This was an issue directed by the Master of the Rolls to try the validity of a deed of gift, by whichl the plaintiff claimed to be entitled to a certain estate in this comity called Bowers. Mr. TAUNTON, with whom was Mr. RICHARDS, shortly detailed the following facts. The plaintiff, John Highfield, resided at a place called Mill Miest, in this county. He was formerly tenant of the estate that he now claimed, which he rented of an old gen tleman of the name of Ward. Mr. Ward was a man advanced in years, and although he had many rela- 1 tives, appeared to have taken a fancy to the plaintiff,7 whom he employed to perform all the work that was required for the management of the farm on which Mr. Ward dwelt. The intimacy produced: from the constant attendance of the plaintiff on Mr. Ward, had created such a degree of regard in the mind of Mr. Ward, that in September, 1818, with a view to provide for the plaintiff's large family, h e caused a deed of gift to be prepared, by which he conveyed the estate in question to the plaintiff. The Jury would be told, no doubt, that the deed in ques- i 'don was not. prepared by Mr. Ward's regular attor-; ney, and that that circumstance alone was sufficient to engender suspicion • but they would find that h e had applied to the professional gentleman generally employed by Mr. Ward, but in consequence of his absence from home, or some such reason, the plain tiff was unable to get the deed drawn. It was not to be supposed that a person in the plaintiff's situa tion in life would evince mutn delicay on such a subject. tie was anxious to secure for himself and a numerous' family independence, which he thought would be a sufficient excuse for his applying to artH other person. Accordingly, he went to a man of the name of Green, who practised as a conveyancer, and by him the deed was drawn, which was the sub ject of their present inquiry. The Learned Coun sel, after detailing the nature of the evidence he should produce, concluded by calling the following witnesses : William Highfield, brother to the plaintiff, said— I knew the late Joseph Ward for 40 years. My fatlipr lived at Bowers ever since Ward bought it, and my b:2ther succeeded him. Ward died in 1819. I remember, in September, 1818, _going with ,ny brother to Ward's house, at Mill-Miest : when we arrived there, we found Ward and 'William Brown together. My brother produced the deed in ques tion, saying, " I have brought the deed." Ward said, " Thee bast not put any thing in it. but Bowers." My brother said he had not. Ward then desired Brown to go and fetch Wm. Hawley, a friend of Ward's, to witness the deed. Brown re turned with Hawley. Ward then desired Hawley to look at the deed, and see if it was all right, and nothing in it but " Bowers." When Hawley read 'over the deed, and came to the words rough meadow, Ward said, " rough enough, I reckon." Ward then put his mark to the deed, and delivered it as his act and deed. Hawley and I also signed it as witnesses. The plaintiff wrote his name under :the seal, but was told there was no occasion for it. Sarah Bragley, Ward's housekeeper, was there. After it was done, Hawley said it was a good job Ward had given Bowers to Highfield, as he had a big family. I went away, leaving the deed on the table ; some beer was ordered, but I did not stay for it. Win. Brown—l live at Mill-Miest, and knew the late Joseph Ward; he was about 81 years of age when he died, and was very infirm for ten or twelve, years before. I used to sleep in the same room with him, and a nephew of his, to take care of him. I knew the plaintiff John Highfield; he lived at Bowers, and was very intimate with Ward ; he 'was his tenant, and Highfield's family did all Ward's tempted establishment of ti forgd instrument, was supported by a tissue of perjury. The Learned! Counsel then proceeded to detail the evidence he should produce on the part of the defendant, 4whereby it Would be proved that Ward, by different lwills up to the time of his death, had provided for Ithe Peakes, by bequeathing them his estates of, Bowers and Mill Miest, subject to certain legacies; 1 that it was not until Ward's death that the plaintiff lever thought of claiming the Bowers estate; that the plaintiff then offered 100/. to the clerk of Ward's at torney to get him a deed of gift drawn, which was Irefused ; that in Sept. 1819, he at last succeeded in .;. betting a deed of gift drawn, engrossed, and stamped , and though the deed now produced was not the . deed which he had thus obtained, yet it was an exact copy, word for word, actually containing the very inaccuracies of the first. It was impossible, continued the Learned Counsel, to suppose this was the effect of a miracle. He, Mr. Campbell, should feel it his duty to apply to his Lordship, that the' deed in question be impounded to answer the pur poses of justice. ' W. Lock) , said, I was clerk to Mr. Batterton, an attorney, residing at Market-Drayton ; Mr. Batter ton was employed for the late Mr. Ward : during that period several wills were prepared for him. He used to make his mark instead of writing his name. I think the mark to the deed is like the cross he used to make. I knew also Mr. Hawley, the attest- ing witness to this deed. I don't think this is his hand-writing. In 1818, the plaintiff asked me to prepare a deed of gift of the Bowers estate for him. l I asked him if he had brought me Ward's instrucH tions, as if not I must go to him for instructions first. Hs said I must not do that, I must prepare the deed, and he would get it executed himself. I said I could :..ot do that. He said if I did he would give me 1001. I still refused. He came again to the office about a month after, and again asked me Ito prepare the deed. I said he had better see Mr. Batterton. He refused to do that, and said if I did not prepare it, he would be -- if he did not get I l somebody else to do it. I had orders before Ward's death to distrain on Mr. Highfield for rent. Henry Gray produced the will of Joseph Ward from the Court of the Bishop of Lichfield, whereby he gave the estate of Bowers and Mill-Miest to John and Joseph Peale, subject to the payment of legacies to the extent of 5001. on each. Thomas Manly, a visiting clerk, residing at New castle, said, that in September, 1819, he met the plaintiff, Highfield, in Newcastle. He asked me to ( make him a deed of gift; I said I was not an attor ney, but took him to one, where he gave instructions for a deed of gift, for conveying the Bowers estate to him ; he never came for it. He told me, on part ing, not to mention it to any one. Mr. Ralph Lea, in 1819, was clerk to Mr. Pres ton, an attorney, of Burslem ; in September, 1819, plaintiff came to me at Hanley, and wanted a deed prepared, from a person named Ward to him self; I requested him to go over to Mr. Preston, at Burslem. The deed was drawn according to the draft I now produce; it was dated the 16th of Sep tember, 1819, and by Highfield's direction the date was altered to the 11th of September, 1818; he said he wanted it to agree with another deed. Mr. Preston proved that he received instructions from the plaintiff to prepare a deed of gift in Sep tember, 1819. 17. A CATECHISM on the CORN LAWS, showing work on the farm.

