ABBOTT V. YOUNG.

Mr. Setjeant uta.ocx moved for • ink to Mew
cause why the verdict for the Plaintiff in this rut
should not be set aside. and • sew trial granted.—
This was an action fur • breach of promise of mar.
rise, and was tried before Mr. Justice Bayley, et
the last Assizes for York. The grounds os which
be made his motion were the excessive damages,
sod perjury of two of the wituemes. The Plaionsi
had lived wi h the Defendant so servant, sad left
his service ultimately in the family way. The
breach of promise here was proved by two sisters of
the Plaintiff, who swore that they could wither Nisi
nor write. by which means he (Serjesut Hullacki
was precluded from putting so evidence two letter.,
purporting to be written by the Phriatiff to the
Defendant, sod which, it appeared, were written by
one of the sisters, undsr her dictation. He was now
prepared with the affidavits of two persons, who
swore that the two sisters who hod, at the trial,
deposed that they could neither nod nor write,
could do both five years ag,n.
The LORD CRIER JUSTICE—" I Suppler the
letters welt materiel in the cause?"

Mr. Setjeaut thattocat said he was extretne4
anxious to have had the letters put in at the time,
because they were utterly inconsistent with the in,
tints of the existence of any ptounse of marriage. Tim
Learned Counsel then read the letters, which spoke
of some allowance which the Defendant ought to
ma, for the support of the infant child, but made
no allu.'ou to any promise of marriage.
Rule to she* cause grouted.
WALESA v. JACIMAa.
Mr. Baouomaat moved fora rule to set aideda
verdict fur the Plaintiff in this case as being agrim4
evidence. The cause was tried at York before Mr.
Jn•tice Bayley. The Plaintiff, who is a tradesman
at Knoresburough, brought this action against the
Defendant her goodsfuraished. as he (Mr. Brougham)
cootesided, to Wm. Walker, sen. the father of the
Defendant, who at the time was living all a eirrant
to his father. The goois in question were for the
slaughters of the family, and in the reason of the
thing must have hero supplied on the credit of the
father, who it seems had since left England fur
America, leaving no property to pay his debts.
The Learned Counsel was proceeding so slate 11w
grounds on which he cousidered a new trial aibould
be had, when

The LORD CHIEF Jurnce said, that if the Court
granted the rule, as the verdict was under 20/.
must be on payment of costs.
Mt. BROUGHAM declined pressing his motion
under these circumstances, as his Client sisuald cer-
tainly have to pay cost* of one suit, and might po.•
ably, in case of failure, have to pay a second also.
