There are 64 prisoners for trial in this county, but although a majority of the cabses appear upon the face of the calendar to be capital, yet none of them are thought to be of an atrocious nature. FATAL DUEL. ,Gilbert .Conry, an Officer is the 90(11 regiment, was capitally indicted upon the Coroner's build sition, for having, on the Bth of March last, in the parish of Plympton, in the county of Devon, wilfully and maliciously fired off and discharged a certain pistol, loaded with a leaden bullet, at William Llindes, also an Officer, and having thereby occasioned a certain wound, between the 10th and 11th ribs, whereof he died on the fol lowing day ; and Alexander Stewart was in dicted for having, with malice aforethought, aid . - ed, abetted, and counselled the said Gilbert Conry in the murder of the said Wm. 1-I.indes. Mr. DUNKIN, the Counsel for tha prosecution, observed, that he felt "it his duty briefly to state the circumstances of the case to the Jury, not that he - was aware.that they woulkaffect the lives of the prisoners - at the bar ; be shbuld therefore confine himself to a narration of the facts, without going One iota beyond them. It would remain under the direction of the Learned . Judge, whether on not those facts could be submitted to the consi deration of the Jury. The Gentlemen at the bar were Officers in the Army, and on the 6th of March they arrived at an ihn at Plympton, where their regiment was stationed.—During the even ing, another Gentleman arrived at the inn, and from something that occurred between them some inquiries were made by the party to know if they could go out of the house early on the following morning : and he should be able to prove that on the following morning, between five and six o'clock, they went out together, and that on the same morning the unfortunate Gentleman, (the deceased) was brought r in wounded, anti that he survived until the Sunday morning, and then ex- . pined. That he died in consequence of that wound he'should distinctly prove, and that he made a declaration at the time be was in a dangerous. state but he (the Learned Counsel) Aid not think he should be able to prove that he then con inhered himself in a dying state. Mr. Justice BORROUGH--" Unless you can prove that he was at this time in a dying s t at e, and that he conceived himself so to be, his evi dence cannOt be admitted." Mr. DUNKIN--" I in aware of that, my Lord. I shall be able to prove that the deceased went out with them, and that he returned wounded. Th ese are the only circumstances that affect the p i i soners, except the declaration of the deceased be fore he died." Mr. Sedeant PELL—" My Learned Friend, Mr. Dunkin, has been very candid alsd humane ; but I take the liberty to ask him if- litt can go to the Jury upon that evidence ?. The circumstances are briefly, as I understand, theSe—Mr. Conry is proved to have slept at an inn, nn:l with him there was another Gentleman who is not known. The next' morninr, they go out, and the Gentle man whose death we all (and particularly the Genilemen at •t he bar) deplore, is brought in, in a wounded state." Mr. Justice BURROUGII--" Is there any evi lence to pr ove that they were noon the spot ?" Mr. Du NKIN—" None, my Lord ; but there is roof of their going out together." Mr. Justice BußitouGH—" Nothing but their out idgetlier, ana raiinirrg with ti'e tronria Mr.'.IJUNKIN--." Nothing, my Lord, brit the circumstance of his having made a declaration in a dying state." Mr: Justice BuRROUGH—" That is not It' would be idle to go any farther this business: ‘Ve have heard all that can he priked, and suppose all that hits been stated should be proved, thete is nothing to affect the Gentle men tit the bar. I dare say the Grand- Jury were ofthii; Otiinion, or they would (4)1 have thrown out the bill of indictment laid before them. If there A•as any thing I could lay before the Jury, ‘vtinld MOSt readily do it ; but I know from read ing the depOSitions that there is nothing in them againSt the tiviitlemen at the Bar, ,and it would be quite idle to go auv 'farther in it." The Jury iminecilatelt found the prisoners Not SED cc-no-N. SMALL V. PARSONS. Mr. Serjeant PELL, as Counsel fOr the Plaintiff. in opening this - case to the Jury, stated that it was_ one of the most serious description, and he hoped many years would elapse before another of this description, would be brought forward in the county of Devon. - It was an action brought against the defendant by the plaintiff for the se duction of his daughter ; an d th e - d ec l ara tio n - stated, that the defendant did, in the year 1816, make an assault upon Elizabeth Small, and that he then seduced her, and thereby deprived the .plaintiff of her services.. He should not in .Iris address to the Jury attempt. to inflame their pas sions against the defendanti but it would be his duty to state to then) -the zireumstances of the ease, and to put before them as a witness, the young woman who had suffered by the infamous artifices' of the defendant. The plaintiff was a married man, who had five children ; he was a farmer, and a man of respectability, and he (the Learned Counsel) was informed by the instruc dons which lay before him, that he was a highly respectable person. Mr. - Baron GRAHAM, in summing np the case to the Jury, observed that in all transactions there were different shades of guilt and innocence ; and, the 3 limy were bound to look at the circumstances of the case, - and to draw therefrom the best con clusion they could, upon impartial mature consi deration. The - girl had told her story - In a plain and simple manner. It had been stated that it was the ordinary effect resulting from a casual in tercourse. He hoped the morals of the country were not in ruck a state of degeneration. Ifthey were, the laws must guard against them ; and - if men chose to travel into such a course of immo rality, it would be only right that they should pay forit.The.Jury found a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages lON. • LEICESTERSHIRE ASSIZES, Auo. 1. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. COOP,ER v. EVE RTON.. Mr. CLARKE opened this case to the following effect :—Gentlenien.of the Jury, I have had some experience in cases of, this nature; I. have beta(' many more stated in Courts of Justice ; but never did 1 hear of a case so aggravatedas the present. The plaintiff's father is a most respectable gvntle man in ‘Valcor, in this comity : he has children, four sons and four daughters : his sons are most respectably settled in life : one of them is married to a sister of 'the defendant ; three of the daughters are Married in highly respectable families ; the fourth is the unfottunate plaintiff in this case. The defendant is a young man in the same rank in life ; his father has left him a fortune . of 20,000/. ; he has been - at the University, and lives in the style of a gentleman. He openly paid his addresses to the plaintiff; it was the talk not Only of the family, hut of the neighbourhood, that they were to be married. In . the confi dence and affection of such a situation, be 'meanly destroyed her happiness and comfort in .life. In an unl,Tuartled moment she surrendered to him all that could render her respected, honoured, and happy in life. When he was called upon to perform his promise, he insulted her by brutally saying, he had unshod his horses anti turned them 'to grass : then be had a sprained leg ; at last, be could not at present, but' he would afterwards marry her but after the child had been born, and she was made the hapless victim of her own unguarded confidence and his infamous baseness, he tells her that she would get all that the•law allowed her, , two guineas for -lier lying-in, and 2s. 6d. a week for the maintenance of the child for seven years : he added, that to procure this, she must go before a magistrate, and swear the child his. He really trusted that the reluctance of the - plaintiffto appear in a court of justice would protect him. Conduct like this shocked by the very mention of it. Duly conceive this to be the case of a daughter or sister of your own. I know that my friend near me will make a powerful and eloquent - address to you for the defendant : but you form your verdict according to the evidence, and not according to any, speeches of his or mine ; I shall therefore lay the evidence before you, and confidently' eave the case in your hands, Elizabeth Weston, servant to Mr.'Cooper.—l saw Mr..Everton very often at my master's house. He always called for Mary, and then they' were alone together in the parlour. 1 considered biro her sweetheart. Seri VAUGHAN (in cross-examination)..— Soyou always put them together into a room ? No, Sir, he sat in the parlour, and she came 'in as soon as she was ready. Mr. CLARKFC.—TO, be sure that is, always tbi way in such cases ; at least, I think it Was so in my younger days, though 1 have almost forgot ten it. REDER.----Ayc,, in the : reign of George I. Mary Salisbury, also a servant, saw the de fendant often in the house, and heard him aslc for Miss Cooper. She considt red hint her lover, be cause he looked tender at her. Mr..READER. - Tindet Serjeant COPLEY.—No, no, she says tender. H enr y Cooper, brother of 'the plaiutiff, ivas convinced all along, While the.defentlant visited his sister, that he was tin terms of Matriage with her. He heard hint call Mrs. CooPir " Mo ther."

