Mr. Cam:uterus opened the pleadings. This
was an action of naminiusit for beach id marriage
primula•. The Defendant, in the th of Octo-
ber, 1815, promised to marry Harriet Calla, on
request. Tlie Plaintiff remained single. There
were other counts varying as to form, and there
was another class of counts which slated, that De-
fendant had pratnisrd, at some future period, to
marry the Plaintiff on request, or, if he failed so
to do, to pay her the ruin of 5,000/. The De-
fendant had since married another lady. The
&gunge* were laid at 5,0001. and the Defendant
pleaded the general issue, that lie did nut make
the promise.

Jury to the following► effect :
