LAW II EPORT. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL, D. 14. %WESTERN V. TI-10:MPSON. This was an action to recover compensation for -a malicious . prosecution instituted by defendant against plaintiff, and. the damages. were laid at 50001.' Mr. Serjeant BEST, Mr, Serjeant VAJzonAN, and Mr. AhnEy;appeared for the plaintiff. The.eircaurstances of the case were as follow In the early part ,of :the: -year :I 810; the plaintiff, wllo is a young: woman'of -creditais*Connections, resided with her sister in Old-street„Spital-fieldS., On Palm Sunday, while at St. Paul's Church she win. accosted by the defendant, Who professed' himself to he; admirer'. Sonic conversation. took place, which ended in an invitation to defen - rTant to call upon her at,,her sister's. 'This he pro- Mised,to- do, and actually did afterwards..visit her. as a suitor for_ her hand: It was then understood . that he was a Goldsmith and Jeweller by trade, and carried on,hnsiness both in Birmingham and 4ondon.. T-he courtship continued - from their first 'intimacy, down:to the .9th of August,..lBlo, on. which day a marriage was .soleninised between defendant a.lO plaintiff, in St. Bride's Church ; the banns having been previously / published at defen dant's own express ,desire. After : the :ceremony - bad been performed, the parties proceeded to the house of the sister of the plaintiff, where-they lived as Alta anti Wife for some short tinre ; they then went on a visit to the mother. of the . plaintiff, who,lived-at Portsea, and plaintiff introduced-the defendant as her husband, and sheaved, at the same time, the regular certificate of her marriage.' Underthese eireumAances, defendant was receiv ed by the old lady with great satisfaction, and was' by her presented to her sons and other - relatives ' and' friends, who also recognised him as - one of the family. Some 'time subsequently 'defendant became less affectionate in his attention'to his „wile, and hir finding her pregnant; he for a short while deserted her he sOon, however, returned, and treated 'her with- rene‘t'ed kindness. About this time a report had reached the ears. of Plaintiff's mother, that the defeddant 'hail a' Wife 4iviug• at the time be married her daughter i'alarnted at this intelligence, she questioned him upon the Subject, and,he eonfessed-that such _indeed was the-case; apologising, at the same time, for the deceit he had practised upon her family—observing, ere r, that-his first Wife was a. very infitm woman, and not, " likely to live loin;; and faithfully pro; mising, when she died, that be would again marry' plaintiff. Upon this promise plaintiff Was, Of- Conyse, constrained to rely. At the -..;pproath of het: • accouchement, however, defendant totally abandon-' ed her. ,His first wife having died soon after- , wards, application was made to him to fulfil his - promise •by again marrying however, be made answer, that he was- then a sin't gle man; andbe was resolvdd to preserveltisliberty: Exasperated at this unmanly -'Cotidact, sorite threats were rtimonre.d of an intention to pro S e .- cute: hiM -for bigamy by the fanrify of plaintiff, 'to evade which - he determined to Commence the 'pro- -- secution which was the: subject of the present action. His plan - Was soon forthed, and; with out delay, be prefe,i'red a Bill of Indictment against plaintiff and het Sister; charging them with'having- entered into a' conspiracy to prove; , Contrary to fact, that he bad married plaintiff; urging, also, • that -in pur . stiane of thiS plan, a • , p.orson had been *procured to 'marry .Plaintiff, in his'"-mitnee; at St, ' Bride's Chinch; in 'order . that the evidence :of the marriage' register might . not appe - ar against 'him .so as. to .-;fol-ee_ hint to maintain plaintiff: Upon- this eharge'plaintiff and her sister fool: - their trials at the ,Old Bailey in Fe bruary last,: and in support' of the prosecutor's ca-.c a servant.

At dawn of day the trosups comMenced embarking, under cover of ,a commandingvbattery, mounting- two 18 pounders and two sixes.. The boats were somewhat em barrased with the eddies, and by a - brisk cannon ading from three . battterieS ; but Colonel Rensselaer, with 100 men,- soon effeeted his land ing amidst a: tremendous fire directed upon him from every point, A- few minutes after landing the :Colonel received ,four - severe wounds, Col.

