LANCASTER ASSIZES. <e

CIVIL SIDE.

THVIIMAY, MARCH 20.--This day commenced
the Assizes for this place, before Mr. Justice Itookt,
and Mr. Justice CiukiiaßE..

The first cause, on the Civil Side which attracted
any notice was an anion brought by SchOleS and
Kirk'
..*ainst Hampson and Merriett, and which was
of some importance to the mercantile world, as ex-
hibiting the means of becoming guarantee for the
' debt of another, without an Undertaking in Writing,
as .required by the Statute of Frauds. , •
• The Plaintitls are respenable Cotton dealers in the
town of Manchester. The Defendant, Hampson,
had applied to them. to fui-nish him With a quantity
of cotton. This they refused to do, unless he coUld-
procure some one-to be answeral)le fhr the paynient.
For this purpose he afterwards brought with him the
other Defendant, Merriott, who was a near relation
of Hampson, but no way connected
.With him in
trade. -The Defendant,- Merriott, then' reqUested
the Plaintiffs to let the other Defendant„HampSon,
have what cotton he might want, and aki-eed
yethally that-the credit should he given: to'Hamp-
son and-himselfjointly, and the invoices be made
out An their joint names. In cOnseqtience of this
agreement; 'the Plaintiffs sold and delivered -seVeral
lots of cotton to Hampson, gliring, the credit and
making out the invoices to him jointly with Mer-.
ribtt ; and payments were frim time to time re-
ceived by the Plaintiffs froth }Tampion, on account
of such CottOa. After Wards Hampson became in-
stilvenf, and there being. then due it _considerable
,balance to the flaintiln, this anion was brought to
recover it.,

The Defendant HarnpSOn had let judgment go by
default; arid the' only questiOn was, as to the liability
of INferriott.

. ,
The above were the faas proved on the part of the
Plaintiff, by whose Counsel it was. contended, that
this evidence went to prove a partnership between the
Defendants as to this trausadion, and that both were
equally liable.
Oa the other hand it was argued, that as Merriott
was not connected at all in trade with Hampson,
:and was not to reap any benefit from the contra6ts
in question, this was. not to be considered as a part-
nership transaCtiorr, but that Merriott was merely
the guartmtee of Hampson's payments ; in which
case, by the Statute of Frauds, he could not
be liable unless his undertaking had been in writ-
ing ; otherwise, that by such a kind of device, the
Statute might in cases similar be. evaded, and be-
come nugatory-.
_ _ _

But NI-, )listice CHAMERE being of opinion, that
this was not a case that came within the statute, of
Frauds ; the Jury, under his direction, found a yer-
diCt for the whole of th 9 demand.

LEYCF.STER V. lIULAIE.

This was an aetipn brought :against the Defend,-
ant, for the sedudion of tire Plaintiff's daughter.
The. case. was very forcibly stated by Mr. Tor-
,PING the Plaintiff, and--the faits, as stated by
-111 tn, were substantiated by the principal witness,
Ellen Leycester, .nearly astollows.,:.
The Plaintiff was her father, and kept a public 7
house near Manchester, in the road leading from
Middleton to Bury. The Defendant was the son of
aft eminent printer and manufaaurer, in Manches-,
ter, who bad sojuc print works about a mile distant
from the Plaintiff residence, 'Where the Defendant
resided. Sild first becaMe acquainted with the De--
fendant about three years ago ; she was then seven-
teen, and he eighteen yeai•A' The Plaintiff
sheaved her particular attention fin- a`long time, and
she had every reason to believe his vie*s were ho,-
nourable.; , He visited her frequently at her father's
house, two or three times a week; but neVer at im-
:proper hours. She neve;., went out with the De-
fendant but once, to ,a concerts, in' company with
her sister. Lie Defendant .once asked her and her
sister to go to a wake, which they refused ; he then
said to her, " Why do you doubt me ?. If I were of
tige I would.marry youto-morrow ; but I am afraid
of disobliging my father." At other times, he told
her, that when he came of age . ne should have an
estate, and be taken into partner Ship, with his father.
It was
:two years alter their-first acquaintance before,

•
any,criminal'interCourse I-66k ,plaCe ',between thorn ;
she had a child in consequefice ;' and the'Defendant
frequently promised her marriage,, both before and
since. She then proved the 'hand-writing of three
JettefS",' which were read.. and contained'expressioni
- of affe6lion from, the Defendant to•ber; but nothing
like a promise or idea of marriage.
On her cross-earnination, she admitted that her
father -bad, a short time befbre his *king--'the public
house, been a . day-labourer -; her -sisters were Ns-
tian-cntterS, .arid she as:;isted lief mother in the
hOuSe ; her'father'S was a small public house. She
knew the Defendant to be Jt young man of an opu-
lent ,and respeßable tinnily.' That, the first time
Defendant came, into. her, father's house, was in
cone with two other young men, to, call for
soiriething to' drink -;
.witnesa, and her tW-o sisters
were 'then a back room. That her -mother'invited
the young men to go into the back room, tier her
daughters were playinc,,areards, and would be glad
of their company. She had never seen Defendant'
before; The Defendant and the Other yoking -men
used_ frequently, to come afterwards; they came
*about &alit, o'clock at night, and. stayed till about
eleven. ,She had mentioned. the Defendant's pro-
mises of marriage tolier father, but he had never
communicated them to the Plaintiff'S fathei% • She.
had often sat in the Defendant's lap, and her sister
in the lap of one of the other young .men. .Her fa-
ther and mother bad seen them sitting so.
Mr. PARKE) on the part of the Defendant, then
addressed the Jury, and stated, that he 'felt, if he
were inclined to.press it, that hiS Client was entitled
to their verdiCt. He was not, however, instru6ted
.to pres`s for that, which might be ruinous in its con-
sequences to the Plain/tiff, and he •should content ..
hiroselfirierely with stiewing, that-hisscOndu6t had
'been such as not .to entitle bin) to any thing more,
than nominal Damages, which he was, ready to al-
low hiM. The Plaintiff', be,observed, hid been for
two years attempting to entrap this very young man
into a marriage which' was altogether unsuitable. to:
him, and must have been in its consequences ruinous
to himself, anti most distres.:iing<ta bisfamily: that;
in furtherance of this ,plan, he bad-on many occa-.
skins, oectithe-aI,MOSi 4Tie Very p-ander of the criminal

of marriage said- to havi'been- held -out-by- the De-,
fendant,and the entire fiiilute•of.thoseparticulatiied,
both in the conversations mentioned, and in the let-
tefs; and observed on their.never having been com-

After Mr. Justice CiIANBIE. had summed
evidence, with sonic 'the nature of the
a6tion and the conautl Of the Plaintiff;
brought in a verdia for the Piaintiff--,,Dainagus,toL-
