I know Edward Bla mes.; he lived with his father, a gentleman of goo d property, at Soak House. He came to visit my, daughter about six years since. He visited often. After he had visited about two or three years I had a conversation with him. He often breakfasted and diued with us. I was going home from Carlisle and met him. He said the road was !rely dirty. and he would take me home if 1 went up behind him. I .did so. He took me to Scotby. We both got off and went into my house. I told him I was very Mulch blamed by my Giend• and acquaintances foe allowing him to come so much about my house, and I wished to know what hip intentions were. He said his intentions were honourable ; and if ever he lived to marry womankiud. he meant to marry Sarah. I told him that he knew he *mold not get much with her, arid he said he did not want it. When we got into the house, and supper was ordered, I called Sarah, my daugh , ter, and told hr. I had often quarrelled with h r for allowing Mr. Simile to cause -o often to her, tout that he had satisfied me. She said, Very weeN," and asked me what conversation we hint hail. I explained to her in his presence. Her mother and two of her sisters were also present. He con tinued bia visits after that. I asked Mr. Blarairc, in presence of the family, if lie meant as he had Mid on the road coming home. He got up, and taking my hand, said, shaking my hand, that he would bit honourable to his word, and if ever be married say person, he would marry Sarah Thompson. She sod. " Very well," if 1 was satisfied. 1 think the suite wele mere frequent after this than Iss-fure. A few weeks after, 1 lust mentioned tke subject to him, and asked if his intentions were the saute as before. We were coursing together. I saki peo ple were pleaging me about his coming so ofiro for me• for hunting. He said 1 need not totod peopk. I should do as I pleared. He perhaps may kill or 24. I am not certain. I believe he is =OM I don't know whether he lives at Parkhead now, or Smile House. He married Miss Oliver from Parkhead. The lest time I was coursing with him was upon Berrock. about two years ago, the but season bat one. I asked then, and he said .certainly his iuteutions of marrying Sarah where the 'some; lie was received at my house as tha'persoo whom I expected to be my son-in-law. Cross-examined by Mr. SCAaLETT. —The time 1 was riding behind him was about four years ago, it may be more or less. He came first to my house with Mr. Armstrong, the attorney in this cause.— They were strangers to me. I rent 1801. a year.- 1 never spoke to his father, who lived about silt miles off. He sometimes played at cards with us. 1 had been blamed several times. I never went to Lis father about it. I had no reason to think at all respecting his father liking it. / knew he was a natural son. I thonght he might have expectations from his father. 'I never esker' what he woo to have. I never asked why he was dangling about so long without marrying. She never ',hewed me any letters she had from him. I have no reason to give why I did nut ask him why be did not marry. itie•eromixed.—My daughters who were present were Mary Ante'', and Ruth; Roth is in London, and very ill. Mary Amely.-1 lived with my father before I was married to "Mr. Amely. I saw Mr. Blamire there. I recollect my fattier snd him coming home from Carlisle together. My " father said he was often blamed both by friends and relations about Mr.• Blamire coming so much about the house, and he wished to know his intentions if he wished to marry Sarah. Mr. Blamire said, to be sure, if be married any woman living he would marry her, and there was his hand of it. My father said, "Very well, lam satisfied." Mr. Blamire was after that lwuked ■eon as one of the family. He was very often there. It is above a year since 1 married. By Mr. SesaLerr —All this was after we had got supper. 1 sin younger than my sister; I am V 3, and the is a •ear older. My sister is the eldest of the family. He was sometimes alone before that with her. They used to walk in the garden. I used to walk with him too. 1 am sure it was not with me he was in love. He paid her most atlen. ' tion. M►. Armstrong came sometimes with him. Mr. Armstrong came for none of us. He came for the whole family. We were not surprised that they were not marrying. I was two years acquainted with Mr. Amely lufore I married. Mr. Armstrong is my father's landlord. Philip Tbompsou proved the letters produced to be Mr: Edward 61r/tire's handwriting.

