Prince of Armenia taking lodgings for Mn. Mitchell. lie
ctinstently visitid her during the five days she was in my
house.
Lord Campbell did not think it would be necessary to
trace Mrs. Mitchell through all her lodgings.
Mr. James would only call the most material witnesses.
Mrs. Luandale was then examined-1 live at Trevor-ter-
race. I know the defendant. In January, 18.53, he called
upon me. He said that he had a very nice lady, and he
wanted me t• take her as a boarder. She came one Mon-
day is J y, 1813 She remained until the 14th March.
The defendant constantly visited her. I frequently beard
disputes between them. She said, " You have got me into
Ilia trouble, and I insist upon you getting me out of it."
William Pentecost—l am an assistaut to Mesas. Harri-
son, pawnbrokers, of %Vardour-street. A gentleman pledged
this watch for 1(11. I cannot distinctly say whether it wu
the defendant.
Mrs. Mailings was recalled, and proved that the watch
was Mrs. Mitchell's. . .

Mr James said he had other evidence, but after his lord-
suggestion he should not call it.
Mr. Macauley a:ldressed the jury for the defence. He
could not but condemn the course pursued by his learned
friend in calling upon them to give heavy damages, be-
cause the defendant was a foreigner. It was no part of a
jury's duty to read lectures upon immorality ; they had
only to consider the damage inflicted upon the plaintiff.
Now he would call attention to the evidence of the Rev.
Mr. Stanton. It was ;Asia, from what that witness said,
that the marriage had by no means been a happy one. It
was evidently an unhappy match, and they would take
that into consideration in coming to their conclusion.
Again, in what society did the defendant find her ? It was
nut in society or under circumstances which would lead
him to believe that she was a well disposed woman. He
wet her in the society of French refugees, conducting her-
self evidently in a light and frivolous manner. He must
have come to reside at Mrs. Mulling'. upon Mrs. Mitchell's
invitation; she was, therefore, equally guilty with the
Prince. It was not a case like these sometimes brought
into court, in which the happiness of • household was
destroyed by a dissolute man. As to the charts of Pawning
the watch, that had entirely failed. It was then for the
jury to say, not what amount would cover the injury sus-
Mired by Mr. Mitchell, but what was fit to be paid by the
defendant, considering his position and the position and
conduct of Mrs. Mitchell.
Lind Campbell said that the yid), qcoation for the jury to
consider was what damages they should give. It was evident
that Mrs. Mitchell did not conduct herself as she ought to
have done ; but the jury must consider, wader all circum-
stances, what sum would compensate for the injury in-
flicted upon the plaintiff by the defendant.
The jury having retired, after a short time came into
court, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—da-
maga, 7501.

DARLINO v. LOUD C. WiLLIBLEY.—ELECTIONEBRINO.
This was an action to recover 107 f. for goods supplitd.
The defendant had paid 401. into court, and aa to the rest
pleaded never indebted.
It appeared that the defendant was the conservative can-
didate for the borough of Windsor at the last election. Mr.
Darling was the keeper of the Ship Inn at that place, and
he brought this action to recover the sum above stated for
refreshments supplied to the roughs and committee-men of
Lord C. Wellesley. The roughs were men hired to protect
the cand.dates and voters, as there were so few police in
Windsor. The things supplied were generally ordered by
Mr. Vowlev, a member of Lord C. Wellesley's committee.
The defence was that Mr. Vowlse had no authority to bind
the defendant. _ _ _

The jury retired, end after an absence of more than as
hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 101., in addi-
tion to the 401. paid into court.
Mr. Shaw, the Chief Justice of Massachusetts, occupied a
seat upon the bench during a portion of the day.

COURT OF EXCREQUER.-YESTERDAT.

BITTC4OII AT NISI

TNE LAIRD CIIIII BMW( AND

SPECIAL JURIES.

WILSON a. DENISON, M.P.—SLANDER.
The Attorney-General said the court would not be
troubled with this matter. An unfortunate 'quibble had
taken place between two gentlemen, who were chairmen
and directors of two railway companies. Some arrange-
ment existed between the two companies, which led to •
misunderstanding, in the course of which the defendant
used language reflecting on the plaintiff—language is fact
bad been used on both bides which was much to be re-
gretted. Ile admitted, on the part of the defendant, that
he had used language much stronger than was called for ;
and he willingly withdrew altogether the expressions he
hail indulged in.
Sir P. Thesiger, on the part of the plaintiff, rejoiced to
find that the good feeling of the defendant, for whom he
entertained a sincere respect, had induced him to take the
course which he had now adopted. Ile had made use of ex-
pressions calculated seriously to affect the character of the
plaintiff. No doubt the language had been used by him in
a moment of irritation, but in consequence of the defen-
dant's high character, any derogatory expressions coming
from him would have the greeter weight. As those ex-
pressions had been withdrawn, the plaintiff ought to be
satisfied, his only object being to vindicate his character.
At the same time, he was bound to say, on basalt' of the
plaintiff, that if he had used any language which had occa-
sioned unpleasant feelings to the defendant, he wished to
say that it was far from his intention to cast any imputation
on his character.
The Chief Baron said he was sorry that the gentlemanly
and correct feeling which bad led to this result had not
been earlier expressed, so as to have saved the expense
which had beam incurred. The jury must find for the
plaintiff—damages 40s.
Verdict accordingly.
