pons which bad become due on the Ist of November, 1836.
the dividends for that period arising upon the home debt
in October and November, 1836, having been lot g pa
off in hard money—...if any principle of even-bandeu jay-
tice were to be recognised as so solemnly professel. This
was the more earnestly insisted upon, on the ground that
the foreign creditor had sustained a loss of 33 per
cent. on his capital in 1834, through the _operation of
the confiscatory law of Count Toreno, and that the
eleven years' interest had also been thrown over-
board, or what was nearly tantamount to it; for the 53/.
of Deferred Stock at 121. per cent, was not worth above
a five-pound note. Tho other privileges proffered, of
allowing the New Bonds to be taken in payment for
Church property, it was contended would work favourably
rather for the home creditor than for the foreigner. The
Spaniard, it was urged, had every advantage over the
stranger. He would be upon the spot, and could make
his selection cf properties, which must naturally be the
most choice and valuable, whether they should consist
of houses, farms, or vineyards, orange or olive groves,
or whatever other estates ; whilst it had - been
proved, by the experience of the past, that,
however full the intention of Senor Gamboa
that the foreigner should participate in the pro-
posed advantages, nothing of the sort had, up to the pre-
sent time, proved of the least benefit to him. Not a lot
was advertised in London, Paris, or Amsterdam, and the
consequence was that not a single purchaser was found out
of Spain. Thus, it is assumed, and we think most justly
assumed, that the English and foreign creditor must look
rather to the rate of interest receivable in London and
Paris for any value that may attach to the for:hcoming
new consolidated stock, than to the privilege of paving it
in, even at par, for the Church properties of Spain. Although
national and ecclesiastical estates to the value of ten mil-
lions sterling have been already sold, not a lot of them has
beer. rvailable to the foreign creditor.
The Committee act well in demanding far their consti-
tuents an improved rate of interest on the unpaid coupons.
There is nothing else than this (the interest) upon which
a moment's reliance can be placed. The idea of English-
men colonising in the Spanish cities is quite preposterous.
Protestants, or even English or Irish Catholics, neither of
whom arc allowed to be of the true faith, would not, espe-
cially alter taking possession of the dwelling: of a set of
bigoted Spaniards, be secure from the cuchillo for a single
night. Christian burial even was not given to an English-
man eight years ago, and we doubt whether it is down to
the present moment. These difficulties cannot surely
have escaped the vigilance of the gentlemen composing
the Committee of Bondholders.

Thr Committee do themselves credit in taking their
stand, as they did this day, upon the shameful conduct of
Spain with regard to the Treasury Bonds of 1836, as
given for the first lapsed coupons under the Toreno con-
version. The non-payment of these bonds was a damning
infraction of a public engagement, and, until the outrage is
redressed, we can assure Senor G3mboa he will never be
able to accomplish the m;rsele he has undertaken to ac-
complish—the resuscitation of the fallen, the defunct
credit of his disgraced and frithless country.

The Committee will memorialise the Minister in terms
founded upon the view here given of their proceedings,
forwarding the commun;cation through General Alava
and Viscount Palmerston.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Fran, 12.
( More Lord DENNIAN and a Special Jury.)
CIUNI CON.--DRUMMELL V. JACKSON.

The ArrottNnv- GENE eAL ( with whom was Mr. Watson)
one stated the case on behalf of the plaiutiff. The case was
of th deepest interest to the unfortunate plaintiff. He need
not tell them that it was one of the deep.: t injuries that
one man could inflict upon another, and when they had
heard the evidence he theeght the Jury would be satisfied
that the defendant had been guilty of a breach of all the
mere' and social obligations. The p'aintiff was about
twenty-six years old, and wis the son t f Mr. Brummell, of
the Treasury. He was originally educated for the medical
profession, and while residing at Brighton with his uncle
Mr. Taylor, became acquainted with a Miss Ma-y M'G.‘nn,
the daughter of a &ceased officer, and a mutual attach-
ment sprung up between them. It was not eons dered
advisable, however, that they should by merried at that
time, but they did get married without the consent of the
friends on either side on the ebruary, 1840. Mr.
M'Gann would not receive ohtcr, and they pro-
ceeded to London, where they were received by the plain.
tiff's father at his residence, Oxford-terrace, Hyde Park
The defendant was a Lieutenant in the Ist Dragoon
Guards, and at the time these transactions took place his
regiment was in Canada, but he was residing at the Bath
Hotel, Piccadilly. He had been for a long time on terms
of intimacy and friendship with the plaintiff, and after
plaintiff's marriage that intimacy wes renewed, and he
frequently aimed and spent the evening at Mr. Brunimell's,
and it was while that intimacy continued that Mr. Jack.
son, in the most unprincipled manner, at to cor-
rupt the virtue of the plaintiff's wi!'e. He pr.-cti,ed hi 4
arts but too succe.sfally, and from the evidence laid before
him there could not he a doubt that an adulterous inter-
cource took place. The plaintiff and his wife resided at
Oxford-terrace till the 7th of June, when Nlrs.Johe Brum-
mell went to Brighton, on a visit to her father, and re-
turned to London on the 23d. It appeared that there was
a deep-laid scheme between Mrs. Brummell and the de-
fendant, that during that time he should succeed in the un-
principled object tae had in view. Although she pre-
tended when she returned on the 23d of June that s to ned
left Brighton that morning, it was clear in evideF.ce thet
she had left it on the morning of the 22,1—that she had
met Mr. Jackson by appointment at Redhill, and
that he conducted her to an inn at Horsham, where
the criminal intercourse took place. That was not known

