DSLICATII Inverittoarton.—Mim Jolla Ann Courtney, •
young lady °dewy preposiseeing manners and appearance,ap-
peered for the fourth time before Mr. lagliam, to prosecute
a charge against Li•ut. Edmund Baker Wavy?, of the 88th
Royal Regiment, end eon of Captain Weaver, seminary of
the Pentenville Prison, for refusing to deliver to her a set of
blue enamelled dieueed stud* set with gold, valued at ten
galena, which she had lent to the gallant officer.
It may be necessary to mention that on former occasions it
was stated that Lieut. W as • suitor for the band of
Min Courtney, and promised her marriage, and while the
courtship was going os he sant her a great many letters ex-
pressing the greeted attachment and loudness, and describ-
ing her as "hue own d Juba, my dear one, my
darling, my own beloved, my angel," and Mae using other
terms of eudearnsent. All this time the "gallant gay Le-
than° " was paying his addresses to Mies Baumgarten,
daughter of a gentleman residing at 8, Barnes-place, Mile•
end road, to whom he was married two mouths ago. The
enraged cud deceived complainant instructed her solicitor,
Mr. Graham, of Maddox-ain't, to bring an action sgaicst
Lieutenant Weaver for breach of promise of marriage, and
also to sue him for the recovery of a set of studs, worth 10
guineas, she had lent him. A summons was originally taken
'meat the Marylebone Police Court ; but, on its beicg made
returnable, it was stated that Lieutenant Weaver and his
bride were as their wedding tour, and the summons was di,.
mimed. Milli Courtney subsequently traced hi r faithless
swain to the Mile-and-road, where he was residing with his
wife, and caused four writs to be served upon him for breach
of remise of marriage, die., and also took out • summons for
the recovery of a set of studs. The ems has been post-
pooed from time to time in consequence of a negotiation
pending between the solicitors for the settlement of all matters
in dispute.
Mr. Jeaniags, in defence, put in a general ranee, signed
by Mr. Graham, attorney for the plaintiff,settling the action,
the summons for the studs, and other matters, on payment
of 081. 4.., and then contended that the magistrate had no
jurisdiction in the cue.
Mr. Vaughan said the agreement was not stamped, end
was void and of no effect. Ile also stated that Mr. Gra-
ham had rewired the most positive instructions not to
settle the matter in the way he had done.
