MuanEa.—John Birch Was charged with having, on the 28th of March last, at Birmingham, murdered Mary Hinton, by inflicting with an axe several wounds on her neck, face, body, and arms. The prisoner is an old man of respectable appearance. He is very infirm, and is upwards of 75 years of age. Being unable to support himself, the Judge ordered him to be accommodated with a chair. When called upon to plead, he said, " I am guilty. I sin willing to suffer for it." The prisoner here wept aloud. On being desired to remove to another part of the bar, he said, "No, no f I had rather stay here ; I have lost the use of my limbs." The JunGE—Let me advise you to plead Not Guilty.— _ Cir cumstances may come out on your trial that may be favourabl e to you. Prisoner—l au' guilty ; I am guilty. I will not tell a fal se h ood about it. I used her very ill. She was the best woman in the world.Jumix—Yo u The will not be guilty of any sin by pleading Not Guilty. Prisoner Not Guilty ! Wh y , I am guilty. I have done it, and I ni. wish t o suffer for it. I am guilty, and the ino .s r i e r. is n m x y .t Lacisitfortune.—(Bursting into tears.) the prisoner's Counsel, implored him to plead Not Guilty. Prisoner—l say I a_ guilty. I have used God Al mighty very ill, and I want him to forgive m e for it. is (Bursting into tears, and raising his hands ds -.- in a supplicating manner. ) Here his Lordship went out of Court for the purpose of consulting the Lord Chief Justice Best. O n his return he said that a Jury de eircumatantibus must be impannelled to try whether the prisoner pleaded guilty from insanity. On this the Clerk of the Arraigns proceeded to imp anne l a . J urli of Gentlemen in the Court, when the prisoner said, "If it ma k es an y odd s t o th e Court, it makes no odd s t o ; I'll say I'm not guilty; but I am, you see; but it makes no odds to me." While the Jury were being sworn, the prison er app li ed to the Court for a little gin. /fis Lordship asked the gaol surgeon whether it would be proper ; and being told it would, the prisoner was allowed a small quantity. Samuel Child examined by Mr. Gout.nuax—l am son in-law to the unfortunate prisoner. I married his daught er . I knew Mary Hinton Prisoner—lt is of no use going -- on with it ; lam guilty. Witness—Mary Hinton lived with the prisoner Prisoner—lt is of no use ; I have been tried once ; its of no use. Witness—Mary Hinton was his housekeeper; I never heard prisoner use any violent expressions towards the de ceased ; I remember on the morning of the 28th of March the prisoner calling after me ; I returned to him ; when I got back again he told me to go and fetch two officers-- Prisoner—l told him I had killed Mary. Witness—He wished me to fetch two officers, for he had done murder ; I told him I hoped he had not killed Mary; He said, " Yes, I have," and pointed to where she lay. I was within sight of the body; I Was just within one door of the prisoner's house; his house is in Milk-street, Bir mingham. The face of the woman was covered with blood, I went to my wife to tell her what had happened, and I and my wife returned back to the prisoner's house ; when we got back the woman was alive ; she stirred her left hand; we sent for a surgeon, Mr. Ellis; he dressed the wounds of the deceased Prisoner. —Ah ! they had no occasion to be dressed ; she was dead enough. _ _ Witness.—l have heard that the prisoner often said that he would destroy himself. Prisoner.—When did you hear me say that? Never in your life ; tell the truth. Witness.—l never heard him say it myself. Cross-examined by Mr. Hum enarv.—The prisoner and the deceased had lived together twenty-two years ; she had been remarkably kind and attentive to him ; he was strongly attached to her ; the deceased, before she died, had often expressed great apprehensions with regard to the prisoner's state of mind. Prisoner.—What is that ? what is that ? No lies. Witness.—On the Monday night before her death she consulted my wife on the subject. Prisoner.