that it was afire d, by his family, to ,end hies to the
Asylum for Lunatics, where he and several of his
relatives accompanied him in the month of March
last; that he went to see him shortly afterwards;
alien he saw Imo, he was very hail ; and Ur. Win-
ststiley, who attends the patients, iiih/s 1111,1 him
there Ville no hope of his getting better. lle re-
mained eighteen duff s iii the Asylum, and then was
fetched away. The deceased was very much de-
ranged, but knew the witness. As he was getting
into the coach, he complained several tiro.: of his
back paining him very much. lie was taken from
Manchester to Hendon, where, on his promise to
he very quiet, his straight waistcoat was taken off.
He appeared sensible for several day.; so much so,
that he was permitted to sleep with his wife. On
the Monday after the Friday on which lie was taken
away, Mr. Sanderson, the Governor of the Asylum,
called to see I • . After he was gone, the deceased
was put to bed, and, when tying on his back, he sp.
peered to be very uneasy, mid, in consequence, the
witness put his hand under his luck to alter his po-
sition, when he culled out, apparently in great into-
, • Brother, my breast-bone is broken." The ,
witness asked him who did it? when he replied,
Bell did it;" and he appeared quite sensible lie
was dying. He said his prayers thud afternoon, and
every day afterwards, till the time of his death. The
deceased also told the witness, on the Friday when
he was taking him from the Asylum to his house,
that all his ribs were broken front his back-bone,
except two; and the witness conceived him to be in
a de' -.7 state.

, dying s.
The witness, on hie cross-examination.said, that at
the time the deceased first mentioned his ribs were
broken, he imagined it only proceeded from his
rambling mind. On the evening after Mr. Sander-
111.111'A ViSitg the deceased complained scr ranch of
his ribs being broken, that the witness win induced
to feel them, and he was then convinced of the t,uth
of his assertiou. The deseased complained very
much of the prisoner, and said, it was lie that had
broken his ribs and breast-bone ; and the witness
being convinced his ribs were broken, sent for Dr.
Agnew to attend him. The deceased lived two
days after this : and, after his death, witness went
to the Asylum, and said " they had murdered hie
brother." cad made several threats against the Pri-
soner.
This testi:nony was also corroborated by the wife
if the deceased, who sa;d the deceased was telithr
filially complaining his ribe, and attributed it tiv
the Prisoner; and that be fervently prayed to God
so release lino from his misery.
Here Judge CHAMBILE stopped the evidence. He
observed, that although the de. eased had had
intervals, vet, no doubt, lunatics iii general had a
great dislike to their keepers. With respect to the
deelsrations of the deceased against the Prisoner,
be did not thick they cisme up to the principle, re-
cognised by how, of a person being in a dying state;
for the only urc 00000 stance that could he attributed
to his being sensible of his death, was, his saying his
prayers ; and that his unsupported &elevation
against the Prisoner could lint therefore be re-
ceived.

Previous to the decision of the Jury, at the re- '
quest of Mr. Caoss, the Prisoner's Counsel, Mr.
Sandermii was called, who gave the Prisoner a good
character for humanity. during the five years he was
employed by him as !carper.
Dr. Winstaaley, the physician to the Asylum,
said. that he had attended the deceased twice a
week ; and, on the day before he was token away
by his relatives, he was stript before him, and
stood upright, which he thought was impossible if
his ribs had been broken ; nor did he think it pos-
sible the deceased could have lived four or five days
in the state he was described to be. He had at-
tended, with several surgeons, the opening of the
body, and found the upper and hisser part of the
breast-hone completely separated ; and had no
doubt but that his death was occasioned by the
injury he had received on his chest. Five ribs on
• side ware found broken ; but how the de-
ceased o.lloe in that shocking state, could not be
ascertained. The keeper had a good character far
his humanity. The Jury found the Prisoner Not
Crafty.

BREACH OF. PROMISE OF MARRIAGE
Mille v. W %LW:IM

This was *ease which e‘eitect such an uncom-
moo degree of interest, that many of the Ladies
of Liverpool left tlu,t place, in order to be present
at a trial which promised so highly to gratify their
no.ity.
51r. Serie :id COCart.i., in his address to the
Jury, them it evil, with infinite regret hr
stated a eri,e of as much injustice, inhumanity,
hardship, and cruelty towards the Plaintiff, as
ever hc rememlwred to have beard of in his
life, int.l he was surprised the Defendant should
have ocimsiolo.d the poor suffering Plaintiff to
come into Court, to ask, by means of a Jury,
the payment of a debt which he haul con-
tracted under cirennistances that froze his blood
with horror. The Plaictiff, whatever her condition
in life was, had hero most cruelly treated by the
Defendant. She was a young woman of great
personal attraction, soul her inislurtume haul heel
her excessive fondness for an ungrateful man -.11

as-iined him in the purchase of his cominissinti,
when his own friends would not supply brae with
a shilliug. The Learned Serjcant said lie was not
finid of -destina• oat bats!) epitlyto, but DO lan-
gusge could paint ft.,. iii his proper
coluuro--his own ktter., huvrevis, would represent

