to Ita- alleged that the action had been brought
1 ver
"8' damages, not compensation for the
t
e 10thing on earth could compensate a husband for
in
a,, s u!lf his wife's affection and society. His only
it • 1e.4 Was to resort to the law, for the twofold object of
11,41' dissolution of the marriage, and, if possible,
efteviate the wrong heihad sustained. Of all cases
go a l description lately before the public, none were of
ere ref a character as the present, as the parties
i'elated by marriage, and were on terms of inti-
lleY'lold friendship. The facto of the case were

shortly these : The plaintiff met his wife
though a college acquaintance at her father's
house Dr. Johnson, of Suffolk-place. They were mar-
ried in 1835, the plaintiff being then 28 years of age, and
his wife six years younger. The sum of 10,0001. was
then settled upon the plaintiff and his wife-4,0001. on her
side, and 6,0001. on his. They lived happily together till
the 15th June, 1841. Mr. Broomhead was the son of a
clergyman of wealth and character in the county of
Derby, and had been brought up at King's College, where
he was introduced to the plaintiff. He was called
to the bar in the year 1838. He had frequently
been permitted to sleep at the plaintiff's house, and go
away next morning, when plaintiff went to his business,
but it would appear, by the evidence he should adduce,
that he would frequently return in the middle of the day
to visit Mrs. Jackson, and contrive to come home with her
husband in the evening as though he had been absent
all day. These advantages had ultimately enabled him
to effect the ruin of the
.plaintiff's wife. On
the day in question the plaintiff had had a small
dinner party. After the company had quitted the
house, about ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. Jackson
went to his dressing room, according to his usual custom,
for the purpose of smoking, leaving the defendant and Mrs.
J. together in the drawingroom. He (plaintiff) called out
several times " Joe is to come down," and receiving no
answer, he walked up stairs, and then became an
eye witness to a scene of disgusting depravity, and wit-
nessed his own dishonour. He seized the defendant by
the collar, and dragging him down stairs threw him into
the street, and he should produce a witness to
prove that he was seen there with his clothes
in disorder. Shortly after that, his wife, taking
advantage of the confusion, rushed into the street with-
out her bonnet, and went after the defendant, and
both entering a • cab, drove to a house in Lincoln's Inn,
where they spent the night together. Subsequently went
to.the Southampton Arms, near the railway, and also slept
there. She was ultimately persuaded by a friend to
return to her parents' roof. The Learned Counsel
having detailed other facts at considerable
length said he had no desire to exaggerate, but would
leave the case in the hands of the Jury.
Evidence was then-tendered to prove the statement of
the Learned Counsel, and

Mr. FITZROY KELLY replied for the defence, contend-
ing that the plaintiff had neglected his wife.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF summed up the evi-
dence, and the Jury returned, after ten minutes' consul-
tation, a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 7001.
