n3IISE OF 31A RRTAGE.
S. ORTON, ESQ.
Mr. C', PHILLIPS opened the pleadings.
Mr.Tattnnoln stated that the plaintiff, Miss Margaret Elite-
'bett Cspper, had brought this action for the breach of an honourable
'engagement of the defendant to make her his wife. The father
of the plaintiff was a gentlerdan of goad family, who occupied two
large form', besides a considerable portion of land of his own.
The defentient was a person also of considerable prop/rein residing
at /anon !felt, in Cheshire. He was originally intended for the
profession of the law, but that intention had been abandoned, and
the deferlant became a Lieutenant in the Cheshire Militia, and
rowelled the commission of a cornet in one of the yeomanry corps
of that county. The plaintiff was a young lady of great beauty
and conshleratile accomplishments, and had received her education
at the first hoarding school in Chester. The defendant lived in the
neighbourhood of one of the plaintiff's father's farms, and resin the
habit err:trending the same church on Sundays to which the plain-
tlff's fnmily went, and the parties were therefore no strangers to
sub other; and in the month of Deeemher 18'22 the phitntifta
ether invited the defendant to a shooting party, when an intro-
duction took place between the plaintiff and the defendant ; and
they world find that in the succeeding month of July the deend.
ant again visited the plaintiff's father; and the admiration of the
defebdart towards the lady increasing, he made to Mr. George
Capper a declaration oe his attachment, and no long time elapsed
before he made an application to Mr. Capper, the plaintifi's father,
fur his permission to address his daughter. To this Mr. Capper
replied, that it RR% a anions matter, and that it ought to have
due consideration, and that at any rate it mutt be delayed till
the return of Mrs. Capper. who was then absent. This delay the
defendant did not like, and he complained to Mr. George Capper
that he disliked the delay, sad that as he desired no fortune, he
saw no rensen for any thing of the sort. The plaintiff was *hen
shout eighteen years of age, and had just left the school at Chester,
and was then proceeding to add to her other accomplishments—
the more material one—of managing her father's house; and the
defendant, he.should observe, was then no raw hot-headed boy,
having no comma over his passions, for he had reached the mature
age of thirty-five, an age at which his passions should be
under the controul of his reason, if they ever were to be
an. Mr. George Capper did speak to Mr. Capper. his brother,
and these parties went on with a courtship. It had been
that the plaintiff' should go over to the place where the
Pfiriti3t7tl iff's mother was, to obtain her consent to an early celebration
of the marriage, and it was finally arranged that the marriage should
take place immediately. lie should also prove that the defendant had
centa on 3lr. Chambers, a Surrogate, to obtain a license for the
marriage, and had proctsxed a wedding ring; but at the Surrogate's
helves told that no license could be granted. because Miss Capper
had not resided a month in the parish in which her father lived.
This the defendant felt much mortified at, but still it could not be
I.elped ; however, on the faith of the intended marriage, the plain-
tiff had provided the wedding clothes; he did not notice this for
the mere price of the clothes, but to show how great the disappoints
meet to the plaintiff must have been. The wedding had been in
consequence fixed for Tuesday, the 2dth of August, and he had to
site to them circumstances certainly as cruel as any he had ever
known, for, on the Friday preceding that day, the defendant, on
peetence of business, left the house, promising to return before the
intended day ; however, he never did return, and never did any
that towards the fulfilment of this engagement ; but, on the Sa-
turday. a letter was delivered to the plaintiff's father, which he con-
.ndercel one of the most cruel productions he had ever met with.
The Lemuel Counsel here read the letter. 1 By that letter the de-
f.:Y./dam sealed his own condemnation; for the only apology he pre-
...tithed to make for his conduct, was, that he was loaded with blue
davits. -and troubled with wicked thoughts. But, however they
stight te (amned to ridicule such conduct, yet that feeling must
cis 'swallowed up in the indignation they must feel at his baseness.
tfet was In a condition to show that the defendant's property was
About 2f,030L; the defendant confessed the plisintiff to be amiable,
end he would prove her to be beautifi.l and accomplished. There
wag a delicacy and a eensitolity about the female heart, that, when a
wasind• vas ir.fiicted, it did not admit of a speedy cure, and he
would allow, that when the plaintiff's father returned home and
/t.forinnit his wife and daughter of the letter, it affected the plaintiff
weld severely, and he should prove that she had never been per-
feed y well since. If she had become the wife of the defendant, she
would have had a settlement for life, and a provision, that she had
row tat by the dishonourable conduct of the defendant; and her
fealiogs had been outraged by the perfidy he had displayed; they
would consider the anguish that she must have felt; and in look-
tag 'at the circumstances, and considering that Mr. Orton was a
man able to pay damages, he was sure they would make out such a
compensation as would repair, as far as damages could do, the in-
nary done to the plaintiff; and they would, no doubt, give such a
sum as to heal that wound that the improper. base, and dishonour-
mile conduct of the defendant had inflicted upon her.
Mr. 'George Capper, examined b' Mr. Sergeant PHARE, arid

