Mr. Hawkins made a very humorous speech in behalf of
the defendant, and said that this was the first time be
had ever been called upon to tax a milliner's Lill, which was
all he really had to do, for the defendant admitted having
taken the articles, and the only question was what was
their value. The defendant had no doubt acted foolishly,
but the thought+ of his former love induced him to desire to
keep these articles in remembrance of the object of his
affection ; and it was not until, on Valentine's day, of allothers in the year, he was served with no leas than four
valentines of the description spoken to, all arising out of
this one transaction, that he found what a very unpleasant
position he had placed himself in. (A laugh.)
The jury retuned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages
411., that being the full value claimed for the property.
