Mr. Macaulay, for theThefence,contended that the time

to have brought the action was after the last letter in Oc-
tober,lBs2, was written, when the engagement had evi•
dently been broken off ; but the defendant preferred lying
by until the defendant had married, and then bringing her
action vindictively for revenge. He submitted she was
entitled to the smallest possible damages.
His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury to disregard
the speeches of the learned council on both sides, which in
those cases were steorotyped. The plaintiff was always at
one time " raised to the pinnacle of hope," and at another
" sunk in the abyss of despair," by the defendant's con-
duct ; and on the other side, it was usual to say" thesmall-
est coin in the realm would satisfy the damage she had
sustained." Thojury must form their judgment from the
facts proved, and give such damages as they thought the
case required.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 50.
