TURNER v. EDWARDS.
This was an action for seduction of the plaintit's daughter,
Whereby he was deprived of her services. -
Mr. Sergeant rauustmt, in opening the case to the Jury, stated
that the plaintiff was a man whose circuar.stances were limited, but
upon whom devolved the extensive responsibility of leading a
•smily of MX children in the paths of virtue and honesty, and of
;ag care that by their bad conduct they aid not set a pttnicioue
'let° each other. , I
'Turner, • good-looking girl, was then put into the bOX.
"veered to be übuut eighteen. She was embarrassed at
-e slink time was able to proceed. I am the plaintiff's

daughter. It is now three years ago lame I brat became acquainted
with James Edwards. I shall be eighteen in October. The de-
fendant paid the visits at my father's house. lie often came, some-
times as often as five or six tunes a week. He was received as my
I suitor, and he made proftssion of visiting at the house in that du-
ewer. Lie has often uttered to me the most honourable pratesta-
'Goes. One Thursday night he came, and with e . articular warmth
'et manner told we he had given the parish-clerk 'stoney to pay tot
est marriage. Ile gave me reason to think that it would take place
Y three weeks. We went to Birmingham to buy the ring. Ile paid
1 ler it in a shop in nay presence. We then walked about a little
way, when he said it was too late to be married that day, but that
he would tale mete church with him the next Suhday. We went
Woe together that timg to my mother's house. Alter being then
• short time he proposed to me to accompany him to the Waggon
eed'Horses, where we stayed together. Ile had told site that he
would marry me on tate Sunday following, and repeated what he
had before said ct Birmingham—that it was his full intention to
have married the that day, if it had not been too late when we came
there. I was deceived so vouch by these assurances. that I yielded
to his pressing solicitations of remaini..g with him till morning. In
the morning I reproached him, and called upon him to accomplish
his promise of marrying me. It wu not long until the consequences
ar my misconduct left Inc no longer capable of concealing toy- shame.
The defendant not only refused to redeem his Wedges, but has
since married another. (Uric the witncu was so affected, that she
fainted away.) I gave birth to a child on the 10th of February last,
the fruit of our criminal intercourse. .My father's family cantata
four sisters and one brother. The defendant is 22 rears of age, and
he is the son of a nail-factor at Birmingham. 1 bare heard him
say that he was to tome into his father's business as soon as he was
tweetpone.

CrOss-examined by Mr. Con MON SERGEAN'T.—i live at Old-
bury, with my parents. My first company-keeping with the de-
fendant was in 1821. Ile lived at Netherton, which is about four
miles from our house. Our first meeting was at a dance, at the
Swan puhlic.house, at Rowley. I was with my mother and a few
friends, but my mother paid no attention to n.y conduct. She was
with our friends at the oilier end of the room. I went nut with the
defendant to the house of a neighbour, named Bridgovater, where
I stayed all night. The defendant left me at ten o clock, having
been with me four hours. The next evening I.e met me at Nether-
ton, and we stayed together from six until ten. The day I returned
from Birmingham with the defendant I did nut go home, but went
to sleep with the defendant at tl e Waggon and Homes. I was
acquainted with the landlady. My mother knew I was that; n.y
father did no . I remember being at Higley Wake with Thorn-
ton, in 1822. I continued with him from ten till about eleven at
night. The distance was only four miles, and it took its that
time to go across the fields. I never said " I preferred Thornton's
little finger to E.4.lwarirs whole body." I have not yet sworn the
child to any one.
Ite.examined-1 never had the slightest improper acquaintance
with 'Thornton, or anybody else but the defendant.
Jane Taylor examined by Mr. Sergeant Vat:Galax—l keep the
Waggon and Horses, at Oldbury ; 1 remember the night that Mary
Turner and the defendant stopped at try house; they.wsked for a
bed . • I asked the defendant whether he had married her ? and he
said he just had that day, at Birntingiustu. I have siace heard him
say he had married another woman.
Cross-viramincd--The mother of Mary Turner t ante to my house
that night. She asked me where the pal Was? and I itid her she
had gone up stairs with Edwaris. She Raid no watre but went
home. We thought the parties were married. It was Mary Tur-
ner, and not Rdwards, who asked for the bed.

CHIEF Jrst ICE lie witness).—DWl you think this was the
conduct of a nradtst stomas? 1)o you thick a propc: wornau

IVitness—My Lord, I saw nothing improper In her conduct.
The t m Iwo xSI mmEART then rose to address the Jury for the
defendant Lie would ask the Learned Counsel whether be could
seriously say that this was a cause for damages, more especially
when it was stated that the defendant was only twenty yea-sof axe
and that his father was a man in limited circumstances ? 11 rh
respect to the rather of the gal, it was In proof dud he had not
exerci.cd that strict vigilance over his daughter . ';ich he ought;
and her mother was positively privy to her dishonour. But he
hoped they would be taught this day. that if they claimed pro
tection for injured innocence, they should have ~hewn that they
had guarded their child against being led willingly into the paths
of rote.

