LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(VIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

BREACH OF PROII/SE OF 2119.83L1AGE-COX v. AIt(WELL.

The Arroartier-GerenailL (with whom was Mr.
Rtoxanns) stated, that this was an action brought by the
plaintiff, who was a young lady, daughter of a gentleman
who formerly carried on business at Leicester, to recover
a compensation in damages for a breach of promise of mar-
riage. Mr. Cox had, with that regard that a kind father
evinces for his children, expended a considerable sum of
money on the educatio❑ of his daughters, and they were
very accomplished young ladies. In consequence of these
accomplishments, and the personal attractions they pos-
sessed, Mr. Cox's daughters became the general con-
versation of the neighbourhood ; the eldest Miss Cox
had married a Major in the East India Com-
pany's service. The defendant was the son of a Cler-
gyman, and carried on business in London in partnership
with another gentleman, as a silk merchant ; besides which,
he was likewise interested in a large establishmens in the
cotton trade with a Mr. Evans. Mr. Amwell undertook
the country department, and travelled to obtain orders.—
He was likewise entitled to a considerable fortune at the
death of a relation in Wales. The plaintiff's connection
with Mr. Cox's family conuhenced in the following
manner. In September, 1529, Mr. Cox went into a
public room at Leicester, and enquired whether any gen-
tleman was going to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, as he
should feel obliged, by his makirg enquiries respecting
a ship called the Albion, in which he had some interest.
Mr. Cox happened to be goiag, and undertook the com-
mission, and bearing that the defendant was a gentleman
of great respectability, he invited him to his house, where
he met the plaintiff, whose amiable and agreeable manners
soon engaged his affections. He soon made proposals of
marriage to the plaintiff, who referred him to her father.
Mr. Cox had no objection to the match, but observed,
that as he had expended a considerable sum upon the edu-
cation of his daughters, be had no fortune to give with
them worthy the acceptance of the defendant; indeed,
the sum he could give would be very small. The defend-
ant replied, that his object was not money, that his
circumstances were now such as to enable him to
maintain a wife in respectability and comfort; and
that shortly lie would be in a situation to live in a
very superior style, and even to keep a carriage.
In consequence of this conversation the defendant was
received as the avowed admirer of the plaintiff, and he
continued to pay his addresses for a considerable time,
and a number of letters which would be produced in evi-
dence passed between the parties, the that of which was
dated, Sept. 1, 1928. In that letter he communicated to
the plaintiff that the result of his interview with her
father had been most satisfactory, and that he had con-
sented to their correspondence. He expressed himself in
warm terms of affection. He entreated a long letter in
That letter.fioished with the following poetical

answer.

postscript :—..
" When night and morning, on thy beaded knee,
" Then, dearest Susan, think of me."

