NEMINFOUJ) tr. IIIEL•bil). This was an action brought by • Miesisabella Ifearnford, • young woman of resiwetatiie family, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, against M.. beheld, a Clerk in the Bank, for a bretiCh of Pin:nisi.: of Marriage. The cause was tried at the Spring Assizes, and a verdict for bOOl. diunages ntitaniell. Mr. PITL•IaN, this day, mitered for a new tied, upon the ground of excessive damages. It ap- Kared that the Defendant being at Newcastle, he became enamoured of die lady, and promised her marriage in the preseuce of her friends, who as *tded to the match. The Defendant's father, however, was extremely di pleased at the eininec tiou, and said he would for ever break with his son •if lie persisted in Cie connection. The sequel was, that the Defendant married another lady, and the Plaintiff brought her action for the breath of pro mise. • The Defendant suffered judgment by default, and the Jury found a verdict fur the Plaintiff, with 8001. daina L ee. These, the Learned Counsel contended, were excessive, and inconsistent with the Defendant's means. Ile added, that the Defendant had no means of paying the damages; and the whole of the property he possessed was 70 acres of laid epon the banks of the river Tyne, which he fuel got with his wife. • The Coeur asked the value of the land, lent the , Coausel not being prepared with au answer, their Lordships granted a Risk to *hew cause. ANOTHER 'BREACH OF THE SAME lit:ilD. ' stsAstrt S. ‘IIIIII.IION. This was also as action. for a breach of promise of. marriage, ands. verdict obtained for 6001. da mages. Mr. Dauxceir mewed to • set aide that verdict, upon the ground of excessive damages. It appeared that the Defendant, who is a country Attorrtev, became desperately. enamoured of' the Plaintiff, and sortie familiar cneresportdence having !sassed betwixt them, he executed a bond to her for 10001. to be enforced if he did not marry her in six mouths after his *metes death. The uncle died, and ao marriage took place, upon which the 'Plaintiff brought her action. The Defendant pleaded that the Plaintiff had pat it ouCof his power to marry her, and instanced • variety of cercunavtauces to prove the Lady's want of virtue and public decorum. . Attioarpit other things, be gave evidence of her having beet' seen lolling over a bridge with • Gen tleman, whose arms were familiarly enfolding her waist ; and at another time, when she was return ing from a walk in the fields with a Oentletnaii, her pelisse was discoloured behind, and her diem rumpled and confused. The same Witness added, that she had twe or three children by different wen. This' was, howeier,confrouted by 40001 CT Witness, and the cherges denied, upon which the Jury found as above stated. The Learned Conners], however, who moved for the new trial, said it was stated in his affidavit that the Witness who contradicted the Defemitint's case, bad confessed, since the trial, that she had re ceived money from Plaintiff to state that contradic tion upon oath, and that, in point of fact, the Plain tiff wits a very imprudent atrl loose woman. Still it was manifest the Defendant was not wholly un til:3;llU habitual ,with incontinencellaln-tifram's i w i a t ot ap o p f ea red prudece further,und that one of the children was his own, and went by his name. • The Comer thought it • case in which they ought not to interfere, and refused to disturb ti le former verdict. The Plaintiff had the bond for 10001. and might have enforced it, so that the De fendant was a gainer by the present action. An application, of an interesting nature, was made by Mr. LAMBS. It was !leafed as a sort of b ar against the passing of sentence on a person who had been found guilty at the Assizes of de ferring a Custom-house Officer in the discharge of his duty. The Lever of Assistance, as it is called, under which all Officeys of the Customs act, is dated in the WI year of the reign of His present Majerty. It was urged by the Learned Counsel, that this letter was perform: to the then Commis sioners of the Customs, and to persons to be named by them. All of three Commissioners were dead previous to the officer's appointment to his situation in the Customs ; the Learned Counsel therefore contended, that he acted without authority. The Arroetize-Gewseat alleged, that the practice had been to 'nem such • letter only at the cominenceinent of each reign. Ile admitted, how ever, that it wits a question of importance. Rule to chew ca,i,e granted. _ Yesterday being the first Sunday in Term, the Jurors, LOAD MAYOR, Mansur:sr, andSnaators, attended divine service St. Paul's Church.-- Ito the evenin•. the Jersusa, &c. were eutimuainad at dinner at the Mansion-house. We are concerned to state, that the Earl of IlastuvrtcliE, on Saturday, received a vrnifiranation of the mc:aiieliolly event of the death of his eldrst son, Viw•ount Rots Ton, as mentioned in the Fo.. reign News in Tue BRITIIO4 Passe of Friday.— Vi,coutit Hotstoar left Ireland about two years ago for the Continent, and was on his return en the 7th of last month in the ship Agatka, of Lu beck, a hen the vessel was wrecked iu a storm, not far from Memel, and his Lordship sae unfortu nately drowned. The names of other sufferers are given iu the Memel article; but English names are very incorrectly stated in the foreign papers. Had hie Lordship lived until this day, he would have been twenty-four years old. It was reported that the Marquis of Donaras was lost in the same vessel, but we do not understand that thcre,is any authority for this report. Oa Wednesday morning, about four o'clock, a lugger, laden with contraband goads, ran into Crow link, near Cucktnere. ill Sussex, wherea party of men were assembled to convey them away ; when some soldiers, who were parroting the coast, fell in with them, and took five honors with ten casks of spirits, awl four mess, two of whom made their escape. The goods were lodged in Ilia Ms aarrY's Cnetorn-house, at Newhaven, sad the men put in confinement. A seuftle ensued, in which one of the smugglers received a dangerous wound on the head from a sabre. 7tinV. ' *1 ( NEVIMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, Iliac I rIttDAY. MAY 6. Sweepstakes of :245. each.
