I ia a . +!, . b: This pas the case for the Plaintiff. Defendkt. He had, so far as this was concerned, acted hotmarable, liberally, and fairly. Sonic time after this deed had been executed, however, his vi sits become low frequent, and ultimately, in' answer to the Plaintiff's just remonstrances, he declared that it was not his Intention to carry into effect the •isireements which lie had deliberately entered into. In consequence of this conduct, which was altoge thee inexplicable, the Plaintiff was obliged to resort to the present mode of seeking thin redress In which she felt herself entitled, and he had no doubt else verdict of the Jury would afford her that corn pretesting which her wrongs fairly demanded. He was satisfied that no answer could be given to this ere, mod that the Defendant could only rely on the degree of ridicule to which the Plaintiff might he exposed. The Jury, however, would judge how far a man who had been guilty of a gross violation Pfau honourable contract, could extenuate his con dint, by instructing his Counsel to pursue so cruel a course. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call the following witnesses : Mrs. Sarah Pratt, the sire of Mr. W. Pratt, living at Lower Clapton, was accustomed to let part of her house. In June 1821, the Plaintiff and Defendant came to her house. They came for the ',appose of looking at some lodgings. The Plain tiff was 45 years of age ; the Defendant was as much as 15.., years older. While they were look ing at her lodgings, witness heard some con lion pass between themselves. The Defendant very winch approved of the lodgings ; the Plain tiff objected to the smallness of the middle room. The Defendant, said, " %Vila' that room dors not hold' we can put, in the next." It ended in the Plaintiff coming to live in the lodg ings. She came the 18th of June : the Defendant came to visit her every Sunday for a length of time. Until October their visits continued ; but on the 18th of that month the Defendant's visits ceased altogether. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant VAvomAll.— Heard the Plaintiff admit that she was forty-five. The Plaintiff had been lodging with witness ever since. Knew very little more of item than taking these lodgings. The rent paid was seventeen Pounds a yea►. Never heard from the Plaintiff that 'the Defendant was a journeyman carpenter. Heard her pay he wes somOthing in the carpentering and building tine. Never heavd he was paralytic, and had hen the use of his right arm : could not say he • had lost the use of his arm, or that he could not • now work. The Plaintiff hail no children. In re-examination witness said she had heard the Plaintiff say the Defendant's property was very good. Mr. T. Williams, clerk to the Plaintiff's nun nits, produced r deed of settlement to which he was a subscribing witness. The parties to the deed were the Plaintiff - and Defendant. Previous to this time the Plaintiff heed in Church-row in a respectable situation in life. in crass-examine►ion witness said he had never seen •Mr. Reynolds before or since the settlement • 'had been signed. Did not know by whom the in 'structintis were given for the deed. The settlement was then put in and read. It re. cited an intended marriage between the Plaintiff and Defendstit, and the 'Defendant settled the whole of the Plaintiff's property, including twenty-six houses left to her by her husband, to her own sole Use. Mr. George Armin knew the Plaintiff for thirteen 'or fourteen years. Alan knew ihe Defendant for nine or ten year,. The Plaintifi•'s husband died Fix or seven years since. Remembered the month of November last tear; on the 18:h of the month he was at the I'laiitrfl•'s, and on that evening the De fendant declined to marry her. The Defendant came, and asked the Plaintiff if she had taken ter? and she said, Yes. She then said, she wondered I e had been so long absent ; he had been a guest stranger. and had behaved very strangely to her of late. He said, in answer. that he could not help it. She then said bile wished he would tell her whether lie had altered his intention towards her or not ; it appeared to her as if he had. He replied, he had altered his mind for the present, and that very likely he should not call and see her any more. She then said she had been at a great expense, and had bought some carpets amid other things to furnish the house. .He said he knew she had ; and she lidded he had agreed to pry for the carpets. He rejoined that she could not he put to soy great expense, and that *he might give the lodging up at Christmas. The Plaintiff mentioned to him that lie had agreed to a marriage settlement. To this he answered he did net think he hail o right