This epistolary correspondence continued for a long
time, the defendant occasionally paying visits to Leicester.
In consequence of an accident and severe illness the plain-
tiff was frequently bled in the right arm, which, through
the unskillfulness of the Doctor became slightly, contracted,
which rendered it painful for her to write ; previously to
this she wts a beautiful penwomen. Her sister, knowing
this, and being in the confidence of both parties, acted as her
amanuensis, and wrote theta at her dictation. Of this cir-
cmnstance they supposed the defendant was perfectly aware.
Upon all occasions be mentioned her sister (Miss S. Cox) in
the most affectionate terms. He also said that he had
apprised his father and sister of the engagement he had
formed, and that they were most anxious for its completion,
and ready to receive his future wife with epen arms. Ile
then pressed her to appoint au early day for their marriage.
At the appointed time the plaintiff and his family came up
to London, where, in an interview that followed, the defend-
ant, for the first time, complained of suspicions of disin-
genuousness, in not writing her own letters. She declined
answering the question that day, but promised to do so
on the following occasion. At length, the 7th April
was fixed upon for the celebration of the nuptials,
and the defendant directed the plaintiff to make every
preparation, and to order her bridal dresses, in the
shortest possible time. On the 17th of February, how-
ever the defendant wrote to say that in consequence of
unfavourable accounts he had received of his father's
health lie should be obliged to go into Wales, where, it
was possible he might be detained for some weeks, and
he expressed a doubt whether business would not prolong
his absence for more than a month. On the 27th of Feb.
another letter was received, in which lie repeated his eom-
plaints of her not having written her own letters, and
stating that the dangerous illness of his father would
again call him into Wales. From this period his
attentions very evidently relaxed, until at last
on the day that had been appointed for the wedding be
addressed a letter to the sister, renewing the complaint he
bad previously made. In consequence of this letter Mr.
Cox accompanied his daughter to London, and insisted on
an explanation, when the correspondence was renewed, and
the marriage was appointed to take place in two months
from that period. This engagement the •!,..fendant alto-
gether refused to fulfill, and this action was rendered ne-
cessary to clear the plaintiff's injured feelings and reputatiou.
Miss Sarah Cox, a very interesting young lady, wag
examined at great length. Her evidence proved the facto
stated in the Attorney-General's opening speech.
Mr. DENMAN appeared for the defendant.
The Jury retired, and, :after a short consultation, ro•
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5001.

ROYAL EXPENSES.—A. calculation has been
made of the expenses paid by the nine principal nations
of Europe to support their Sovereigns respectively, includ-
ing the families of each. The gross amount cf their ex-
penses are stated at 180,470,000 of francs, which are
divided as follows : —The Emperor of Russra,4s,ooo,ooo;
King of Faexer, 42,600,000; Emperor of AUSTRIA,
7;7,500,000 ; King of ENGLAND, 25,000,000 ; Sear's,
13,750,000; PRUSSIA, 10,927,500 ; NETHERLANDS,
6,500,000; NArr.e5,5,250,000; PORTUGAL, 3,232,500.
These: expenses, when divided betweee the subjects of each
Monarch respectively, amount to the following ratio :
Russia, 88 centimes (not quite nine.-tenths of a franc) ;
France, 1 franc 86 cents. ; Austria, 1 franc 34 cents. ;
Spain, 1 franc 20 cents. ; England, 1 franc 20 cents. ;
Prussia, I franc ; Netherlands, 1 franc 20 cents. ; Naples,
80 cents. ; Portugal, 73 cents—Court Journal.
On Friday, the 2d instant, the grave of the
Abbot ALEXANDER was found, with the effigy upon it,
walled in between the first and second pillars on the north-
west of the choir of Peterborough Cathedral. When the
effigy was removed, and the lid from the stone coffin, there
appeared the Abbot in his robes, with Ids crosier by his
side, his boots (which were evidently made right and left)
on his feet, and his corpse in a state of comparative pre-
servation ; but alter it had been exposed to the air a
quarter of an hour, the figure was little else than ashes,
like those of wood consumed. On a piece of lead found
inside the stone coffin was the following inscription in
Saxon capitals—." ABBAS ALEXANDER." This Abbot
had been buried 604. years. The remains of the Abbot,
together with the stone coffin, are removed into the new
building at the east end of the cathedral.

CUTTINQ Alen MAIMING..--EXTRAONDINANY CASt.
James Gleaves, aged 20, a spinner, _stood *fisted for,,
having, on the 6th day of September last, at Hyde, in this,:.,,•
county, cut and wounded, with a sharp instrument, Ma-,.,
tilde Arundale, with intent to kill and murder her. The
second co Int laid the offence with intent to do her some
grievous I odily harm ; and the third count laid the offence
with intex.t to cause abortion, she (prosesutrix) being deal
quick with child.
The prisoner, in a firm tone of voice, pleaded " Not
Gui!ty."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. JOHN H. LLOYD
conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CoxrxxcktAla up- -
peared for the prisoner.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hating shortly stated the ,
case, and explained the law upon the subject, called the
following witnesses :r..

