BREACH or PROMISE of MARRIAGE.—On Saturday, a
very unusual case of breach of promise was tried at the
Stafford Assizes. It was brought by Miss Sarah Ann
Adcock, aged 22, the only daughter of a gentleman of
some position in Birmingham, to recover damages of
Mr. Russell, by reason of his failing to make her his
wife. The preparations for the marriage had proceeded
as far as the deed of settlement and the purchase of the
licence, but in this state of things the happiness of the
loving pair was destroyed by the reports of a neighbour-
ing Mrs. Gossip, who confidentially informed the mother
of young lady that the intended bridegroom was in
a state of health which rendered his marriage highly im-
proper. Medical advice was immediately obtained, and
the report was ascertained to be a pure invention ; but
the evil tongue had produced its effect, and the gentle-
man, disgusted with the nature of the reports spread to
his prejudice, broke off the match. So far all would
have been right, and he would have been
perfectly jus-
tified in his conduct, but unfortunately he continued his
intimacy with his intended bride and her family for seve-
ral months before he intimated his intention of with-
drawing from the engagement, during which time the
marriage preparations were continued. Under these
circumstances the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff,
with 1001. damages,
