Mr. Dishy Seymour. Q.C., far the plaintiff, mid that the
defendant was the oo of a thriving yarn manufacturer
(Taylor and Co.), at Galax, near Huddersfield. The defen-
dant and Elizabeth Cmlanes, plaintiff's daughter, bad been
schoolfellows, and this friendship was uuotioued until

make Ls his wife. The girl returned to Liverpool, end up

devoted loror. to this month, however, he took advantage
of the confidence repined in him and of • moment of
weakness. and tho result was that the girl became ea:elate.
On disoorcnng her situation she implored him not to ruin
her character, bat et once to fix the marriage day. The de-
!indent Et first made a discreditable proposal to Miaa Cab-
tree, which wee at ogee rejected, and after treatiag the matter
with en unworthy lightness for some time the defendant
evinced a better disposition. He called upon Mies Crabtree,
told her sot to hot, and it was ultimately arranged that
they should he married on the lost Wedoesd■• in the
following November, at Haddanfield pariah church. The
bride was all ready at the appointed time, but the bride-
groom never appeared. In December a child was bora, anti

body that her health was permanently injured, while •
serious disgrace had been cast upon her family.
Elizabeth Crabtree having beau called described the at-
tentioee which had been paid to bee by the defendant, and
the smaraoons which he bad from time to time made of his
lunatics' to marry her.
Evidence wee gives of the Des is baiter which the
plaintiff had sualeteed by the withdrawal of his daughter's
service..