Chief Justice HT.ST addressed the Jury with considerable warmth
and emphasis, and observed, that teeth.. if attention is to he paid
by Juries and Courts of Law 'o the of parents for compen.
sation for the seduction of !Mir daughtrs. .onie respect ought to
be had for the feelings of Lathers, •hone sons ire seduced by the

form your Lordship, that we are perfectly satisfied in every re-
spect with the state and condition thereof, and of the Governor's
general conduct to the prisoners. Not stultified with the appear-
ance alone, we thought it our duty to inquire of the pransoes

The trial of Japer?. William Hodgson, surgeogjor administering
Poivon to his wife, was I.,aiti...ht up, but his trial postponed until the
next morning (Wednesda)), the parries not being ready. This
trial has excited great intrust, and was the caused the Court being
excessively crowded.

ELOPEMPNT.—It was yesterday rumoured in the we-Et,
that the daughter of a wealthy tradesman in the E :st hsd
travelled for the North, on one of those expedi; ions that
maidens sigh for, and that prudent matrons eleprecate as
most shanieltas and untoward. The companion (for there
are few matrimonial excursions without one) of the yomig
lady's flight is said to he a gay and gallant son of Mars,
whose sole patlimony is his sword and a pair cf c d,ura.
It is also stated, that the young lady's disapik :name :rum
home, at ■n unusual hour, coupled with other circum-
stances, had excited a suspicion of her design, and permit
was commenced on the instant ; but owing to an extra-
ordinary and unlooked-for deviation in the lovers' track,
the chase was abandoned, so that there is eetry likelihood

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, THURSDAY, Acre. 19.
aaantrwra r. IPEDZINS AND HEATH.
Mr. Hoitat appeared for the defendants in this cue, which was
sin application to dissolve an injunction which had been obtained to
'At n then from infringing on the plaintiff's patent. The
and patent
Was or " a metil roller for printing cottons, silks, etc.," the
plaintiff professed to have invented a new mode of etching and en-
graving such a roller. Ile moved that the injunction be dissolved
tin two grounds ; first, that the invention was not new ; and se.
eondly, aPhough the first point were supported, that the patent
wan not infringed upon by the defendants. The Learned Counsel
re id nevem] affidavits with a vie* of shelving that a similar mode of
'flirting cotton and eilks had been adopted by Messrs. Elacklock,
Arpleby, and Co., sod by Clayton ;ode°. in Manchester; Mr.
rei Wins (of Fleet-street) inadc an affidavit that his father, in 1818
and 1819, had printed cotton in an equally efficacious manner, by a
lathe which he had brought ivith him from America. Several
affidavits were read, describing the progress of printing cotton, ac-
cording to the alleged invention ; which was effected by immersion
in a tiongh containing a mixture of aquatortis and water. The
Learned Gentleman proceeded to read the specification of the terms
of the patent, which he contended were not infringed upon by his cli-
ents, who only adopted a mode which had long been known to the
world, and been In general use.
Aflidavits were read by machine-engravers in Manchester and
'tither places, stating that they had engraved and etched rollers
in.the manner of the patentee three years before the date of the

patent.
Mama Wings and Ruesgrt folic/wed on the same aide.
The Louts CHANCELLOR—This patent is for making use of
aquaria], as the biting muter. The only question in issue is,
wbetha the defendants should be ordered to keep an account. I
coerces I nederstand net this specification.
11T taIIADWELL Walled in support of the injunction. There
was no question as to the subject of the patent. It was the applica-
tion of the process of eugeweing and etching, used for more than a
mature before, tovnetalrollere.
The" Lose CnAIiCELLOI said the specificetion was for the
preparative of metal toilers for etching, and not for etching the
relies.
• Mr. Ileassret.t. submitted that the whole process was ape-
eUled, ledsdibir • the preparation of the roller as well 11111 the
ostesiag.
, The LORD Csawertyott—lt is not then a new mode of ea.