for sometime afterwards. Meantime the defendant kept
up his intercourse with the family, dined with them on
the very 2d of June, and continued to testify the greatest
friendship for the plaintiff. But 'ti.Le trar szetion could
not long remain buried. It reached the cars of Mr. Tay-
lor at B.ighton, who Wrote to the plaintiff at Foxhill.
An investigation took place, which rem,red all doubt
from his mind, and she was sent back to her father,
whore she still resides. It was for that injury the plain-
'A now sought satisfaction. Ili knew not what course
his Learned Friend wouli take. The adultery would be
proved beyond the possibility of a dLuht ; and ho trusted
he would not attack the character of the youhg woman
who had been the victim c 1 the defendant's arts. On the
24th of June, the plaintiff, nut having the slightest notion
of any impropriety on the part of his wife, discovered she
was writing to Mr. Jackson, hut she protested her inno-
cence, and declared it was the first letter she had written,
and it was with the knowledge of that letter that he
continued for some days longer in her society. He would
call before them the mother of the plaintiff, who had
been subpoenaed on the opposite side; and his Learned
Friend might cross-examine her as he pleased. To
show the terms of intimacy on which the defendant
was with the plaintiff and his wife, he would read some
of his letters to the Jury. The first was dated the 28th
of June, and commenced " Dear Beau." That was the
name the plaintiff went by among his friends, he being a
relation of the celebrated Beau Brummell, but it would
show the intimacy that subsisted between the parties.
The Learned Counsel then read several letters from the
defendant addressed to the plaintiff, And members of his
family, thanking them fur the attention they bad paid him,
and stating that he was about to join his regiment in Ca-
nada. He believed it would be shown, that when the de-

fendant came of age, which was two or three years since,
lie had drawn 11,0001 outCof the Three per Cent. Con-
sols, and that he had an income of 800/. per annum.
Under these circumstances, he called upon the Ju• y to
mark their sense of the defendant's conduct by giving the
plaintiff ample damages for the injury he had sustained.
The following witnesses were then examined.
Charles Glasbrook—l knew the plaintiff, John Henry
Brummell, before his marriage. I also knew his wife,
Miss M•Gann. I was present at the marriage, on the 3d
of February, IS4O. The plaintiff was then studying me-
dicine with Mr. Taylor, his uncle, at Brighton.
Cross examined—l am of no profession. I reside in
Hampshire, and am at present waiting for a commission in
the army. I had keen for about two months in Brighton
before the marriage. I heard from plaintiff that Miss
M.Gann was an heiress. I first knew plaintiff the begin-
ning of November. I believe he was an assistant to his
uncle, but never saw him serve in his uncle's shop. He told
me he did. I don't know what his salary was. I met him
sometimes at a billiard-room in the evening, and some-
times at a tavern. He indulged occasionally in smoking,
and was fond of porter.—( A laugh.) I believe he
was not acquainted with the family of Mr. M'Gann at all.
I knew Shepherd, a coachman, at Brighton. He is a gen-
tleman's coachman. I took a cigar with plaintiff at Shep-
berii's once. I don't know whether he was intimate with
Shepherd or not. It was in January the plaintiff asked
me to be present at the marriage. He asked me to give
away the bride, and I did so. .He had not then told me
who the bride was. The marriage was to be by licence,
and he went to town for it. Mrs. Cooper was also present
at the marriage. The first time I saw Mre. Cooper was
in the church, but I did not know she was housekeeper to
a gentleman, a Mr. Wilson. I did not see Shepherd in
the church, but I heard from the plaintiff' that he was there.
I met Miss M'Gann in St. Jsines's-street, Brighton, on
horseback. I took her to the Hare and Hounds, in
the London-road. Her groom accompanied her. I
heard that her dress had been sent to Mrs. Cooper's
that morning. After the ceremony I left them
at the church door. I met plaintiff the same after-
noon at Shepherd's stables. He told me he had