—What did she do, Sam ? What did she do, Sam ? Your wife was never in my house. What had your wife to do with it ? She never was in our house. — Tell no falsehoods, Sam ; I would contradict any man who would tell lies. Witness--I have heard the deceased say many times that prisoner was in a very low and desponding state of mind. He has been confined of late very much to his own house. Prisoner—Confined! Who confined me ? I went out when I had a mind. Witness--Prisoner is seventy-five years of age. No one lived with them. Prisoner—Sam, you know nothing about it. I lived with her as my wife. I had used to give her the rents, and I killed her. Witness—There was nobody in the house when he kill ed her, so that he might have got away. I was very appre hensive that the prisoner would commit self-destruction. . Prisoner—What ! what ! who did I say I would kill ? My (laughter was always encouraging Mary to tell tales, and I made a noise at her. Witness —The deceased told my wife that prisoner was out of bed several times on the Tuesday night. Prisoner—Go away, thou black looking rascal. I never was up all night. Get about thy business, thou scoundrel, and don't tell a pick of lies; I was never up a❑ night; I was lying in bed all night with her, and all was comfort able. We had a good dish of tea with some rum in it ; all was quiet ; you are telling a thousand lies. Here the witness was removed from the witness-box, which was near the prisoner, when the old man jumped upon his legs and began to abuse him (the witness) violently. Witness—The prisoner had the misfortune to have a daughter drowned on the Pth of December. Prisoner—What is that to do with it ? Oh, you rascal —your brother robbed her of all her property. lam will ing to suffer for the murder, and what can a man say fairer? My daughter had nothing to do with it. Edward Smallwood examined—l remember going to the prisoner's house on Wednesday last. It was about a quar ter before ten. I saw the deceased lie upon the floor. I could not see the wounds on her head and face for the blood. The prisoner was in the room at the time. When I got into the room he was coming from the parlour-door, and going towards the deceased. I took hold of him, and put him to sit upon a chair. He asked me to loose him. I said, 1 shall not loose yon, Mr. Birch." He said, "if you loose me I will serve you the same." I said, " con sider what you have been doing." He said, " I know what I have done, end sin willing to suffer for it." He said, " is she quite dead." I told him " I did not know." He said, " if she is not dead, loose nie, and let me go and finish her." I said, " what (lid you do it with ?" He said, " with a broad axe." I asked him " where have you put it ?" He said, " I hare hid it in the parlour." I held him till the officers came, which was about three-quarters of an hour. He resisted several times, and wanted to get away from me. Mr. limurnaxv declined asking this witness any ques tions. Elizabeth Newton proved, that she saw the deceased bleeding on the floor. Prisoner attempted to go out, but witness prevented him by standing by his chair. The de ceased raised herself up a little. Prisoner said, " let me go, and I will finish her." Witness kept prisoner in the Prisoner—That is a falsehood. She was was not able to keep me in the chair. Witness—Prisoner ordered her to go out of the house. She assisted in taking the deceased up stairs and dressing her wounds when the surgeon came. About half au hour afterwards the deceased died. Cross-examined by Mr. Humenner —There were several persons by when prisoner said " let me go and I will finish her." This was after prisoner had sent for the officers. Paul Lee examined—l am one of the Birmingham police. I was sent for to Birch's house oil Wednesday, March 28. I asked where the weapon was that had done the deed. Some of the people said, it was up stairs—and some said, it was in the cellar. The prisoner said, it is in the parlour, where I found it, in a darkish corner. It was very wet with blood. It was amongst some old shoes. [Here the witness produced the axe. It was covered with blood.] I took the prisoner to the police-office. I asked him, " is this the weapon you did the deed with ?" Ile said, it was. I asked him how he could think of using asuch h i l n v i eal t io t n be to do the with tiine. t H de e e a w d i with. id ill e d her, ant,liebedewviilshne'ads to suffer for it. His hands were both very bloody. The prisoner's Counsel declined asking this whiles.' any questions. Mr. Thomas Ellis, surgeon—Was called in to look at the deceased. There were several wounds on the head and face. They were such wounds as would have been produced by an axe, and no doubt caused her death. Mr. GOULBURN-That is my case. The JUDGE-Prisoner, is there any thing you would wish to say to the Jury? Prisoner—No, I am guilty—that's all. For the defence, Mr. READER called Mr. William Field, who married a daughter of the prisoner —The deceased was very kind to the prisoner, and he was strongly attached to her. For more than the last twelve months be has been in a very bad state of mind. Prisoner— There was nothing th e matter w ith me, Field, only I was lame—that's all. Witness—His daughter was drowned on the 9th of De ember last— Prisoner—Oh ! that made no odds.