ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Lincebt, March 1.
ETANDALOFT V. CODDINGTON.

This was an action for a breach of promise of
marriage.
Mr. klumfrey, QC., and Mr. Flowers appeared for
the plaintiff; Mr.
.Macaulay, Q.C., for the defendant.
The plaintiff, Miss Agenura Standaloft, is a lady's
maid; about forty-two years of age, in the service of
Mrs. Benson, of Utterby, in this county, and has
been so for a great many years. The defendant, who
is about the same age, was formerly coachman in the
same family ; and in the year 1837, when be left
that service and went to Loudon, was engaged to be
married to the plaintiff. The defendant upon going
to London, went into the
service of General Fuller-
ton, and so remained until the autumn of 1847, when
be took a public-house in East-street, Manchester-
square, and was married to a young woman in the
same stetion of life, and without money. From the
year 1837 the plaintiff and defendant had never met;
until March, 1846. A few of the defendant's letters
were read in evidence, dated at considerable intervals,
but a correspondence was kept up between them
in which the defendant frequently assured the plain-
tiff that he had no notion of marrying any one else ;
nor did it =appear that he had, for the last of those
letters was in March, 1846, and his acquaintance
with his present wife did not begin till the early part
of the year 1847. In November of that year the
marriage took place, and this action was not com-
menced until the month of January in the pre-
sent year

Mr. MACAULAY, on the part of the defendant, ad-
mitted that a promise was proved, but contended that
this was the attorney's action, brought for the sake of
getting costs, and that the smallest amount of damages
would meet the justice of the case. The plaintiff
was a highly respectable and excellent young woman,
whose merits be was instructed to admit to the fullest
extent; but it was idle to suppose that she bad suf-
fered any grievous disappointment from the conduct
of the defendant, who bad beard nothing of the plain-
tiff since 1846, and had been led to suppose that the
engagement formerly subsisting between them had,
by a sort of tacit consent, come to an end. He had
now a wife and family
to support, and bis ruin would
be the consequence if by the verdict of the jury he
should be called upon to pay any serious amount of
damages.
The jury retired for a short time, and returned
with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s.

ritICKEE V. WATILINBON.
This was an action of libel.
Mr. Hutufrey, Q.O , Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr.
W. 11. Adams were counsel for the
Sergeant Miller for the defendant.
