My brother was not then in the house. He attemred against roe, and at the same time promised marriage. He never talteany thing, but did refigh usage, and mentioned marriage. He did not then seemed, but left the house about nine o'clock. A neigh:- bear, John Stuttard, came in whilst he was there. Smith came again at ten o'clock the next morning. My brother and niece were then absent. At the time be came in I was washing, and be forced me into a dark passage. I wished him to be quiet, and desired him to go 'tome, and he again promised marriage. I told him I was too young, and he said if I would marry him he should be worth 1111110/. a year after his father's death. He then prevailed against me, and stayed two hours in the bouts. He came again that day at eight o'clock in the evening. He remained at that time in the house till near eleven o'clock. My father came home that night about ten O'clock, and saw Smith there. who told him that he bad come to keep me company. Smith came again in about two months after. My father went to bed directly the night he came home. Smith re raained about a quarter of an hour after my father went to bed. He soon atter left the house, when be next came to the house in two months after, my father and mother were not at home, having gone to church. In about thirteen weeks, I found myself in a state of pregnancy. Oa the6th of November my mother discovered it. The child was born on the 20th of March. 'I had a bail cough before the child was born, which prevented it from coining to its full time. My mother sent for Smith, when I told it t , her.— When he came; he asked me if the child was his, I said it was. He then said I must lay it on some one else.

Verdict ac cordingly. * -- Cron-examined by Mr.Setitterr. —Catt 4 t say how much more he is than fifty. I have some sisters, the eldest of whom is married. The other is older than me. She also has been married, but is now a widow. It is four years last Jely xicee the widow was married. She is about seven years older than me. She bad a child before marriage.— The husband of my eldest sister is living, and •lives about three miles (tom my father. It is about two years since she married. I had four sisters; but two are dead. Only one of my brothers lives with my father. He has no ser vant now. He had a servant named Thomas Jackson last year. Can't say how old be was. He came in July last year, and left in the 6th of August. He slept in the house up stairs, his bed-room was next mine, and to go to mine I was obliged to go through his room. He is a good looking young man. [The defendant, who was sitting in one of the back seats io the Court, was here tailed upon by Mr. SCARLETT to stand up and exhibit himself; which excited considerable laughter. He was an emaciated, black-visaged, elderly looking man, certainly the most unpromising form in which the Clod of Love ever sued to a young lady of seventeen ; yet this young lady admitted he sued and won her.] That is the man. The first time he came my father aid mother were absent, but my brother (16 years old) was left there. 1 did not like his rough usage; did not fall in love with him. I resisted. There was nobody in the house.— My brother and niece were gone to school, and Jackson had gone. He forced me into a dark passage, Nobody came home daring that time, and I went again to my washing.— He came again at S o clock that evening. My niece, who was seven years old, had gone to bed. We had no female servant. I did not cry out. -My brother had gone to inert my father, and went to bed when he came home. I never went to invite Smith to come and drink tea with me, after my father and mother went vat. My father and mother did not fir,t suspectJackeoo to be the father of the child.' did not tell my mother of it till she saw how 1 was. At the conver sation with Smith before my my mother, he denied it alto• gether. He did not come to my father after, nor did I see him after. Re-examined by Mr. BROVGII.OI.—I slept in the rrom over the house where my father and mother step', and they too were obliged to pass through his room.My brother slept with Jacicson, Thomai Jackson is here. When he left us he went to my brother's. He had been helping with the bay, which was 'finished in the beginning of August, and he then went to my brother's, where he continued. Be fore lie came to my father he was hired by my brother to help him. He was servant for both. The child my sister had was by him. She afterihrds married.

