HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, JULY 26.
SF.DUCTION—BENDALL Y. ARNELL.
This was an action to recover damages from the de-
fendant for having seduced and debauched the wife of
the plaintiff.
M.t. Chambers having opened the case, called
James Bendel!, who deposed that he was the plaintiff's
nephew, produced the certificate of a marriage between
his uncle and Rose Botwright on the Ist July, 1848.
He was not present at the marriage, but he visited them
afterwards, and they appeared to live happily together.
His uncle carried on the business of a tailor, and his
wife worked as a dressmaker. His uncle went into the
hospital in 1853, and remained there fifteen months.
Cross-examined—Witness keeps a dancing academy
in Circus-street, New-road. Persons were admitted te
his rooms on piyment of 6d. each. Some people might
call the establishment a Casino, but lie called it a dancing
academy, and he kept a dancing master for the purpose
of teaching dancing. This person also acted as master
of the ceremonies, and he introduced the male and fe-
male visitors to each other. (A. laugh.) The plaintiff'+
wife was in the habit of coming to his dancing rooms.
Sometimes she came with her husband before he went
into the hospital. After ho went there she used to coire
to the rooms with a young woman named Jennings.
He did net know who Miss Jennings was, nor where she
lived. The plaintiff was about 52, and his wife was
about 28 years old. The plaintiff's wife lived with him
for 18 months or two years before they were married.
The Chief B:iron asked the witness what he meant by
saying that they "lived together?" Did he mean that
they cohab'ted together as man and wife I
The witness said he did.
Mr. James—And did she not live with another person
before she lived with your uncle ? and did not that per-
son give Your uncle 2001. to marry her?
Witness —I had heard that she did live with some one
before she lived with my uncle, but I don't know any-
thing of his receiving 2001. to marry tier.
By the Court—lt was not any part of witness's busi-
ness to inquire into the character of the persons who
visted his establishment.
The Chief Baron—Then it was sixpence to pay and no
questions asked ? (A laugh.)
Witness—Exactly, my lord.
John Cozens, of 67, Waverley-road, Harrow-road,
Proved that in March, 1853, the wife of the plaintiff en-
gaged a lodging in his house, which she occupied fur five
months. During the whole of that period she was con-
stantly visited by the defendant, whom sbe introduced
as her brother John. He frequently stayed all night.
Cross-examined—They used at first to consider that
the defendant was a very affectionate brother.
Mr. James—l believe at last, however, you began to
entertain a little suspicion of their proceedings ?
Witness—A very strong suspicion indeed (A laugh.)
Mrs. Jane Bullock proved that the plaintiff's wife
occupied a room in her house for a few days and that the
defendant visited her there, and upon one occasion they
were in a bed-room together. She complained to Mrs.
Bendall of her conduct.
Cross-examined—She once saw Miss Jennings at her
own apartment, and Mrs. Bendall was nursing her.
Mr. James—Come, now, you can't object to tell us
whether there was not a young child -a very young
child, you know what I mean—in the room. (Laughter.)
Witness--I shan't tell you. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. James—Well, did you ask whose child it was ?
Witness—Oh, certainly not.
The Chief Baron—How very discreet ! (A. roar of
laughter.)
This closed the case for the plaintiff.
Mr. James then addressed the jury for the defendant.
The Chief Baron having summed up, the jury, after a
short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff-
damages ls.
