COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 4. ALLEGED AREACII OF PROMISE OF MAIMIAGE. JUSTICE; AND 1-11.1MANITY...-t COLE V. TIVIGGEM Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated that this was an action by Elizabeth. Cole against Joseph , Twigger, far a• breach of promise of . marriage, to which the general issue was pleaded. • . Mr. Buouottam stated thecase of the plaintiff', who claimed Compensation for one of the most serious injuries v.-hich a female •could suffer. Cases of this description certainly differed from each other, but this was one of peculiar aggravation and hard ship ; for not only had the plaintiff to complain of all the mor tification and hardship which attended the breach of a solemn engagement,. but she, had to deplore the loss of her virtue, un dermined by the defendant's promises, and subdued, under cir cumstances which would have induced many, even among libertines, to spare her. At the time when she - became ac quainted with the defendant she was an orphan„without father, mother, almost without a friend or.proteetOr; and yet the de fendant blushed not to obtain her confidence by professions of love ; and having triumphed over h er c h as tity, t o c ast her off, friendless and helpless, to the scorn of the world. She was a young lady of great personal attractions, the daughter of an opulent farmer in Leicestershire, who lost her father in 1817,, and her - mother in 1810, and went to live in the family of Mr. Newbolt, .one.of her guardians. Death, howeVer; deprived her of his protection, and after passing some .time in the family of. his brother, lone] Hulse, she was placed to board in the house of a respectable widow lady, named Pring, at the town of Coles hill, m Warwickshire : while under her protection she became accidentally acquainted with thedefendant, who was then pur suing his studies at Oxfbrd in preparation for holy orders, and who was spending his vacation at the house of his mother, Mrs. Peers, who lived nearly opposite to Mrs. Pring, The families were intimate; the defendant, a young ,man of fascin a ti ng manners, paid great attention to the young lady, and won her affections. His expectations were considerable, for he was the eldest son, and on hi s mo th er ' s d ea th en ti t l e d to an estate of MK or 400/. - a year, besides what he might reasonably expect from his talents and connections. After an acquaintance of two or three months he proposed marriage, and was accepted. He behaved to - her as a most . ardent and respectful lover, cQn ulted her on all his affairs, and submitted his conduct to her approbation. His mother knew and sanctioned his choice by inviting her frequently to her house, and treat* her with the rospect due to an intended daughter. In his deters he address ed her passionately, and though such effusions sounded ridi. culous in the ears of bystanders, they would afford evidence of the relation between the parties. From one specimen the Jury would be well able to judge of the reason which the plaintiff had to confide in his sincerity and honour. It seemed he had been infected avith a taste for boxing, which he (Mr. Brougham) did not comprehend, and against which she had exerted her Influence ; ,and accordingly he. thus wrote to her respecting one•of those matches, from which she de3ired him to refrain : " My dearest Eliza—Long ere you receive this, you will have heard of the unfortunate issue of poor Billy's battle, therefore I will not say any thing concerning it. Very. lucky for me, I could not get a single sixpence on the event, and what will surprise you mare, I had fortitude sufficient, to keep away from it, co nt rar y t o th e expectation of ever y one that knew me. As I hope to live, I did it to please you ; and front this time forth I solemnly vow never more to interfere in any such matters, and you will see what I can be—l hope to God every thing you could lie at my - mother's as much as possible. I hope, and mean, with God's permission, in a very short time, to 'claim and clasp you as mine, own until death. Think of me, Eliza, and expect to see me on Friday morning, when I hope to make arrangements with you for our future proceedings. May Heaven bless and preserve you ; and all I wish and all I ask for is, that your heart may beat respondent and w ith equa l love to t hat of your true and. ever-loving admirer, Ma. Enuroa—llumamity in the administcaii!,-1 Of jostice is certainly one of the most dOightful attributes of a Sovereign invested with absolol •power. Greatly we may admire the tower; • and creatlng, genius of Peter the GI eat, an while we admit that his civilization of atissi. and the noble works he accomplished, justly title him, to the latter appellation, we must gtni confess that his extreme severity often casts 1 inerancholy shadow upon his otherwise noble awl: splendid character. That the grOss barbarity, o! his subjects rendered severity almost indispe . bible, is a fact that can hardly be denied ; hot it must be admitted, on the Other _hand, that io more instances than one he carried thiS severity .. to an unjustifiable' extent. his treatatentof. first Empress Eudocia, was such as humanity justly reprobates, :and -his conduct towards his own son, Alexius,.the most exalted , patriotism can hardly justify". But, If we consider hi, early education, the state of society in Muscovy,. the nature of the .established Government, the vastness of his phinS, the immense obstacles which opposed the . accomplishing of them, the good he has done to his country, nay, the many noble. traits that appear in his character, we, must be induced to judge him with lenity, and consider his faults, as spots up-on the disc of the sun.

