Defendant's letters were then read in the order in which the air-
cut istances made it appear they were written. They wanted date
and address ; they were 'signed "John" and frequently contained
"My Jaw," as latrodnetory to expressions of his passion. "W.

" My affection fur you was rooted before your marriage, and the

The ATTONNEY-01:11E11111. addressed the Jury for the defend.
, ant, and ohs-Trod, that he by no means intended to justify the
anuluct of his client, who had been the victim of a laud passion;
but he merely wished to call the attention of the Jury to the defi-
ciency in the evidence presented 011 the part of the plaietiff, as to
the degree of affection which subsisted between hint and his wife,
previous to her misconduct with the defendant. None of the family
were called to denies to that important fart ; neithtr were any of
the family called to &pose to the state of their affections at and be.
fore their marriage. The Learned Couitsel for the plaintiff never
ventured to offtr this raeces y evidence in a case uf this
, den and it would be foe the fury to infer the /MOM for keeping
back that which might and ought to have bean brought forward.—
The evidence was as meagre as cectld be offered, and with the
attendance of material% always in the possession of a plaintiff on or.
CMIOCA like the present, it a as not &little singular, that they were sot
introduced tothe notice tithe Jury, who were to divide ultimately on
the quantum of iejury sustained by the plaintiff It remained also for
the Jury to ascertain if the phaintdrhail used all the diligence which
a husband was booed to exercise, and whether it wan nut highly im-
proper to tolerate her cootinued reading of bad novels perhaps, and
worse poetry, when seated on a rota with a young man like the
defenilantou the ficy..day of youth, and the current of young blow
mandial: in his veins. The plaintiff is entitled to damages, but
he (the Attorney-Crustal) trusted they would be measured by a
lair consideratiun of all the circumstances of the case. The de-
fendant, when twenty years of age, was the intimate acquaintance
of Mrs. Peter when eighteen years of age. The defendant having
fltpertations front an uncle, could not realize the object of his early
affee.ionft. Miss Beckwith changed her corditioo, and all intimacy
cc:med, until the return of Mr. and Mrs. Peter (runt South Ame-
rica. Their early attachment was soda rtmeweil, and unfortu-
nately the defendant became the victim of a fatal passion. This

non these facts, rather than upon the *perch of his I,eart.ed Friend,
the Jury would give their verdict. Some damages must be given;
but exesseive damages would, in his view of the case, be as vio-
lation of justice, to which an intelligent Jury would not lend their
sanction.
The 1•000 CIIICE Jimmy recapitulated the evidence and

Citirron-llonse lerroness. lei rt.-Yesterday Mn.t JarlarM,
a respectable widow lady, residing in Kensington, appeared to an

The property discovered, as stated ins the information, were,
eighteen foreigrumanufacturad agate.bandled silver knives, and
eighteen forks (which were saltelionbie on duty hying paid), with
silk shawl., and varimes articles of curious manufacture,
which were altogether pmhitsted.

Mr. Pegettnt*Pri.t. stated the ems to the Jury. This was an
action brought by Mr. William Elitism, against Alr. Edw. Bragg,
in consequence of work done by the plaintiff foe the defendant.'
The defendant was the proprietor of a honer In Hunter-street, New
Doeer.rnad. The plaintiff kept a tavern In Hunter-urea, and.
bad some thought of purchasing the defendant's helm Bragg
was very desirous of finding • purchaser for it, and send the
plaintiff, if he would procure • purchaser for it at 601 guineas,

it, and the proposed remuneration was not unresumeable. In con-
sequence of the representation of the plan:tiff, Messrs. Calvert and
Co. bought the bones for the sum stipulated. A witness would
also be called, es mows that the defendant bad said MI. was too