bane known the defendant ever since I went Co school with him;

a clinch/ship to Mr. Richards, an attorney at Chester, and then held
a commission in the Chester militia. lie then treadle(' abroad,
sand-him latterly resided at Tattoo Hall, frpfh which place my
brother's residence is about two miles distant; my brother has I
farm of 200 acres at Hanley, and another of about 400 Acres-in the

annellent school ; when she left school she resided at her father s
Loose; at Hanley. I c,intider her good looking, an& she is agree-
a!:k in her manners. In December 18` 2,1 saw the defendant lit

protract the business. In =sequence of this 1 spoke to my
brother wail gay niece. I know a place called Alderson Spa.
There was a party there consisting of the defendant, my two
nieces, anti my two brethers. The defendant walked with my
niece. and on that day it was fixed that my niece and het father
should go to his other farm at Owynen-oma, for that they had
come doe Mr. Orton, views. and that Mr. Orton and myself
should follow to see. MTS. (hipper on the subject ; the plaintiff
and her father accordingly went. The day after that 1 rectum-
mended the defendant to tell his Mother of it, and he did so in my
preacree. There were I believe preparatiors for the weddin , and
a few days after the defendant told me that he had a j . for a
ilek
licensee° marry my niece, but that he could not t, be-
came my niece had not resded lora. enough at (.1w • to
allow her to he married there ; and it was arranged de.
fendant should remain there also ; lie was very aeteailve to my
niece. end appeared desirous of being in her comnany. llotnetimes
he let the table before the rest of the cornpa.iy. I remember a
Mr. Ashley coming to fiwynerotagg upon some business with the
defendant, and in a day or two afterward* the defendant went
away, as he said, upon the business alr. Ashley hail come about,
and he promised to return on the next day, but he never returned.
The plaintiff's father had gone to Chester, and lie returned on the
day after the defendant went. lie brought a letter; this is it ;it
is in the defendant's handwriting. I saw my niece soon after my
brother came home. She and her mother were in tears, and in the
greatest (thyme; it was impnatiible for any one to be in greater
distress ; end tide distrors'con•inued as long as I stayed. She w:s
not down stairs so much as usual. and if there was the least allu-
sion to the unfortunate circumstance it immediately sent her up to
her room. Her tether is worth about 10.000/.„ and he had 4 or
5.000/. with his wife. I have heard the defendant say that he had
sold an estate to his father for 19,0001. and the estate on which he
lives he midi was his own, and worth 4 or 5,0001.
Crass-examined by Mr. CASIPBELL-1 don't know that he has
only a life interest in the estate on which he lives. When he told
me that he had sold an estate for 12.000/. he did not state the in.
cumbrances on it. Previous to my seeing the defendant at my
brother's I don't think that the defendant had ever spoken to my
niece since the was a child. The defender t often went to the con-
tinent. \alien I went to introduce the defendant to my niece it
was nearly eleven o'clock at night. That WWI on a Saturday night,
and the defendant did rot accompany Mess Capper to church. She
went, but he did nut; and I don't know that from that time till
month of July he saw my niece again. It was on a Monday
late at night that the defendant spoke to my brother on the subject
of proposals; we had been all drinking pretty hard. The defen.
dant was one of the steadiest. Sonic of the party fell down, but I
did not see Itlo Orton fall ; but he was certainly tinder the lain-
enee of liquor, and he was thrown out of his gig going home. I
don't know that before that he had made proposals to my niece.