to pay any thing toward. it. The Defendant was a house carpenter. Never heard him say how he lived now. Croas.exa ttt i t led by Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN— Did not know that Defendant had lost the use of his right arm. He could exercise both his hands in eating his victuals. Would not say he could use both halide equally well. The Plaintiff owes wit ness at present about 801. Part of the debt was contracted in her late husband's time. Did not know what property she had. What debts she had contracted, besides what she owed him, he did. nut know. Mr. Serjeant V•UGFIAN, with whom were Mr. Serjeatit HULLOCK Awl Nlr. PLATT, immediately proceeded to addreos the Jury fur the Defendant. He expreined hi unfeigned astonishment at the manner in which this; case had been introduced mud supported. Of all the actions fur breaches of pro mises of marriages which he had ever ottnesord in Weidminster Hall, he had never witnessed one similar to the iiieseni. What was alleged on the face of the record? That which he instated had not been proved. The Jury, he iubmittrd, in this action, must he satisfied, in the first instance, that there had been a direct promise to marry, and then they must be perfectly satisfied that there was a direct breach of that promise to mar ry ; net that the gentleman was in spirits to-day and out of spirits to-morrow, bat a clear re. iluuriatiosi and refusal to perform his engage mem. Hod any such evidence been given ? He dented that there had, for, from any thing winch •load appeared, the Defendant might atilt be inclin ed to take this lady as his wedded wife. But ever suppoaing that there had been a breach of promise, in what light did the ease present itself ? His Learned Friend (Mr. Serjeant Pell) had. with a gravity which it Ito doubt required all his muscular de led their viewing this But was it possible In look at it with any other feeling ? What were th. facts ? Here was a woman admitted to he five ■nd.forty, but really fifty yeari of age land he did not mean to say that a lady of fifty might not choose a hushatid if she could get one to her mind), seek. jog reparation for the loss of the love and assiduities of a journeyman carpenter, ten years older than herself, with a prralvtic tight arm, and, for what be knew, wofully afflicted in other respects. Mr. Serjearit PILL denied that there was any proof of Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, in continuation, said, they might nut have had 'urgingl evidence of the state of this unhappy Gentleman's infirmities, but it was clear he was nut 113 the prime of life, snit of the Jury only looked at Ins signature to the settlement which hid been produced, he thought they would agree with him in thinking that vigour of constitution was the last advantage upon %loch lie could be con gratulated. In fact it wuidil seem from 'ha', that lie wa■ actually tottering nut the verge of the grave. Then there was no proof that this man was possessed of any property, or that the Plaintiff had lost any thing by hie supposed perfidy. It was na tural, however, to look for some cause for the De fendant's conduct, end he thought the evidence of Mr. Arnott had pretty well solved any difficulty they might have on this point. 'fifty had from that even that Nits Matthews was indebted to loin no lees a sum than 80/. but whether she was indebted to anyou her person or not, he could not say. Now !lOW 06 might have operated on the mind of Mr. Reynolds it was difficult to say, but he did 110 i think it at all singular that a gentleman, placed as he was, might feel every intimation fur the prison of the lady, but at the same time have no inclination to many her debts ; end from the nature of her settlement, it was dear that her own properly was firmly se cured to herself. Upon the whole, if the Jury were of opinion that there had been a promise proven, roil that the breach of that promise on the pert of the Defendant hail hero established, he considered that the smallest damaged would meet the justice of the ease. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up the facts of the Case to the Jury, said, be was clearly of opi nion that the charge iii the declaration had b•en supported. It was fur the Jury, under these ch. cuinstaiicre, to give such rfinseges as the case seemed fairly to watr.ot. The conduct of the Defendant had not been marked by ally acts of aggravation; and, indeed, it was a question, she. tiler the Plaintiff had tint rather reams,' fur congra tulation than regret, that she had, with her pro. 'wily, escaped ■ COLIIIeZIOII with a man who did not posers. an y. The Ju►y after a short consideration found a ver• dict fur the Plaintiff—damages 501. curls 40s.

