EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY

COLE V. SCOTT..—CRIM. CON.
The pleadings having been opened by Mr. MANSZL,
Mr. ERLE stated the case to the jury. lie appeared for the
plaintiff, who sought some compensation in damages for one of
the greatest injuries which one man could inflict upon another--
he charged the defendant with having had criminal conversation
with his wife. The plaintiff was in humble circumstances—he was
a servant, an why a Special Jury- had been summonest to
try the case, he (Mr. Erle) could not conceive, unless it were
to heap up expenses on the case ; whatever was the reason,
he felt obliged to the defendant for giving him a Jury of
such knowledge and experience as the one he had the honour
to address. The plaintiff was married at St. George's Church on
the 14th of July, 1831 ; both were then servants in places, and were
not so well off in the world as to enable them to set up an esta-
blishment, and it was arranged that they should each fur sometime
at least, remain in their respective situations. After some months
the wife of the plaintiff left her situatiion, and the plaintiff took
lodgings for her in Chester-street, which was near his roaster's
house, so that whenever his duty would allow him he might pass
his time in her society. The plaintiff found that he could
not afford the expence of keeping his wife doing nothing in
lodgings, and accordingly in the middle of 1832 she again went
to a situation in Pall-mll, \vh:le the p!iinti" was in a place
in Belgrave-square, so that they had many opportuniiies of seeing
each other. In April, 1833, Mrs. Cole was obliged to leave her
situation in consequence of pregnancy ; and then the plaintiff, being