On the cioss-examination of this witness, it appeared that the defendant had been brought into .the town in custody from Kingston-upon-Hull,' but not that the defenaant directed him to be taken. She attended to filiatethe ebild. defendant . did not appeal to the Sessions. • Thomas Cheatty proved that he held. a_ farut tinder the de fendant's mother of 85 acres, for which he paid 1501. a year. It was admitted that the defendant was married to Mrs. `Catherine Lawton, at widow, at St.. Leonard's, Shoreditch, bti the 10th DeZember, 1824. - - r• I • , • 1 Ins was the plaintiff's case. - Mr. SCAIILETT addressed the Jury for the defendant. They had heard from Mr. 'Brougham a variety of: circumstances calculated to excite their compassion, which rested on his mere statement, and to which, therefore,' no attention ought to be paid.. The truth must already ,be obvious, that Dickins was allowed to visit the plaintiff P.A. illicit purposes,. and that she was, in fact, his mistress. To hirn the defendant bad, no doubt, succeeded- , -a thoughtless young man, fresh from Col lege, who, hi the retirement of the country, was captivated by a handsome faCe, and the fascinations of an attractive and artful girl. She was introduced to Mrs. Pring's _house, not by her luardian, but by a you?* man ; and it was scarcely possible that ady could be entirely ignorant of her character and designs. Was it not clear, that, on the day when the letters were return ed, and Dickins was ditnissed, the defendant was accepted as a lover in Ida room? He would prove.that horses were ordered, but fortunately for Picking; some quarrel ensued, and the misery of the connexion was cast on the defendant, - who was Some years younger than'the plaintiff: He would prove the history of that dispute, and - sliew how happy a dismissal Mr. Dickins had ob tained. • There was no doubt that a.connection had existed be tween the plaintiff and the defendant•--he did not deny or ex cuse it—it was indiscreet, wrong, and foolish ; but still it did • not prove any promise of marriage. The defendant denied that he had Made - any;; the letters read were perhaps, ambiguous; but had 'all the letters been produced, it might, perhaps, have been seen that nothing like a promise ever vas given. - It 'was true that the - plaintiff had beer. received at the house of Mrs. Peers, whiclf might at. first seem strange, but which was capable of easy explanation. Mrs. Peers was anxious that her son should enter the church, although he had not . done so; and when she fouild that the plaintiff was with child by him, she did, wish that he should marry her, believing she had previously been chaste, and ilesiring .to prevent further scandal; but - afterwards - she made discoveries which led her to change her mind, and to regard the connexion as 'tin evil which she ought to shun. What would the jury say when they found a - letter from the plaintiff herself, denying that any promise had been made, and giving the defendant leave tatinarry whomso ever he, chose ? Surely this would put an end to the action; but if necessary, he could proVe repeated declarations to the same effect. She did riot wish to be a wife—she, chose rather to be " free as air," thiriking with Eloisa—. " Not Cmsar's Empress would I deign to prove ; " •No, Make me mistress to the man I love." • But she threatened to ruin this young man, and break his wife's heart ; and het first step towards accomplishing' . her purpose was to have him arrested at Kingsteaf.upon : Hull, to swear her child to him ; and the second was to bring this action ; but here, at least, she would be defeated. A letter from the plaintiff to the defendant was then read as follows - OTICE of SALE of that desirable and I . N FREEHOLD ESTATE, exonerated from Land Tax, called . FARMINGTON.

