Col Cheeks Colin Blame appealed against an order of
Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, adjudging him to be the
father of an illegitimate chid, born at Little in France.—
Mr. Serjeant Adams said that as the child was bola in a
foreign country, aid an Englishman charged as the father
in an English court of lustice, certainly a very nice question
of law arose ea to wheth, r the putative father was liable or
cot—Mr. Ballantine, for the respondent, said that was the
mein plat setae case.
Mr. Peaty then called the vespondent, a fashionably-
elliked rang Frenchwoman, who had a child in her arms.
She stated that the child was bora near Lisle, and that t.. 31.
Blue was the father. She had lived in England twelve or
thirteen yeses. Her mother lived at 14, Suffolk-street, but she
lived with Madame Davies, a milliner, in Oreseenorstre
B tndstreet. She first knew Col. Blanc in 1846. He lived
at No. 16 in the e.ms street, neatly opposite to Madame
Davies', se that ha could easily see her as she went in and
out of the house. He first accosted her at Madame Davies'
door. Subsequently he used frequently to speak to her ; and
in about eight months afterwards she used to call upon him
at his chambers, nasally on a Sunday moles, and remained
with him alone three, four, and five hours together. She
was mined on the 4th of April last, and returned to
England on the 21. t or 22nd, leaving the child in the
mire of a wet-nurse. Before she went to France
she applied to the colonel for aseistanos, bat he refused to
render any. She had received a great number of letters
from him. Those produed were in Ms handwriting. She
did not mention to him the fact of her pregnancy till two
maths and a fortnight before she was confined. When she
seenesed to England she called upon the colonel, in com-
pany with her cousin, Ferdinand Muller. She told the
abed, is her cousin's presence, that she had bad a child,
and that he (the colonel) was the father. The colonel asked
Mr. Haller to retire, which be did, sad then be told her that
it wee mush more likely that the child was the cousin's than
his. She then called Muller heck, and repeated to him
visit Colonel Blue had said. (Nevem her combs denied
the allegation. Celueel Blanc had seen her with
Miller at Jullien's concert, on the 15th of Geut-
her. Muller did not arrive in England until
July, 1847. She challeng d the colonel to deny that
he had received her in his rooms for three or four years, but
he did net deny it; and he asked how much money it would
Übe to set her lap io business u a milliner. He asked her
what money she had? She replied, " Enough for the pre-
mat." He said he would not forgive her for telling het
family of what had occurred. A number of letters were here
put in. They were not dated ; but enulves were put in to
snow that the witness revolved letters in '46, '47, and '4B.
They were affectionately written, commencing generally
"Ha eters Sophie," "Ma tees-chere Sopt ie." They wersl
written in ENglisb and In French, but were invariably
signed " Charles."
• Cries entwined: All the letters came to me by post. I
first went into the colorises rooms in 1816. Nothing improper
took plans until fifteen months before Ike birth of the child.
Neverwm in the colonel's bedroom in 1846. Never oaten the
sofa in the airing. room. He was very kind and attentive
to me. He used to read and tell stories to amuse me. He
is twice my owu age. Muller is my junior by one or two