—(Groaning.) Witness—Heard some time back of his buying a razor. Prisoner--A razor !—Well, I wanted one to be sure. As to your saying that— Gaoler—Don't talk—don't talk. Prisoner Well, but he ought to speak the truth. Witness—The deceased told witness that prisoner had bought a razor; and that they could not get it from bins— Prisoner—Ah ! they all tell you had three razors, if you must know. Sure a man may have a razor. Don't tell lies. You are like Sam Child. I tell you what, gentle men__this villain that stands here, inveigled me out of a hundred and twenty pound note. Ask him that, gentle men. Now he comes here to say / am out o f my mind, after cheating his brothers. That's Field, Mr. Maudetiley—you k now F i e ld . If I w as out of my head, you, Field, was not out of y'our's, for you got the money from me. Witness—Mr. Euser proposed to Bend him to a place of confinement. Prisoner...A place of confugniCa.mowby you are all cow- ing here to rake up a pretty parcel of lies. Gentlemen, Field had used to collect my rents, and he fisted that hun dred and twenty pound note. The girl was a good girl. I never loved a girl so well in my life.—( Weeping.) He got three pounds of me the other day, and then he never came near me. Is not that the truth, you villain ? Give me a Bible—l don't care what they say, so as they speak the truth. The others speak the truth, but you and Child are like Jack Ketch. You ought to have given me the three pounds to spend in the gaol —or he might have put it into your hands (turning to the gaoler). Ah! he got my money—being my son-in-law I could not put him to trouble. Wit ness —We told the deceased that something must be done for her safety. She would not consent to his being sent from her— Prisoner—No ! no ! I believe not—(weeping). I would not have parted from her for the world. Witness—Have heard her say, people must not wonder if they found hor dead in the house. The witness was going down, when the prisoner cried out—My Lord, put him to his oath whether he had not my money. The Juncr —That shall be done by and by. Prisoner—Very well—l shall not forget to remind you. John Birch, eldest son of the prisoner, examined—My father has been in a very queer way— Prisoner— , Speak the truth, Jack—you know Field got that bill of me. Witness—We had great apprehensions for his safety, and for the safety of the deceased— Prisoner—Jack ! Tack ! speak the truth. I repent now that I had any trial—l am afraid you want to get me hanged that you may have my money—but I ought to be hanged. Witness—The prisoner was not in the habit of shaving himself for the last twelve months Prisoner —Why I could not see to shave myself—what has that to do with it; don't other men get shaved? The man came to my house and shaved me for a penny a-week, but I thought I could save the penny a-week ;. this is soft sort of witn ta e l ss_ k ; w c h a a n t e l d ia t s ipo bu n yin pr g is a on raz er o t r o t s o d pe o ak w l i v t i l t i h th :i m m a a t b te o r u: the razor ; prisoner said he had not got a razor, and pre tended to go into the parlour to change his shoes JUDGE-.-How do you know he pretended ? Prisoner—Ah ! ah ! My Lord, how does he know that? Witness—l followed him into the parlour, and he took the razor out of the fire place. Witness tried to get it of him, but prisoner would not part with it— Prisoner.—Ah, Jack ! Jack ; Go thy ways—go thy ways—and don't tell a pack of lies. lam as well and as hearty as I was when I was 16 years of age, only lame. Witness.—Spoke to Mary Hinton about his being re moved himselft t o o a d place f p c i n i n s o fi n n e e r i . n_e n A t . ! S a l i n e d s s a o i d l l s at h o w u o l d u . l d fret Witness.