COMMON PLEAS.-FRIDAY.

NORTON V. LORD VISCOUNT MELBOURNE.
Mr. BAYLEY moved the Court on the part of the plaintiff,
the lion. Mr. Norton, for* a rule calling on the defendant to
show cause why a commission should not issue to examine a
witness at present resident in Ireland, whose testimony, it was
sworn, was most material and important to the plaintiff's case.
The Learned Counsel added, that the case was set down for
trial at the Sittings after Term, arid, consequently, it was de-
sirable that as little delay as possible should take place. He
trusted, therefore, that as the parties and their attorneys were
all resident in London and its neighbourhood, the Court would
grant a rule returnable in four days.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—You may take a rule, and let
it be drawn up for Monday next, so that cause may be shown
on Tuesday morning.

YOUNG V. MURPHY.

This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The
declaration averred that the defendant had subsequently to the
(alleged) promise married another woman. The defendant
pleaded, first,. that lie had made no such promise ; secondly,
that subsequently to the alleged promise having been made, he
discovered, and was informed, that the plaintff was unchaste
and immoral, and had improper intercourse with another man
(naming him), and had become pregnant and been delivered
of a child, which information was true ; and, thirdly, that the
plaintiff bad committed fornication with divers persons to the
defendant unknown, and had become pregnant and been de-
livered of a child. To the two latter pleas the plaintiff
demurred.
Mr. PEACOCK, in support of the demurrer, contended, first,
the issues were too vague and general. To allege that
the
of unchas:::

persons to the defend ant unknown, and that she had becomi7
pregnant, without stating that her pregnancy was the conse-
quence of those acts of fornication.—( Laughter.)
The COURT asked how she could have become pregnant, if
not in consequence of acts of fornication?
Mr. PEacacx said, that the acts of fornication were al-
leged to have been committed with persons to the defendant
unknown, and that the plaintiff had become pregnapt. Now,
it was perfectly consistent with the latter allegation that she
had been seduced by the defendant himself under a promise of
marriage.
Mr. Serjeant TADDT.—In that case she might reply de in-
juria sua propria.—( Great laughter.)
Mr. PEACOCK contended, that in the present case the plain-
tiff had a right to reply that the alleged pregnancy was the
result of the defendant's own wrongful act, which she could
not do by a general replication:
Mr. Justice Vanattax.—l, for onr, by no means concur in
the doctrine that a woman's consenting to commit fornication
with a man who has promised to marry her is net a sufficient
answer to an action for the breach of such promise.
Mr. Justice PARK.—Nor I either.
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL—The Court would allow the
plaintiff to amend if she chose.
The demurrer was then overruled, with leave to the plaintiff
to amend the pleadings, on payment of costs.

MEETING of the FREEHOLDERS, and other ELECTORS of
MIDDLESEX, on WEDNESDAY next, the Bth day of June in-
stant, at Twelve o'clock precisely, at Lieut. Hall's Riding School,

means to give to the people of Ireland an Act for the Reform of
the Municipal Corporations of that country, similar to those which
have been enacted and are now in force in England and Scotland."
,And (after the foregoing business shall have been finished) in
pursuance of another requisition of Freeholders numerously signed,

nopoly of the great coal owners on the Tyne and Wear, and pro-
moting competition in this article of first necessity, by opening va-
rious new sources of supply, which have been proved to exist in ex-
tensive districts of the south and south-west parts of the county of
Durham."

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced tlds day
at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock.

The adjourned debate on the Irish Tithe Bill has at last
been brought to a close, and has terminated, as we had
anticipated, in favour of the Ministerial measure. On the
division, which took place at three o'clock this morning,
there appeared 300 for the second reading of the Bill, and
261 for Lord STANLEY'S amendment, leaving, in propor-
tion to the number of Members who voted, a much greater
majority than has ever yet sanctioned the principle of appro-
priatiort.- The cock-boat which the Dilly-driver launched
to save his Tory friends from drowning, has thus sharCd no
better fate than the unfortunate vehicle which he formerly
conducted. The one was upset—the other has foundered ;
and the Noble Lord has the satisfaction of reflecting, that
he has proved himself as clever a band at the helm, as on
the box.

Of the speeches delivered last night, we have neither
space nor inclination to enter into a minute examination. The
truth is, the subject had been so exhausted by the Members
who had spoken in the earliec period of the debate, that hardly
any thing new in the way of argument or illustration was
left for those who on this occasion occupied the attention
of the House. We must, hoNever, except the speech of
the Hon. Member for Southwark. There was a good deal
of originality both in his speech—and also, if we have been
rightly informed—in his position, the Hon. Member having
seated himself between Lord STANLEY and Sir ROBERT*
PEEL, apparently not much to the satisfaction of either.
That Mr, DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY is a man of talent
no one will deny. As little, we imagine, will it be denied
that his talents have not been so useful to himself
or to his country as they might have been, why
this has so happeaed we cannot tell. Whether it
is that great abilities are not always accompanied
by sound discretion, or that wayward fortune takes
a malicious pleasure in persecuting those who are distin-
guished for their high moral and intellectual qualities, and
in counteracting their best laid schemes, we leave to philo.
sophers to determine ; but the fact is indisputable, that while
there are few abler men than Mr, HARVEY in the House
of Commons, there is not one there whose opinion puries
less weight. For what reason Mr. HARVEY should have
deemed it his dlitiy to oppose the second reading of the Irish
Tithe Bill last night it is not kr 1-10 to ;TIP*: Still
less can we understand the Learned Gentleman's motive
for accwiog his MAJESTY'S Ministers of hypocrisy in
bringing forward such a meO4FP! e will no doubt be
fully prepared to answer to his constituents for his conduct,
when he next addresses them on the necessity a union
among #eformers—on the dutl of ever' true Reformer