"-----......_ P E E It A G E. HOUSE OF LORDS, .MONDAY,. JULY 4. • THE STAFFORD PEERAGE. Dr. TUCKER appeared on behalf of Mrs. Gertrude IVlTarthy, a widow lady, who is opposed to Sir. George Jerninghath in this claim. Mrs. Blanchard gave a hearsay evidence of the pedigree of the female claimant, which went to show that she was descend ed from the late Earl of Stafford, but could no t es t a bli s h h er legitimacy. The Worcester marriage-register was produced on behalf of Sir George Jerningham. It appeared that it was kept very irregularly, being for some time out of the custody of the proper officer; it • likewise contained some 'interpolations, and was in many parts blotted, so as to excite suspicion among their Lordships. A copy of the will of the late Earl of Staf ford was produced-by a clerk from the Prerogative Court, in which the following singular bequest appeared :—To the worst of women except not being a —, my wife, I bequeath 45 brass half-pence, to buy a pullet for tier supper, she is a ' and a termagant; the dalighterof Monsieur Grammont, a Frenchman, who was the most contemptible of inen, and neyer was able to make 45 halfpnce in •his life; had I knOwli their character in time, I would not have intermarried with them." This will is dated 172-1. '"Every body tells me that you never eared for me ; but the reverse is the fact. I know you never made me any promise, but I trusted to your honour. You have my leave to marry w'hom you please ; but if you live for twenty years, I will ruin you, and break your wife's heart." Air. SCARLETT submitted whether, after this letter, the ac tion could be maintained: The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked Mr._ Brougham if he, was prepared with any evidence to explain this lttter by the par ticular circumstances under wl!ich.it was written. , Air. BROUGHAM replied thatlie - was not ; hitt that he should confidently submit to the Jury s that it was merely the letter of an angry woman,. who felt h erse lf ill- use d . The LORD CHIEF JusTicy: said, that if the plaintiff trusted to the defendant's honour without a promise, she had no ground of action, and that he thought the plaintiff must be nonsuited. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he supposed that this was a set-off to another part of the will, wherein a bequest was made to the best of women. Mr. BROUGHAM expressed a strong desire to - proceed, but yielded to an intimation from the Lord Chief Justice, that he considered the construction of the letter as purely matter of law, on which he wis bound to decide. • •L• 11r. Sciatr,EvT offered to withdraw a Juror; but the pro poft!t! was declined. The LOAD -CHIEF Jurricr. directed the . pjaintiff to be called • and in answer to an application for-leave to move, said, that M r. Brougham had 'a right to mov e , an d h e s h ou ld be happy to revise his judgment, if he were wrong, but that at pre sent he had no doubt.—The plaintiff was then nonsuited. • . . 9ann"PN REPOSITORY for the CABINET 111A1CgftS' v - ," - ',., L ETY, for every Dtsc iption of CABINET FURNI 1.- Q-ctli FEATHER 1:1 ' E r n and MATTRESS MANLY . - 'AtiT4III., .

Mr. ADAM said, that Sir George JerMingham's descent from the late Earl of Stafford was considered as established, there. being no doubts manifested respecting it on the former inquiry. _The, LICIIID CuAwcri.ton said, that Sir George Jerning ham s:-.me time ago petitioned his M a j es ty t o h ave hi s claim established. His Majesty having referred it to the House, two questions arose—first,- as to the pedigree ; and, secondly, how far the attainder affected him. The latter was referred to the Judges ; and before they came to a decision the attainder was reversed. Application was then made to issue a writ; but re collecting that the question of pedigree was also before the House, and not established, he ,did not feel at liberty to com ply. He was often blamed for hesitating in such cases ; but if it should turn out that the pedigree could not be established, their Lordships might then feel inclined to give him credit for being"ptirticular. The further consideration was adjourned to 'Wednesday next. THE GARDNER PEERAGE. Several medical men were examined in this case to-day, whose evidence went only to prove.several instances of pro tracted gestation: Some 'discussions arose as to the admissi bility of women to give evidence on this point. The Earl, of DA RLlNwrox said, that .as the opinions of physiCians were entirely founded on the statements made to them by women, if women themselves were admitted, the evi dence of the physicians ought to be struck out. . The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that.when a ph;:s . c al gave. his opinion, the Boma might ask the grounds of it; and if they doubted the statements of women, they might then exa mine them.

