COURT OF COMMON PLE%4, GUILDHALL.

IAA NI; A C. JACOB.

This wee an action brought to recover damages
for a breach of promise of marriage. It appeared
that the Plaintiff and Defendant, who were of the
Jewish persuasion, residing at Shadoell, had con-
tracted a passion for each other, which, by constant
iatercourse, was heightened into such excess, shat
they were unhappy in the presence of any other
person, and looked upon any intrusion as a com-
plete beach of harnanity, as well as dei-orurn.—
They had been in the constant habit of solacing
each other, even in the shop of the Illeintiff's fan
ther, who was to kindly indulgent to lip, sianghter:
as not to iuterruit her in any little effeumstauce
that might conbibute to her amirserucift The De-
fendant Verceiving that his advances were not of-
fensive to any iuiiividaal of the family (far it seems
tae mother also was acquainted with the Defend-
alst's conduct, and gave no great oppositionto him).
determined to avail himself of a certain kind of
happiness, which preseuted itself to his reuses; he
essayed and was successful. The lady was not in
the slightest degree discomfited by his victory, as
she had a full confidence in his honinir and *dic-
tion, not imagining that, though he might be-very
profuse of the latter, lie was prevented from a
strict observance of the former, by an usibicky mar-
riage, which had takeu place between him and a
young lady, who, probably, insisted oit that old-fa-
shioned ceremonial, before she would submit to
such freedoms as this rival of hers, in the affections
of the Defendant, had allowed.
A man named Solomon, stated. that the De-
fendant came to him, and offered him Sol. if he
would marry the Plaintiff. The Defendant ap-
peared very anxious to restore to the Plaintiff
her honesty, and told Stlornon that the father would
certainly kill him (Solomon) if he knew of the in-
tercourse between him and his daughter ; he also
said, that she was with child, and as Solomon was
the father, he certainly was bound, in honour to le-
galise the intimacy. Solomon denied haring any
such acquaiutuuce with the lady; upou which the
Defendant said, that he (the Defendant) had pro-
mised to marry her, and she had made a vow to
marry hum, and none but him ; her present family
appearamse was the cunsequence of this ; it wit
impossible for him to perform this contract, as lie
was already married to souther person; he then re-
peated his offer of So:. to the witness if he would
take the injured fair sue to her bosom. It eppear-
ed, that an action had been brought by the father
of the I'laint-4f, to recover damages from the pre-
sent Defendant, for the seduction of his daughter,
when the pareets, and the young lady herself, ware
looked upon by the jury with such cnsipassion,
and the Defendant iu ao heinous a l gal, that da-
mage& were awarded to the Plaintiff 101.
