Mr. Houle, Vollntisrl for the Defendant. conti-
nued hie orgoatillort from a former (ivy in uppooitiou
to a motion for tit new trial on a question Cif legiti-
macy (the tircumst ince* of wench we have al-
ready reported). The learned Counsel *mid it Was
necessary for his Leirdslop to look closely to the
evidence of the reputation of • marriage betbre the
year 1714 ; a trinirrooge certainty Aid then take
place between William Cotton and Rebecen Web-
ster, and they hod two children born before that
marriage, who would be illegitimate, and the four
children born after the marriage of 1744 wool(' be
legitimate. He, therefore, contended that the re-
potation of • previous marriage ought to be
rumbaed on a mass of evidence that could not be
disputed. He would admit that if there had been
• previous marriage, and that OU account of sorpe
flaw in it n second marriage was made necrsaitrY,
the first marriage might be proved, which would
be better evidence than reputation, but the evi-
dence of reputation here vas at variance with the
marriage of 1742 i there were witnesses on she trial
who spoke to reputation, but not one of them to a
m.irriage previous to that of 174.2.
• of

The Loan Cii•scut.mtp—" The settlement
1746 limits the estates to the children born before
)7451."
Mr, Hotsa, in continuation, said he was aware
of that; but it was yatoral for parent., who knew
there was a blot in the birth of their children, to
hold them out to the /mid as legitiqnste. The eel-
deuce having gone tu a Jury, the novities was,
whether his Lordship. would think there was such
injustice dour by the verdict as to induce hiss to
grant a new trial. It was not sufficient for the per.
sons idling for • new tried to say that they here
other evidence that wee opt produced at the trial,
but it was incumbent on them to sheer why it had
not been produced; riding% there was a case made
out to demonstratiop that the verdict was *m
he was conviiiced his Lordship would not grant
new trial. Many of the witnesses had come few.
ward at the trial with a strong btu*, vs speaking ty
reputation. and had been open to mach observalime
of Cessnal at the trial, and if they were examined
again it was world that that bias would be mere
strong, as the verdict and the evidence was poise
lisped, and it war in the power of all the witnesses
to br in I, ion of diem. He was, therefore,
sure his Lordship would not distprb the verdict
without he saw very strong grounds for it.
The LORD Csatepst.top—lf This is an issue
arising nut of lunacy. and during the lifetime of
the lunatic Mr. Ward represented him as legit
throaty, or admitted hip to he so. lam afraid
was wrong in the first instance in grouting the issue.
I think I might to hare Jet the estates r.a to the per-
sona who Mr. Ward admitted were entitled during
the life of the lunatic, and levee hip (Mr, Ward)
,to his remedy by ejectment. It worth; he trio much
for me to say now that there ought not tu be a se-
rood trial.''
Mr. HART (Counsel for the Plaintiff) said that
AM case was most important to the public, as it
related to the question of legitimacy. He would
not only ask for a new trial, but he would rsqueat
that it might be a trial at bee.
The LORD CIJAPPICI.LOR's If it had beep
stated to me when I directed the jest's,, that there li
was an infant Plaintiff—l will not now undertake to
say whether it was or was not so slated—hot if it
was. I know I did not do Inv duty, fur ; ought to
have ordered a vast deal to be admitted on the trial
which I did not order."
Mr. SFIADWRLIff, followed on the same aid, as
Mr. Horne. and tool: a review of the eridetwe ed-
duced on the trial, and contended there was no
Ground for disturbing the verdict of the Jury.
The LORD Cy A acsi4.4o!—" This it; • very plain
ijueation for the Court to decide; it is merely this,
who the estate of the deceased lunatic should he
handed over to, and iii deciding rt. the Court 0811

Protlnciien no the trial ; then, as anticline in the
cause. slid hoeing received notice t• produce the
affidavits, it was his duty to have put the pedal in
,nn worse situation than kf he was set!trlV solely as my
officer:"

Mr. Swawwe;.l., in continuation, spid, the At-
torney. General, on the pert of the Crown, did rat
psk fors new trust ; he was saiisOed with the verdict
as it was; then two parties out of three were con.
t.elot with it.

