry her in the presence of talk father, mother. ) and myself. She gave it ; he begged her to remain single, as he would ma-ry no one else. Ile turned to me —" Mind, Mary, von are witness that your sister keeps herself single." She promised to keep herself single, and he went away. in 1820, I again s ate lute de fendant and my sister togelher; he call he restimohmed I l ia promise to her and was ready to fulfil it the first op 'Tiortunity ; , she said " she was quite agreeable." About tkree weeks after, she said he bad altered his mind, and ,intended to remain sinfrie,i.She was perticoletly all- ced, became nervous, and luta pewee. hero the .easase person since. Ile said he woulil make her any amends, 'Mt seas . determined not to marry. On the second of Noy. at:rr, TUB MC v. JoUN STURGESS. This defendant was indicted for a misdemeanour in indecently exposing I self in a public thoroughfare at Moorfields,on the 16 h of May last. The prosecution was conducted at the instance of the Corporation of London, by the SOLICITOR COMMON SRRJRANT. and fr. ROLLAND. The defence wt a conducted by Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. ABRAHAM. It appeared from tits evidence of several mimeses, tbal the Cefendant was seen on some logs of wood near the London Institution, Moorfields, on the 16th of May, exposing himself for half an hour in the presence of se veral female children. Perceiving that be was watched, he made off, but was pursued, evertaken, and delivered into the hands of a constable. The defendant offered any terms to be allowed to escape, en account of the conse quences which a prosecution would occasion to his faudly. He uas however taken before the Lord Mayor, and committed fur trial. _ Mr. ADOLPHys, feeling the weight of the evidence to be irresistible, submitted to a verdict, and the defendant was found Guilty. BREACH OF PROMISE OP MARRIAGE. This was an action to recover a compeneatinn in da mages for a breach of promise of marriage. TIIC damages were laid at 1,0001. ➢lr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. WENTWORTH were Counsel for the plaintiff. The SOLICITOR Lissasar. and Mr. Lewas were for the defendant. Mr. WIENTWORTII opened the pleadings. Mr. C. Philips detailed the oircninsitances under which the plaintiff sought to recover. He did so, he said, with someiembarrassment, because he had heard it ritinonred that he should be fortunate if he recovered aay damages or had not a verdict against bim ; although he was sure that, unless his brief was one mass of falsehood, this runsoar was groundless. The plaintiff was a female who sought damages fur the hs• acts of a contract the most delicate and solemn, under circumstances strong enough to overcome her natural reluctance to disolose her wrongs and sufferings. Many years ago, the De fendant was sent to England from America. where his father then resided, to be placed at School, and was re- • commended to the notice of the family of the plaintiff, of whom ha was a distant relative. lie remained at a school at Bathos' Oreee, for seven years, daring which time he constantly spent his holidays at the house of Mr llester, and received from him ail the courtesies, lied more than all, which hail been entreated for him by his father. When he left school, he removed to Liverpool, and left the family in which lie had been Chnl el, with expressions of rverlastir; gratitude. After an inters's! of years, he came to them Again. with scarcely a shirt to his hack, or a shilling in his pocket, baying landed in a state 9f miserable destitution from Ireland. Her was again received as a relative, lodged and boariled.fpr six mouths, during which he sat daily at their table, find re. eeived kindnesses which ought never to have been ef fseed from his memory. During this period, he thaught fit to originate another claim, which be bad aliusitit for gotten in the days of prosperous fortune. He succeeded, in ensnaring the affections of the plaintiff. and Wiwi very dear to all her relations, bp made his proposals openly, and they were openly accepted. After sonic time, lie said that his father was dead (which proved af terwards to be a fahriestiort) and that therefore he must retails to America; but before he went, he asked and re ceived a promise from Miss Hester, that she would re. .~- more. ?RIM siefeft !VIM: ihe married anothee.

The conduct of the plaintiff.was introduced as a dagrant breach of a most delicate and solemn contract ; and the celibacy ef the plaintiff was stated to be the eonseqnence of ' twee fidelity The jury would very well remem ber, that this cease was really the cause of the father. whd sal ported his daughter, and who employed the at torney ti and therefore they Would receive his statements with great caution and jealousy. The defendant, ear remanded as he had beer, by the 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 rear'. that be was a very ignorant man ; be had passed the wandering life of a sailor, and was not very likely, in destitution and in rags, to "ensnare" the affections of a lady who had considerably the advantageof him in years. Hospitably entertained, according to their means, by her family, lie was ready, perhaps, to return her smiles; hut there was no proof of any blandishments by which he had obtained her love, or of the singular bold which lie was said to possess on her affections.
