to preserve the venerable institutions of the country from teing
.perverted to the lowest iniLthe baseit uses:.
The CouRT intimated that they would now hear the Counsel
for Mr. Hector, whom they, had. before st.oppec;l.
Messrs. ADAM and MERRiWEATHEit -contended that Mr.
Mean-had denied every part of the charge to which his atten-,
tion had been distinctly drawn. There was no one allegation Of
fact which he had not refuted l but he had not thought` it ne-!'
cessary always to deny motives imputed to him on the mere be ••
lief of his enemies. Even. if the Court belieired every circuni-
stance urged against him, they would noffind any ground for '
I a criminal proceeding, but would leave the questions at issueto
be tried in the ordinary course, which would answer every pur-
pose of dispassionate justice.
The Judges consulted together for more than 20 minutes ;
after which
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said—We think, if we were
now to make this rule absolute, we should prejudice the trial
of the quo warranto informations which are pending here ;
therefore, we shall give no opinion on the case till_ the first day
of next term.
The Court were occupied'with'the case' till 5 o'clock.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, J-trriE 8.
PUGILISM.-HUNT V. BELL. •
This was an hction brought against the Editor of the MeV,
Dispatch, for having publishetra libel on the plaintiff, who Is
the 'keeper of the Tennis Court, stating, that he only exhibited
at that place boys and raggamuffin ,s , and that none of the real
" men of science" among the pugilists would in future attend
to display their skill at any other place than the Fives Court.
The Jury had been told by the Chief., Justice at the trial that
these exhibitions were illegal, and they consequently, found a
verdict for the defendant. • .
Mr. Serjeant BosAsQuET now.moved for .a rule to she,
cause why there should not be anew trial, on the ground of
misdirection by the Judge, but
The COURT unanimously refused the ride,' and confirmea.
his Lordship's decision.
The CHIEF JUSTICE afterwards sat at NisiPrius.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. 4
MATTHEWS V. REYNOLDS.
Mr. Serjeant PELL stated that this was an action brought by
the plaintiff, a widow lady, to recover a compensation in damage'l!
from the defendant for a breach of promise of marriage.--
appeared that the plaintiff was about forty-five years of age,alla
the defendant at least ten-years older. In 181.5. the former Ina'
band of the plaintiff died, and the defendant was appointed of
of the executors of the will. In 18•20, the defendant mat' e
posals of marriage, and in the August of the following year eh-
tered into a marriage settlement, by which all the prapertythe
plaintiff possessed was settled an her, to be absolutely at her
disposal. In last November the defendant refused to perform
his contract, and the present action was then instituted.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN addressed the Jury for the defend-
ant. He observed, that in this case no wounded affections nor,
hopes of settlement for life had been blasted by-the conduct 43'
the defendant, and he trusted, therefore, that if the Jury gay
any damages, they wotdd strictly measure them by-the Min'
sustained, which, in his opinion, was little or nothing.
Lord Chief Justice DALLAS charged the Jury, who, after
consulting for about ten minutes, 'found a verdict for the plain-
tiff—Damages 501.
