" KISSES oy P.EACE."_

At the Leeds .asSia—e.S., on Monday. the Rev. T. Miller,
vicar of Heaton, near Bradford, brought an action for libel
and slander against Miss Swales, who was formerly his
schoolmistress. The libels complained of were statements
made by Miss Swales at an investigation by Bishop Ryan
of charges of immorality brought against the plaintiff,
who, she swore, had kissed her on several occassions. and
had also taken other liberties with her. Plaintiff totally
denied the allegations, but in croas-eiuimmation by Mr.
Waddy be admitted he had once kissed Mrs. Keile, •
schoolmaster's wife, and Ruth Tuck, a girl aged 15. Ile
kissed Mn. Keile because he had spoken crossly to her
husband and wished to be forgiven, and Ruth Tuck, to
please his little boy. Those kisses were what he called
kisses of peace, and were imparted on the cheeks
(laughter). He denied having kissed other females. Miss
Swales, a preposessing. Isdy like person, underwent a
long examination. She swore that plaintiff had several
times kissed her and taken other liberties with her. it
could not be helped he said where there was love. The jury
could not agree, and were discharged at eleven o'clock.

A CONSIDERATE BUT INJURED FAIR ONE.
At Warwick, last week before Mr. Justice Lindley,
the cause of Lester v. Bishop was heard. This was an
action for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff
was a wcman of somewhat homely appearance. aged
43; the defendant a widower, with grown-up children,
owning a small farm in Leicestershire. In the begin-
lug of the year 1874 the plaintiff went as housekeeper
to the defendant at wages of £2O a year. After being
there a few weeks she left, as she said, because the
defendant tried to seduce her, and got another situation.
While there she got a letter, saying, "I either want a
Ii msekeeper or a wife; I should prefer the latter, and
if you think well, you can have the chance, and I am
sure you will never regret it" After some corres-
pondence, in which ale did not give much encourage-
ment, the plaintiff eventually returned in November,
1874, to the defendant's house as housekeeper. Shortly
after this the plaintiff's father died, and the defendant
accompanied her to the funeral, a distance of some ten
miles from his house. He gave her then, according to
her statement, a pair of gloves, some spoons, and two
bottles of wine. After this they returned to the
lefendant's, awl his case, supported by several
witnesses, was that the plaintiff gave way to drink and
misconducted herself as housekeeper. She said that
the defendant tried to borrow her money, awl because
she refused to let him have it changed his conduct
towards her, and threatened "if he could not kill her
by wholesale to do it by inches. It was, however,
undoubted that on the 12th of February, 1875, there
was a quarrel, and the defendant threw a loin of pork
at the plaintiff and hit her on the shoulder, and that
she then left his house and went home. After she had
gone the spoons were missed, and a lawyer's letter was
written to her, which had the effect of bringing them
back in a parcel. Several letters were written by the
plaintiff to the defendant, in which she threatened to
come down upon him if ever he married another
woman." This he did towards the end of last year,
and the plaintiff in the box said, " I believe he was
married the day 12 months after he brought me back
to his home. I let them spend their honeymoon, and
then began the action." The plaintiff became ex-
ceedingly angry under cross-examination, and gave the
defendant a character for having a very had temper
and a good property, on both of which points, as on
every other,except the fact of his having made her an
offer of marriage, she was contradicted by the defend-
I ant, who said, as to that, that she never accepted his
I offer. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages £l5O.
