This was as satin for aria. eel., to which the defendant
pleaded not guilty. The damages were laid at 2,0001.
Dlr. M. Cue:shin, Q C., Mr. E James, Q.C., arid Mr.
Wordsworth, ware for the pleintiff ; fluiseat Shee, Mr.
Bramwell, and Mr. Norton, for the defendant.
Mr. Chambers sail that the case he wee about to lay
before the jury was one of the deepest importance to the
plaintiff. Be charged the defendant upon this record with
having seduced sad debauched his wife, and that injury was
aggravated by the fact that the plaintiff and the defendant
bad been toe many years on the strictest terms of intimacy
and friendship, and as he was instructed the latter
bad taken advantage of the confidence of his friend, and W-
aived the serious injury upon his of which he now
complained. The pluntiff, Mr. John Marsh Cage, was a navy
agent, carrying on his business in the Adelphi, end the de-
fendant was s par:iamentery agent la Spring Gardens, and,
as he had before informed them, for many years before the
plaintiff was united to the unhappy lady whose conduct
formed the subject of the present liquify, they had been ea
the most friendly terms. In May, 1839, the plaintiff became
acqueiated with the young lady, Miss Turner, who was at
that time living with her mother sad step lather, and, altar
some courtship they wen married at Lambeth Church, he
February, 1839 Before the marriage the plaintiff was not
sequaisted with the precise eonditnin of the family, and be
(the learned counsel) thought it right to inform the jury, se
so doubt it would come out in :the nuns of the case, that
the plaintiff was en illegitimate child. The parties lived in
happiness and harmony, and one child was the result of
their union, to which they both seemed devotedly attached,
Mn. Case, however, it appeared, was not a very geed
tempered woman, and, he was sorry to that
later they had been married some tints •
sad quarrels arose between her and her hashed
aad, according to hie instructions, the defendant did all is his
power secretly to foment these discords for his own base per-
poen, and he believed that under his advice in the begins/mg
of 1849 the plaintiff quitted his house for a short time, sad
he would read them a letter written by the defendoint to
lira dada' his absence. He was intruded that this letter
was written for the most base and treacherous purpose, for
while apparertly the object of the defendant was to heal the
differences that existed between the parties, he believed
there was very little doubt" that at this very period the
defendant had succeeded in debauching the plaintiff's wife,
and the real object he bad in view was to enable the guilty
intimacy to be carried on with greeter security. The letter
was as follows
29, Spring-gardens, Feb. 2, 1849.—My dear Can,—
Mrs. Cue is disposed to let things remain as they are.
You tnow her gent nosomy, so that except in rent
I don't think there en be any saving by having
the furniture sold and the house disposed of; and
it will be prudent at all events to see what time—a few
mouths will bring shoat. It must do good to you and to
her, besides it is better as regards Mr. Bann, who may not
kaow anything about your differences. I think she anti-
sues great.y to dun to live with you, gad that in time all
things may come right. I bops so, and I hope you will not
destroy all chance of this by refusing to sancubn this ar-
rangement. Depend to it eat this will be for your own
and little Emesa's interest—but I don't want you to be
guided by what I say. Consult Bestow, if, as I rupture, he
knows anything of your family coaceres. She says she is is
want of money—she cannot ask Mr. Bailey for any, vri.bout
dating what it is tor, and this, of course, she does not wish
to dimes*. I tined her to say how much she wanted per
week, but she mys she would rather lone this to you, and
be Isti•fied with what you will do. Now play do this—it
binds you to nothing, and den not place yen fa a fake posi-
tion, no matter what may arise. She says then axe • few
debts for little Emma, and that U. would pay. Send
this alsi. What I want you to do and to appear is, that
though you are gam and determined not to live with her,
yet you will treat her generously. This ha. more effect on
a woman's temper and disposition than anything; and really
I do see such evident signs of affection for you, and of real
grief how matters are, that I em in hope, strong and soul-
dent hope, that by minas] explanation and tains/awe yea
will in tine find in a re-union the cementing of your mutual
kipping's. Enclose in a note to Mee. Case the aim you la-
tend giviag.—Yotin, my dear Case, truly, T. Baits!.

gentleman in company with Mr.. Case. At this time the
plaintiff and his wife were separated, but she lived near him

