THE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.--The ope-
rations of the hay harvest have commenced in this neighbour-
hood (Doncaster), and the produce of some fields has been
secured. The crops are generally heavy, except on the higher
and lighter descriptions of soil. The weather, however, with.n
the last few daos, has been unsettled, and some check, conse-
quently, has been put to the labours of the cultivator. With
regard to the several descriptions of corn cops, their appear
ante at the present time is not equal to expectation. They
seem to have suffered from several days continued showers
which fell some time ago. accompanied by chill and piercing
legalities, present the appearance of being eastern winds. In many instances, indeed, the effect of these
severe winds is visible on the foliage of the trees which, in some
much improvement may take place, it, happily, more favour-
wheat crops appear short, thin, and stunted ; and, although
able weather shoald prevail, there is not presented that hope of
luxuriance and fruitfulness which appeared to be sufficiently
warranted some time ago. The same remark applias to other
descriptions of grain ; and it is not too much to assert, that the
aspect which is presented around falls short of previous antici-
pations.—Doncaster Gazette.
OLD FABLE.—It happened that Fire, Water,
and F.,me, going to travel together, they consulted, that if they
lost one another, how they migl.t meet again : Fire said—
" Where you see smoke, there you shall find roe ;" Water said—
. Where you see marsh and moorish low ground, there you ,
shall find me;" but Fame said—" Take heed how you lose me,
for if you do, you will run a great hatard never to meet me i
i
again—there's no retrieving me,"—Literqry World.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY

( B4ore Lord ABINGER and a S;:ecial Jury.)
11ORG9N. V. TaORN..—CRINI. CON.

Mr. THESIGER (witl, whom was stated that
this was an action instituted b) the father of the plaintiff,
for the purpose of obtaining a verdict of the Jury against
the defendant for criminal conversation with th)
wife of the plaintiff, on which to found ulterior proceed-
ings. In the year 1837, the plaintiff, then a young lad
of between sixteen and seventeen, was at school at
H trrow. In his rambles he met with the woman now his
wife, who was the daughter of the post-mistress at
Ealing.. She was a handsome woman, but older than the
plaintiff, and she managed to enveigle him into a marriage.
The moment his friends were made aware of the unfortu-
nate circumstance they took him away, and sent him abroad
to finish his studies—and abroad he still remained. The
father of the plaintiff had heard rumours of the misconduct
of Mrs. Morgan, and he employed Ballard and Goddard,
two experienced officers of the old police force to watch her
conduct, which they did, and the result was that they found
she was in the almost daily habit of coming up to town
and meeting the defendant. Their conduct after they met
would be detailed in evidence, which he would lay before
them He would lay the case before the Jury, and take
what damages the Jury pleased to give him. Damages
were not the object they sought—he said at once that
they wanted a verdict for the purpose of obtaining a di-
vorce. He then called the clerk of ailing to prove the
marriage. lie thought the young man appeared about 20
years of age. There were none of the friends of the parties
present. He also called two of the schoolfellows of the
plaintiff, to prove that he was only 17 years of age. Ile
then called

Wm. Ballard--Was formerly a pol'ee-officer. The
father of the plaintiff employed him and Goddard on the
17th of March to watch the proceedings of Mrs. Morgan.
They went down to Ealing that day, and they passed Mrs.
Morgan at Shepherd's Bush. She bowed to the coachman,
and knew her th it way. They left the coach and returned
and met her. He then saw her face, and knew her after.
He engaged Mrs. Barstow to watch her, as they found she
was in the habit cf coming to London in the omnibus. They
went daily to Hyde Park-corner; when Mrs. Morgan c ime
to town, Mrs. Barstow was to accompany her and make a
:ignal by shaking her handkerchief. They came up on
the 19th. Witness followed the omnibus. Mrs. Morgan
got down and went into Ely-place. She came out of that
place in company with Mr. Thom. They walked several
times up arid duwn Hatton-garden, and then separated.
She afterwards went in an omnibus to the Bank, She
there met Mr. Thorn, who had a brown paper bad•. They
both got in.o a Highbury omnibus. Heand Goddard rode out-
side. The parties got down and went up the Hornsey-road.
They crossed several fields, and at last went into the back pre-
mises of Almond Cottage, the residence of Mr. Thorn. They
stopped from six o'clock till half-past ten at night, when
they drove off in a chais". Again, on the 27th, they saw
her alight from the Ealing omnibus at Ely-place. She
bad then a spaniel with her. She and Mr. Thorn passed
into Hatton-garden. They only spoke together fora short
time and parted. She went to Torrington-square, where
Mr Thorn met her in his gig, and they drove away. On
the 7th April the same things took place ; again on the
10th, and several other days. On the 14th April he
saw her put down at Ely-place, where she was met
by the defendant. In the afternoon, she went to Black-
friars-road, where the defendant was waiting with
his gig. They drove down to Dartford. Put up at
the 8..11 and George. They stopped there till two o'clock
next day, when they started for town. On the 24th April
he saw them meet again. When they parted he followed
Mr. Thorn, who went to his shop in Holbprn.
Cross examined by Mr. Pniwes.—He had been paid
between 601. and SOL for time and expenses. He charged
11. Is. a day. He was aware that it might be said he was
acting as a spy, but he did not think he was acting infa-
mously. He thought it was proper that people who were
acting improperly should be exposed. He expected to be
paid for the time he lost in waiting upon the Courts.
Henry Goddard corroborated all that had been given in
evidence by the former witness.

The waiter and the chambermaid of the Bu'l and George,
Dartford, proved the arrival of the parties at that house,
where they had a sitting and bed-room. They were there
on the 14th April, and also a fortnight befo.e. They
dined together, and slept in the same room on both occa-
sons. They were identified by Ballard and Goddard
ca:ling their attention to the parties on the 15th April.
On that occasion they slept only one night. On the first
visit they slept there two nights. This was the case for
the plaintiff.
His LORDSHIP said this was clearly a case for nominal
damages only. Whether the action was maintainable was
a question of law which might be settled hereafter. It did
not appear whether the plaintiff was even cognizant of the
action ; he might not sanction it. However that would be
a question for the Court.

Mr. KELLY wanted the Jury to find whether the adultery
had been committed or not.

His LORDSHIP said, if he pleased, he might go the Jury
upon it, and take bis chance.

. •
A 3 Mr. Kelly, was obliged to go into the Queen's
Bench, Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jary.
His LorJship summed up ; and the Jury returned a
verdict for tLe plaintiff—Damages is.