sent Mrs. Brummell home to her father's as Miss
M'Gann. He told me that her family were in great dis-
tress at her marriage. I don't know of any means he had
of providing for his wife at the time. I did not lend him
any money ; but he told me had borrowed some to pay the
expenses of the marriage. After Mrs. Brummell left her
father's they went to Worthing. I saw plaintiff in town
last October. I think Mr. Taylor knew something of the
engagement. I once saw plaintiff in company with Miss
M'Gann before the marriage. Miss M'Gann was con-

sidered a beautiful young woman. She was about 20 or
21 rears old.
Mrs. Brummell--I am plaintiff's mother. I reside at
Oxford-terrace. Hyde-park. Plaintiff is my eldest son,
and is now 26 years old. Mr. Taylor of Brighton married
my husband's sister. My son lived with Mr. Taylor for
some time. I bend of his marriage by letter on the 4th
of February. At Mr. Taylor and my husband's
request I agreed to receive them, and they arrived
on the Bth February. I had Hot seen Mias M‘Gann
previously. She was of very agreeable manners and ar-
pearance. She lived aft; rwards at nay house, and became
acquainted with all our friends. They appeared to live on
very affectionate terms, and were much attached to one
another. We had parties occasionally, and they went out
visiting. Mrs. John Brummell is now twenty-two years
old. I first knew the defendant, Mr. Jackson, about two
years ago. 110 visited and dined at our house. Mr. Jac-
kson was introduced by my son. John. They appeared to
be on very friendly and intimate terms. After my son's
marriage, defendant called on us, I think it was the end of
March or the beginning of April. Defendant had then
come from his regimental depot at York. I believe his
regiment was in Canada. The intimacy between defend-
ant and my son was then re. umed, and he dined frequently
with us. He sometimes came uninvited. I have five
daughters—one grown up, and the others younger. Mrs.
John Brummell of cour2e was then one of the
family. Ile frequently played whist with us. My hus-
band and son dined once or twice at his club with him
lie did not appear to pay stay particular attention to Mrs.
John Brummell. My son went to Bristol with Mr.
Jackson on the 3J June. Defendant was then about to
embark in the Great Western for Canada. Ile returned
on the sth, being too late fur the steamer. Mr. Jackson
lodged at the Bath Hotel, Piccadilly. He continued to
visit, as before, after his rcurn o n Bristol. Mrs. Jo'in
Brummell always appeared to behave with the greatest
affection to her husband. About that time, 16th June,
Mr Jacksc n obtained his lieutenancy. He gave a dinner
on the oecasioa, at which ray husband and son attended.
On the 17th June Mrs. Brummell went to Brighten in the
Age caaci. Her husband went with her to the Regent-
c;rius. She was to spend a few days with her
laths, Mr. M`Clann. Mr. Jackson spent that
evening with us. He disco the folls.sine day, and
took tea the day afterwinda. Mr e„ Brummell returned on
the 23d Jusie, about a quarter before six. My son met
her et the Regent-circus. Mr. Jackson dined with us that
day. He paid Mrs Brummell no particular attentien on
that day. On the 24'h my husband, may el:lest daughter,
and myself dined out. We returned about half-past ten.
I heard a quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Brummell that
night.
Mr. THESIGER objected to any statement of what took
place on that occasion.
Examination resumed—l had a note from Mr. Jackson
on the 28th June. My son was ill on the 26th, and con_
fined to his bed. Mr. Jackson called that evening unin-
vited, and begged to tee him. My husband accompanied
him to my son's bedroom; he remained there about half
an hour, and they then returned to tic drawing-room. lie
was with us the following day at dinner, and remained the

