CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE. IN THE HATTER OF ANTHONY J. DEANE. ESQ.. A MINDS, AND A WIND OF CHANCERY. When this case C3lllO before the Court in the shape of it motion, for the commitment of Mr. stud Mrs. Stables to the custody of the Wardell of the Fleet Prison, fora contempt of Court, in con. niving at the elopement of their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Stab les, a young Inds only 17 years of age, to Gretna Greets, with the ward of Court, who is not 19 years of age, we reported the circun,• steuces. osl Out occasion, it will be recollected, the Lord Chancellor directed the cure to stand over, for the purpose of giving Mrs. Deane, the mother of the ward, an opportunity of presenting a petition._ Mr. WETHERELL this day stated, that the peti tion had been tiled, according to his I,iirdship's stiggeption. It prayed, that it might be referred to the Master, to inquire into and report the circora stances of the marriage of the ward of Court with Miss Stables, at Gretna Green, nod for au injunc tion to restrain them from being again married in this country, The petition charged, that Mr. and Milia. k .S(abltes, the parents of the young Lady, con nived at the =image. It would not be necessary for hint to state over again thn affidavits on which the original motion was grounded, as they must be in the recollection of the Court. Ilia Lordship, he was convinced, did not forget the scene that took place at the {mese of Nlr. Stables, in Ha nover-street, Hanover-rquitre. on the night of the 14th of December, when the elopement look place, The drowsiness of Mr. Stables, the father, that caused him to go to bed at an early brim., and leave the ward and hie faintly sitting ap ; his two s ons being afterwards visited with the same disease, and gt,itig to bed, leaving the ward over a glass of wine and water in the drawing-room shine with th e young lady and her mother ; Miss Stables going to aliew the ward down stairs, anti stepping out of the back door with him into a chaise and four, and driving off to North Britain to be married. Ile would take the liberty of asking why the younger Mes•rs. Stables should retire to bed, leaving their young friend, the ward, drinking wine and water ? Was it merely by accident that they went so prematurely to rest, or was it that they should not see their sister elope with their now brother-in-law ? It was a want of politeness, a want of courtesy in them, to leave their guest drinking wine and water alone with their sister and mother. The father might he exensed fur this breach of good manners, from old age or.indisposi ti ... but where was the apology for the sons ? They were told by the affidavit of Mrs. Stables, that in three ... i . lutesafter her dunghter had left the drawing-room with the ward, site knew of her elopement, and that she alarmed the family. On this alarm having taken place, be would have ex pected the sons would have immediately left their bed-rooms, instead of which they say its their affi davit, that it was twenty minutes afterwards be fore they had done so. The : LORD CHANCELLOR- 14 Do they say they went to bed or not ?" . Mr. 11rETHItostr., in continuation, said it did not appear, but they asserted that they came down stairs half dressed, and found that their sister had eloped three minutes before; that they ran nut into the street, hut could not see any thing of her; tlart on their return to the house they learned that the young couple had gone over Hounslow Heath. It did not appear on the face of the affidavit from whom they had this informittiosi, but he would take it for granted that the cook-maid was their infor mant, on which they obtained a post-chaise and four as soon as they could, and followed the fugi tives into Bedfordshire, where they found it was useless to follow them, as they had got so much a-head of them, by having relays of horses on the road prepared for them, on which the deponents returned to London ; and they deny that they knew of the intended elopement, or were in any way privy to it. John Stables, one of the deponents, denied that on Toesiky the 14th December he called at Mr. Rainsford's seat in the Registrar's Office, and in quired if the minor was made a waist of Court, but admitted that on the evening of the 13th of De. ember he asked the Registrar's clerk whether it ivas not necessary, in making a minor a ward of Court, that the person so to be made should appear in Court, but did not mention the name of any person he expected to be made a ward of Court, and he was ignorant that Mr. Deane was made a ward until the 16th of December, two days after the elopetueut hrd taken place. This was not denyitig the chaige iii the petition, that he was inquiring relative to a person brcoming a ward of Court, although lie did not 'motion the name of the party. The inquiry then was made, and for what purpose ? To citable the family to plan au rlopemeht, without bring guilty of ■ con tempt of Court. It was cha►ged in the petition that these active pursuers having got as far as Bar net on their pursuit, told the postboya to wait there for them until everting. when they would return to London with them. They could not have known then, that the pursuit was useless. How then could .they ►ay that they ever intended to overtake their sister ? It appeared from the affidavit of John Ballard, the pro, tem. servant of Mr. Stables, that it was he who hail the harms published at St. Pdo4'lllll Church. By the affidavit of Mr. and Mrs. Stables, it oould appear that they prohibited the banns; but that was contradicted by the affidavit of the Rev. Mr. Moore, the Vicar of the parish of St. Pancras, who swears that when he informed Mrs. Stables that after the banns were published three times, mud no objection made, the marriage would be legal, she was must anxious that the