sasence of her visi;s Ifs 11 tnnah Tae !or, who resided with'the
defendant as a screat.t 1t appeared that the defendant's wife
had eloped with Col. Bedingfield, for which he h.s.l received
from the Colonel 10001. damages ;and the defendant, in order to
insinuate. himself into tl:e good graces of the young ady, repre-
sented himself as willing to marry her at the dent.. at his wife,
hich he stated as likely to happen very shell' 7. By these
promises he sedUced her. Aft the seductioe 11:.1 taken place.
she wa4 desirous of giving up t to connection, b'ut was induced
to renew it in consequence of the defendant threatening to make
her sister and a person of the name of Ellis, who paid his ad-
dresses to her, acquainted with her conduct. unlers she repeated
her vis;ts. The consequence was, that she did, and proved with
child. She afterwards went to her friends at Birmingham, who
applied to the defendant to give his bond, engaging to marry her
at his 14 ife's heath, which he refused to do. Other circumstances
-were given in evidence, which would be improper in us to stale.
The plaintiff's (laughter was cross examined at considerable
Jeegth by Mr. Jervis, who attempted to prove that tho religions
education of the plaintiff's daughter had not beep properly
attenderrta—and that she had permitted Ellis to sit up with her,
after her father had t see to bell ; het in this he failed.—Befide
the plaintiff's (laughter, one witness only was called in support
of his case, to prove the refusal of the defendap; to enter into
any engageMent to marry ber after his wife's defith ; and that
;'pun the girl's frieuk expostulating with him as to his condqct,
he admitted that he was much to be blamed.—Mr. Jervis ad-
dressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, particularly ad-
verting to the itaproper acquaintance of the plaintiff's daughter
With Hannah Taylor, whom he stated to be an entit person for
her to associate with ; to the neglect of the plaintiff in giving
his daughter a religinqs education; and hls suffering her to visit
thc defendant, whom he knew to be a married man, living sepa-
rated from his wife; and, in support of the latter part of his
argument, he cited the case of Red4ic aqd l coolt, Peake's Nisi
ileitis, 240.
The Judge, in summing up, in the first place, took notice of
the ease referred to by Mr. Jervis, which he said did not apply
to the present question, as }here was no evidence to shew that
.the plaintiff was acquainted with the defendant's attentions to
his daughter. Ile then took a twist perepiettatts review of the
case, giving it as hie opinion, that the girl's mire! was not de-
bauched previously to her seslection by -the defendant; that it
by tin means appeared that her father had neglected her religious
education, hut hail, on the contrary, attended* to it ; reminded
the Jury, that the defendant had admitted that blame was im-
putable to him alone, and concluded by recommendieg them, in
fixing the damages, to Miter: :o the maxim of doing unto others,
as they would others should a unto them.
The Jury consulted some few minutes, and returned a verdict
for 3CO/.

There were many tireamstances which were brunght
forwarn at this trial. The Cow! t l .fe.r the defendant attempted
to show thht it was a custom in Wolverhampton, for women to
he taken on teases, end that the plaintiff had offered his daiighter
to the defendant on these terms. This. however, was not proved.
Some pulling of cups, and very un-141y-like terms appeared in
the ev tdence, which affected the claims of the plaintiff in a very
considerable degree.

Miss Clarke appeared an interesting and well-dressed girl, and
save bed depositions in tears.