The Mart Committ►e to whom the Report of the 18th day or June, 1881, together with the several Petitions which have been presented to the House in the last and present Sessions of Parliament, complaioing of the depressed State of Agriculture of the United Kingdom, were referred, to inquire into the Allegations thereof. mkt to report their Oh tiuus thereupon, trop time to time to the House: Proceed to lay before the House the evidence which they hate taken upon the subject of storing foreign grain la ware hott•es under the King's lock; with regard to which, great apprehensions are expressed by several of Ile Petitioners, who roucelve 'list woe quantities of that grain have been, ■nd that much larger quautities may be PIP repotium.ly taken out, and brought tutu She supply of the hums market, tuotfary to law. Some particular cases having been stated, in which fruit's of this description were alleged to have been practised, your Committee applied their IM nedisie attention to she cuss,,. deratiou of them ; and she result of this investigation leads them to believe, that, generally speaking, the precautions and checks which are oewerved and apolie,l, under the Act Ist and 2d of his present Majesty, e. 87, to the warehousing uf foreign grain, are so effectual, mad so regularly eufoiced, as to re. move all suspicion a, . to she market having been at all affect ed by a fraudulent .upply 'bowled by any such timbre prat. tiers: but the instance which Yawned at Bridlingtua, de tailed iu the Appendix (Nu.

ATTACK OF AN IDIOT ON HIS KEEPER. _ On Saturd•i Thomas Notate Prior, a miserable looking creature, about 16 ye a rs of age, war charged with b.vi.•g desperately wounded Elisabeth Martin. Anne Shelton stated, that for the last fortnight she akin with Elisab. th Marina in a room occupied h) the lathe, in the house No. 10, Cork lane, Smithfield; the Po isioier slept in soothe► bed in the same room; at 11 o'clock on Flidsy night they .11 went to bed; between one and tan the witness was awoke by Elias , both Martin's crying owl, "Trim, what are you are you doing?" There was a lamp in the room, and shoes' saw t►e Prisoner standing by the sear a the bed, which was lying on the fl.mr, ■nil holding Elisabeth Martin'. arm-mihe saw so knife i■ his hand, but was certain be swam no good, and instantly ran (loon stairs, opened the street door mid cried out murder, and called the watch. A wmehmatt soon came; witness told him if he did not go up stairs itotordi •tely murder would be committed: he refu,erl, till he got another watchman to go aith hilts. W,t , s.ss thee wean up stairs with them; on entering the room she saw the Prisoner slandior over Martin's bed with a knife in his hand; the Pri. super did not speak; the watchman took the knife trona him Elis.beth Martin and the bed were covered with blood—she said to the Prisoner. " For sike, Tom, have mercy oil me--1 know lam mwrdeied , and will die soon!' Several persons soon came into the room : the Prisoner was taken to the wistehliouse, and Elisabeth Mai tin to the bo•pnal. Thomas Qninlas, the watchman who miswered the cel of the brat wetness, corroborated her statement of the tart• after be was e•ll.d. On going tutu the room where the Pri soner was, the outliers cried out to him, " You villain, put down the knife; hut the Prisoner look no notice of it. Wit nen then struck him several times on the arm, boo hesitill held the knife, which the witness at length caught bold of and rescued from him. B.ch , lor, the mimed watchmen, stated that whoa the knife was taken from the Prisoner, he (the woolen) West for a sereetio. He afterwards went to the watch-Maw, where be asked the Prisoner what he had killed the grease for ; he said, " The Drell told ate." Robert Clayton, the landlord of the house in which Marlin and the Prisoner fudged, staled that about six months ego hr let the room they uccepod to the Pi igOlifell somber, who was in servile. She employed Minim to take care of the Prisoner. Wiineas had hut little opportunity of &Nerves% the Prisoner's conduct, but considered bins foolish, and on &wood he hid lucid intersati, and sometimes worked. The Prisoner litely said, be had dreamed that he would certainly die on the 21st of the present month, and was doge it would come to pass. Witness lived 111 the boom. adjoining that in which Martin and the Prisoner lodged, and being awoke by she noise of calling the watchmen he followed them into the room, where he saw Elizabeth Marlin io such a state, that be was calcite at the time she must soon bleed to &sib. The. e was a cot on the bat k of her seek, into which be could thrust his hand Mire were also sem re cuts on her arm, them, and oilier parts of her person. When she saw the wituess, she said to him, " My dear Mr. Clayton, why did yon not come isomer? BOOS die." Mr. Asseabory, a surgeon, and I other persons came into the room goon after. Eliza. beth Martin was taken 10 the hospital, and the ;simmer to the wambhouse. Wits'sa asked the Prisoner at the watch house, why he had killed Mrs. Marti• ? His cooly reply was, " Bile put a cap on my bead." The wretched Primmer stood at the bar while this evi dence was giving, apparently wholly regardless of every thing that was passing around him—his whole appearance csiressive of a state of melancholy idiotism. It was *laird that he was so very deaf as not to hear the evidence, nod the Magistrate caused him to be asked, in a manner which it was evident he did bear, why he had cut the aromas is the drea•lful matinee be had done! The question was repeat edly asked, but his answers were quite incoherint. In reply-to the several repetitions of the question, he said— " She pot a cap no my head—she left a mug and knife os the table.o.ll drauk the beer—l beard a muse at the dour, and thought they were coming up to put me to death. dreamed I died and came to life again, and that a minister told me I was the Son of God, and would have a crows of glory.

