I)3II.EACii OF 10-E MARRIAGE
- • • ' CASE.

BEACHET V. BROWN.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury, at EXeter.)
This was an. action for ,breaCh. of promise of marriage.
The circumstances; as they_ appeared, from the learned
counSel'S oPening, Were as follows :—The plaintiff,
Elizabeth Beachey, is a young lady of twentirsix,years
of age;. and •ihe daughter of a' gentleman of • soirib pro-
perty itsiding, at Beach;park, near No-ivten, in tfiis
'cotuity ; "andithe defendant,' Mr. 13rown, is a gentle-
man of about the same age, residing at Barton-hall,
near -Torquay.- The families had been'; acquainttd
Ivith each other, and had exchanged visits from time to
time, arid. had met at various parties in'the neighbour-
of an Ordinary description.. Miss Beachey had two years
before been engaged to a. gentleman named Yeals, who
had gone to Australia for a ,month.or two, when he was
to return; and then they were :to be married, but from
that time to this he'had never been heard of, and MisS
Beac4ey considered the engagement entirely at an end.
On'the 4th of June Miss Beachey received.the following
letter from Mr. Brown

. . "Barton-hall, Saturday.
• My. Deariss Beachey,l.have. kildwn 'you for a
long time, and-have always_ had the greatest regard for
you, which has now changed for love. .Will you allow
to offerlyob ifiy add 'hand bo 'Write soon,
and say, if you can return my love. I remain, dear
Misi-BeachT;.yOturd truly ' L, 43.n0w1."
:`'T" A,• , •is
kis`)Beaphpy consulted her father, and wrote a reply,
saying she 'would' wish' to see more of Mr. Brown
_before giving a final answer. Ultimately the proposal
was accepted, ; and, Mr.l Brown was 7xeleiTed as the
accepted suitor
,of Miss. Beachey. • •Mr.. Brown. expressed
',his. wish "to be - married very shortly, and that the
ceremony should take place in London. Mr. Beachey's
family went 'to' London to be . prelent at the
Handel Festival, and, was,arranged. that Mr. Brown'
should join, them in london on Sunday,
_the, 19th of
!tine. 'However, the defendant •did hot arrive, arct
on the 24th' of June the plaintiff's father received a
letter from Mr. D'Arcy, a solicitor at ..Newton Abbot,
and a partner of the plaintiff's brother, ,stating that
he had had a communication with `Mr. BroWilf•
:and he wishal him r,to inform Mr. Beachey 'that
ilid affair with Miss Beache_y must he considered
off, as he had heard that she was still corresponding
with a ,gentleinan in Australia,. 'Miss. Beachey Wrote,.
Stating that theretwas no ground for the charge, and
requesting Mr. Brown to call and explain Matters. Mr..
Brown did not call, hut a long correspondence took
place, Mr.' Brown alleoing that he was not aware of the
engagethent: of Miss Beachey at the time he made- the'
promise, and ultimately refused to perform the engage-
ment. Under these,,eilcumstan9es:thp present action
was brought. ,--x4r, I
Mr. and Xis. Be;they'-werd called in support of the
:ease, and proved the facts as above stated.
;`.Mr. M. Smith addressed the jury for the defendant,
and rested on thesathe grounds as contained in the letters
—that Mr.- BrOwn was riot aware of Miis iieachey's
previous engagement. ,
Mr. Baron Martin left the question to the jury as to the
amount-of -damages, and they, found for the plaintiff—
•
Damages, £750. ;

THE DAY'S NEWS. '

In the House of Commons yesterday afternoon
Mr. Locke King moved the second reading of the
Religious Worship Bill, intended to give liberty
to clergymen to celebrate divine worship in any
locality, without the permission of the bishop or
of the incumbent of the parish.. After a discussion
in which many of the honourable members took
part, the House divided, and the bill was lost by
168 to 131.. The return of Colonel Luke White
-for. Clare was reported to be:void, in consequence
of bribery; though it was not prOi-ed that he
was cognisant thereof. The Marriages Bill
passed through committee, the restriction of 'its

operation: to England having been affirmed by
101 to SR...Claims *ere put for Ward for the
application of the bill to Ireland and Scotland.
Every felegrafiffrom I6ly keeps adding to the
overwhelming majority of the votes in Tuscany
and the other States for annexation to Piedmont.
Those for a separate kingdom have continued just
sufficient to make the majority appear all the
more signal and imposing. The armies are, all
but unanimously, on the popular side. Annexa-

tion may therefore be considered as having been
ktnost- triumphantly secured. The exact numbers
of the whole votes, however, would not be ascer-
t.:-:-A
As the Governor-General of Canada, in opening
the Provincial Parliament the other day, took
occasion to state, in connection. With the' mention
of her Majesty's reply to the invitation given, last.
session, that the Prince of Wales
.might• ba
expected in that colony dUring the ensuing stim-
mer,:we suppose it' may be taken for.granted that
this liOyal visit is really about to, be paid. It is
certainly a most judicious curse to pursue, thtiti°
to bring the Heir-Apparent into personal inter-
course with his future colonial subjects; and there .
can be no reason, one would think, why her
Maje'sty ether. North American tolonies may not
be visaed' also. We would fain hope, indeed,
that the:, -Prince will still further extend his
transatlantic travels, by' visiting. the United
States. There• is no doubt' whatever that his
Royal HighnesS would meet with a most Cordial,
nay, enthusiastic reception, whether in New
York or in
,Washington; .and such'an inter Change
of good feeling as the visit would give rise to
could not but have the best effect, in cementing
still more closely duf friendship with' that great
republic.

We give in 'another column some important
and, seasonable suggestions, • which have been
addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer by
an influential Committee of London merchants,
regarding, several of the' proposed provisions of
the netv, ,Customs Act. They show, that with'
'respect to the. proposed 'charges upon packages
of imported goods, various articles of import
and , export will be subject to severe and
, unequal: pressure ; while •no sufficient indiCa-
tion has been given of the mode by which
the tax is proposed to be collected: With respect
to the resolution providing for warehousing
_charges, they show that such charges are too
high, and susceptible of alteration ; reminding
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that they are
charges upon dutiable articles which form !I!'
appreciable addition to the , Customs luties.
already fixed by Parliament.
