would have virthally the exclusive maasgement of this peo

he would ham the whole 'management of the property dur-
ing a ling samessies ef minoritim. The new will, there-

great object appeared to be to get rid of Mr. Thomas P.

The moment the breath was out of the testator's body his
coffers were ransacked by the three trustees in a manner
which peodused a strong impression on the son of Dr. Fox,
who was then &young man. Dr. Fondled soma yon ago,
and had not been examined under a commission.
In "spree of the plaintiff's ease several witnesses were
called, who expensed their decided opinion that the testator
was insane when he made the will. Amongst °then, were
Dr. Pon, of Derby, Dr. Moore, Dr. Conolly, Dr. Forbes
Winslow, and also Major-General Sir Thomas Bainbrigge,
a brother of the testator's.

FOSTER O. HOWERD.—SEDTCTION.
This was an action to recover compensation in demur.
for lose of service, through the seduction of the plaintiff's
daughter by the defendant. The defendant pleaded not
guilty, and that the plalatiff's daughter wee not kis servant.
Mr. Montague Chambers, Q C., and Mr. Lash were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. &duet Wilkins for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a k maker employed es the Great
Northern Railway, and lives at West Bernet. The defendant
is also a brick maker, living at Hadley, is shoat 40 years of
age, a minded mat, end the lathe? of four children. The
seduction complained of took place under the circumstance'
deluded in the following evidence :
Mary Asko Foster deposed th et she is the second daughter
dim plaintiff, who has eight children, and lives at West
Bitemitt. The defendant lives at Hadley, and was on friendly
twine with her father. In the course of last year the defen-
dant obtained permission from the plaintiff to take his
, who is about 17 yes,' of we, to live at his house
dismltTp company with his wife. I went (continued the
witness) on the last day of September. The defendant came
to fetch me in his gig about 6 wk in the events,. No one
was with us. I did not knowe way from my father's to
defendant's house. On passing through Barnet the defendant
asked me to go iota the Salisbury Arms to take some wine.
I said I did not want any. It was then quite dark. He drove ly
the wrong road, and alter we bad proceeded some way he put
hie hand on my knee*. I then said I should go home,
apes which he desisted, returned beck, and drove home to
his house. When I got there I saw his wife. The defen-
dant is airiet 40 yean or age and has four children, the
eldest of whom is 10 years old. I slept oar the kitchen.
The defendant and his wife slept in a room above me. I
had beets there about a fortnight, when the defendant came
I ire my room. between 6 and 6 o'clock in the morning, for
sews gig cushions. I was asleep when he entered. and
when I awoke I found him Bitting on the side of my bed.
He asked me to go to London, and to go and see the play
with him. I said " No, I don't want to go to the play. '
Ins then hew wnotling with are. I got out of bed and
add I would tall Mrs. Howard, and he said, "Oh, don't
tell Howard." I went towards the door, it was shut.
He held it and would not allow me to go out. He stood
with his beck to it. I said I should cell our, H. told ena
not to do so, and then threw me on the bed and seduced
me. He wain asked me to go to London. I refuted, and
he left the house in about live minutes. About ten days
after he same Into the room again. I was not asleep.
Mr. Burn Platt—Did you expect him ?
Witness—Oh, so ; not at all. It was between five and six
o'clock. He spoke first, and asked we If I would go to
London with him. Re sail he would give me a gold watch
and a satin dress, and asked me if I would have some money.
I said I had some. He then seduced me again. I said he
had ruined me. He remained In the room 'Soot 10 minutes.
Ho was dressed on each occasion, except that he wanted his
wet. Mrs. Howard got up about S o'clock. I remained in
ite house three weeks after that. He took no further
liberties with me. I returned home by the rash. After I re-
tuned home the defendant asked me to go bulk to his house. I
said " No, mother; I shall not go back." Upon which my
wither said, "You have no omission to go beck, if you don't
like." I had not then told any one how I had been used.
I was confined at Barnet oa the 12•11 of July. I told my
mother on the 15th of March that I was in the family way.
My father has not spoken to me einoe.
Crosseaantined-1 was 17 on the doh of July. I had left
school two years when I went to defendant's house. lan
silted in keeping my father's ham. I know a man who
takes we of the horse. I have °ever bees in the stable with
him. After the seduction took place I said nothing of it to
Mrs. Howard; nor to the servant,who slept on the same floor
with them. During the seven weeks I was in defendant's
house I went home twice. I did not say a word about the
seduction to any one. My bedroom window looked into the
'table yard. I did not scream out when the defendant at-
tempted to seduce re. It was only about ten steps to Mn.
Howard's bedrooms. I breakfasted with Mrs. Howard on
both occasions. I said nothing to her. The coach paned
the house daily, bat I did not go home. I did not scratch
the defendant. My father did not threaten to punish me if
I did not tell him who the father was. Between the period
et the two seductions I never called the defendant Isis the
room. I did not on one occasion give him a his. while at
breakfast. His little boy did not say be would tall his mo-
ther. I did not on any Wail= give the bay a fourpenny
piece to induce him not to tell. I did not tell the .anent
that the defendant " wu a poor tool and of no nes to any
one." I know a man named —; ho mine to our home.
I was intimate with him.
Mr. Macpticrsou, landlord of the Woodman pablie-house
at Barnet, was on intimate terms with the plaintiff. He
was a very etri:t and severe man with his family. Witness
always considered the daughter to be • very prudent girl,
sad appeared to conduct herself with modesty and propriety.