Matilda Arundale (a young girl apparently not more
than 16 years of age) examined by Mr. LLOY D.—l am A
weaver, and live at Hyde, in this county, and have known
the prisoner upwards of five years. I have kept cora-
pan), with him about four years. I was pregnant by the
prisoner, and was brought to-bed the 22d of September
last. The child is still alive. I told the prisoner I was preg-
nant, as .10011 as I discovered it, the second month of my
pregnancy. He then said he doubted his being the father
of the child. I swore the child to him previous to the„
month of September last. On the 6th of September be
came to my father's house, and said to me he believed I
had been with another man, and that if he could find it -•
out he should not stand at shooting him. Between eight
and nine o'clock the following evening (Sunday) he came ,
to my father's house, and asked me to go to the •
Wakes with him, and I said I would rather ,
go on the following Monday. He then said I mud
go with him up the street, for he was leaving the
town the next morning, and I very likely should never See
him again; I walked with him into a field, and be and- '
denly put his left arm round my waist, and right under
my petticoats; I can't say how I felt, but I found myself •
in great pain ; I was not able to speak fur five minutes,
but as I recovered and screamed out, the prisoner asked
me what was the matter, :I said " enough, you
have fitted (done) me some nasty trick." He said,
he had not, and that if any thing was the mat-
ter with the I must have been with other men.
He agaiu attempted to put his hand under my clothes, but
I prevented him, and he caught me by the wrist. He
then pulled me about very much. When I returned home'
I found there was blood on the sleeve of my gown where
he had laid his hand, and also my under dress covered with
blood which was flowing from my body. He walked
home with me and left me at my father's door without •
saying a word to me; I felt great pain in the lower,
part of my body, and lay down upon my
About two o'clock in the morning my mother came into•,-'
my room, and seeing that I was in great pain, eked ins..
what was the matter with me ; I said I must hare got
hurt with my scissors ; I said this, because James acted
in such a way that I could not for shame tell my
mother ; I did not for two days tell how the thing oc-
curred. I first told it to the doctor on the Tuesday fol-
lowing. Before I went out that night with the prisoner I
was quite well. I went my full time.

Cr3ss-examined by Mr. Corristurrax—l persisted in
sayiLg• for two days that the injury (lane me was done by
my hcitsor4. I told different persons that it was so done.
I told T.-lantlah White and Martha Holt so. What I told
them was, that I was hurt by my own scissors sebil,t
stooping down to tie my shoes, about three hours before
I left the house with the prisoner. My mother had not
the scissors in her hand when I told this to Martha Holt.
My nt.tther did not say it was wrong in me to fso walk-
ing with the prisoner after such an accident had hap-
pened. When the doctor came to see nae nest day, I did not
tell him hr,w the thing happened, but I afterwards told him
the trath ; I don't know that the scissors with which I
said it was done were shown to the doctor. I think die
field where this happened must be about half a mile troll,
my Ether's house. The prisoner behaved very well
to ma up to this time ; he appeared to be very fond
of me. I never heard that my friends were anxious& that
the prisoner should marry me ; I never asked him to marry
me. I swear that I have not been pregnant more than once.
When the prisoner called on me that evening, a man
natnel Daniel Shepley was with him. I fetched them a
pitcher of beer, and, after they drank it, Shepley left ale
and the prisoner together. The prisoner never said that
he was going to America next morning. After I was hurt
by the prisoner, a woman named Ellen Glover polled
by, but I did not tell her what happened. There are
houses at the end of the field, and that part of it where this
injury was done to me is a public thoroughfare, I never rave
my mother shew the scissors to Mrs. White; I won't swear
that my mother did not shew them to Mrs. White ; many
persons called to see me to enquire how I was.
Its-examined by Mr. LLOYD—I never told my mother
hove it happened until after I told the doctor.
Ellen Glover proved having seen the proseetetrix and
the prisoner in the field together, between nine and ten
o'clock of the night in question. •