' Mr. Ward Me perry ill, l'a'ding tIIO effete, te. the
two cbildren bore before 1701 e. We ncleo know

when the first has taken slice et Gretna Carrel, rod
much difficulty lose arisen whether the parties have
- been Inerried•••waiitid time by hump or lieeos ,
i how to deartibo She patties, whether as heehelors
or sp,ineitere. or Fa persous already married. At
Doctoral emulous they have now got a form, spe-
cifying they are to be re-married fur idle better evi-
dence of the former marriage; but formerly it will
be linend, where there were not chattiest, that the
parties were dile/died on the second marriage as
bachelor and spinster; but t believe it will seldom
he found that they have been so de.cribed where
there had been children of the Aria marriage."
Mr. Parrs, to continuelina. said, that the regisv
ter of the marriage of 174 i was prodoced at the
trial, and, in the absence of all evidence of • prior
marriage, the Jury had come to a right conclusion.
In the affidavit of William Cottonton which the lt.
cense for the marriage was obtained, he stilted him-
self
to be • bachelor. and Rebecca Webster. his
intended ivifi!, as a spinster. There was also the
evidence of die female pert of Mr, Como'. (Study,
that they were not married gun! 1741, they heroic
decliord to visit Mr.. Cotton, on account of her
hiving lived with Mr. Cotton before her marrisge.
They had evidence that it was admitted by Mrs,
Reeve, that both the and her brother, the lunatic,
were illegitimate. As to the deed of 1740, it wpa
natural that the father mid mother would wish to
hold out to the world that the two children born
before marriage were legitimate; it was then a
matter of cootie that it would be set out in the
deed they were the children of a marriage, withoot
setting out when the marriage took place' for it
would not answer to set oat they were the issue of
the marriage of 174. There certaiply vets the
evidence es to the conduct of the putties in the
1.011407, otid that was the only evidence ou the other
aide t but that wag explaisird. by Ow *twain Mei,
they had primer snolires for doing ea, and that 147
never considered the !ornate legitimate out of the
lunacy. which pat an end to the evidence.
The Lqpia Cu4pcsp.qa —4! I do not recollect
whether Mr. Wardle answer was read is. me or not,
Lott I fake it that it was; then I must .sy, if it was
*hewn to me, that he represented to tar, lie heti%
the administrator of 0 commission of hooey? that
the lunatic was legitimate by tigreement between
the parties for 10 years, and Irking ordure in causes
as it' he was legitimate. I must say, if I knew this
fact alien I directed the item., that i .forgot way
duty, for I might to have heeded Byer the estate to
the person he had represeilied as thy heir at law
donna the lifetime of the lunatic. and left hins to
his remedy at law, if hp had any."
Mr, Peon, in continuation, said, that Mr. Ward
did out vainest/we in any adventige from the stele
of things doriiig the looney; he merely let thing.
go oil et the wish of the family; if there was a Intud
he did not benefit by it, but thr clients of his
Learned Friend, Mr. Hart, did, and he would have
to defend them from the charge.
The LORD CHANCEkLOR—•• Jr is sworn in the
flows, that the lunatic was legitimate."
Mr. Paplrs admitted that it ass so, but it was
only sworn es to the presumption that he was legi-
timate. Here was a lunacy Komi; on for 30 reNfo,
i.ti4 it ems never reported alp was the heir at law
of the lunatic. It was suppressed by Mrs. Reeres
because she knew she wits not the next of kin or
the heir at law ; end if the report had been made, it
would nut have satisfied the mercenary views of
Mrs. Brae.

parties, he had probably given tire reason of the
hostilities existing between them • bpt, in addition

Two witnesses were called who saw the blow,
'struck, hut were not present at the comotencement
of the affray.
Mr. CRUET addressed the Jary for the Ile-
fenchistt. He did not think that the circumstances
of the parties being neighbours, or of the same re-
ligion, Ville any reason for an 'smolt of this kind;
but there might be u reason, which neither the
Plaintiffs counsel nor witoesset had yet disclosed.
The evidence had not spoken at all to what occurred
previous to any blow being struck; but the Jury
would judge from what he should prove, whether a
provocation had not been given, which neither Jew
nor Chriattenloultl hear end keep off his bands.
The Plaintiff had walked up to the Defendant,
who was talking to • neighbour, told had called
him a housetn:eaking son of a .4. had cheated
