with the plaintiff's wife, being called upon, Sir F. Tne'bi
who was counsel for the plaintiff, said tis was g cesj be
on Wednesday, thh,.
which it was desirable that the circumstances she ~ea

had found that he could not resist the plaintiff's claim it
damages. Ile thought that plaintiff ought to receive at
least £5OO, and he understood his learned friend Wee Pry
pared, on the part of the defendant,' to consent to a ver ifs
for that amount. Lord. Campbell: That is
arrangement which may be carried into effect. A
hope I shall lire to sea the day when actions v.,:
this kind will be no longer a reproach to the law of grigititnbus
Sir F. Thesiger : If I had been called upon to addresetio
jury I should unquestionably have made that obeervao.
myself ; I think it degrading to us that it should be fling.
nary to bring these actions. Lord Campbell : It is degr„eunei.
I think it is disgraceful that such acons should °'Veros

_I am ashamed of this practice wheilLerueder
with foreign jurists. They have observed to :Ile that under
ber
our laws a husband might sell his wife with a ropd o*: fable,
neck ; but I have told them that that was merely ".,ch
and that there was no foundation whatever for b‘g ,9gt
reproach to our land. They have then replied' tioes
what do you say to an action for criminal eon eager for

which enables a husband to put money in his Pec,i li bell
I the dishonour of his wife ?" I certainly feel ashOge"eger:
such a remark :is addressed to me. Sir F. oc-iire°
The jury will understand that actions of this nature