Cross-examined by Mr. COTTINGHANI-The Hyde
Wakes were going on at that time, and many persons were
iu Cie habit of passing through this field.
Charlotte Arundale, the mother of the prosecatris,
proved that the prisoner called for her daughter on the
nigllt in question, and that her daughter appeared to be
then in good health, and did not complain during the day
of having been hart. I was at home when she returned,
about eleven o'clock, and I then observed that she could
not stand up, but leaned forward whilst walking.
At two o'clock in the morning, my husband awakened
me. I went to my daughter's room. I found bet
sitting at the foot of the bed, leaning against the
bed-post. I said, " Matilda, art thou poorly ?" She
said " No." I then asked her what was the matter, end
she said she was hurt with her scissors, whilst she was
tying her shoes. I found that her clothes were very bloody,
but I did not particularly examine her person, es I
blushed quite as much:as my daughter did. After the
destor saw my daughter she told a different
story. My daughter did not, until Tussday, tell the
doctor that it was the prisoner who hurt her.
Cross-examined—The seiss.ors were pointed, but I did
not %hew them to Mrs. White, to spew her bow far they
entered into her body. I won't swear that I did m t say
to Mrs. White that I many times warned my daughter
about wearing these scissors; I think I may have told ,hat
to Mrs. White; I never said to any one that. I wished the
prisoner would marry my daughter. I think it a ?iv/
Ceat lie did not marry her, considering the state one etre
; I heard from my dauglitae that the pri.:oner wag
about to leave the country.
Chailes Knowles-.... 1 am a surgeon at Hyde, and was
cent for by Mrs. Arundale to see her daughter ; I forma
the daughter in bed, and having asked what was the mat-
ter, she said she had received a hurt by sitting on a pair
of scissors; I then examined her, and found the lcr.vel
part of her body covered with blood—the labia were
bloody and discoloured, and there was a wound in the
vagina, which appeared to have been inflicted by A
sharp pointed instrument. 1 examined her clothes. 1
could not discover any cut made by the scissors. On the
following day I saw her again, and found her very feveri
I then asked her in what way she had sat on the seissers,
but she gave me no answer. I repeated the question
several times, but she gave rue no answer for near
au hour. She at length told me that it happened in
the w:ty that she has stated here to-day. On the
Friday introduced a ptobe into the wound, which
found 'o be two inches deep in an upward internal
and about half an inch wide. I do not think it
probable that such a wound could be inflicted by sitting
on a pair of scissors; a long-bladed pen-knife might
have inflicted such a woand.

By the CDC c—The wound was in the direction of the
womb, and leached within two inches of the womb. If
the womb had been punctured, I think that miscarriage or
premature labour would follow, and in all probability the
death of the mother (prosecutrix) would be the consequence.
The wound WAS not healed for a fortnight.
Cross-examined—l did not examine the wound until
the Friday, when Dr. Tinker was called in to see a"'
presecutrix. I have been ten years in practice, hnt I boa
nevi known a woman attempt to deliver herself by wing
an initrumeut. I should think no one, except a proles- t
sic)r a, man, could procure a delivery by introducirg aQ
instri.ment into the vagina. 1 won't swear that it isrni- ,
possihie such a wound could be inflicted bye P4l*. 01 '
scissers, but I think it very improbable. The prisoner,
I understand, went to Liverpool the Monday after
this wound was inflicted. He came to my house ors
Thutsday the 10th of September, and inked very kindly
ln..v the girl was going on. Ile also wisbc.l to go nod
act 1.,.er, but I believe Ire was immediately taken into cus-
tody. He appeared very anxious about the girl.

John Tinker, a surgeon at Hyde, corroborated the tes-
timony of the last witnezo, as to the nature of the wound•
In soy judgment such a wound could not have been
dieted by accidentally sitting upon a pair of scissors.
Cross-examined—l believe it impossible that the round
(Tull have been inflicted by a person sitting on azoliztir is'
the usual posture upon a pair of scissors.