The Learned Gentleman commenced by observing, that Lis Learned Priend had said, that this was a triumphant ease, and if it were to be judged by a comparison of advocates, he , had no doubt that it would, because the observations which his Learned Vriend had applied to him more propetly be longed to himself. No man possessed more ingenuity than his learned friend, or knew how to make a great ease of a little one. Howeier they would exsmine cautieusly and judge of the case by the probability of the circulustatiees.— If what this young woman has sworn, be trot., the defend ant, instead of having an action of damages brought against him, ought to have been indicted for a rape. If so, there was en end to the action. lint did they believe her ? A man whom she swore was near N years old, who so strong ly excited the disgust and *nausea of his learned friend, and indeed he was not surprised that the appearahce of his un happy client should have done so. He had heard of the God of Love having assumed many shapes to captivate • ' a beast, a bird, a serpent; bat of all the cases record e d i n that most learned work upon these matters, and to which he would refer his Lordshjp—leid's Metauiorphores the shape of an old man was the only one not recorded by that ply t, as having been assumed by him ; yet this young lady of 17. swore that this old man of .i 3, of no very ptepo-sessing count , not being as they must observe, very firm its his head, and smoking his pipe, made love to her, and so captivating was he, emir old man, that she could not resist. But she has gone further. 8 'captivating was the Gull of Love in the shape of this old man, that he had promised her marriagek• Sot was this so? Could they believe her when she talked of a promise of marriage-- strange promise of marriage that must be,. which as she said was Mira) , accompanied with rough usage.— They should examine all the circumstances, att.' . see how they were fitted to the ease; and if any-doubt i after due consideration, remained upon their minds of the truth of the girl's story, they were bound to find i verdict for the defendant. He would appeal to their own ktiewledge and experience, and ask them if they could believe that a man who seemed to possess inch amorous propensities at ant, could have abstained from seeing this object whom be so eagerly pursued for two months. %%Nat was more probable than that this girl, either at her owesug gestion or that of her father, turned the charge against this old man, in ordef to screen the real father of the child, Jackson, who was a labourer, and whose poverty precluded the possibility of compensation in damages? It was no: unreasonable to throw some suspicion upon this young wo. mans from the eirctlmstance of her sister having had a chill before marriage; because it was not likely, that a girt ' brought up in the same house with her, could be so pure, or her morn's untainted. The Learned Gentleman con cluded by saying, that unclean the circumstances, nothing was more probable than that Jackson was the real seducer ; and that he bad no doubt, if be were worth some hundreds of pounds, the action would have been brought against him, instead of the defendant, The Jury t after a few minutes deliberation. returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1001.; costs 40s. CROWN SlDE.—Before Mr, Justice BAYLEY. MANSLAUGHTER.—MAIL-COACU DRIVINE. Peter Brethertml was inclined for feloniously killing and slaying, on the 12th of April, Stephen Robinson, by driving over him the Liverpool and Bolton mail-coach, in the parish of Eccleston, in this county. This trial excited considerable interest from the well known character and wealth of the prisoner, who (together with his family) was an extensive coach proprietor, awl contractor for conveying several of the mails in this county.: He appeared at the bar dressed in black clothes, and accom panied by several friends. Mr BLACKBURN, in stating the case for the prosecution. observed, that the charge against the prisoner at the bar, who was the proprietor of the coach, was of the most se. none nature—it was for causing the death of a fellow createre, while peaceably engaged in his occupation on the high road. The prisoner, it would be pr wed, was driving the Bolton mail-coach at the rate of from 19 to 12 miles an hone, and two persons on the road at the time, litho would becalled as witnesses, narrowly escaped tram be ing upset by the coach. An old man named Stephen Ro binson, was not however, so fortunate* he was deaf, up wards of 70 years of age, and employed in picking Up weeds. ann dung upon the road, by which occupation he haul long.. obtained a livelihood., Over this poor man th e coac h. wheels were driven, and he died in a day 'or two after, in. consequence of the wounds. he had received on that orca: sion. • It was due to the prisoner to state, that he tiled to stop the horses when they came doin bpain 'the deceased't: but his efforts were obvious, in Vein, owing to the extremes rapidity; with which be had T .