and it was on the following Saturday that the arrangement was
finally made. I spoke to my niece on that day, and she, afar say-
ing there was rather too much harry, coasented to his proposals. I
mentioned it to her in the evening. and she consetted before she
went to bed. The merringe was to take place as man as it con-
veniently could. I know of no love letters. Before the defendant
left Owynen-neg he appeared very anxious, but I did not observe
that he was dejected: My niece still lives with her father.
Mr. Thomas Capper, examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS, said—l
am the father of the plaintiff: I reside at Hanley ; I occupy two
considerable farms, and hold a commission in the Cheshire
yeomanry ; my daughter will be nineteen on the 12th of next May ;
she was educated at Miss Dodd's, in Chester. I have known the
defendant from a child, and there has been an intimacy between
our families for nearly twenty years ; his sisters visit my daughters.
In December 1h22. my daughter was introduced to the defendant.
On her return from school she had taken the whole management of
the household concerns. In July 1823, the defendant came to my
House to dine several times, and he desired leave from ore to pay
his addresses to my daughter. I told him she was young, and
that he might think the fortune I could give her an inferior one ; he
replied, he would take her without a gem, as he had enough. He
asked me to mention it to my daughter. lie called the next day,
and we went to see a pig race, when sonte people were run.
ning a taupe] pig; and as we came back from the sport, he
asked ma if I had mentioned it to my daughter, and I told him
that she made no otirction, and that I could have none ma gentle-
man of his respectability. He was at my house nearly every day,
and took opportunities enough of paying his addresses. My bro-
ther spoke to me, and pressed the matter very much. I remember
the walk to Alderson Spa, and the defendant proposed that the
marriage Amid take place immediately; but I would not consent,
saying, that my wife was in Wales, and that she mast be consulted
in the business ; and it was arranged that my daughter and I
should go to \Vales, which we did, and the defendant and my bro•
;her to follow, which was done. I went with the defendant to a
jeweller in Denbigh, for the purpose of buying the wedding ring.
I asked fora wedding ring, and the man of the shop recommended
me to take half a dorm (a laugh); I did, and gave them to the
defendant, who on another day retnrneel five of them, and paid for
the remaining one. I also acenmpanietdthe defendant to try to get
the license, and when we tumid rot do that, the defendant desired
to stay in my hoosetill a month had expired, and 1 permitted him
to do so. He, however, left my house on the Frid, and the mar-
riage was to have taken place on the following Tuesday. Miss
Morris was asked to act as bride's-maid ; the wedding clothes were
procured. I never saw the defendant for mare than a year after-
wards. I received the letter from him on the Saturday after the
defendant left my house. I raw my daughter after receiving the
letter ' • I odd her of its contents, and she left the room in tears.
The affect of that letter has not yet left her mind; since that she
has not gone into society as before.
Cross-examined by ale. R ussta—The night on which the de-
readmit made his proposals there was a jovial party at my house.
One of the tarty fell off hie horse, end the defendant was thrown
out of his gig. I don't think they were more than half drunk.
The pig race was a public one ; the pig's tail was soaped, and the
men ran after him, and the one that could hold him by the tail had
him. I believe my daughter has been much admired • among
others, by Mr. Alderney Meredith ; he had paid his addresses to
her.

