Mr. ScAittrrr.--What ri* it all done ? lam
very sorry there is no wore of it. There are worse
verses made about Carlisle.
The Rev. John Heysham married the Defendant
and Miss Hanush Oliver in November last.
Mrs, Oliver was called, but not appearing,
Mr. BROVGRAM said he did not press it. The,
was his c.sse.

Mr. SCARLEM-.-1 know not whether I shall be
able to keep up the tone of merriment and ridicule
which my Learned Friend very judiciously intro-
dared into this cause. Not only are love-letters in
their very nature ridiculous, hut this cause is of
a character which could lint be mentioned to you
with affected gravity. Young men of 10 or 20 are
loud of writing ouch letters as you have heard read.
The clerk, for his is an age fitted for such letters,
read the letters extremely well—far better than he
could read old parchment. My learned friend,
Mr. Brougham, said he was skilled in amorous
productions, and nut much acquanited with love•
letters : but if lw, learned as he was, were to be
deeply in lose, he would have got thin upon it, but
the poor Defendant got fat; she never could have
believed that he was in love with her. Gentle-
men, what woman in the world could believe
that a man loved her sincerely if he got tat in
her absence 1 Lovers, gentlemen, pine, they
don't grow fat, and I dare say she was as sleek as
he. Well, and *hat damages will you give?—
You see he is a bad poet : she could not expect to
be amused by his poetry. He has not a farthing
of his own ; what then has she lost ? My Learned
Friend. Mr. Brougham, and if a Counsel from his
cold and phlegmatic mintier of reading his brief
must make the di►covery, what must a young lady
have made I Even Mr. Brougham discovered that
the letter betrayed a greater passion for the horse
than the lady. Love is blind, hot it is to the de-
fects of its object, and is keen-sighted to the charms
and beauties even of a crow of Egypt. Love,
then, would have made the comparison which my
Learned Friend missed, and said that Muss Thomp-
son was superior to all the ladies of Carlisle. We.
men at a certain age are really older and dis-
creeter than uteu. They know at eighteen what
we discover much later. Nature, that has accom-
plished them m all things, has given them this
advantage too; and Miss Thompson must have
said to her sister, "Look at that ridiculous boy,
he thinks himself in love, but lie is much fonder
of his horse." But what injury has she sustained! Is
she pining 1 I dare say she is as handsome as she
was before. None of the witnesses has said that she
sighed. or shed a tear over the treachery of her
lover. If. then, you do give ■ verdict for the
Plaintiff—in what has she suffered damage ? She
has lust a beggarly boy ; and I verily believe her
father would not have allowed the marriage without
his father's consent, because without that he had
nothing. It is an attempt, gentlemen, to get
money for Mr. Thompson's family. Mr. Armstrong
being his landlord, and wanting his rent. But nu
promise has been proved on her part. no expression
ha. appeared to have escaped her. If he had lived
unmarried to the age of 70, it appears no com-
plaint would have been made. It was never, there-
fore, deemed by themselves a promise of marriage;
but treated, gentlemen, with levity or with gravity,
you will not think serious damages due.
Mr. Ju►tice HOLROYD summed up at consider.
able length. and left it to the Jury whether any
promise of marriage had been seriously given and
mutually agreed to. His Lordship pointed out se-
reial circumstances as against the probability of

such a promise.
The Jury, without leaving the box, considered
for a few minutes and found a verdict for the Plant.
tiff—Damages 100/.
This vrrdict was evidently not expected; but it
gave general and high satisfaction.