—Mary said he was sometimes out of his mind, and sometimes not. Prisoner.—Out of my mind ! I never was out of my mind. I was not out of my mind when I did the mischief. Ask me any questions, and see whether I am out of my mind. Mr. Ensor, surgeon, proved that prisoner's son and son in-law consulted him on his state of mind. Prisoner.—Well, Mr. Ensor, how do you do? Witness.— Saw the prisoner, and he appeared to me very much deranged. Was of opinion that he ought to have been immediately confined. Mr. John Maudesley, prisoner's attorney, proved that he had been professionally concerned for the prisoner 20 years. Had observed during the last year a great altera tion in his state of mind. He has been in a very low desponding way. Remembers him calling upon witness about a sum of 4001., which witness had placed out at interest. Prisoner—Aye, aye ; but that you have paid, you know.. It's all right. Witness toll him he had no occasion to he alarmed, for the security was worth 10001. He then cried very much, and said he was sure he should lose it. There was no ground for his apprehension. Prisoner—He had never paid any interest. 3 u v.—Had the interest been paid. Witness—Not then. Prisoner continued in a low and desponding state. Mr. Justice HOLROVD summed up the evidence. The great question for the Jury to consider was, whether the prisoner, at the time the murder was committed, was in a sound state of mind. Prisoner-1 was ! I was in my senses at the time. I was indeed ! Mr. Justice HoLßovn continued—The prisoner might have been insane previous to the murder, and yet in his senses when he committed it. The Jury had also to con sider whether he was at this moment in a sane state, be cause if he was not, the proceedings could not go on. A late Act of Parliament had provided in such case, that the prisoner should he kept in confinement, being still liable to be put on his trial, in case he should recover his senses. The Jury had seen his conduct in Court, and they would first consider whether he was now in his senses. The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and found the prisoner was insane at the time of his trial, and insane at the time he committed the murder. Prisoner—Oh dear, oh dear ! Oh, my Lord ! Do, my Lord, let me be hanged. How am Ito live in this world ? I must do some mul.e mischief to get hanged. The J unGE—You will be taken care of. You must be kept in confinement to prevent yuur doing any farther mis chief. Prisoner—l hope you won't keep me here. Let hie be hanged, my Lord—l can't live ! si mpso ,e s trial for the murder of his wife, at Birming ham, is postponed till the next Assizes. This unfortunate man, we u nderstand, is in such a state of mental and bo dily suffering, £3 to render him quite incapable of taking his trial. Mr. Justice HOXROY D passed sentence of death upon James Boot, for selling a quantity of five and one pound Bank of England notes. The prisoner is a native of Bir mingham, i s a man of respectable appearance, and about 50 years of age. His Lordship observed, that the pri soner's case was attended with such circumstances, as ren dered it absolutely impossible that mercy should be ex tended to him. It appeared that the prisoner was a re gular trader in forged Bank notes, and it was necessary foa the protection of the public, that an example should be made, particularly (as us this case) when they came near the fountain-head. It was with utter regret that he in formed the prisoner— Boot—Oh, my Lord, my Lord ! please to have mercy upon me, and spare my years. la m an o ld man, b ut send me out of the country, wherever you think fit. Hi s LORDSHIP proceeded to pass sentence in the usual form ; after which the prisoner clung to the bar, burst into tears, and with uplifted hands exclaimed----" Oh, my Lord, my Lord ! Oh my good Lord, have mercy upon me ! Sparc m y years ! Have mercy for Jesus Christ's sake! Mercy, mercy !