A certificate from Mr. Curtis, the house-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital was read, which staled, " That Elizabeth Martin had several severe wounds ois differest ports of her burly, particularly one on the bark of her seek ; sod that she must be cousidered is a very dangerous state. lie prison belinigiog to the unfortunate Prisoner *prated at the Othce.

(COPY.) Hr idlington, *member 8, 1821. Honourable Sirs—la obedience to the eutuniands contented in your Hollows' order to lbet port of Yarmouth, dated the let iretaat e dieeetiag nie to rake a full investigation into tio irregularity of kering the accounts of cure Irani/wised at this port, T report, that after Making !My inquiry in my power, inspecting all the wgrehusses, and examining the oils dooPolKees at ibis port, Ole eltaininntiunt ofirbdtn are here with transmitted, she Atilt appears so be, That Mr. B. S. Saw. deo, the importer and proprietor, has heels guilty of taking the whist himself from the warehouses, and it Is more Ibis phrba. hie the wheat so take, has been shipped coastwise, mixed with British wbeat. Mr. B. S. S•wdes has left this place, kis pro p. rty has been seised, and 551.1 at the suit of Messrs. Todd and Co. of Hull, by the Sheriff ofthis maul, and it is stated, that lie is now in the King's Bench, or marled is London, for the purpose of avoiding other creditors. It is necessary at the same time, to report, that a facility has been afforded to the merchant to commit this extensive fraud by she negligence of the landing surveyor, in approving of warehouses nos sullicieutly secure, and also, by omitting to take 'hose means of securing the doors and windows, sad of retrial ly inspecting them, whirh in the execution of hie duty a. (coding-surveyor, devolved on him. I beg to aisle, that the wheat imported by Mr. B S. Sew. den, -as deposited is two warehouses, although flambe, ed 1,2, 3, and 4. I refer, in explanation to the enclosed plan of No. I and 2, marked, in red ink (A) situated in Qseen.ssrert; upon the dour of the room, Nu. I, opening into the street, the surveyor placed staples and a luck, there was also moth. r door in No. I, upon which staples and a luck were put on the outside, opening iota oilier warehouses is the ocespat too of the merchant, and t so remained, until rhea►rival of the Flora, oo the 9th September 1820, when a slight boarded par. Hies woe put ep, so as to separate the room, No. 2, Coos she back rooms of she warehouse, mod so form a p , lead ing between Nos. I and 2, to them. On a dour in Olio par tition, staples and a luck were also placed. There was shin • door oat of Queeu.street leading throngh the passage to the back rooms, to t►e warehonae of which the merelsat (Saw des) bad the key. It is Mentor es Oen*, that the merchaut could have access to the two rooms, Nos. 1 and 2, in the p onage made to separate them, slid by closing the dour of the passage opening into she street, be perfectly secure from interruption. It is also iseumlsent on me to observe, that the bark rooms of this warehouse joined she dwelling of the said Sawden, with windows opening into his yards ; it was therefore easy for him to remove soy quantity of wheat, without the fear of being detected to the Sri. The loss, however, in these rooms was not very considerable, although more th.o ears be accounted for by kila-rlraing, turning, and screening ; the quantity in No. I fell short 315 qrs. 2 bs., and the quantity in Nu 2 fell short 34 Ts. 5 ha. To,' warehouse, if it had been properly secured, was well adapted to the ware. housing of wheat. . It does nut appear that the yor made any report of the deficiency which occurred io these two rooms. The oilier wsrehoutie in which two rooms wire •pproprist ed In the lodfneent of foreign wheat, war situated in a sums leading out of Garrisoss•street (•ud 1 beg to refer to the en. • closed plan of 3 and 4, in explatiatioar, maker' B. in red ink), and was totally unfit for the reeeption of wheat, not only as to the losildiog itself, which was old, nrl in a