Mary Chapman, the wife of the last witness—At one time
the defendant had leR 100., and other sums at other times,
bet never more than Ild. at once. On one occasion he told
her harmed that he would give him 11. if he could get
Hannah (the plaintiff) to take 101. to make it up. She
refused to do this, and the defendant gave her husband a
penny. (A laugh.)
John Spence said that he had heard the plaintiff called
Mrs. Slimmon in the pretense of Mango, and at first he
believed they were married.
Mr. Adolphus, a surgeon, proved that he had attended
the plaintiff at the request of the defendant.
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins then addressed the jury for the de-
fendant, and made some severe comments upon the
character of the plaintiff, and he read the following docu-
ment which she had signed:—
" 16th August, 1810.
"In consideration of sundry sums of money received
from Mango Slimmon, of Lambeth-road, from time to time,
and also what I have this day received, I hereby exonerate
the said Mango Slimmon from all further claims, both di-
rectly and indirectly.—As witness my hand,
ii•NNAtt 000DILICK."
Samuel George Boyd said that he saw the plaintiff about
last Christmas, when she said the defendant was going to
Scotland to get married. Witness had connection with her
in the kitchen of the defendant's house. Ho recollected
that, about Christmas, she came home with the defendant in
a vehicle, and he believed she was intoxicated.
Cross-examined—lie knew some swell-mobsmcn, and had
been frequently in their company, but had not, in conse-
quence, been spoken to by the police.
Robert Rigg was a servant of the defendant whilst
the plaintiff was in the house, and he slept with him all the
time. Plaintiff had frequently come into their room whilst
he was undressed as well as dressed, and whilst his master
was there. Witness had remonstrated with her for it. She
was dres ed. He also recollected when Mrs. Baker and
Miss West came to the defendant about the plaintiff, and
he sell he never intended to marry her. The body of the
Maisest which bad been read was written by Boyd's
idea.
Mary Slimmers, a sister of the defendant, said that the
plaintiff called at his house about the 12th August, and
said that if he did not give her money before her confine-
ment she would take further proceedings against him. Wit-
ness said "Don't do that, but call upon him and he will pay
you." Saw her again in two or three days, when she said
she had been with witness's brother and got some money
and signed an agreement. Witness asked her if defendant
had promised to marry her, and she said be had not.
Mr. Serjeant Chadwicke Jones then replied, and com-
mented in strong terms upon the evidence which had been
given by the defendant.
The jury, however, stopped him by announcing that
they had made up their minds ; and after a short summing
up from his lordship, they found a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages 20/.
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins then said, speaking from instruc-
tions which he had received, that he trusted that nothing
which had been said by the witness Boyd would be allowed
to reflect injuriously upon the character of the plaintiff.
BINIINZSIS 07 TIM COURT,
. .

The Chief Josllee,ltTtioeori;;;c4ti;day, said that it
was very desirable, if possible, to try all the CRUM set
down for trial, so that there might be no remanets. It
must not be supposed that there being a possibility of doing
this was because of the inroads made upon them by the
county courts, for there were many more cues entered for
this sitting than usual, there being 15 more cues entered
than there was for the same sitting last yea►, and there had
not been one undefended cue on the list.
