OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGI

MIDLAND ,CIRCUIT.-LINCOLN,

MARCH 14,

BELL V. DENBY.-Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Mere-
weather were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Mellor, Q.C., and Mr.
Cockle for the defendant. In opening the case, counsel
stated that the plaintiff was the- daughter of the farming
bailiff to Sir Montague Cholmeley.; the defendant lived on
his property, but, save that, they were in the same station
in life. The acquaintance was commenced in 1852, and
continued down to 1857. Defendant had pleaded he was
an infant, and so he was when, the acquaintance first began,
but from a letter he would read it would seem he was a
forward child:—

" My dear Harriet,— I received your letter last night,
and was very glad to hear you arrived at your journey's

I vas rather surprised at your leaving me

hope to see your dear face. I was not aware you was
going so far off. I should like to see Lincoln myself.
I should like to be there by your side this week, to hear
the assizes. (Laughter.) {This, observed Mr. Macaulay,
was a most fatal fulfilment of an early wish.] (Loud
laughter.) I should be glad to see you if you come
home next week. Ido not expect going to my situation
till the latter end of March, when I hope to see you be-
fore then. So you think I shall look very small at
L . It shows how you care about me when you get
away now. I have thought a very great deal about you
ever since I heard you had left me. I did not know you
had left, or I should have seen
oyou:if possible. I felt very
much cut up when I read yeur note 'before you went when
you left Eaton, I should have liked to have seen you.
But never mind, if I can see you before I leave. I
thought that I should not see you no more at present.
Shall you content yourself at home when you come a
few weeks ; please to tell me, love. I should like to be
with you to have a walk, if I was tall enough, my dear.
Please to excuse me in saying a word or two about
having a nap in the afternoon. I never meant any-
thinr, but a Joke, love, as I-know you are often ill
with your eyes. But, my dear, I shall not be against you
having a nap every day, if you and I shall be joined

. _
together, because I. should not mind what I did for you!, and
hope you will make me an industrious wife, if we both live
to see it ; and please God to spare us in less than four
years, if we have good luck, we shall both be in one name ;
at least, if you think as I do, tell me. But it's better when
you get married, and not lay awake and think so often. (A
laugh.) I often think about you when I lay down-to rest.
If you by awake I shall'have to share the same fate, as you
-will lay tossing about all night, but no sleep for me. (A
lau,l-111.)_ But excuse me in these remarks."