John Grow laid I am the present farming-bailiff of Lord Somers. I succeeded the defendant. I saw the de fendant in March, 1826 ; he said he was leaving his place on account of the housekeeper, as he had given her offence by calling her a w—, but he could prove her to be one ; and he added, that he had sent such a letter to the Castle that would prove she was so, and he had sent it in such a way, that all the servants would see it; and if it should come to the sight of the family, she would not be retained in her situation. I told him I was sorry to find that such a thing had happened. He said that he had been very in timate with Mrs. Wartnaby for some time. Cross-examined by Mr. CAMPBELL—I understood that he had called her by the opprobrious name to her face. Mr. George Watson said—l am steward to Lord Somers. This letter is of the defendant's handwriting. I recollect that some months before the date of the letters the defen dant told ins of alleged irregularities in the plaintiff's cha racter, and I was directed by my Lord and Lady to make inquiries on this subject, and I after that told the defen dant that I had inquired, and found nothing against her; and I added that these were general aspersions, of which I could not find any confirmation. I recommended him to say he had been misinformed, and I told him instead of general charges he had better go into particulars; and I recollect saying to the defendant, you made us believe that this female was unchaste, and the defendant said, she has been with me. I asked him if he had meant that all along, and he said he had. Elizabeth de Nieu said—l am the cook at Eastnor Castle. Mrs. Wartnaby is housekeeper. I have wit nessed her character and conduct during all the time I have been there. I never saw any thing improper in her conduct. Mrs. Roper said—l have lived with Lady Somers, as lady's maid, for nine years. I have never seen any levity in the conduct of the housekeeper. The Rev. John Higgins said—l have the living of Eastnor, and am Domestic Chaplain to Lord Somers. As Domestic Chaplain I have known the plaintiff, and never heard any thing against her character. Cross-examined—l did not use to go to the house keeper's room. Mrs. Wartnaby never invited me there. —(A laugh.) The letter was read—it was to the following effect Eastnor Farm, March 24. Madam—l am very much surprised that you have not paid me the pound you know you are indebted to me. I don't wonder at your denying the same, as you have all other transactions between us, which you well know you have told lies in so doing. I therefore do not wonder at your being ashamed to face me, as you well know your own conduct to have been that of a most imprudent w Amman and you know where and when—for the first time in the cook's room, and the last in the housekeeper's room—when you told me I had ruined you. Such things should never have been exposed if you had not grossly insulted me. Al though you endeavour to appear a virtuous woman, I shall always say the reverse,•and speak truth in so doing. I beg you will return my money by the bearer, which is all I want of so worthless and ill-disposed a woman as yourself ; which is what 1 shall not spare to speak of in the way you de serve. LUKE BULL. Addressed—Mrs. Wartnaby. Mr. CAs.tritELL, for the defendant, regretted all that had passed, and his client would consent to a verdict passing against him, and that the Jury should record their opinions of Mrs. Wartuaby's innocence. Mr. Sergeant BosANQuErr said, that it was for Mr. Rus sell to consider whether, as the charges were now confessed to be untrue, be would wish to press the case further. Mr. RUSSELL said, that his difficulty was this. The de fendant was not in Hereford, and he had several times re fused to deny the charges under his hand. Mr. CAMPBELL said that he wag now compelled to take the only course left to his client. The fact was, that the defendant was often at Eastuor Castle, and an acquaintance commenced with the plaintiff, which went on to the failure of Mrs. Wartuaby's chastity; and she, not content with that, received the addresses of 111 r. Meyrick, at the same time when Mr. Bull, feeling this to he an injury to him, reproached her with it, and she being enraged became a furious woman, which was the most furious of ail things; and this was the real history of this fair Penelope. Thos. Willis said—l now live at Cheltenham, where I keep a shop. I was formerly a servant at Eastnor Castle. I left in March 1826. I lived there two years and four months. I wcs second coachman. I remember, in Dec., 1824, being out late. I went to Hope End to see a young woman na►ned Rebecca Jones, whom I have married.