Mr. Sean/vett —No, hut it it a new mode of engraving and
etching metal rollers. This was a nee invention, and entitled to a
esteem The engraving and etching of rollers set forth in the af-
fidavit', such as Clayton's, was not on metal rollers, but on sloe,
which aid not be operated upon by ea pbwerful • substance as
amitsferti... The novelty of the plaintiff's invention was the ueing
of aqawnwtis for eating into and etching metal rollers, as it had
been used in etching flat plates. The of davil of Mr. Ferguson,
stating that metal 101101 had been etched by Mesas. Blackloek
and Appleby years before the date of this patent, came upon the
plaietiff by surprise, but this fact had not been published to the
world, and therefore could not invalidate the patent. Be was ready
to bring an action at law, and his Lordship, he trusted, would in
the mean time order the defendants to keep an account.
Mr. Roe followed on the same aide.
Mr. Ilona in reply contended that this foolish Intent ties
founded In gems ignorance. The plaintiff, in his 'palliation aMI
in his bill, had coldonnded engtaving and etching. es if they were
the same thing. But not one word had been said on the other side
of may infringement of this patent, supposing it good, by the de-
feedants t. and Mr. Perkins, one of the defmdants, had dis-
tinctly sworn that their operations were no infringement of the

GI.A IIOROA NSHI RE CANA L.
Mr. Heat° said, thilt be had been before the Master of the
Roils, pursuant to his Lordship's sngg stion yesterday. The Mu.
41 of the Rolls postponed the case yesterday to this der, as Mr.
Knight, who appeared for the Glamorganshire Canal Company,
was unprepared, as notice had been given only the day before in
(Namistganehire, and the bill had been filed only that morning.
Mr. Knight would not undertake that he would be prepared this
day., and it remained for him (Mr. Heald) to consider whether he
would bring on the case ex pack. However, when he appeared
before the Master of the Rolls this morning, he found that Mr.
Knight had put in a demurrer in this case. Mr. Knight, *ho was
unprepared to know the merits of his own case, knew enough
of the demerits of his (Mr. Heald's), to know that a demurrer
ought to be put in to defeat his application. Under these cir-
cumstances he! Mr. Hritd) applied to the Master of the Rolls
to hear his application first fur the injunction. The Master of
the Rolls considered the case to embrace a new point, whether the
application for injunction after notice given or the argument on
the demurrer, should have precedence. lie accordingly; desired the
use to be mentioned to the Lard Chancellor. His Lordship, he
was satisfied, would lint entertain the application for an injunction.
It may happen, that an application forinjunction might be made
to prevent the cutting down of trees, a demurrer be put in, and if
the iniunr ion were not to be first entertatitA, the trees might be
cut down whilst the demurrer wits owning. This was a most ini-
pertant and pressing ease, and irreparable injury *could ho done to
the property of his clients by this tilamorganshire Company, in
widening and deepening a canal, for which they tried to obtain le-
gislative sanction, but in which endeavour they were foiled. The
case involved • question as to the right they had to con:inse, as
they were now engaged, in increasing the width and depth of the
ruse). This was the outline of the care. The question affected an
inland navigation of five-end.twenty miles, anti it was of the ut-
most importance to his clients to have the question speedily
decided.
Thy LORD CHANCELLOR said that he pert-eyed the serious
inconvenience that would arise from hearinit argument on the de-
murrer. At present he did not know the motive of it. However,
as the ease was manifestly a pressing one. he would hear the appli-
cation tor the injunction to-morrow in his Ova.., room, at eleven
s'elock. lie would then lenrn the nature of the demurrer ; and if
it was such a one as formed an obstacle to the grarting of the in.
junction. great as might be the inconvenience of the delay, the de.
murrer should go on.
Mr. KNIGHT assured his Lordship that he would not sign the
demurrer if he did not conscientiously coneider the ease as one that
called irt hint to do so.
The Lona CHANCELLOR was SHigfled there was no intention
unnecessary delay. Ile begged to appriz: the Lax, however,
that in this or any other injunction which he might entertain in his
priest? room, he would only hear one counsel on each side. Ills
health would not permit him to bur, as he was aecitstomed to do
in Court, two or three counsel on each side, as. after hearing two
tauten-a:a, with his own attention to die ease, he could arrive at a
pretty correct knowledge of low to deal with it. Gentlen.en at.
tendiog an such occasions might dispense with their mortmaional
dress.
LORD BYRON'S LETI'I;iIS.
HONHOI'.',E V. DALLAS.
Snanwr Li. was instructed to more the Court to diiteolve
the injunction which had been obtained agairst the publication of i
letters of Lord Byron, in the assession of Mr. Dallas.
Mr. Maar augge.ted, that a ease merely relating to .a point ofl
publication of certain letters was not of sufficient importance to:
occupy the attention of the l'isurt, when much more important cool
remained undisposed of, which were set down fcr hearing.
The LORD ( HANCELLOR directed that the cases should come
on for hearing in the order in which the had been set down.
Ale. HEALD said, that surely bls Learrted Friend, Mr. Shad.
well, could not hope to obtain a dissolution of the injunction which
had bens granted in this ease. The letters which Mr. Dallas
wanted to publish were private, and unfit for miblication. They
were principally letters addressed by Lord ByrOn to bit mother.
