L4!V INTELLIGENCE.

, . COURT OF KING'S BENCH, S 4 TV. DATA SI LT 2.
CRTM CON.

This day a cause came on to be tried, in which a
man named Bird, who had been an officer's servant,
Was Plaintiff, and a Mr. Bolton, Colonel, belonging
to a regiment of dragoons. was Defendant.
Mr.GARROw said, the Plaintiff sought for a repara-
tion in damages for the seduaion of his wife by the
Defendant. As his Learned Friend, Mr. Erskine, had
already exhausted this subje.a, he would forbear
making any observations to the Jury on the enor-
mity of the off....nee in question ; would barely
content himself with calling his witnesses. The
first witness called to prove adultery, was a wo-
man in whose house tlic Plaiotiff and iii. wife lodged.
On her crass-emmi,la,jon, s:,e said, sae had hard
the Plaintiff tell his wife he was very glad she had
got a person, meaning the Defendant, who was bet-
ter able 40 provide for her than he was.
Lord Et.t.crieor.ourni on this stopped the cause;
be said no man, who was consenting, to his ecife's
adultery, had any right to complain in a Court of
Justice. The Plaintiff was then non-suited.