WAN 46111111111118 If nicwics assihrfluas, v. ant
The Tres an issue oat of the Court of Chancery,
went Own by the IfiCe-Chsocellor, to try the right
of the Defendant, Colonel Reed, of Chipchase,
to • certain estate situated at ifesleyside in this
county. The real Plaintiff in this ease is a young
Gentleman of the name of Charlton, whose an-
'restore were the proprietors of the estate in ques-
tion. The circumstances of the case, which are
rather curious, are as fellow
in the year 1747, Mr. Cloche's having fell.. into
embarrassed circumstances, a person of the name of
Rooks obtained a judgment against him by a pro-
cess in law termed an iikgif, by virtue of which
half of the estate becomes the property of the
creditor who ha such judgment. In this situation
en agreement was made between the parties, •that
instead of taking half the estate, Mr Rooke should
be suffered to take possession of the whole nail his
debts were satisfied. A great uncle of the De-
fendant had also obtained a judgment against
Charlton, and being desirous of enjoying the same
situation al Rooke, this Mr. Reed bought Ftooke's
right in the estate for 575 t. Rooke had covenanted
to give•op the estate when he hod received payment
of 800/. the amount of his judgments. In the
transfer to Mt. Reed, that Gentleman agreed to
indemnify ROOke for any action that might be
brought ;against him by Charlton, for not surreal-
dteing the estate.
In the year 1800 it appears that the relatives of
CherhOo, by a proceeding in the Court of Chan-
cery, called on the present Defendant to state whe-
ther the debts were satisfied, and he them made
answer that they were not paid. The Chancellor,
therefore, directed that Mr. Reed should not now
plead that the debts were yet unsatisfied, for then
he might nonsuit the Plaintiff without meeting the
question at issue, And also, that he should not plead
the debts were satisfied twenty years ago, for that
would be an answer to. this action.
From all the circumstances of the case, the
Plaintiff contended, that no absolote release of the
estate had ever taken place, and in confirmation of
this produced the title deeds, which had still re-
mained in possession of the family. On the part
of the Defendant it was argued. that the length of
possession from 1752 was sufficient to presume a
grant, and if seventy years' possession was not
deemed security, there could be little certainty of
property in this country. To strengthen this argu-
ment it was urged, that the fact of the Charlton
family never having interfered for so great • length
of time, proved their consciousness that a convey-
anCe had been made to Mr. Reed. Ivt conclusion
it was insisted, that the circumstance of the title
deeds setting forth the right to more estates than
the one in question, sufficiently accounted for the
Defendant not having them to produce.
The Jury found • verdict for the Plaintiff—
Damages 11.—costs 40s.
MAST 17. ATTON, PARDIR, AND CO.
Mr. TYNDALL opened this Case, and Mr. SCAR-
Lyra. followed. This action, he observed, was
brought by Mr. Francis Ewart, • corn-merchant in
this town, to recover the sum of 5,9771. 9.. ad. re-
sulting from various transactions with the Defend-
ants, Messrs. Ayton, Parker, and Saunderr. who
were corn-factors, carrying on business also in
this town. They commenced doing business with
each other in 1816, and continued for three years
and a half. At the expiration of that period two
of the partners, Messrs. Ayton and Saunders, failed,
and Mr. Ewart then having a claim upon them,
made application to the truatees under the bank-
ruptcy to examine their books. The sum claimed
by Mr. Etyma previously was considerably less than
after the examination of the account., when he
conceived himself entitled to 5,977/. 9s. Bd. This
amount was made up, first, by deficiencies in spusu-
tity in the account the Defendants returned of the
sales of corn belonging to the Plaintiff; and, re-
condly, in the prices being returned less than were
actually obtained, together with overcharges for
granary rent and commision.
From the evidence of the only witness examined,
Joseph Reed •Wilson, it appeared, foreign coon in-
creases in admearurement when it has remained
some time in the granary ; and that the Defendants
had appropriated the surplus, that is, the quantity
which remained more when sold than when first
consigned to their own accounts. It was also
stated in evidence, that they had returned smaller
prices than were Übtained. On cross-examination,
however, the witness said, there were instances of
corn having bees returned in the account of sales
at more than it actually sold for, and that the
charges for commission and granary were, in his
opinion, capable of explanation.
Mr. Justice BAYLLY rime than once suggested
the propriety of referring the case to the arbitration
of some Gentlemen at the bar, alleging, that from
the nature of the cause, involved us it was iii so
many complicated uccouutp, neither he nor the
Jury could dorm:pie justice to both parties.
Mr. BROUGHAM, on lice part of the Defendant,.
after 'much hesitation, acceded to his Lordship's
proposal, observing; filet after the aspersions thrown
out against Mr. Parker, that Gentleman felt
anxious that u complete investigation should take
place, in justice to his own character.
Mr. Justice BAYLay said, he wished it to be dis-
tinctly understood, that Mr. Parker (who is the real
Defendant in this cast) went out of Court without
any imputation on Isis character, as he thought
his desire to 'proceed rather a circumstance in his
favour.

Mr. SCARLET? consenting to this srrangement,
• ■ominal verdict of 5,9771. 9s. stf, was taken fur
the Plaintiff, to be referred to three Gentlemen at
the bar.

About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening last, a Gen.
tlsman of the name of Maunder was proceeding slung the
Mils End.ruail, to kis residence in Mile End.te►rsce,
when he was attacked by four ruffians, one of whom
struck him a most violent blow out the chest, which batched
him dowo; they were proceeding to ride his pockets, and Mr.
Oleander, in end ring to prevent these, put his halide
across them, when one of this wretches immediately severed
the forefinger from the right ►and with a large clasp knife,
and ou bearing some persons approach they made off. Mr.
Maunder has been confined to his bed ever since, sad we
regret to state spat his 14 is ceasidered in imaginer