By Mr. Sariesat Shese—lfr. Baker was an entire stranger
to her at t- • time he cute to the house is August. She was
still Is Mr. Case's service. She said nothing of what took
place until a moult afterwards, and then not until she had
lad a quarrel with Mrs. Cam. She was very .. lidguty,"
and her master told her she was not to obey her misters sa-
lsas she pleased. Her metres had ordered her to take some
clean linen up stairs, and she said she would do so the sent
moraine; and bar mother, who was present, said she would
not keep any earvast who was so importiust to her, end her
mistreat said neither would she, and orderel her to lase*
the house that day ; and ft was upon that she made the re-
mark about knowing something respecting her mistress that
would not tie agreeable to be told. Tier master heard what
she said but made no remark et the time, but soca afterwards
kit asked her what she meant, sad she the told him the
story. She west to the window to peep oat of mere
eurtosity. She impacted what was Ong on bat did not
intend to say anything to her master, but wilily to gratify
her own curiosity. Mr. Case took ber into his salvias with-
out any obanoter. The plaintiff sad his wits were not very
good friends. They used to quarrel almost eery day ; they
appeared to be on good and affectionate terms, sock as
a man and wife should be cm. !Turing the time she was in
Mrs. Case's service her husband only went oat with her
cam. She never marompsaied him to visit the child at
Blackheath. The plaintiff used to go out almost every
sight by himself, and Mrs. Cam aka rued to go out, and
sometimes she went out beton him.
Roszamined—When Mn. Cate went out she used to say
she was goiag to Mr. Bailey's. She took a Uttle too sue
to drink satimetimes after dinner, and Oita they used to
quarrel. When this happened, Mrs. Cue would pall her
shoes off and let her hair fall about her feu, and she would
opts the window, and want to call for a policeman. This
very frequently happened after dinner.
Frances Fairlomb, chambermaid at the Roes and Crows
Wimbledon, deposed that she remembered Mr. Stafford, thi
solicitor, coming to the inn on the 21st and 29th June, IN
year, and on the latter day he was introduced to a lady and
gestienian. The same lady and gentleman had b,en to the
ken', a great many times before. She could not my exactly
when they lint saw, but it was about twelve mouths prior
to this time. They were there generally twice a week, and
venally came about two o'clock, and ordered dinner at Ivo.
The room they occup,ed was a front room, which open'
into a bed•room ; and tlas was the room they always our
pied, except once, whoa it happened to be engaged. Is the
I winter time they used to go away by the six o'clock up,traln,
I but they afterwards hired a dy from the house, and the
they did not go away till nine or ten o'clock. She auser
I heard their names; but they were known in the boom as
the Vauxhall lady and gentleman, because the fly always
set them down at that place. They always came alone.
Thomaa Mapp deposed that ha knew the plaintiff and the
defendant, and by of Mr. Case he bed watched
the residence of the defendant in Spring-gardens as several
elisions. Oa the 11th October, 1849, he saw Mr. Better

The settlement made upon Mrs. Case at her marriage wee
this put in. It aillimand that 1,7001. was settled upon her sad
her issue, but the }lentil( also took an interest in it, and had
the power to beam half the money. Mr. Timothy Bailey
and the dediamismt were the trashes.

This was thopidatiff's case.
Serjeant ghee then made a very able and forcible addrem
to the jury for the defendant Ho said that if they bad had
say upraises in courts djaetim,they would be aware that
there were no came which differed ace much in their circus•
stances as eases of orialeal aosvereation, and none whisk
required more careful and @Maui inveatigaties at the
hands of the jury. The present case differed in a most im•
pmtant respect. from any other within hie knowledge, for
his learned friend had omitted altogether the usual
topic* of crushed hopes and blighted affections of
the husband, sad appeared to rely for
solely upon some supposed treacherous conduct dor=
part of the defendant It appeared, therefore, that
the plaintiff did not allege any of the usual grounds that
were urged in cases of this description an a ground for da-
mages, at he relied merely upon the fact that the defen-
dant had seduced hie wife, and for that act he hoped the
jury would give him money, which was the only object of
the present elides. It appeared pretty char that the plain-
tiff was tinder his wife, and that he wanted to get rid of
her, and to effete this object he did not scruple to blast her
reputation for ever. The fermi ground of action was that
the defendant bad sodded the wife of the plaintiff, and
alienated her dhoti's@ hem his, and he would loam it to
the jun to say what was the nine of the loss mediae& by
the plaintiff whoa the "Advisee showed that he ha

sad the bet time he was away from her for four months,
and be left her without a sanest, and without money.
Witmer applied to him to return to her, but he said he
would not, and that she should tarn out.
By Mr. Chamben—Her daughter was very " nervous."
She bad never been struck by her, but they had quarrelled
ocesalonally. Mr. Bailey was aot her father but he bad
known her elan she was two years old, and took a great in-
terest in her, and he had settled the money upon her at her
marriage, lie also provided the money to furnish a house
for them in Moore-plies, Lambeth, but her daughter would
not go to live there. Her father was dead, but Mr. Bailey
had adopted her, and had been a my good friend to her.
Before her mantage Mrs. Cu. was living as a boarder with
a person named lean, ou Henningtoa-green. At pre,- nt
she was staying with witness, and Mr. Baker fain upon
them lest week. •

