T. Chapman, the constable, proved that he had been fetched by
the last witness, who had sent him to the defendant, and that the
defendant them told hi:n to do his duty. The witness then de.
scribed the way in which he bad carried out the plaintiff In exactly
the same manner cs hlrs. Uerring bad done.
blr. &roues, in reply, commented on this evidence as being
atwrobinative of that which he had offered.
The 011 xr MORON tub! the Jury, that they were to consider in
this case whether there had been an assault committed on the person
of the plaiutitr; whether she had been disturbed in the possession
of a house which she was entitled to hold for a specified tune ; and
whether any injury had been c ass-red to her property. In his opi-
nion there could lie no doubt as to the facts of this case, the evi-
dence for the plaintiff beingconfinned in every respect by the testi.
many of the defendant's witnesses. Why the plaintiff had taken
the cottage, and why the defendant had wished to turn her out of
possession, were fact& still unexplained; and the Jury could,
therefore, linly act on what evidence had been produced before them.
They siould consider all the circumstances of the case, and give
such damages as they might think the justice of the case strictly
The Jury gave 'verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is.
The Conan' BARON, by the desire of the Counsel for the de.
Laden*, asked them on what part of the declaration they gave da.
n.ages for the plaintiff—whether on the assault, the dispossession,
or the injury to the goods ?
Thos Jury answered, that they gave damages on all; and the
verdict was then recorded as a verdict for the plaintiff generally.

seemed particularly attentive ; she was dressed in white, and ap.
to be about forty years of age.

t otions of humanity ; but, on the present *cation, Isehought they
could give to other verdict than one of not guilty. His Lordship
soon minutely detailed the thole of the testimony. of tese
duceseon,
ectimentirig Do it as he proceeded. But we omit thetails as
tee here date several other* in the course of this trial from a sense
bf deicary. The Learned Judge concluded by remarking that it
was an order of (fed in the creation, that whatever the feeling of
the male 'eight be, the female would protect her offspring. This
ssight be Violin by paying attention to the actions of every class
it animals ; and, if the Instances were so strongly implanted in the
ae hn.ce creption, how much mom strongly must human beings,
gifted with venom and education, revolt at the idea of a female de-
stroying her ir.ffint child. It certainly, therefore,
,was against all
prebability that the woman should have dentroyed her offspring.
But if the Jury shred,' hick that the prisoner did not destroy her
irfant, but concealed its birth. there was a law that &carded a
punishment to such centime. Front the reign of James the First
to the 43,1 year of the reign of George the Third, there wits an Act
that rendered the womar, in the eye of the law, guilty of the nue.
tier of her illegitimate offspring if she concealed us birth. Thank
f that Act, written in blood and folly, was repealed, and •
Jure could now declare a women guilty of concealment of the
• withaut the dreadful anxiety they must formerly have felt
when they pronounced that verdict which consigned her to an igno-
mie'scus death.
The .1 ury immediately acquitted the prisoner of the murder, but
felted her guilty of concealing the birth of her infant.
Ills Teottostrie then addressed the prisoner.—'e Mary Baker,
you have been tried on an indictment which charged you with the
wilful murder of your illegitimate child. The Jury, by their ver.l
carend I entirely acquiesce in it), have acquitted you of that I
h ; hut they have found you guilty of concealing the birth.l
New, as it is a matter which deeply affects the public that the birth
of it child should not be concealed, the law, as it now stands. in
order to deter persons howl the commission of this crime, has given
the Court a discretion of awarding two years, or a shorter term of

and called for serious dama,;es. The defendant had put no justifi-
cation on the record; and it would be for the Jury, under his Lord-
' idnp's directions, to say what damages his client was entitled to.
He had only three alternatives—to tight a duel, knock the defend.

defendant had offered an apology it was true, but his client had

Mr. H. Courts opened the pleulings. This was an action of
awrialt and treapass, to wliich the defendant had p:eaded Nut
itnlty.
Mr. STORIES stated the ease to the Jury. The plaintiff was a
tae y of mall fortune. residing at nmsley, in this county, and the
defendant was a builder, liming at the some place. The eircern-
>lsncoi which fonred the ground of the present complaint were
these:—The defendant was the owner of some small cottages, one
of which bad been let to a penman =rued Philip Herring. For some
nes in or other, dictated by his own convenience, Herring wished
to leave the cottage on lady:day lost, but the ticked-on insisted
eat Herring was tentnd to give half* year's warning, or to pay half
o jesr's rent. As !leering had taken another cottage, he was oh-'
lilted to quit this : but bong unwilling to pay double rent, without
some sort of remuneration, he looked Out for a tenant to whom he
ni. ht underlet this cottage during the continuance of his term. It
happened, that just at this time, bliss Wessell wanted a cottage,
anfl (leering, therefore, gladly embraced the up
_portunity of niskiog
her his under-tenant, as he knew her to be s lady of r-ortability
:IA of property. The bargain was accordingly made, aM the plain.
sill agreed to takethe cottage front Old Lady.clay to Michaelmas,'
at a reut of live guineas. Scarcely, however, had she entered Into
poness'on, before the defendant, for some unaccountable reason,
chose to eject her, and this he performed in a very improper man.
ner. He sent for a constable, whom he ordered to turn her out,
and his order was performed in the most unceremonious way, for
she was actually carried out of the house, and set in the street to be
gavel at and made the subject of remark by all. Besides this, the
little property she had already sent to the house, was taken out and
received some injury, tor which, together with the assault upon her-
self, and the lass she sustained by this forcible ejectment from her
vesseation of the house, she new claimed compensation. Now this
conduct was the leas justifiable, as Mies Wassdl had dove nothing to
aficd even a pretext for it, and as it bad not been the result of any
rccmentary Innen:on, but, as it would be proved, of a deliberate de-
termination to annoy, to insult, and to injurean um:offending woman.
Fo: this she now sought! for compensation at the hands of the
Jury, and in estimating the amount of damages to which the plain.
tiff was entitled, they would feel that it was not so much thebuthly
pain she might have endured, or the personal icconvenience to
which she might have been subjetted, as the insult which had been
affered to her sex and to her feelings, which loudly called on then,
to award such damages as would teach the defendant to act differently
for the future.