Mr. ScAittrrr.--What ri* it all done ? lam very sorry there is no wore of it. There are worse verses made about Carlisle. The Rev. John Heysham married the Defendant and Miss Hanush Oliver in November last. Mrs, Oliver was called, but not appearing, Mr. BROVGRAM said he did not press it. The, was his c.sse. Mr. SCARLEM-.-1 know not whether I shall be able to keep up the tone of merriment and ridicule which my Learned Friend very judiciously intro dared into this cause. Not only are love-letters in their very nature ridiculous, hut this cause is of a character which could lint be mentioned to you with affected gravity. Young men of 10 or 20 are loud of writing ouch letters as you have heard read. The clerk, for his is an age fitted for such letters, read the letters extremely well—far better than he could read old parchment. My learned friend, Mr. Brougham, said he was skilled in amorous productions, and nut much acquanited with love• letters : but if lw, learned as he was, were to be deeply in lose, he would have got thin upon it, but the poor Defendant got fat; she never could have believed that he was in love with her. Gentle men, what woman in the world could believe that a man loved her sincerely if he got tat in her absence 1 Lovers, gentlemen, pine, they don't grow fat, and I dare say she was as sleek as he. Well, and *hat damages will you give?— You see he is a bad poet : she could not expect to be amused by his poetry. He has not a farthing of his own ; what then has she lost ? My Learned Friend. Mr. Brougham, and if a Counsel from his cold and phlegmatic mintier of reading his brief must make the di►covery, what must a young lady have made I Even Mr. Brougham discovered that the letter betrayed a greater passion for the horse than the lady. Love is blind, hot it is to the de fects of its object, and is keen-sighted to the charms and beauties even of a crow of Egypt. Love, then, would have made the comparison which my Learned Friend missed, and said that Muss Thomp son was superior to all the ladies of Carlisle. We. men at a certain age are really older and dis creeter than uteu. They know at eighteen what we discover much later. Nature, that has accom plished them m all things, has given them this advantage too; and Miss Thompson must have said to her sister, "Look at that ridiculous boy, he thinks himself in love, but lie is much fonder of his horse." But what injury has she sustained! Is she pining 1 I dare say she is as handsome as she was before. None of the witnesses has said that she sighed. or shed a tear over the treachery of her lover. If. then, you do give ■ verdict for the Plaintiff—in what has she suffered damage ? She has lust a beggarly boy ; and I verily believe her father would not have allowed the marriage without his father's consent, because without that he had nothing. It is an attempt, gentlemen, to get money for Mr. Thompson's family. Mr. Armstrong being his landlord, and wanting his rent. But nu promise has been proved on her part. no expression ha. appeared to have escaped her. If he had lived unmarried to the age of 70, it appears no com plaint would have been made. It was never, there fore, deemed by themselves a promise of marriage; but treated, gentlemen, with levity or with gravity, you will not think serious damages due. Mr. Ju►tice HOLROYD summed up at consider. able length. and left it to the Jury whether any promise of marriage had been seriously given and mutually agreed to. His Lordship pointed out se reial circumstances as against the probability of such a promise. The Jury, without leaving the box, considered for a few minutes and found a verdict for the Plant. tiff—Damages 100/. This vrrdict was evidently not expected; but it gave general and high satisfaction. • .7., .~- , • - " L ' e 'ar s it a. stamen sol n mpfavn 88, 1884 • . as raeras jugs *Ns. ...I, • CIVIL MID& • ~3 , WOPI Ms. Justice Baillinr. WAN 46111111111118 If nicwics assihrfluas, v. ant The Tres an issue oat of the Court of Chancery, went Own by the IfiCe-Chsocellor, to try the right of the Defenda n t, C o lo ne l Ree d, of Chipchase, to • certain estate situated at ifesleyside in this county. The real Plaintiff in this ease is a young Gentleman of the name of Charlton, whose an 'restore were the proprietors of the estate in ques tion. The circumstances of the case, which are rather curious, are as fellow in the year 1747, Mr. Cloche's having fell.. into embarrassed circumstances, a person of the name of Rooks obtained a judgment against him by a pro cess in law termed an iikgif, by virtue of which half of the estate becomes the property of the creditor who ha such judgment. In this situation en agreement was made between the parties, •that instead of taking half the estate, Mr Rooke should be suffered to take possession of the whole nail his debts were satisfied. A great uncle of the De fendant had also obtained a judgment against Charlton, and being desirous of enjoying the same situation al Rooke, this Mr. Reed bought Ftooke's right in the estate for 575 t. Rooke had covenanted to give•op the estate when he hod received payment of 800/. the amount of his judgments. In the transfer to Mt. Reed, that Gentleman agreed to indemnify ROOke for any action that might be brought ;against him by Charlton, for not surreal dteing the estate. In the year 1800 it appears that the relatives of CherhOo, by a proceeding in the Court of Chan cery, called on the present Defendant to state whe ther the debts were satisfied, and he them made answer that they were not paid. The Chancellor, therefore, directed that Mr. Reed should not now plead that the debts were yet unsatisfied, for then he might nonsuit the Plaintiff without