THE LILY OF WORCESTER.

Worcester, town of porcelain and gloves, has
lately been thescene of a. charming little romance.
Mr. Thomas Bomford (the name is not heroic), a
farracr'o con, oar' upvii Worcester race-course a
certain Miss Fanny Davies. She has for a father
a journeyman shoemaker. Racing promotes exhi-
laration : so does champagne, drunk on the top of I
a drag. Thomas fell violently in love with
Fanny—made her some slight present—and a
week after wrote her a letter, asking her to meet
him at Deptford Station. Thither she came,
carefully guarded by papa and mamma : and
from that time the two " parties " kept company.
Then there were letters of the regular sort ;
letters in which he told her that she was " his
life," " his own dearest treasure," that " every
day was a month till he saw her again." Fanny
being fair to look upon, the poetical Bomford
called her Lily : and, what with quoting verses
and the introduction of " thousands of kisses," his
letters must have been as nice to read as any
young lady could wish.
Well, the courtship was broken off—it is not
quite clear in what Way. Then comes fierce
action for breach of promise. Then it turns out,
in Court, that Miss Davies has previously been a
plaintiff in a similar action, against a tanner with
the appropriate name of Skinner. It is " pretty
Fanny's way." In March 1857, nearly eight
months after Mr. Bomford had found his Lily
on Worcester race-course, Mr. Skinner had
settled the said action by paying £54 to Mr.
Clutterbuck, the Lily's attorney. Mr. Huddle-
ston, defendant's counsel in the present case,
denounced it as "an attorney's action," and said
that Mr. Clutterbuck was the only person who
wept during Mr. Serjeant Pigott's pathetic speech.
The jury found for the defendant, " to the evident
surprise of nearly every person in Court." The
surprise is not unnatural. Honest jurymen with
tender hearts can't bear the sight of broken
Lilies—and generally try to mend their stems
with heavy damages. But the Worcestershire
jurymen seem to have been hardhearted brutes:
and the only person with any feeling at all is the
sensitive Mr. Clutterbuck. If Mr. Huddleston's
statement be true—if Mr. Clutterbuck really did
weep—he is a tender-hearted attorney indeed.
To him" shall. we go for consolation if any fickle
young lady should jilt us.
Cases like this show clearly that the action of
Breach of Promise should be abolished. They
are amusing to read, doubtless : but in nine cases
out of ten the plaintiff is successful, and the
, unlucky defendant is mulcted in damages and
costs. His own fault, of course : there are some
verdant youths who can't help wanting to marry
every pretty girl they see. But it is the duty of
a young lady and of her parents to prevent hasty
engagements, and to • ascertain the character of
the suitor : and, when a defendant wantonly
breaks faith, the plaintiff and her friends ought
to be grateful for her escape from a scoundrel—
who cannot be punished without an exposure

New Invasmon.—Tne Naw FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the