"Let Mar'st herself write mei .sad no other pels'on. 'I offered to marry her in January, February,' .in March., and in April, and she refused nie." The witness said, she now at Langton (her brother's hiise), and expects you according to your promise o'3 marry her. " No," said the defendant, " I have taken the shoes off my horses, and turned them to grass:"—" I will give you my hr,r•e."---." cannot ride, for I have sprained my leg." His sis ter, who waS present, said, '' You ought to marry her ; we'll get a chaise and go both together.",-- " No, I'll not go - to-day."--" Will you to-. morrow ?"—" tell that to-morrow."—" Wilt you next day."—" I'll tell on that day." -He then left his home, and witness could never see him again till .lanuarY• The plaintiff was brought to bed in August, 1316. He then said, that he 'had given up all thoughts of marriage now, , and that he would give her 2 guineas for her in-tying, .anal 2s. 6d. per week, for 7 years, which would al:. together amount to 701. Ha bad promised to settle 1001. a-year; but things were now changed* Witness said, that be spoke of 2000/. " Well: i 1 not that 1001. :it year ?" Hy had proposed that the pl-►intif should go to London, and he should meet here there and marry her. Ile now said nothing, but that he would pay 701. only she must swear befoie a Magistrate. The plaintiff has no farm, and keeps two bunters. Andrew Tealhy had gone along with the plain tiff to Littterworth, to see the defvtdant, in No vember last, when the following dialogue took place between the plaititiffnnd defendant t It is long since you have been to see me; I have come to see you, in order to know whether yo 4 are to marry me according to • your engagement:" " I have now given up all thoughts of marriage. 1 did buy wedding clothes, but I have. r now begmt to wear them; I offered to rant ry you iN January. February, - March, and April, and you refused " Mr:Evett on, is it likely that . I•could have re fused you, when 1 knew the . situation I was itt ?" Sergeant VAUGHAN.—Gentletnen of the Jury, I feel great pain and Much anxiety in addressing • you on ~this subject. Subjects of this kind are always painful . : the present is peculiarly so. It is distressing to say any thing against a female in such circumstances ; but duty -to my client obliges me.to say that the case, as stated by Mr. Clarke, and as represented by the evidence, is very highly .coloured.- In the first place,lecollect the dispa r:ty of age; she is . '2B; but not 32 ;. take the me dium 30. He is 24 or 25. Now this, then, is not the case of a- person advanced in years, tst't practised in the ways of the world, seduc ing H ,young, simple, and inexperienced" child..

Mr. Clarke .would hare opened her tip as tt,e greatest paragon that ever dazzled the gentlemen of Leicestershire : but not tine 'word have • volt beard .upon that point. My client is silly, foolish, and I will say, wrong : but if lie is -rich, would not this- family have thought the match a lucky one, paid hitn every attention, and given him every en couragewent such cirennkstunces, will ; y oia , give as great a price tot ally hotiiely piece of goods as for the finest commodity ? I:will,not say thiq he has been more sinned against than sinning t but !et the sin- be (many divided. Beware !tow yon encourage such entH.uents to simple young men. by your veldict, It -has been alleged that: client was.at.the Univerity. Wuere is the proof ? suppose he took, a scamper through Oxford with those !motels lie kept. He might have offe: - e,l tic marry in January, when .it‘•was possible to con ceal the disgrace of Miss. Cooper, - and have atter. wards refused, when that was not possible.. Sirs too might have refuse.! in January, when she was ,attached to another man, and this suppositi.o t may account .for his wishing her to swear this child to he his. At any rate; there Was a- call fur - .only mitigatcal damages. - Tlie:indge summed up with great -clearness anti impart iality. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One. Thousand Poun 's. HUNTINGDON.