" To Miss Cole, Mrs. Pring's, C , oleshill." Unhappily this lady was deceived by these professions of affec tion, and surrendered her virtue to the importunities of her lover. Little. did she think that the defendant, whom she had loved, and in whom she had trusted, would abandon her to in. famy and sorrow. If the most profligate libertine would feel some relentings on the seduction of an unprotected orphan, how little could her utter abantionient be suspected in a man who was qualifying himself for the holy office of a minister ! She became a mother,. and Mr. Twigger's hive was at an end—, she was no longer his "dearest Eliza ;" his vows and pro testations • were over.;. he hid himself, and was found with the utmost difficulty ' • and when found, was the husband of ano ther woman. So destitute was this young ladY's condition, that she must have gone to tho workhouse but for the humanity of Captain Peers, who had married the defendant's mother. He opened his house to receive her, and there she remained ten weeks, and was d e li ve r e d o f a child. Indeed, the conduct of this gentleman was most honourable through the whole of this me lancholy transaction. Mrs.. Peers, on the other hand, had taken part with her son, which might he excused to a mother; but she had also acted towards the plaintiff in a way which she had little reason to expect. Under these circumstances—her health destroyed—her character blasted L-pressed down by a complica tion of misery —she sought redress at the hands of the jury against one who would one day be well able to pay damages, and who, if not at present independent, still deserved not the less to suffer for the injury which he had inflicted. Mrs. Pring, a widow lady of Cotentin', was then sworn. She stated that Miss Cole came to reside at her house on the 24th of June, 1823, as a boarder, being then about 23 or 24 years of age. The defendant resided at that time with his mother, who had married Capt. Peers. She knew Mr. and Mrs. Peers, and was on visiting terms with them. There were only two or three houses between their residence and her own. The de fendant visited the plaintiff, anti paid her much attention; her manners were ladylike and genteel. Miss Cole was confined at the house of Mrs. Peers, and remained there afterwards for 12 or 13 weeks. Mr. Twigger was between 21) and 30 years of age; he was perhaps 23 when he first became acquainted with Miss Cole. On cross-examination by Mr. SCAALETT, the witness said, that when, Miss Cole caftie . to her house she was 23 or 24 years of age, and she had no previous acquaintance with her. She was brought by Mr. Charles Dickins, - a young and single man, who lived about three miles from Coleshill. Ile occasionally visited the plaintiff. for ,about two months. She never found him in Miss Cole's bed-rooni;, - nor - remonstrated with her on finding_ him there; but she did remember their quar relling, and told Miss Cole she had, better be friendly with him; or-give - up his acquaintance ; upon which she replied, that the would do as the'llked, and please-herself." Letters had passed between them Which were given • up two or three months after . "Illiss Cole came as a lodger. Mr. Dickins had nothing to do with the arrangements for her board ; he merely brought her; she was a stranger, and Mr. Dickins came to in quire if she could be acconmodated with board and lodging. 1 - le was not, to the knowledge of the witness, a relative ; but came frequently to visit her, and remained some hours. On being pressed whether Mr. Dickins had gone to Miss Cole's bed-room, the witness said that he was_ once going up stairs to speak to her, but that she prevented him. They used to go out together, but the witness did not know. that they ever walked out alone. She remembered Mr. Dickins making an arrange ment to go away with- the plaintiff, but did not know where they were to proceed. She .did not go, though Mr. Di c ki ns came; and ow - this morning - Sh e gave up her letters, - basin g ' wished the witness to prevent her from going. When the witness discovered that Miss Cole was pregnant, She desired her to quit her house. She did not know of her condition long before she left. She - never saw the defendant in her room but once, and that was, on the morning . When the letters were returned to Dickins.• Mr. Dickins called an hour after Mr. Twigger had.retired. Mr. Twigger had requested to speak with Miss Cole, in her room, and remained about ten minutes. ;bout an hour after he went. rned out, Mr. Dickins came iax r i i ob n c , tare s hos l i e ,ilg t r t d: e , ct r er s ; ; ,. he returned none. She was brought to bed on the 10th of Sep tember, 1n24, and continued . at Coleshill. The witness turned leer out of the house about a fortnight before her confinement, suspectingher condition.

