1101,1* V. YAnDLIT.
This was an action on the rase for a libel, and the damages
were laid at 1,0001.
Mr. Serkant Syles stated the cue, rind said that the
plaintiff, Moe Jane Croft, was a lady a little above 30 yon
of age, who had resided in Bedford all her life. The lady
possessed considerable accomplishments, of polished
manners, and unblemished character. Miss Croft,
when a little girl, unhappily lost her mother, and
some time afterwards her father. Her uncle, the late
Mr. Alderman, on whom she depeaded, afterwards
married, and Midi Croft, being thrown on the wido world,
became an assistant in a school for young ladies, conducted
by Mies Temaens. Mies Croft afterwards set up a school on
her own account in Offa-skeet that was the only means of
her supprt. The defendant, James Yardley, was a gentle-
man of property, whocame to reside there about twu years
ago. He had been twits married—once advantageously.
Saeh was his admiration of the plaintiff, that, though he had
sons grown up, he made proposals of marriage, which were
respectfully declined The defendant nevertheless con-
tinned his rejected addressee to Min Croft, and persecuted
her in • manner most unjustifiable. Mire Croft would not
listen to his overtures, having termed an attachment to a
. .

son of her mother's brother, Mr. George Small, whose age
and connexion we» far from inapposite. Mr. Yardley from
that period commented • system of annoyance, and Mr.
George Small remonstrated with him, and threatened him
with some strong measures if those annoyances were con-
tinued. Yardley had Mr. G. Small before the magistrates
for an assault, but upon Mr. Yardley's cross-examination
the charge was dismissed. Thus matters stood when this
libel was publishtd. The libel was partly printed and partly
written, and copies were circulated to individuals en the
town enclosed in envelopes, directed in the defendant's own
handwriting. The libel, as the counsel observed, was not a
general reflection, but a direct imputation on her chastity,
which left her no alternative but it ones to appeal to the
laws of her country for protection.
The libel was read, which contained observations and in-
'onations in language toe gross to publish, and females were
excluded from the court. The publication war proved.
Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Serjeaat Byles here communi-
cated with each other, and after a further consultation with
counsel an arrangement was effected which will free the
chamoisr of the lady from any imputation.
The learned Judge therefore directed the jury to find a
verdict for the plaintiff for the damages laid in the declare.
tion (1,00 W.), to take effect in case the arrangement was not
carried out by the defendant.
The jury returned • verdict accordingly.
