CIVIL lIIDL—SEDVcirun. DUNHAM ♦. ItATCHILOR. This was an action against the Defendant, for seducing the daughter of the Plaintiff, whtreby he lost her services. Mr. Barn:Mice (with whom was Mr. Abraham) stated the Plaottff's case with considerable ability. Mr. Marryatt was for the Defendant.

About three years since, the Defendant, a young man of the same age, a journeymen baker in the some village, paid honourable addresses to iter, hut to whom she had surrendered her chastity, mid in the month of April !sit she was delivered of a child. Her father hod paid the surgeon's bill, end had sieve rookstaiwed the child,. She had three brothers and two sisters; the youngest of the latter • was to yaws of age. On her crass-ezaminstion she admitted that he► eldest sister had had three children by ei man to whom she was not marrierl, and all of whom were born under her father's roof.

The Defensfeet pleaded the general isms. This ease elicited very general helms*. Mr. MectoWewe stated the Plaintiff i rem as one of great hardship- sod oppression. The Plaintiff was • re spectable farrisee,ol established morals aid reputation. The Defendant use • young designees of the Chords of Eng fend, and had remedy bees put Job the commission. of the peace. Oa the Pib of May last the Plaintiff mad some of hie (fiestas, respectable and wealthy farmers, had been sesesior themselves is elsootior young rooks ow his farm. It was agreed that the neat day they should meet at the Bell public-house in the villageof Amity, to divide the fruits of their sport. They were perfectly ceded, in their conduct, and were quite sober. About three o'clock its the afternoon the De feelant cam to the public-hostas, and ordered the landlord amt to draw say more beer. This was • matter about which the Plaintiff was perfectly indifferent. The Defendael Men sent for • es•stable and charged t►e Mimi, is custody, amil ordered hamdeuat to be put epee him. The constable sot baiter eery riper* at t►e basins., the Defendant took , the beadniffe end pat them ow the Plaintiff himself, sod, ksi•g fastened to a permatmened Wheeler, was, in that state, dragged to t►e Defendant's rectory at Meriden, oboes two miles distant. At this time the Plaintiff was ignorant of the offence for which he was so treated. He was seat to the rec tory. aid ectelleed until Defendant's arrival, about two hewn ; afterwards The Defendant had takes the key of the Mod es,s with him, and in the mesa time went dear the neigh boorbood boasting that he bad. gut the Plaintiff in hand cuffs. In this ignuininous state the Plaintiff was kept an boor at the Defendant's house, before be could be freed. Min wrist being swollen with pain, arising from Hie baud. cuffs being too small, he asked for ■ little oil at the rec tory, but the servants refused to let him have soy, saying, that it was as much as their Ogees were worth to comply.

The !Wittig; cumulous of his innocence, indignantly refused to pay the mosey or lied the sureties, until be knew what offence he had committed. The Defendant, however, de. climed informier him with w►et be wait charged, and et length, after four hours cunt:Wetness, ■nd after cousulting the constable (who seemed to be • better lawyer than the Magistrate himself,) whit he ought to ifo, he content. d to discharge the Ptsiatiff. This was a mere outline of the ease. The Plaintiff wss even yet ignorant of the sup potted offers-e foe which he had been so unjustly end ty rannically bested. The Crested. Counsel supposed it would be said, that the Plaintiff had been tippling, bet even ad mitting be had, whet law could justify such au iniquitoes abuse of isserieterial sothority ! But the fart was out so; the Plaioliff was perfectly sober. He had he-n token op without • warns! ; eondemued without a hearing, and igno- miniously punished for no crime.

Wino-ores were then called, vibes evidence su►stantiated the case of the Plaintiff. Mr. WALIIORD stated a case of justification oti the par►of . the Defendant, who accused the Plaintiff of being a tippler, end guilty of cootemptuuns behaviour to his clime' in the discharge of his duty as a Magistrate, hut the wittiest@ whom he called did not support his sistreseis. Mr. Baron Wood charged the Jury, that the Defendant had •mainly uutstepped the limits of his authority. Flirt, there was me pretence fur banilcuf&ng she Plaintiff; second, he had no authority fur putushiog the Plaintiff in the way ireempleined of ea a tippler: for supposing it to be moved that the Plaratiff was a tippler, be could u•ly have Geed him 7s. 4d ; and iu defeult of paying that lbw, he could but have eel him in the stocks f.,r fuer hours.

The Rest nsonsieg, after bearing Divine Service, his Lordship proceeded to the County Hall. tad the Grand Jury bolsi already in attendance, be shortly addressed them on the Important duties they were shoot to discharge. He began by observing, that it WWI with mode pleasure be per ceived, oo looking over the calendar, that the number of eases which would be submitted to their coasiderstioa was less than in some former instances, and that the diminution in the class of juveuile offenders was smelt as to call forth his warmest congratulations ou the improvement whit* at was thus manifested was taking place amoug the lower ' orders of the peopk. He was sure they would agree with bin ascribing these happy results to the more gement di f i!

Another subject which gem him very meaiderable gratifi cation to notice, was the ploseptitede and attention w i th which the deposi;ime talten before Magistrates on the eta. reiostio• sf offenders had been trarennitted to the Clerk et Assisi,.

As to the money which you paid fur the pigs, and was token from the Prisoner, shall only say that the constable, I have ao doubt, will do what is right on the subject." The Court rose at loves o'clock. !PRINT.

The act was also charged as au offence at MANI nsun low. Mr. CROW opened the pleadings. Air. Jenne then proceeded to detail the perticnlare of the ease, cautiorisig the Jury against receiving their insierresions of the gnat of the prisoners from bps address to them.— The indictment, which they had beard, was of considerable length, and might have a little embarrassed them, if they had attempted to keep the whole of it in their memory; but he wished them to confiue their attention to the eiream eirnee of Pyles having set fire to the premises, and Howell beware instigated and procured hint to do en---their object being, as charged upon them, to injure and detrain, G.

It was y fur him to state to the Jerry, that the farm in question was let under lease, for • term of yeses, to the husband of the Prisoner, Howell, which term expired at Slichrelmsa last. The lessee, Ibrevell'a hosbaud, died seine time ago; but before hie death he hail given notice to quit the farm at the expiration of his term. It was oecessery that he should state this to the Jury, ire order to show list the possession had, in fart, reverted to Major Dawson, the landlord, against wham it was alleged this mischief was intended. Accordingly another tenant was provided, a Mr. Sadler, but attire was a stipulation us the lease that Howell should hold the tenements after the lease was up, to consume the remaining materials on the farm.— The in-coming tenant, Sadler, took possession of an out house, to which he put his earls mid ser•vane, and that was one of the places burnt; he also oecupieg part of the stable; sod on the day preceding the fire, Mrs. Howell had a sale of her stock. preparatory to her giving up the entire posses sion to her successor. The Phenix Insurance Company was also made a party io this prosecution, because she hail th awed her Work with that Office for 1,oeoL; sad ite they un dertook to make good her lose by fire, the destreetioe of her property by her own will was • fraud upon the Company.