— There is a room in Eastuor Castle called the still-room. A► I passed it, on my way to bed, between eleven and twelve o'clock that night, I heard voices. I knew the voice of Mr. Bull, and as I wanted to see him, I tapped gently at the door, but no answer was given. This induced me to open the door a little way ; and I opened it enough to look in. There was a light on the table; and on my looking in I saw Mr. Bull and Mrs. Wartnahy. (The witness de scribed what he saw.) On perceiving what I did, I in stantly drew back and shut the door. Wheu I had been out late, I used to take my shoes off at the door not to dis turb the family. I mentioned this first to Mr. Bull. He asked me about the circumstance, and I told him what I saw. I have seen Mr. Meyrick at the Castle. Ha used to inquire for Mrs. Wartnaby, and was directed into the white-room. Sarah Acton, a very fine girl-1 am in the service of the Rev. Mr. Turner. I formerly lived at Eastnor Castle as still-maid. I lived there for a year, and then left for six months, and then went back again. The still-maid has to wait in the housekeeper's room. Mr. Bull was a great deal in company with Mrs. Wartuahy. They used to walk out together towards the Ledbury-road. They walked frequently together when it was getting dusk. I don't know how long they were out, because I did not see them come in. He used to sup in the housekeeper's room, and stay till eleven or twelve o'clock, no one being in the room with them. I have gone to bed and left them together. I remember Mr. Meyrick coming : he used to stay late, sometimes till one o'clock in the morning. Lord and Lady Somers were gone to bed before that, and Mr. Meyrick used to be in the housekeeper's room, and sometimes I have shown him up to the white room, which has a couch in it. That room opens into a bed-room. One evening I went into the steward's room, at about eight o'clock. It was in the winter time. There was no light, but I found the plaintiff and Mr. Meyrick there. When I opened the door, Mrs. Wartnaby Caine out, and Mr. Meyrick followed her. A little after this, I think about ten o'clock on the same evening, I went into the cook's room, the rest of the ser vants having gone up to supper, and on nay way I passed the housekeeper's room. There was no candle in that room, and but little fire. I could discern who was there. Mr. Meyriek has stopped in the Castle all night, and he did so at Mrs. Wartnaby's request.

EDMUND'S, AVAIL 2. BILOWN v. BOLTON. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, brought by Mrs. Brown, who occupies the Angel Inn, at Yarmouth, against the defendant, who lately occupied the Norfolk Hotel, Norwich. Plea, the general issue. Mr. KELLY opened the pleadings. Mr.Roarrrsort stated the plaintiff's cue. He described the contrast not as all engagement of early and romantic affection, which could not be compensated when wantonly broken, in a Court of Justice, but as a sober and dispas sionate agreement, entered into between two elderly per sons, the violation of which was a subject well adapted to the investigation of a Jury. Thomas Roe examined—Lives in the Angel Inv, at . Yarmouth. Married a sister of Mrs. Brown. The inu belongs to Mrs. Brown and her eldest son. Has known Mr. Bolton for many years. He ie,rnow a=6 proprie tor, living in a private house at Norwich. Did kety Norfolk Hotel, the largest establishment of the kind at Norwich. He lives in a very elegant house, and very elegantly furnished. He gave up the Norfolk Hotel to his son about a year ago. Mr. Bolton told witness that his son pays him 6001. a year for the hotel, and a house attached to it. Recollects Mr. Bolton visiting the Angel Inn, on the 24th July last year, being the Yarmouth races, where he stopped until the 27th. The first two days he had some friends to dine with him, and then had a private room, and paid for it; the remainder of the time he was the guest of Mrs. Brown, and paid nothing. He came again on the first of August with Mr. Sadler.... Witness was present when Mr. Bolton was making love to the plaintiff, and saying that he wanted no money with her; he had knows her a long while. When he left on the 13th, he said he should be back in a few days. The parties spent a great part of the day together. Witness and his wife were in the bar together during that time ; the parties appeared to be on the best terms. Cross-examined—The house that the witness occupies he rents of Mrs. Brown and her son. The Angel Inn is the largest in Norfolk. Mrs. Brown is a very respectable looking woman. Nature has not written many years on her countenance. One would not suppose her above fifty. —(A laugh.)