about 33. My late husband was a merchant in the
Ru. . trade. Defendant's brother, John, married my
daughter, Susannah, in 1851. Defendant before that
time told me he wished to - marry Sophy, and that it
married.
should take place the same day his brother was •d.
T said I would rather net. I thought one marriaget a
time was sufficient. I added I would write toI a
son
who is a civil engineer in India, and ask his
coynsent:
When I afterwards gave my consent defendant appeared
very much 'delighted. Defendant wrote to
my, son for
his consent, which he obtained. During 1851 and 1852 he visited, my daughter every day, and drove us fre-
quently out in his phaeton. Their marriage was-fixed
for the 10th of February, 1852. Wedding dresses,' Sec.,
were prepared. The marriage did mt take place,
tacause no notice whatever was taken of it by defendant.
He was then lodging at Brixton. My daughter went
with me to Paris in 1852. Defendant promised to
come to us there at Christmas. He did not not come.
He corresponded with her and made her presents.. Re
became less attentive about a month before we left for
the Continent. [A long correspondence was put in and
read, but there was nothing particularly interesting in
it. It concluded by defendant's saying,. " he• would re-
lieve the plaintiff from her engagement."] Her spirits
were mach affected, and she is still debilitated. After
he broke off the engagement he wrote, demanding back
his letters and somethings he had left with my daughter.
They were not delivered up. In March last a person
calli.ng himself a Bew-street officer came to the house to
demand back defendant's letters and presents. • He came
three times. I saw the defendant outside while the
officer'was in the house. I demanded his authority. As
he bad none to show he was sent out of the-house.
Miss Maria Evans—l am sister of plaintiff. At the
time of my sister Susannah's marriage with defendant's
brother, defendant told me he intended to ask Sophia to
marry him. He was constant in his attendance after-•
wards until my mother and sister went to Paris. I agree
with my mother as to the effect of breaking off-the mar-
riage on my sister's health.
Mr. Hooper, an accountant, deposed that he was pre-
sent at it conversation between Mr. Atkinson, the plain-
tiff's attorney, and the defendant. Mr. Atkinson said.it"
was a very disgraceful thing to send an officer to ladiee,,
who were unprotected, on the charge of stealing trinkets,,
and demanded the name of the officer. • DefeMlent
prondied to give, the jiame in two days. He did not.d9 so.
Mr. Atkinson gave up to defendant his presVnts to Miss
Evans, and defendant gave a receipt for their. I khow
plaintiff, and believe she has seriously suffered in health_
in consequence of defendant's conduct.

Miss Emma Newman—l remember a man comink to
Mrs. Evans' house, and stating he was a Bpw-street;offf-
aer. $e said he had come fur some articles belonging
to Mr. Scott; which Mr. Evans had.' He said he would
search the house, and tale Mrs. Evans and her daughter
into custody if they did not give the things up. His
authority was demanded, and the door loCked npori him,
When he did not produce it, . After, that he continued,
With other persons, to knock at the door.
' Mrs. A. Robinson deposed that alady.haa stately .I;een.