The Rev. Robert Chambers, examined by Mr. TAUNTON, Smid—.
lam a surrogate of the diocese of St. Albans. I recollect the de-
fendant coming for a marriage license ; on asking the usual ques-
tion, I found Lint Miss Capper had net resided in the place for a
month, as was necessary, and I refused the license, and the defen-
dein appeared to be excessively disappointed. I told him that he
must wait. He then asked if there were no other means of being
married sooner, and I told him it could only be done by special
license, which I could not grant. He then took his leave, saying,
he must wait for the time ant: then conic again.
Miss Hodson examined by Mr. Sergeant PEALE. said—l am
a dins-maker at Denbigh. I was employed to make Miss Capper's
wedding clothes.
Miss Maria Morris examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS, said—l am
a cousin of Mies Clipper. I was engaged to be bride's-maid at her
marriage with Mr. Orton.
Mrs. yapper, examined by Mr. TAUNT ort, said—the plaintiff is
my eldest daughter. I have six children in all ; two of them are
daughters. The defendant asked my consent to marry the plaintiff.
I consented. I could make no objection. From his manner I sup-
pose) that the defendant had a great regard for my daughter, and
I think that regard was reciprocal. IV hen she saw the letter she
was extremely hurt and very much surprised; she cried, and
was excessively low-spirited. She has not peen company nor gone
into society ever since, and I.am certain that even now she hes not
regained her former tranquillity of mind.
The letter was now read ; it was In the following terms
:
(No date.)
" Dear Sir—My spirits for the last few days here been 'melted
up to suet a pitch, from an idea of the fear of being miserable
when I am married, that I have been forced to quit Owynemegg
against my inclination in a most shameful manner ; it would never
do fi.tr the to go to church, loaded as I am with the blue devils; there-
fore I bare reselved to leave the country; but in justice to myself, and
more stilt to Miss Capper, I am bound to sae that no fickleness in-
duces my determination, for I think, as I ilways have done, that
Miss Capper is one of the most amiable of women, and every way
calculated to make an excellent wife; but I could rot go to ihttreh
in the state of fear in which I now sin. The more I think of my
fears the stronger they are. I know that lam bound to perform
my promise or pay for it, but I am molted to make a sacrifice
rather than make myself miserable. But at present, trcubled as I
am with wicked thoughts, all the world should not induce me to
marry.
" I will not attempt to apologise for my condttet, for I feel that
no apology can be made ; but I trust you will still believe me your
very sincere but very unhappy friend,
" C. I). ORTON."

Here the case for the prosecution dosed.
lin Cams's:Lt. addressed the jury
.for the defendant, and said
that his client deeply lamented the pain that had been inflicted on
the plaintiff and her friends by the notoriety that this case had
acquired, but it was necessary that a verdict should be pronounced.
—His client instructed him to say, that he felt the most perfect re
spent for the plaintiff, and that he felt she was a most beautiful and
accomplished young woman, possessed also of unblemished virtue
and modesty. He was instructed to pay that just ttibute to her
merits ; but he could not give an unqualified praise for her friends :
lie thought if they had had proper feelings, they woold not have
thought of repairing such an injury by darringes--they would not
hare sued out process of law.--they would not have lied a ro:lie
trial nt Ehrowshury, and have had their daughter's name posted in
the crilonms cf every newspaper, to be read within the walls of
every alehnose in the kingdom. Mr. Taunton had opened a long
and tedious courtship, and the parties seeing each other every Sun-
day in a church, of which they had no evidence—he would admit
that his client had acted foolishly and improperly, but certainly
his Learned Friend had gone too far in accusing him of baseness ;
but what we, the long courtship, what was the attention he paid
her the parries were not even on speaking terms, and
then an introduction took place in the firmer's house, they being
till that time utter strangers a each other; and then they found that
this 'whist lover, she ice being broken in 111.21, instead of coming
tocessantly to court Miss Capper, never crime near the house till the
month of .luly in die folio ring year, he firing nil the while oily
.win miles eff, and even thm his visits were no; to her, but to her
uncle. There was no doubt thct the Cappers thought the defend-
ant wits likely to he a good match for their daughter. and they
wishxl him to comi to their house fbr that prirpose ; and then find-
ing that his love Vas rather of the coldest, they faraored him with
a 'idly party, and so far succeeded in warming his passion, that be