him in a true light; and he hoped they would have
the effect of letting the nifiJere of the cores U.
which he belonged know what sort of a mrvcmate
they had; and they would consoler whether, as
Gentlemen of the army, they could associate with
such a WWII as tile Deletularit ?
As every tratisactiou between these parties imeseil
without a witrierei, the Plaintiff had no menus of
proviNg her demand, which amounted to upwuril.
of MM., but by the Pleintitls own ricknowledg-
nseuts' as contained iii his letters; and, with eo
much ut artifice had tbaDefeudant conducted him-
self, that when lie received money font, the
Plaintiff, he never had ilie fairness to admit the
•iim. The Learned Serjeant their proceeded to
reed a great variety of letters; they always
" Nye dearest, dearest girl," and were settled
" George." In the first he said he had received the
boa of comfit-cakes end the pot of !west which
I were very nice—the money came very seasonable,
for he was completely run out : his only happrie ss
WWI in contemplating their moon. lir number he i
desired her to keep lain dogs for hitt, Via:, and
Trim. This yoling, girl not only had him to keep
nod hoard, but Isis dogs too. In another he told
Lc haul written home for motley, but they hail
sent hint none ; that he had no resource but her-
belt; that he was in want id' 20 or 301. as had
oily a few shilling.; the last money eh ut
him just Caine in tune, for he was quite mit.—
Then, in another, after the most passionate vows
of eternal love, he said he had regularly received
her dear letters with the notary; ke could only
shope, by a lile of constancy cud attachment,
to requite her tendentese. A sad requital it was,
to put this unfortunate young woman to the ne-
cessity of bringing Rll action under such circum-
stances. In another letter, he acknowledged the
receipt of one from her, inclosing money; and then
he stated that which was equivalent to a promise of
marriage. In the next, he expressed himself in
terms of great affection, iielucing a belief that she
was the idol of his soul ; but he always recurred
back to the main trio;, which was musty. "It
freezes my blood, ward the Learned Serie...mt. to deli-
berate upon this usait'scriielry." In the next letter,
he said, " My dearest ILheces, you must bend me
some money to keep me afloat, and by retinal of
Imo, for lam quite on. ; ,ad then he rent on
professing his affection it. telecom leingriuge, calcu-
lated to assure her he would make her reparation
by marriage. Thesi he said, " Your eu'h came
very aproput, for 1 owe for a fortnight's vitae."
—So that to tact be was drawing his whole subsist-
ence front this young woman. He never wrote
to her but when he wanted money. There was
not a single letter in which he did not attempt to
squeeze money out of her He then read a letter,
which, he said, would chew the extent of the D
henanes claim en the feelings of this girl, After
calling her his only life, he mentioned the (main.
statics of a vacancy to a higher rank in the regi-
ment having occurred, which he could obtain by
paying 2.;01. or 3001. ; he laid he had applied, in
mho, to his friends—that he had but one resource,
and then he desired her to exert herself to obtain the
money. One of the articles for which the Plaintiff
claimed was a horse, for which she paid 701. he never
having had a sixpence of his own. In one of his
letters, be said nothing would give Min No much
pleasure as a letter from the Plaintiff, for he WAG
confoundedly off for want of a few isonnds. There
was one letter, which the Learned Serjeant said
pained him exceedingly, for it shelved the avaricious
disposition of the Defendant, and to what an ex-
tent he was practising on the feelings of the Plain-
tilt She had written to him, requesting he would
come to Liverpool. He assured her nothing would
be so gratifying to his feelings. but that belied sot
the menus, as his purse was then, and had beers, in
MR limited a state; but if she would send him a
little money, then he would come—thus availing
himself of her fondness for him to take money out
of her pocket. At last the finances of this poor
young woman were exhausted, and she could tin
longer support him. As soon us she ceased to eend
money to the Defendant, all his flood of fondness
retired back to his nwu bad mind, and he never
gave her another letter.
Mr. Baron WOOO observed, that this was not an
action for damages, bat fur a demand, which the
Plaintiff would have a greet deal of diffiesilty iii
proving without a bill in eqinty. His Lordship,
therefore, recommended, as the best mode, that
the whole matter should be referred to a Gentle-
nem of the Bar, who might examine both parties

on oath.
After some conversation, this was agreed to; and
the Plaintiff's demand, the breach of promise of
marriage, and all matters in difference, were refer-
red to arbitration, upon condition and the letters
should he delivered up to the Plaintiff, as won as
the arbitrator should have made his award.
Miss fiulina was in Court during the whole trial,
and shed tears abundantly while the Learned Ser-
jeant was reading tlw letter.

undaunted bravery displayed by Captain

Inclosed, I have the.honour to transmit Captain
Forrest's letter nn this subject, wherein he speaks
in the highest terms of the spirited conduct of all
the officers and men employed na this OCCI4tIOII.
Were it possible for me to .ay any thing which could
add to the meritorious conduct of so gallant and
good an officer as Captain Forrest, I should most
willingly do it ; but I trust the success of this bril-
liant action will do snore justice to the intrepidity
of every officer and man employed ON this service,
than any language I can possibly use.
I also beg to unclose for your information, a list
