On the part of the Defendant !. - '
Mary jahnson was called, ,wl, swore,--" I.
was a servant, -at that time, in house of Mr.
White, I remember the dispute between:, them
diout the dinner. The Ladies cm not like the
dinner, and, said, it was not fit fr dogs to eat.
Mr. White was sent for. I was at in the room
when the dispute arose, and, theribre, I do pot
know how it began."
Here it was proposed to shew tle printed Re-
gulations
of the Defendant's house, to shew that
these young Women did not conbrm to those
Regulations; but this was over-rued, as not be-.
ing legal evidence; for the only 2uestion to be'
decided was, Whether the Speeci of the _De-
fendant's Wife' was such as terrifiel the Plaintiff,
so as to justify her, in her then simation, in go-
ing away, and seeking better usage in another
place, for if so, most unquestionably there was
a good foundation for this ACtion: because, the
,Money, in such case, was gives to the De-
fendant for nothing.
The Counsel for the Delenclantkas going to re-
ply, but he was stopped by Lord KENYON, who
said to the Learned Gentleman, " I think you
need not trouble yourself. It seems to me most
clear, that this Money may be recovered of this
Defendant, by this Mlion. In what manner
these young Women got into' the situation which
they have described to us, is not matter for our
inquiry : We all know, and we alt feel, that
when they are in that situation; they are "objects
of compassion, and those who have any, will
never fail to bestow it on them, and they ought
to have every decent comfort which their condi-
tion calls for. The 'words of the Defendant's
Wife arc proved--" Why, provoke blood, do
you not know that your lives are in out hands,
and, depend upon it, I will make you-suffer bye
.and bye." I apprehend, that if the Defendant
were to write these words over his door, few
would seek protettion or' shelter under his roof.
I cannot help, saying, that there is, in this Case,
something that human nature revolts at, Consider-
ing froth whom these words came, and to whom
they were direCted. Instead of such cruel ex-
pressions, the greatest t,nderness ought to have
been shewn to these 'unhappy Females. I am
bound to tell, you, Gentlemen, that, in my opi—
nion, the Plaintiff's Case is fully made out, and,
if you are of,that opinion you will chearfully
give your Verdk tbr 'the Sum deManded:—l
. •
think this a Case of great Public importance."
Verdi& for the Plaintiff—Damages Fourteen
Pounds Vourteen Shillings.