John Parker, a clergyman, who was an associate of the COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 4. wmulfLY v. PEAR3ON. Thiewas an action to recover damages for a breach of pro mise of marriage. • r. Sergeant PEEL stated the case to the Jury. The plain tiff was a young-woman in - humble life, which made her set tlement by marriage of the utmost importance. The defendant was engaged in the ironmongery business, and had paid his addresses to the plaintiff for the last four years, pro mising on several occasions to marry her. No doubt, at the time lie made • these premises, he intended to perform them, but why he altered his intention would, perhaps, hereafter appear. Several verbal promises were given, but he should depend for the proof of the promise upon a letter, in . which the defendant desired the plaintiff to have the bans pub lished without delay. Previous to this, however, tke plairitiff had became enceinte, in consequence of the intercourse w hi c h had untiiftunately taken place between thent ; but the dis covery of this circumstance, however, by no means seemed to alter the state of the defendant's affection ; indeed, it seemed less a change on his part than a weakness in yielding too much to the direction of others; but as he had been the means of in juring The reputation of the plaintiff in some degree, she now threw herself on the protection afforded by the law's of her country, and he trusted the Jury would give damages com mensurate to the injeity Sustained. The,grandmotheref the plaintiff was then called, and piOve4 that several verbal promises of marriage had been'given in her presence; but that the defendant had since broken off the match on pretence that his parents would not give their consent. The letter was also put in and read, distinctly requiring the plaintiff to have the bans 'published. In the course of the grandmother's croits.examination, it came out that the plaintiff kept company with one Lane, and other men, going with them to dances, private theatres, &c. And also, that the d e fendant o nce sa id h e wou ld marr y ier with the consent of his parents. Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the Jury for the defendant. He put it to them to say, whether the promise made was not: in all probability conditional, viz., that the defendant had the consent of his parents. That consent had been refused upon the best possible grounds, as they themselves might judge from the admissions of the witness, concerning the lightness of the plaintiff's charaCter. No witnesses were called for the defence. • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and left it to - the Jury to say whether the promise was conditional ; if they thought it was, they would find for the defendant ; if otherwise, for the plaintiff. if they found for plaintiff; in estimating the amount of damages, they would of course take into their consi deration the light conduct of the plaintiff' with respect to the ►bun Lane., The Jury then retired, and after a deliberation of one hour, they found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damag es 51. • • Accounts from the Capital of Russia state, that on the sth ult. a terrible conflagration brokeout in Old reters burg, which reduced to ashes a great many merchants' houses, notwithstanding the swot active exertions on the part of the Pace. There are, however, punishments inflicted upon criminals which may be considerechts worse than death itself. Among these may be mentioned confinement for life, or even for fifteen or twenty years. I f there be something liOrrible in the idea of a violent and premature death, there is some thing dreadfully sickening, in that of either spend= . ing the remainder of the immured. ,within the gloomy walls of a dark and noisome. dungeon, or wasting within these same walls the mostvalua' ble years Of our lives. PtiniShinentS combining cruelty with disgrace, may lie considered - wise as worse than death,. s'itire,'at the same time, , that they degrade thi! sufferet:, they impress.upon him a stamp of infamy, which he can never more .. eradicate, and which must hold hi m up to scorn during the remainder of his existence... In this regard they are perhaps, preferable toTapital pu-., nishment in allcaseiOf heinous offences, or of,thow serious crimes which the welfare and existence of • society require should be treated with 'the titritost! • severity of the law. But - beneath the 'ApeciouS,. veil of an aversion to the shedding of blood, a n absolute monarch may often inflict :punishritent?„ worse than.death could he to the mutilated suf.:. ferer. This is strongly exemplified in the coTo.. duct of the Empress "Elizabeth of Russia towards Madame Laponkin. This Princess had expressed her determinatio:, not to condemn any of her subjects to the penalty, of death ; Madame Laponkin, the most Iseautiful woman of her time, was perivaded to enter •int - a conspiracy agaiiii;t tier Sovereign, which was deteCted. Elizabeth, faithful to her promise, : did not condemn any of the conspirators . to . die; but glad of an opportunity . of punishing a female whose charms she envied, condemned her to the dreadful and humiliating punishment uf . the knout. How this was inflicted I will gi% c here in the words of Lord Kames,in his sketches of the History of Man • "At the place of execu ti on , s h e appeare d in e. . genteel undress, which heightened' her beauty.
