Mr. Oriairoise lanced, ibis war an anion latonitht to recover 211. 13s. the amount of a 11:11 of Lx change, given by the Defendant to the Plaintiff, for millinery. The Defendant was a lady of the first fashion, and a leader of dress in the fashionable world. The Jury would be in an equal surprise with him, when they heard the defence that would be set up in this cause. They would hear the Learned Gentleman for the Defendant say. she was married; but he did not beliereir,andwould not i believe it, even if it was sworn in that Court; and why ? because it would be libelling the lady, to suppose a female of she greatest fashion would be married, and the world not know it, not even her particular friends ; for if she was married, it was only a marriage of an hour—a marriage to cover her debts. It was a noble method of pay ing her milliner ; she who had assisted her to the finery that causes l.er, at the present hour, to be of so much notoriety. He hoped. for the lady's sake, that this talk of marriage existed only with her At torney, And that he made use of it only to deter the Plaintiff trout trying the issue of the present ac lion. A Cler': of the Plaintiff proved the bill, and also the value that had been given fur it. Sir V•CAPY Guam, Counsel for the Defendant, said be would not make any remarks, but content himself with simply proving the marriage. Two Witnesses proved the marriage in Mi. ' On Iheir cross-examination, they said. they did not know where the husband was; they were at the wedding, which took place at It o'clock in the da►, and the bride and bridegroom went off together in a post-chaise ; did not see him since, but thought and believed he was a gentleman.

The substance of the case was, the Defendant • was an extensive jeweller ; the Plaintiff, a working jeweller, had his son in the employ of the Defend ant, as a book-keeper. He did not wish to apply to Defendant for orders for work, but made his clerk apply, in the name of Mrs. Smith, a widow lady, whom the del k knew to be a servant, and the relation of the Plaintiff. The clerk used to settle the accounts with the Plaintiff's son. Mrs. Smith went twice to Defendan.'s shop, so as to blindfold him, but neither she or the son seemed to recognise one another. The clerk proved, that the Plain tiff cautioned him against seeming to have any ac quaintance with his son, although he saw him one: a week at Plaintiff's house*, and also told Max his reason for carrying on the business under Mrs. Smith's name. was for fear Defeodant would not like to employ him, as his sea kept tl.e books., On the Detendaat's findreg some impropriety in young klwerthy's condutt. he di s no,,aea him t h e , s t rike, on which Mrs. Smith brought an amble
