• The Plaintiff is a young woman, who had lived
in the eepat•ity of servant to the Defendant, by
whom, although he is a married man, and 70 years
nl “g«, she became prevnuut. The action was for
an inwsult, wider the followimg ewrioith circuits-
st.ini•es : the young woman was fle'irered of a child
tin the gild of June, et the house of Catherine
Lamb, of Vl'oolsthorpe ; a fgrtiliAlit aid two days
after her delivery, the .Defenelittst called, and
begged that she would part with the child; to this
the girl would not consent, for fear it should be seat
to the Foundling Hospital. Mr*. Notzell accom-
panied her husband to the Plaintiff'.. and, after
quieting her apprehensions, by fuddling and
feeding the infant for a short time, she sud-
i•-•ily whipped it up, and ran off with its--

hisiJuili, her doom for tcu missutts ; and

wflt-rwartm, en per getting up, he pushed her down
with force, on the other ,ide of the room. This
was the as4uult complained of ; and Serjeant
Vaughan observed, that, as the old gentleman had
gratified his pusisious in more ways than one, the
Jury would make hint pay the piper.
Catharine Lamb, the nittietwo who proved the
forts, on crow-exainiontion (with a view o:i the !tart
of I ior Dvirmiant to prove improper tr.- at ment of the
ilifeuit by the mother). admitted that it WAS UOl
11%1Isli to let a child go a fortnight and two daqs
before it sucked ; the cliiiers clotlos were sent after
it, sod the plaintiff had t•at the infant again.—Oti
re-examination, she said the girl was a tender mo-
ther, and there was no reason to take the child away
on that account.

Mr. Ba'gni, for the Defendant, slid, that his cli-
ent was lint en Englishman, and that such of the
jury as had happened to have seen the picture, by
Sir Joslyn' Iterioldsof the old Marquis of Granby,
would find the very portrait of Min (Mr. Notzedl)
in the droll Swiss servant holding the home et the
Lack of the Marquis.—This silly old man of 70.
who had !peen 30 years inisrritil, without having it
was wonderfully delighted with the repine-
him' of hating got 'e son and heir; and, strange to
t• 11. lie had infused the same kind of pleasure at
di.- circumstance into his wife. They had taken
the child away to get an apothecary for it at Gran-
them; and all that he did to the girl was merely to
take her by the waist and hold her down, whilst
tire kind theft was practised ; and, as she has got the
cliiid ;outdo, no herrn war /lone.