publishing should be continued l but be, Dr. Moore, from the conversation of Mr. and Mrs. Stables, that neither of. the young people resided in his parish, refused ag-:* to publish► them. He could not, therefore, give credit to Mrs. and Mrs. Stables when they said they admonished the ward, and told him his marriage with their daughter could not take place during his minority. The affidavit of John Ballard set forth, that he had lived as servant with Mr. Stables fur malty years, and wily left his service in May last, for the purpose of entering into some business for himself, and having met with smite misfortunes, he was obliged to go 'to France. in Septembei last hi met Alte.Staplet at Boulogne, and lie advanced him tot. on a bill on his he .tier, which enabled him to settle with Ilia creditors. Oa his a•rival m Looduis, hiving wo abode. and not being able to get a set. trier, Mr. Stables allowed him to reside in hit house. fie was there only on sidieranCe, not so a servant, his pit uatinii of footman, ,bring tilled by another person. 'flat the ward told him that Isis mother wall averse to his marriage with Miss Stables, and that Nlr. Stables would not rotisent to it until he was of age, For which reasons lie wag determined to marry her clandestinely, and asked . the Defendant.to get t h e hallos pitlnts!ted. which he did at St. Pimento church, and when they were stopped by Mr. and Mrs. Stables, lie procored the chaise and four, with relays of horses to Gretna Green fur him, and accompanied them on the matrituoinal trip. That when Miss Stables left her father's house she had neither bonnet, do ik, or spencer on—that they were !harried at Gretna Green on the 16th December, and on the same day returned to Carlisle ; he was directed by the ward to go to Newcastle-upon-Tytte, but in mistake he went to Newcastle-under-Lyre, and being short of money returned to London, and went to the house of Mr. Stables, in Hanover-street, where lie was refused admittance. lie was now living as servant, wills the ward. its Great ;Maddox street. This affidavit also diselottei two curious circumstances ; it appeared that the clergyman. or the person who performed the estremotty of marriage, at Gretna Given, was not satisfied with the usual stipend paid on such iteedminii4, hut de manded 100/. for his services. The ward was not famished with that sum, having only 44., winch he paid the officiating minister, in bank slates, and gave him his promissory note 1 . 01 601., but it It.p petied to be on an improper stamp. The minister, or blacksmith, as lie was commonly celled, wish. ing to be better secured in Isis payment for his labour, followed the new married couple to Car lisle, and had his denthoil settled. It annul sp. pear singular that the ward not having the no.atts of satisfying the • knight of the anvil at (item' Green, should be able to do it at Carlisle ; but it was easily explained, for who dots he meet at Carlisle but a Mr. Stables. another son of Mr. Stables, the father of the young lady. Ile was aware that he was to be told that this Mr. Sta.' bins resided at Newcastlestipon-Tyne, but it w a s siugular that this marriage, which was not knovria its London, should have travelled to Newces: pon- Tyne so as to have brought Mr. Stables to Carlisle. There was much suspicion attached to the circuits stance, without it could be explained away, which it might he, if it could be proved that the ward wrote to him from Carlisle, to meet him there ou his return trout Gretna Green ; and his doing so, and assisting. him with pecuniary means after his marriage, would certainly not be a contempt of Court. They were told when John Ballard was . 011 sufferance at Mr. Stables', that that gentle mall kept a footman. They were not told where that footman was on the night of the elopement— was he asleep too—was lie affected by this malady of drowsiness—was he to be told that the footman was troubled with the same sympathy o( sleep as his masters ? •; • The LORD CHINCELLOR—w fin the former hearing it was thrown out from -tins place, that it would be necessary fur the Coon to be iuformed how these young people got out of the house." Mr. SIIADWELL, junior Camille! for Mr. end Mrs. Stables, said it was the wish alio chests to give every itiformatioss on the onloject, and they would immediately tile an affidavit, giving the Court that information. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I have not any thing to do with the coothict of the parties, further than as a contempt of Court. The question in an other shape, if it comes to be d;scussed, may he of most serious consequencea to them ; that I have nothing to do with. In cases of female wards of the Court bring clandestinely married, my prede cessors were in the habit of sending it to the Mas ter to inquire and report if the marriage was valid or not. I certainly will not allow a legal marriage to be celebrated in this case mad I have received such a report from the Master. I do not recollect a similar case to this ever coming before the Court, of a male ward being kidnapped into such a mar nage. %'hen I make use of that expression, I do nut apply it particularly to any of the parties in this case. As to John Ballard, there is no doubt, from his own affidavit, but he has been guilty of a con tempt of Court." Mr. WRTNERRLL, in continuation, said, that in the affidavit of the cook-maid, she admi ted that she opened the back door for the ward and her young mistress on the night of their elopement. Then, he would again a•k, where was the footmen . that he did not open the door—how was it that lie was excused from performing his duty—how was it that he was absent and tint in the house to run after the fugitives after the fame of the alarm was giveu by Mrs. Stables? This was not accounted for, and he must suppose that the footman was too homiest a