C OMPETITION, or the TRIUMPH of
MERIT.
" To those who from honour have never yet so erv'd
Due ',ref' ence conceding," an A.g.ent obsered,
" The Public, fair Candour still prone to inherit,
Are e,nided, and justly, by intrinsic merit—
Impartially then by true test to attain
A knowledge whose Blacking your favour stall gain,
These un-labell'd bottles I place on the table,
From London Competitors each ; and that able
Of choice you may be, on these Boots quickly, boy,
Your polishing brushes with care now ampky."
Six different Blackings in Honour's pursuits,
forth then to*grace the like number of Bouts;
While known Amateurs mark'd the progress of each,
A prefrence by surpassing lustre to teach.
The task when completed,—" No difficult choice,"
These judges exclaim'd, with unanimous voice,
Whosoever the Blacking this bottle contains
Of Victory the palm must decidedly gains ;
Here art gives this Boot with resplendence to class
Unrivall'd that glows with the radiance of glass;
While each of the others apparently prays
Permission to hide its now diminish'd rays." -
" The triumph of Merit your lodgment proclaims."
Elately the dissenting Agent exclaims,
Reversing. the boric, svla i. L each eye met
The now reveardlabel of " Warren's fine Jet."
While thus, all abash'd, Competition withdrew,
More mark'd the applause by the Amateurs grew.
" Thus Warren'' they said, " has established his name,
Despite of Detraction, in permanent fame."

NISI Paws COURT.—Befure Mr. Justice BuRROUGH.
CIUM. CON.
ALWAY?LS NIBLETT.

Mr. RUSSELL stated that this was an action for criminal con-
versation had by the defendant with the plaintiff's wife.
Mr. LUDLOW opened the case as one attended with circum-
stances of aggravation, although the parties did not move in a
very exalted circle. The plaintiff, a young man about 28 or
30 years of age, carried on the business of a brazier in the town
of Thornbury. He had been for some years married to his pre-
sent wife, who had brought him four children. The defendant
was also a married man, a tradesman like the plaintiff, in Thorn-
bury, and in habits of intimacy with his family. Under these
circumstances, a criminal intercourse had taken place between
Mr. Niblett and Mrs. Alway, which had blasted the comfort
and the happiness of the plaintiff for ever. The intercourse
had subsisted for some time before it came to his knowledge,
as the defendant purchased the silenc'e of his servants ; but
as soon as he knew it, lie quitted the society of his wife,
and in a few days desired her to leave his roof. \s9th the
knowledge of his wife's dishonour, his health and spirits
failed; he became a wanderer from his home; and had been
obliged to give up the business, to which he was incapable of
attending. His wife was now living in a house belonging to
.the defendant, and was probably still under his protection ;
and he was compelled to resort to this mode of obtaining that
poor and imperfect compensation which the most liberal
damages could offer.
Mr. Robert Alway, the plaintiff's brother, proved the mar-
riage, and that the plaintiff separated from his wife in March
last. He thought they lived happily together. Since the
separation, he had heard the defendant say he would -provide
for the plaintiff's wife while he had a shilling, and she still
lived in one of his houses, and a little way from his own re-
sidence.

James Taylor, an apprentice of the plaintiff, deposed to see.
ing his mistress and the defendant in an indelicate situation-
in the shop about two years ago, when he had climbed to a
window to observe them ; but did not then see an act of Raul.
tery. He also deposed to two other meetings between them
shortly after, of which he did not tell his master, and that
the defendant several times gave him small sums of money.
He recollected the quarrel between his master and mistress
in March. She remained a few days afterwards in the house ;
and, on one night, his master slept with him. On cross. '
examination, after a great deal of pressing, and an admoni.
tion from the Judge, the lad said that, on the other nights,
his master slept in the same room with his mistress, us he heard
him enter it.

Mr. Richard Alway, the father of the plaintiff; who lived
about half a mile from Thornbury, said that he thought his
daughter-in-law made a good wife to his son, till on a Sunday
in 1824, he called at the house and found the door fastened.—
lie attempted to open it, and while doing so, saw Niblett
coming down stairs. Mrs. Alway then came to the kitchen
window and spoke to him. The 'next morning about ten he saw
Niblett go towards the house and watched him. He went
through the workshop to the kitchen door, and there, looking
through the window, saw Mrs. Alway and the defendant cri-
minally connected in the kitchen, so as to leave no doubt of
their guilt. He spoke to Mrs. Alway about it, but did not
tell his son for ten months after, because he-thought it
would destroy all his happiness. Mrs. Alway only slept one
night in the house after, he spoke on the 'subject in March ;_
for he saw her go the next day to her fathers. The plaintiff
was distressed and ill when he discovered the conduct of his
wife.
'On cross-examination, the- witness said that two or three
persons might have stood and looked in at the kitchen win-