dila. pidaled state, but also from its situation, being approached through • private yard belonging to the said %video, mod could not he made sufficiently secure against depredation.. In additiois to this, the surveyor placed staples and a lurk on the do,.r only of No. 3, °patting into this private yard; the two other doors were fastened only by a nail ilitough a wooden bar, and the kiln door was left unfastened; it is therefore more than probable that a portion of t►► wheat was taken away by means of the kiln-door being 141 un fastened. The whole quantity deposited in this room, row waling of the cargoes of four vessels. and anissitting to 917 quarters 6 ha., was mixed together; on the 11114 of April, 1821, 267 quarters 8 be. of this wheat was shipped to Oporto, and as the surveyor then suspected some depeedsi ions to have been committed, he, by the ad. vice of Hr. Fennings, Oleo acting coll. etor, had the re. mainder measured over, which amounted to 478 qrs. 3 bs. and was removed into No. 4, mthissi • deficiency of 171 qrs. b bs. which the surveyor states was dammed by ram and MOW beating in between the tiles. It app►ars , xtraurdinary that no memos were taken by the swiss yor to a.eertairs (al though he suspected some of the wheat hid been latest away) the quantity said to he damaged, and still mare so, that be shoold have permitted Ole removal of any, without sanction or auth y hest obtained for that purpose. 1 sot at the same lime induced to believe that the quantity taken away, whatever it might b•, ass totally spoiled, and the whole or part of it oas thrown on a muckhesp; the surveyor • hawing seen a part of it on the muckheap, Atboogh ►e did hot see the whole actualiy destru)ed. Tire room N 0.4, to the same warehouse, was separated only by a alight boarded partition fium Nu 3, sod in the partition was a door, fasiessed on the was of No. 3, with staples and a lock. In this room the req.'s of three tres• gel', anmenting to 1.039 rpm. were deposit.d, as well as the quan:ity removed out of No 3, ansithistiog to 478'.. 3 ht. making together 1,517qr5. 3 bs. ;of this To tiyum •y 877g , 5. 3 ha. were shipped, making a deficiency 640 qrs.

F.om the best inquiry I am enabled to make, there is not any conuesiou by marriage or otherwise, to loamy the stir vryur to have rumored at this depreda ; and upon the report of she collector and comootruller (the latter en old officer at this port), I state that the surveyor is a steady sober man; the us•gligrare and Inatteidion to his duty can only be accounted fur by his want of foresight, and 1.7 his bring; of a dismattion ca..oly imposed on. The oily comm. sluice that appears iu his favour is, the having slated his suspicions to Mr. Framing., late 'clime collector, mid to Mr. Steward, the present collector, to the latter who has lately been admitted to late to prevent the evil. 1 beg to state also, that blame attaches to Mr. Fensings fear •ot harnor tatted on the surveyor to stale the dr fitirrocy is the room No. 3, after he load recommeadeal .Ils befog nese. mired over, and also the suspicions of the yor, cummoos eat .1 lo bun in the month of May last, as to wheat hating haviog bent taken out of No. 4; and also that it was the duty of Mr. Fennisogs to have astredird io person to see that the warehouses were swede soffit-rosily and fully sec.'', stud •1 ell even .s to have represented tba master so your Honours.

The shipment of the wheat out of the room No. 3, for account of Mr. S,urks, of Hull, wader the anatomy of your H re order of the 31st July last, No. Sb, did not take place till the 7th August. One other cargo of wheat was imported here on the 31st • July 1820 by Mrs. Hobby and Cowden; the gentleman of the urine of Sweden iu this firm, is father to Mr. B S. Sawdeu. This cargo, consisting of 085 qrs. 2 bs. of wheat, was depo sited its two warehouses, numbered 5 and 6, out of which 480 quarters were exported on the 511 s May 1821, to ; via 320 qrs. 4 ha, from N 0.5, and Ibtkpv. 4 bs. room N0..8, leaving in N 0.5, 84 qrs. 4 be. and to N 0.6, 120 qrs.