Met and routed by the rifle and -bayonet : by this time I perceived •my troops were embarking slowly. , •" Lieutenant-Colonel Feriwick'S flying artil lery, and a detachment of regular troops- under his command, Were ordered to be up in season for Fort - Niagara. Orders were also sent to General Smyth to send dovin from Buflaloe such detach- Meats of his brigade as _existing circumstances in : that vicinity might warrant . ... The attack was to have been Made at four o'clock in. the_ morning of the flth, by, crossing over in boats from the Old Tully opposite the heights. To-avoid any embar rassment in Crossing the river, (which -is . here a - - sheet of violent eddies) experienced boatmen were • procured, to take the boats from the landing below to the place of embarkation. Lieut. Simms was , considered the man of greatest - skill for this service. He went a-head, and in the extreme dark ness 'passed the intended place far . up . the river, and there, id a most extraordinary- Manner, fas tened his boat to the shore,. and abandoned- the - detachment. In. this frOut boat he - hod carried nearly every oar, which was prepared for al/ the boats.

The approach of daytlight extinguished - every prospect of success, and the -detachment returned to camp. Colonel Rensselaer was to have commanded the detachment.,., " 1-passed immediately over to accelerate their movements ; but to my utter astonishructit, found that, at the very-moment when complete victory was in our hands,,..oeardour of - the - Linea gaged troops. bad entirely absided.

This was 'a proceeding at the instance of - I`Jr. James Sutton Cooke; of the parish of 'St. 'Sepul chre, -London, for a sentence of the Court,. decla ratory af the invalidity of his marriage with ,a Miss Jane Browning, of Basting-ley, - in Kent, 'on the ground ()Ibis Minority at the time, and - a' want. of legal consent. - It- appeared that. Mr. Cooke. was born in the month of April, 1780, and that the marriage took• place by license,' in the-month of September; 1799; when be was little more than' 19 years of 'age; 'that his father, (who was - then living) . was utter•- ly ignorant of it; till aft:er it had taken place,- and then expressed his displeasure in- the strangest terms, consoling . , himself at the same time with the reflection, that the absence df his consent rendered the marriage a mere nullity, and that he continu ed in these sentiments, and the Communication of them to his relatives and friends to the time of his death. • - These circuinstances were detai!ed in the evi dence of several relatives and acquaintances of the parties, supported by the production 'ot an entry . of the minor's birth, made-at the time, in a family bible, the Certificates of his baptism aramarriage, and- the original documents, authorising the grant of the license, in which he Was likewise described-. As•being above the age- of- twenty-one. It was likewise stated, that he is•now-a prisoner _upon a charge of bigamy, founded Upon the' fact- of his haring contracted a second marriage, subsequent to the one in question ; :and that he was more par ticularly .desirons of , ohtaining the sentence of the • Court, as it would avail him. so - materially in his defence. • The defendant's Counsel admitted the 3111 it-len cy of the evidence arldneed to prove the filets of the minority; marriage, and non-consent ; but relied upon it likewise to sustain his objection, that-there *as a failure-of yroofas to the plaintiff's' ldentity. • Sir- JOHN Nlctiam. ohterved, that the peculiar situation of the plaintiff; though perhaps , not so distinctly apparent from' the evidence as to come within the judicial cognizance.of- the Court, was nevertheless sufficient to induceit to n>gard the present proceeding with a _very - jealous eye. -I - collusiqn Nwas to be suspected in any ease, it was surely in one like this ;• the .common -dictates or humanity Were, in all'probability, suEcient to* induce the lady, against wbem tbe presentprOeeed in g - was 'directed, to 'lend' herself towards. facilitat ing -its succeSs4 great and.painful -as the sacrifice might be-to herself. -The, •Court must; therefore; come to the Consideration of the circumstances . of the case; and. must be. • impressed with the necessity of a'rigisl.scotiny ; and ,regard-the pro- • ceediug astbesilg principally-of 'an es parte nature lietben ricaspititlated the• facts' detailed.- in evi-' dence,4uld was:of opinion that . 4be - proof was un usually strong. in support of their, that there was. - no foundation: for the abjection to the . . proof of identity : therefore sined' the Sentence de elaratory:oF ~t he nullity ,olthe . niarriage.- • FROA.