meeting the question at issue, And also, that he should not plead the debts were satisfied twenty years ago, for that would be an answer to. this action. From all the circumstances of the case, the Plaintiff contended, that no absolote release of the estate had ever taken place, and in confirmation of this produced the titl e deeds, which had still re mained in possession of the family. On the part of the Defendant it was argued. that the length of possession from 1752 was sufficient to presume a grant, and if seventy years' possession was not deemed security, there could be little certainty of property in this country. To strengthen this argu ment it was urged, that the fact of the Charlton family never having interfered for so great • length of time, proved their consciousness that a convey anCe had been made to Mr. Reed. Ivt conclusion it was insisted, that the circumstance of the title deeds setting forth the right to more estates than the one in question, sufficiently accounted for the Defendant not having them to produce. The Jury found • verdict for the Plaintiff— Damages 11.—costs 40s. MAST 17. ATTON, PARDIR, AND CO. Mr. TYNDALL opened this Case, and Mr. SCAR- Lyra. followed. This actio n , h e observed, was brought by Mr. Francis Ewart, • corn-merchant in this town, to recover the sum of 5,9771. 9.. ad. re sulting from various transactions with the Defend ants, Messrs. Ayton, Parker, and Saunderr. who were corn-factors, carrying on business also in this town. They commenced doing business with each other in 1816, and continued for three years and a half. At the expiration of that period two of the partners, Messrs. Ayton and Saunders, failed, and Mr. Ewart then having a claim upon them, made application to the truatees under the bank ruptcy to examine their books. The sum claimed by Mr. Etyma previously was considerably less than after the examination of the account., when he conceived himself entitled to 5,977/. 9s. Bd. This amount was made up, first, by deficiencies in spusu tity in the account the Defendants returned of the sales of corn belonging to the Plaintiff; and, re condly, in the prices being returned less than were actually obtained, together with overcharges for granary rent and commision. From the evidence of the only witness examined, Joseph Reed •Wilson, it appeared, foreign coon in creases in admearurement when it has remained some time in the granary ; and that the Defendants had appropriated the surplus, that is, the quantity which remained more when sold than when first consigned to their own accounts. It was also stated in evidence, that they had returned smaller prices than were Übtained. On cross-examination, however, the witness said, there were instances of corn having bees returned in the account of sales at more than it actually sold for, and that the charges for commission and granary were, in his opinion, capable of explanation. Mr. Justice BAYLLY rime than once suggested the propriety of referring the case to the arbitration of some Gentlemen at the bar, alleging, that from the nature of the cause, involved us it was iii so many complicated uccouutp, neither he nor the Jury could dorm:pie justice to both parties. Mr. BROUGHAM, on lice part of the Defendant,. after 'much hesitation, acceded to his Lordship's proposal, observing; filet after the aspersions thrown out against Mr. Parker, that Gentleman felt anxious that u complete investigation should take place, in justice to his own character. Mr. Justice BAYLay said, he wished it to be dis tinctly understood, that Mr. Parker (who is the real Defendant in this cast) went out of Court without any imputation on Isis character, as he thought his desire to 'proceed rather a circumstance in his favour. Mr. SCARLET? consenting to this srrangement, • ■ominal verdict of 5,9771. 9s. stf, was taken fur the Plaintiff, to be referred to three Gentlemen at the bar. About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening last, a Gen. tlsman of the name of Maunder was proceeding slung the Mils End.ruail, to kis residence in Mile End.te►rsce, when he was attacked by four ruffians, one of whom struck him a most violent blow out the chest, which batched him dowo; they were proceeding to ride his pockets, and Mr. Oleander, in end ring to prevent these, put his halide across them, when one of this wretches immediately severed the forefinger from the right ►and with a large clasp knife, and ou bearing some persons approach they made off. Mr. Maunder has been confined to his bed ever since, sad we regret to state spat his 14 is ceasidered in imaginer danger. - • .

MONMOUTH ASSIZES. MOSELIT V. DA IL{. This was an issue from the Court of Exchequer to try the existence of two moduses in the parish of Lauthewy Rythech, in the county of Monmouth, of which the Defendant is the Vicar. The mo doses alleged were ed. a day's math or acre, in lieu of the tithe of hay, and 4d. a cover iu lieu of the tithe of clover, the cover containing two-thirds of an sere. On the hearing in the Court above, an objection. had been tsketi to the principle of the mains, so fur as it respeeied clover, on the ground that, being an article of modern introduction, a substantive modus could not prevail for clover. Upon argument, however, and on tliv authority of the case of Stokes e. Morgan, reported in Wood's Tithe Cases, and Bertie and Beaumont, in 2d Price, as well as the generally reeeived opinion of the indigenous nature of clover, the Chief Baron overruled the objection, and thus established the principle. He offered, nevertheless, to the Vicar, accurdiag to the usual practice in such ca.es, an issue upon the fact, which wow accepted.—Verdict for the Plaintiff. NAVAL INTELLIGANCE.
