iSilly Day. I never heard my daughter my so. I newer
heard her say the defendant was an big a fool as old Jake&
When Weston and his wife mewed the house after his mar-
riage my daughter could hardly mamba herself. She In-
structed the attorney herself to bring this action the day after
the delendanee ' . What sort of a person is the &-
headline ? Well, I thin he to a very sober, steady, nropectsble
gentleman. I was never present when it wee proposed that
the iltillra between them should be returned or destroyed. I
did barmy daughter say that the defemdant had pat her
letters Into a cupboard, and the mice had sates mote of
them. (Laughter.)
Mr. Jainee—They were so sweet, I nippier. (Great
lau4*ter.)
Witnese—Fm sure I cannot my bow sweet they were.
Samuel Chamberlain examined—l am the plaintiff's
father. Thedefendant is • meet respectable man. He has
held al/ the °Mom in the pariah, such as guardian and over-
seer. We regarded the defendant during his courtship es
one of the family. We made ;separations for the marriugi
in February. Fie holds two farms of about 230 scree. The
value of his stock is about 61. per acre. He has • farm at
Cosby, for which I bid him 601. an acre. Do you know
thedefendant's writing ?
Mr. James-.-We do not dispute the letter. Nobody could
forge the writing or the spelling either. (Laughter.)
Cross-examined—l never said that the defendant was as
Ws a fool as Billy Day. I swear I never heard it maid In my
presence. Ido not know whether my daughter went to see
the defendant after he had written to decline marrying her.
My daughter told me that the defendant's farm was not
mortgaged. I never heard him my that it was.
U=te Parsons, farmer and rimier' who had known the
s family for 20 years, proved that the plaintiff and
theng defendant always acted towards each other mil they were
goi
Crom-ammined—Then was every appearance that they
were going to be married these two years back.
Mr. James—How do you mien every appearance ?
Witmer—Well, according to the way, you know, as is
Fatallyother the ow. (Laughter.) They were very affectionate
to each

Mr. irzers:—A. *wag cantrast, I suppose, to what it is
attar marriage?
Witness—No; a skaeg contrast to what it is said it la
afterwards. (Gnat laughter.)
Mr. James—Are yon a relative of the plaintiff ?
Witness--I am not

Times Apa e xam ined—l have known both the
plaintiff end defendant for some yawn In 1866 I said to
Mr. Weston, " When la this little event to take pleoe P" He
s "I'm ready." and I " Why don't you pt it off
thee r (Laughter.) He maul, " 'That is what I want."
They assured to be on very affeethelete terms. After this
action was brought, I met hire in Leloseter-warket. I said,
"Mr. Weston, you've got married 1" Ha eal, "Yes • they
ere going to play the devil with me now—liwri have
sent a lawyer's dark fourteen miles altar ma to
mere emit, but I know the law as well as they do, they
ain't touch me before the letter end of June or July, and
before that I shall be all We." Since then he has left Key-
ham, and has had a isle.
Croes-examined-1 do not know that • person had • mort-
gage on his property, and put in a bill of sale.
Mrs. Badreley, a widow, who resides at Crow Lodge, eight
or nine miles from Seem's, peeved that the plaintiff and the
defendant visited her lye or sty them. About twelve
months ego the delsodent asked her to tem to the wedding,
as they were going to be marrkd. They behaved like lovers
towards one mother. The defendant asked the plaintiff to
go and buy some feminine at a ails, and suggested that
witness should go with her, but she declined, and the plaintiff
mid perbape her mother would go. .

Crieweiamined by Mr. JaLee—l wu not toy be the
bridesmaid. (Laughter.) lam too !sr gomi En ears for
that. I thought It was a very long courtship. In Christmas,
1866, I got a drew reedy (or the wedding. I cannot my
why it did not come off. I never heard Mies Chamberlain
say why her marriage did not come off in 1866. She did not
complain to me that it did not owns off.
Richard Chamberlain, the phintira broths, that
in 1848 the defendant had invited him and the tiff to tee.
The following letters, written by the d t to the
plaintiff, were then put in evidence
