SINGULAR CASE OF BREACH OF PROMISE OF
e to assess damages
It seems that the
MARRIAGE.—At the County Sberifrs Court, at
York Castle, on Wednesday, before W. Gray, Esq., un-
der-sheriff, the jury were emPail
?.ell
in the case of "Townhend Smith." d
defendant was a farmer at a place called Goole Grange
ar!.til January, 1862, in the capacity of
Farm, near Howdes, and the plaintiff, Harriett Townhend,
lived with him
housekeeper. During the time that she was there the de-
fend
gatiantmade overtures to her, and promised her marriage,
and niate!y the usual arrangements were proceeded with,
and cards of Invitation for a dinner party consequent on the
proposed Wedding were issued. Two or three days, however,
before the latter event was fixed to take place, the defendant
was taken suddenly ill, and the ceremony was postponed,
and, up to the present time, he had neglected to perform his
promise. It was shown that the defendant- was worth
about £7,000 or £B,OOO, and lived on a farm of some £7OO
a year. The damages were laid at £5OO. For the defence
it was shown and attempted to be proved that nine years
ago the plaintiff had had a child by a fellow-servant named
Smith, to whom it was believed she was married, and a
number of letters were put in and read, which were signed
" Harriet Smith." This man was now in America, and it
was difficult to prove the marriage. The defendant had
latterly taken to drinking hard, and at the last assizes he
was tried for the murder of his man-servant. He was now
penniless, and the smallest amount of damages would be
sufficient, for if the promise had not been broken the woman
must have committed bigamy, in consequence of her former
marriage.—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for
4 100.

DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE.—A curious incidtnt
took place a few days since at St. Menges (Ar-
dennes). A body was about to be buried in the cemetery,
when the grave digger, who had prepared the grave over
night, and who attended the religious ceremony at the
church, hastened on in advance of the cortege to see that all
was right. On looking into the grave he perceived that
some of the earth had fallen in, and descended to clear it
out, when he was suddenly struck with apoplexy, and fell
lifeless into the grave. When the funeral arrived surprise
was expressed at the absence of the necessary official, when
a person looking into the grave saw him lying at the bot-
tom. He was got out, but all attempts to restore animation
were vain, and some of the attendants were compelled to
complete tha tall for him.
