In a charge of embezzlement heard before Mr. Ingham,
the presiding magistrate, the constable who took the pri-
soner isle custody stated that he cautioned him as to
making any statement, that what he might say he should
I have to give in evidence against him. lie also grated that
the prisoner was about to make a statement, but after the
caution be remained silent with reference to the charge.
Mr. Ingham remarked that the police bad most extraor-
dinary instructions not to hear any statement a prisoner had
to make. He said it wee the duty of the police to shut
their mouths and to listen. They had no power to give a
caution. If a prisoner thought proper to make a statement
voluntarily it was the duty of the police to hear it.
Mr. Haynes, jun., who appeared ter the prisoner, said it
wasthe practios for the police to caution a prisoner, in order
that he might not make a statement unguardedly.
Mr. Ingham said it was • very foolish practice, and ought
not to be dose. Such a cootie', might interfere with the
ends of justioe. It was no part of police duty to take the
functions of • magistrate. They should simply take the
charge and say nothing.
The care then proceeded, and the recognisance'day of the
prisoner were taken for his appearance on • future .

. al the

question.
After some discussion the question was not premed.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Hawkins said there would be two questions for the
jury in this case, and use was a very painful one ; it arose
out of a replication which was upon the record, that the
plaintiff had been induced to exonerate the defendant from
his engagement by fraud. It could not be denied that
the defendant had promised to marry the plaintiff,
but in answer to this it would be proved that the
plaintiff bad released the defendant from his promise.
As to the alleged fraud, his lordship would in-
form the jury that the plaintiff herself was bound
to prove that plea, whilst in fact her counsel
had not predueed • tittle of evidence upon the subject. His
friend, Mr. Keane, had gone more into the romance of the
matter than he (Mr. Hawkins) could possibly do. He had
talked of the love of " young hearts," and appealed to their
experience ; but if he (Mr. Hawkins) had to put the matter
in his own homely way, he should say that they had, when
young, all made fools of themselves. (Laughter.) If be
himself bad been of the opposite sex, it was very likely that
his " young head" might have been overcome by the
eloquence of his learned friend, and probably if, Liter two
years and a half, his friend had oast him off, be might have
thought him such a wretch as the defendant had been
described today. (Renewed laughter.) The defendant's
correspondence ao doubt 000tained many affectionate
pummel, and it was hardly possible that it
should not, when its bulk was noticed. Why, it
was as big as two babies-00nd laughter)—and
certainly in all his experience he had never before
met with 496 brief sheets of love letters, written
within so short • space of time. Several of the letters of
the young lady during the earlier part of the engagement.,
as also the letter of her mother, pointed to the posei of
the potties later in life not agreeing so well as they thee bility
did,
and these sensible views it seemed anticipated what bad
actually occurred. The very engagement commenced almost
with a letter from the defendant, in which be expressed
the hope that any chance of sentiment on the pert of either
of them might be at once communicated to the other. It
was not suggested by any body that any other
young lady had attracted the attention of the de-
fendant, and es there was no cense of this kind
for the defendant breaking off the match they were obliged
to look elaewhero for the true canes. There was also no
apparent change of feeling down to the time that the de-
fendant arrived in England, for although Mrs. Rnmbelow
said the defendant's conduct seemed cold, she could not
state any specific thing in proof of her opinion. It appeared
that on the Saturday night the young lady and the defend.
ant had been alone in the drawing-room for half-an-hour,
but the law would not allow him to show what then took
place. It was plain, however, from two letters that a seri-
ous disagreement oiturred, and it was much to be regretted
that the matter wee not allowed, as bad been suggested, to
stand over, to see whether their views and their tempers
remained such as were likely to make an union
Lippy: The case for the defendant was, that at the
interview between him and the plaintiff on the Saturday
they had mutually agreed to release each other, though
from the date of the law it was impossible to prove whet
took place on that occasion ; but at all events there was no
doubt as to what occurred on the 26th April, for on that
day there waa written on a scan of paper these words :
"I, Charlotte Madeleine Rumbelow, consider that Henry
Whalley Nicholson is no longer engaged by ties or promises
made to me at any time previously ;" and this paper was
signed "Charlotte Madeleine Rumbelow." and was dated
in her handwriting, "26th April, 1865." He submitted
that this document put an end to the cabs; or, at all
events, that the young man having some over
from lodic on the 9th April, and the action having
been commenced on the 27th May, sufficient time had
not been allowed to perform the engagement. Failing all
other defences, he contended that, considering the youth of
the parties and tbe manner in which the eogagement had
been terminated, a small amount of damages would be
sufficient to meat the justice of the case.
The Lord Chief Justice said that there being no doubt
about tke promise of marriage, the two points which the
jury would have to consider were, whether sufficient time
had elapsed for the performance of the promise, and whether
the plaintiff bad released the defendant from his engage-
meet. As far as be knew, the plaintiff and the defendant
were still sincerely attached to ooe another, and but for
this adios intervening, they probably would have been
married the one to the other. As to the release,
there would be no release unless the parties had a mutual
mind that the engagement should be at an end.
The jury, after considering the matter for nearly two
hours, found that a reasonable time hail not elapsed for
the performance of the promise; that the plaintiff had
not discharged and exonerated the defendant from the per.
formance of his promise ; and as to the supposed discharge
being obtained by fraud they said, "We have no evi-
dence of fraud, but the jury think that the plaintiff should
not have been asked to sign such a document."
The Lord Chief Justice—The result of the first finding is
that the verdict is for the defendant