thing about Miss Capper, he employed his whole attention in the
superintendence of the soaping • pig's tail. The Met was, that
the defendant, who never intended to trifle with the happiness of
aftgoung woman, being, when warmed by intoxication, hurried
into a proposal, and feeling convinced that the marriage cou'.d nor
be a happy one, he resolved to break it off; and it was clear that
Miss Capper codld not have cared a farthing for the defendant
after such a courtship as that, and no doubt agreed to take d'-fend-
ant's proposals in consequence of the commands of her parents.—
Under all the circumstances, he would submit to them that
the defendant had done what was best for both parties, in breaking
off a matter which could tend to nothing bit misery.

On Saturday Her f alg Bra*,ion underwent a second examina-
tion. (For the particulars of the ling examination ace the Offish
Press of,Friday.
Jr.l John Story, a green-grocer, residing at No. 10, Church_
street, Blackfriars-rcad, then stepped forward and said, that about
four o'clock in the afternoon of the 2d of March, the prisoner
came to the front of his shop, and after standing about some time.
he asked witness, in broken English, the direction to " the ship."
He did not understand him, upon which he produced a written
paper, purporting to " Direct the bearer, who is a foreigner and
wranger, the nearest road to the London Docks." NVitness told
him. He then went a short distance and returned again, saying,
he wanted to speak to mittens witness's wife), or somebody to
put conscience (meaning continence) in, at the same time pulling
out a shawl and a sham gold repeater ; he said he had 3001. worth
of goods on board a ship lying in the London Docks, and if he did
not psy the Captain be was afraid they would be lost, and begged
of witness to lend him live pounds upon the articles, saying that
the shawl itself was worth fourteen guineas. Witness's wife con-
sidering it would be a matter of regret that lie should lose his pro-
perty, prevailed awn him to give the prisoner that sum, which
he did in three sovereigns and two pounds in silver. The prisoner
said he would be punctual, and call the next day to redeem them.
but he never saw him afterwards. The shawl was not of foreign
manufacture, and worth only twelve shillings. The watch might
be worth about ten shillings.
Mr. BIARILLAND—Then how was it you obtained information
of the prisoner ?
Witness—ln consequence of seeing the report of others tieing
cheated in a similar way. I immediately suspected the prisoner
was the person who defrauded time.
Mr. MARI LAND—Look at the man at-the bar.

Witnet.s..—l am p 011666 IN 6 the person.
31r. 31.ika Lawn—Are you quite sure?
Witness—Decidedly so. I was present when the conversation
tonk place between the prisoner and my wife in the back parlour.
Mr. MAkat.swil--1 have no doubt there will be many charges
through the publicity now given to these cases; but I suspect the
prisoner has a confederate in these impositions., whom I want, as I
have a gold satch handed to me, where money was obtained
under the same circumstances. _ _

The prisoner was surprised at Mr. Story's charge, and declared
he never was in his house at all, and that he wanted to take away
his life.

Mr. biARKLAND—Don't you be afraid of that, the case is not
terminated yet against you ; you will be remanded.
Mr. Capper, from the Allen Office, said he had made inquiries
respecting the prisoner; he had never passed as an alien ; sod to
questions put to him he seemed to be very cautious how he replied,
and always gave evasive answers. The passport now produced by
the.prisoner is not a regular one, the signature simply bears the
name of a British Consul.
The prisoner here applied for his musical soutf-box, gold watch,
and two shawls, saying they were bia property, and he wanted to
give them t his wife, who was without food.
This was denied, and he Wei remanded.