Frannie Dusan said she had known the plaintiff and his
wife for nine years and • half, and she first became ac-
quainted with them by being neighbours at the elan end of
the town. Daring the time she knew them they lived mi.
earthly together, and the plaintiff always treated his wife
with indifferences an 4 contempt. Mrs. Case appeared always
to be a good wife, and to conduct herself with great pro-
priety. la 1840 they removed to Henrtstreet, Veuzhall,
and wham continued to visit them there for eight years.
and it appeared to her that the plaintiff treated his wife
worse than ever. He was almost always out, and when he
did come home to Limner be would sit in the room
with his wife and never open his lips to her.
He would then dress himself and go out about
nine o'clock, and they would tee no more of him until the
ant morning. He once saw the plaintiff lay hold of his
wife's nese and slap her across the face and helmade her lip
bleed. Another time he threw • dish cover at her. She
had also beard him ask her why she did not elope, and say
that he should never come after her whoever she went away
with, and that she was more fit for • misuses than • wife.
Sank Anne Orson, a chairwoman employed by the family,
gave evidence of a similar description. She also stated that
one evening after they had had a dispute about some coffee
the plaintiff seized his wife by the throat, and the language
he made we of at the same time was most disgusting. She
begged the plaintiff not to kill his wife, and the ge : away from
him. end fell in a fit, and a neighbour at her request got over
the wall of the next hones, and ease to her assistance. The
witness also said that he had repeatedly heard the plaintiff
call his wife a beaten, and say that her mother, her sisters,

stopping out. Upon one occasion, when be asked her where
she had been, she said she had been to Mr. Bailey's, aid he
replied that she was a liar, for he had enquired and found she
had not. She was only in the service &couple of months or
so, and during that period the plaintiff complained a dozen
times of her stopping out late at night.
Mr. John Owen, • butcher, residing next doer $ll the
plaintiff in Henry-street, proved that he and his wife were
heard frequently to quarrel and fight, and that Mrs. Can
repeatedly cried" Murder."
Mrs. Jane Owen, the wife of the last witaese, deposed to
the same fens, and also said that upon one occasion when
the plaintiff went away from his wife be left her without any
mourn, and she supplied her with food from her own
table. _ .

for the plaintiff Mr. Berjeint Kinglake and Mr. btene;
for Blandlord, Mr. Crowder', Q.O , and Mr. Montague
Smith , • and for Orilla, Mr. Philip end Mr. H. T. Cole.
. _

Tii'action wee brought under the llth Geo. 11., cap. 19,
sec. 3, to recover the double value of certain cattle, do,
aliened to have been fraudulently removed off a tam in
order to prevent the landlord hum levying a dieting. It
appeared that at 1.4.dy-day, 1847, the defendant Griffin took
a term at Huntspill from the plaintiff, the mat being 1801.
per annum. During the course of the year Griffin paid
plaiatiff two sums of 601. each, and also about 831.
for improvements, which were allowed by the land-
lord. In March, 1849, he gave Mr. Brutord a bill at
two months for the midis of the rent due at Lady-day,
1848. Oa the 28th of Mareh, however, plaintiff being an•
easy about the growl rent then become due, went to Oran
and premed him foe the money, saying that if he did not pay
2301. in ten dap, he (Brieford) should &strain. On the 2nd
et April OriMa was sees at Highbridge market selling his
cattle, Blandford Wag also present assisting him. Mr.
Blandford, it appeared, was • respectable farmer rending at
Orchard Pelmet in this toasty, and had formerly let to
Griffin a large dairy farm, and the imputation apthst him
was that he had been eseistleg Oath in the fraudulent dis-
poml of his property. The cattle, however, were shown to
have been sold openly to the market, and for their full
value. About 1701. worth of cattle were thus disposed of,
and with this sum Griffin paid various debts owing by
him, hat did not hand over anything to his landlord,
whe as the 9th of April put in a distress and sold all
be could find *wept the growing crops, for 441. After this
he arrested OriMa for the coat on mesas prows', and again
for the amonat of the bill gives by him. Griffin passed
through the Insolvent Court, having been remanded for
twelve months for the fraudulent removal of his property.
Mr. Crowder, on behalf of the defendants, urged that the
setku had been improperly brought under the statute as
spinet the two, the offence of fraudulent removing and that
of 'mining in such removal being distinct offences under
the act.

Mr. Phian took the same objection, and an additional see,
vie., that the schedule of the insolunt Griffin which had
been put in, and the adjudic►tion thereon, @bowel that he
had been dia.:barged from all debts and claims in respect to
the cause of action.