man in he tampered with. and he was sent out of the way on purpose, as he would not lend himself to an improper purpose. They were told that John Ballard. sates Its return to town from the North, would, not be received I into the house of Mr. Stabler. Who would sup pose that he would ? It was just as it ought to he ; he received Isis payment for lending himself to this transition, before it took place, by the pre teoded lona of ten pounds. When Alm Sta bles swears that ►he was nut anxious for the marriage, could any person give her credit, when lie compered it with the evidence of the Rev. Mr. Moore, that she was most anxious fur the basins to be published. until she was told the marriage would he illegal ; and also that of the Ray. Mr. Tolley, who says, that Mrs. Stables told him, if the ward did not marry her daughter she had some spirited relations that would call him to an account. His Learned Friend. Mr. Heald, was pleased to make merry with the affidavit of Dr. Tolley, when he stated the reason why the another of the wind suspected that lie had come rip to London to get married, instead of going a shooting, was, that he, had token with loin a bridal cart; it appeared that this coat was a black one, certainly net• adapted for a wedding, but what the Reverends Gentleman meant by a bridal coat was one worn going oat to dinner or to ass evening party ' , not such as were worn in the morning. It was well known that the Doodles of the present day would • not wear a dress-coat on * shooting party. Mr. 11-Isitt,n, senior Counsel for Mr. and Mr.,. Stables, here interrupted Mr. Wetherell, no which some consersitims took place between the Learned litiitleinro, which roiled by Mr. Heald stating that be would not again intermit!. Ins Lriiroril Fr coil in the courte of his opening; all he omit to have t i aid was, that the ease n wild wit be bail so amus ing if he had not departed The LORD CHANCIRILLOR " I drone you will not ; anal , ,jr, Wetherell. )ma will °lasers.. tia• same title when Mr. [lentil is atfdres.inx the Coo t. This king' of bickering between Como." bar iii r•rsased rn latter days to a lrou.rxt.nt. It is full tune it ought to be wit on end to, for it is neither decent nor useful." _ _ Mr. WETHEttELL, iu uutiun ttion, timid, that Nlra. Stables did nut deny but that she did bold out something in the nature of a challenge to Dr. Tolley, for she admitted that the language made use of by that Gentleman' was of such a dercrip. tiou that caused her to speak with warmth. IVhat then was the language which exasperated her ? Dr. Tolley did not tell her that the mother of the ward would ',seen consent to the marriage; hr only requested that Phe would lint ettrusirtage It sittrettg the minority of the ward, and this hurt her fee hugs so much, that 'he held out a threat of a challenge, if lier daughter was disappointed its this alliance.— , Did not this shew plainly what was the conduct of this Lady throughout the whole liss•issess ? The Learned Counsel then entered into the bloomy of the courtship, which is already before tlee and olnerreit, that his Lordship inked, when this case was lint before him, why Mrs. Deane was'ent issfurmed of the hanus of marriage haring been published twice at St. Pancras church ? • The LORD CRANCIII.I.OII.—" Toe question I naked was, whether Mrs. Deane was informed, and by whom, that the Nimes were twice published ?" Mr. WETHILIUILP Said, it laid out been thought proper to gm his Lordship that inforni Mrs. Stables indeed pre as • reason why she did not inform Mrs. Deane of the attlichnieut of the young people when it first came to her knowledge was, that the weed requested her not, as he said he would cummenicata it Ismael to his mother. This might be an excuse fur her nut doing it for a little time, but it was sto apology for her keeping it a 'secret from the mother of the ward, almost up to Otefieriod of the elopement. The Lou Cm•scsmoa—" I mew now rise (it being four o'clock). Go on with this case agaiii, Mr. %Wetherell, tee-morrow morniug." SERJEANT'S INN HALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21. DOE, ON THE DENISE OF WRIGHT, R. PLUMPTILER. This was an action tried at the Somerset Assizes, for the recovery of some property, alleged in the declaration to belong, by right of testament, to the Plaintiff. The property had been bequeathed to a Mrs. hlolyneux ; half of it was to be at her owu disposed, the other half was to go to toe nearest of kin, who might happen to bear the name of the testator, Brewer. Mrs. Mulynrux being igno rant of the existence of any such claimant, be queathed the whole to the Defendant, who stood in the nearest relationship to herself. After some time the conditions of the will came to the know. ledge of Mrs. ‘Vright, whose innistra name mid relit tionship were exactly those bt ipu I ftteti by the will. An action was brought, and a vraet protseerscrd against the claim. Thy present tion was for setting aside that verdict, and the question on which the motion depends is, whether Mr*. Wright, admitting her to he of the stock of the Bittern., could be considered one of that mime after her mar riage with Mr. Wright ; or, in oilier terms, whether a Lady giving up her own name, and tag. log that of her husband, dors it Ginn legal necessi. ty, by which she forfeits her first denomination. or from courtesy, which secures her the possrsaMit of it, though she may ever after neglect to use it. The .arguments pro and con were very minute and learned. The Judges complimented the Counsel upan the tccasiosa, but put off the decision until • future dry. A letter from Brighton, dated Jan. 19, .says— " The Marquis and Marchioness of Cholnionsteli y, the Marquis and Ilarchioness of Conynghain, the Earl and Countess of Warwick, and a select click of Nobility, lied the honour of d g with the Prince Regent yesterday.