Thus an immediate change of front, On our part, became necessary ; and the 'ob;act to which our efforts were directed, of court a, was to dislodge the enemy from the very nnportant heights of which he had already gainefl posses sion. In truth, on the success of these efforts depended the whole issue of the battle ; for, if the French succeeded in maintaining their posi tion, ours became untenable, and no resource was left hut a retreat, which, situated as we then were, could not fail to be both disgraceful and calamitous. Such were the circumstances in which both armies stood, when the order, which I have already mentioned, arrived for our bri gade to march instantly to attack the enemy on the heights he occupied. The morning, which had been overcast, " and heavily with clouds brought on the day," had now changed to one of storm and rain, so heavy, that less than forty days of it would have sufficed for a second deluge ; and it was with every part of our apparel perfectly saturated with water that we . commenced our movement.

As we approached the spot where the courage of • both armies was about to be tested, a sight of the most dispiriting description presented itself, at some distance on our right. The first brigade, in the act of forming line, was charged by a large body of Polish lancers, and thus taken at a dis advantage, were thrown into disorder, which it • was found impossible to retrieve. By this at tack, nearly the whole of the Buffs, and second. battalion of the forty-eighth, were made prisoners. We had reached the bottom of the heights, which we were about to ascend, and for that purpose were deploying, by an echelon march, from column into line, when Sir William Stewart, the Heavily rose the sun on the eventful morning second in command, rode up to us at full speed. of the 16th of May, 1811.

The day, already said, was cold and wet, but the clouds obscured his disc, and his rays lost more as I ha v e perspiration stood it large drops on his forehead, than half their brightness in penetrating the dense and ran masses of vapour which on all sides overspread down his cheeks. He was always a man of martial appearance, but at that moment the horizon. We were under arms two hours particularly so.

The morning, though eye, and as he spoke, his utterance was quicker, still and dark, was not misty ; objects, even at a and his voice more animated, than I had ever heard it.

He even went so far as to give a written promise, and shortly afterwards accomplished his base design; after which, all mention of marriage ceased, and no attempt Vt , a s - made to make her any reparation. The plaintiff, however unwillingly, was forced to put her daughter in the box, and to make her the historian of her own misery and disgrace. It might be said that the written promise of marriage, as it would form ,the subject of another action, could not be insisted on ; hut he should use it to show the means by which the defendant was enabled to accomplish his purpose. Elizabeth Machin, examined by Mr. ALDERToN. —Was 24. in July last. She always lived with her mother, who lived on her means. Her father was a butcher. She was entitled on her mother's death to 2801. They live in Halifax. The defendant is 28 ; he is in good circumstances, and keeps two hunting horses. He became acquainted with me in June, 1825; he came to my mother's house, and asked to be allowed to pay his addresses to me ; he is a good-looking man ; I alloWed his addresses by con sent of my mother; he paid Me Visits, and I occa sionally walked out with him. I was willing to marry him, and my mother was willing I shonld.— He gave me a written promise of marriages my mother saw it. He continued his visits afterwards with my mother's approbation. I after that con sented to gratify his passion. I had a child by him., On the 4th of November last, I walked out with him, when he used me very ill. I was taken ill when I came home, .and was brought to bed on the Tuesday following, two days afterwards. Whea II found myself with child, I pressed him to marry me, and he renewed his promise. During his courtship,l he deposited with me, on one occasion, between twcH and three thousand pounds, which I returned to him. Mr. Wthra.k3is tross-examined the witness, and proved that. her sister, who was married, was delifi vered of a child within six months after her marriage. Mr. WILLIAMS addressed the Jury in mitigation, dwelling forcibly on this circumstance, which, he contended, called upon the plaintiff to use greater . vigilance with respect to this daughter, and took away from her all claim of damages.