—Has great doubt as to her being sixty. Does not come provided with her exact age. She is not so handsome as she has been.—(Laughter.) —She is a very decent good-looking woman. The Junox—lfilatever the Learned Counsel may prove with respect to the lady's age, he will hardly be able to show she has entrappe,d an inexperienced young man.—(A laugh.) 'Witness did not think the lore scene in the bar very ri diculoue. The parties were talking and laughing, and doing nothing else.---(A laugh.) Lucy Boast—ls wife of Mr. Jonathan Boast, who keep the Bear Inn at Southtown, near Yarmouth. Has known. the plaintiff and defendant many years. In August last Mrs. Brown and the defendant were at the house of witness. Mr. Bolton and Mrs. Brown came in the evening. In , consequence of what the waiter told her, she went into the room where the parties were. Mr. Bolton said he wanted to see her husband, and that he had brought Mrs. Brown to speak to him. Told witness he was going to take her to Yarmouth. Asked him for what purpose ; he said to marry her. He said he should like very much to sec her husband. When her husband came home he was shown into the room. Mr. Bolton before that said there was a widow whom his friends wished him to marry, and who was a person of property, but this " old lady (meaning Mrs. Brown) always stood before the widow." Mrs. Brown said, " I think it the greater compliment, for I have not any money." When her husband came, she told him Mr. Bolton wished to sse him, as he was going to take Mrs. Brown away. He asked whether as wife or house keeper. She said as wife. Witness said to Mr. Bolton, " As you have brought the subject forward, pray when is this wedding to take place?" He said, "at Michaelmas." Cross-examined.—The words that Mr. Bolton said, when he spoke of a widow that his friends wished him to marry, were " But this old lady always stood first," mean ing Mrs. Brown. Witress is on friendly terms with Mrs. Brown. Thera is no marriage between the parties. It is uncertain whether any is about to take place. When the parties came to the Bear inn, it was about nine o'clock in the evening. It was not a dry meeting.—(A laugh.)— The defendant called for a pint of wine. He paid for the wine as a regular customer. Frances Brown.—ls a daughter of the plaintiff. Saw Mr. Bolton in the month of August last. He called upon her on the 12th of August. Asked her if she would take a tide with him the next day in his gig, far he had Borne thing particular to nay. During that ride he said, "I am going to marry your mother ; have you any objection ?" She said she had not ; but asked if his friends had any ob jection. Ile replied that they had not, and Mrs. Durant, his daughter, told him he must do as he pleased. Ile said be was to marry at Michaelmas. lie could Rot before, because his housekeeper would not leave till then. He asked witness if she would go to church with them as bridesmaid ; said the marriage was to be at Yarmouth ; she was to make the wedding-dresses ; and he asked if she would go to Norwich with them after they were married. Cross-examined—Her mother had been with the de fendant at Norwich before this conversation. She stayed two or three days at his house. It was about the 27th of July. He did not tell her who was to make the wedding cake.—(A laugh.) The marriage of the defendant with his present wife, a younger lady, was admitted. Mr. STORE:FS (with whom was Mr. Asrnßevss) ma d e He an animated speech for the defence. said his Learned Friend had rightly described this contract as h av i ng /lo tti ng of ardent or romantic feelieg connected with it. There was here neither passion nor sentiment—no subject for pa thetic eloquence, or for the melodi ous sorrows of the amatory lns burningtlesert ed lover. Th ere were no breat hi ng epistles—no muse--here was no flying Cupid b rea ki ng hi s bow in anger shrine of l o ' nl l tio ; n° all in was quiet at this perfidious conduct of his vo t ar i es, or weeping at the terchan i g e e t, of o magic tokens of a fond affecticold, and businesslik e .