evening.
The letter of the 2SLIo of Jane, from defendant to plain-
t ff was then put in and read, It was an apology for not
being a`ol.: to dine the following day, as be (Mr. Jackson)
was obliged to go off to York. 'lnc letter of the 29th
was then read. It contained the defendant's thanks for
the kindness he had received from Mr. and Mrs. Brum-
mei!, and taking leave. Another, of the 30th, to the
same effect, addressed to Mr, Brominell, sett., was also
read.
Witness— I sr'w Mr. Jack-.on ,ifterwards. He called
on the 30W of Jose. Mr. John Brunotnell had at that
time taken his Ivife to MAUI, in surrey. He told me
he thought he had better take her there till after Mr.
Jackson had joined his regiment. Mr. Jackson had come
on the 30.11 at my requit. I said I addressed him as a
mother would a son. A note had been discovered by my
son, written by Mrs. John Brummell to him, and I feared
it was not the only one—that I hoped, and requested as a
favour, when my son was established in his profession,
that he would not visit them. [The witness here
became very faint, end was accommodated with a seat,
and a glass of water was procured for bar, which
revt,:ed her a little, and the examination proceeded.]
I said Mrs. Brummcll said it was the only note, and that
rn, .

was
no friend he loved like any son, or for whom he had a

greater respect. He then tent away. I did not go to
Boxhill. I never saw Mrs. John Brummell afterwards.
She was never allotted to be alone with Mr. Jackson. He
never said tir did anything in My presende that showed
the slightest intimacy or familiarity with her. I saw my
son on the sth July. He was then in a state of distraction.
Cross-examined by Mr. CRESWELL—My son had no
means of maintaining himself or his wife when they were
married, beyond tLo salary he had from Mr. Taylor; and
consistently with my husband's regard for the rest of his fa-
mily, he could do nothing for him.'"They sometimes rode out
together on horseback. The horse was lent by Mr. Jack-
son. They went to the opera once or twice. Mr. Jack-
son gave me on one occasion four tickets. My son break-
fasted two or three times with Mr. Jackson. He had no
profession at the time, but my husband was endeavor.rh:g
to procure a partnership for him. My son gave Mr.
Jackson a ring with his own and his tt ife's hair in it, and
Mr. Jackson gave Mrs. Brummell a ring in return, but I
saw no hair in it. On one occasion Mr. Jackson drove
Mrs. and Mr. Brummell in a phaeton to Hampton Court.
I always spoke kindly of Mrs. John Brummell, and treated
her respectfully. I never recollect speaking slightingly of
her conduct. My son did no: complain of bele. disap
pointed, and having got no money. I never heard him say
that he and his wife were a couple of fools. I
never beard my son come up the rairs at
night, noisy and abusive.. My son and his wife
went once or twice to the theatre with Mr. Jackson. There
was a water party on the occasion, which was at the j ~n,
expense of the gentlemen, Sir John Leighton, my son.
and Mr. Jackson. I never heard any rpiarrelling between
my son and his wife excont on th,. one occasi,o, I h, fore
referred to. My son and his wife went to Boxhill, on the
29th June. I wrote a note to the dt fetatinnt. WI the 30,n.
I was at Richmond on the occasion of the water pa, ty in
April, but I did not then think there wis any attachment
between Mrs. Brummell and the defendant. I never
heard any other person make the remark. My husband has
been 33 years in the Treasury—his sal,ry is 5001. a-year,
and he has some trifling property besides. The Opera
box was taken on the occasion when we went by Mr.
Jackson and Sir Juba Leighton. My husband and three
of my daughters accompanied us. Mrs. JThn Brummell
never went to the theatre or any 'other place unless accom-
panied by her husband.
The letter of witness to Mr. Jackson, dated 30th June,
was then put in and read. It requested an interview In-
fo e he left Lonthan.
William Frederick Snell—l am a Colonel in the Guards.

I have known the parents of the plaintiff for some
years. I have visited them and dined occasionally. I saw
the plaintiffand his wife there after their marriage They
appeared to be on very affectionate terms. I have met the
defendant there, but had no previous acquaintance with
him. I new nothing particular in the attentions of defen-
dant to Mrs. Jrbn Brummell. 1 saw them sit together at
dinner, but remarked nothing particular in his attentions
to her. lem not a married man. I met very respectable
society at Mr. Brummell's.
-Mrs. Ricardo—l am wife of Mr. Ricardo, of Harley-
street. lam sister to Mr. Brummell, sen. I have been
on habiis of Intimacy with all the family I recollect
plaintiff and his wife corning v.) Oxford-terrace. They
dined once at my house. They were on very affectionate
terms: He seemed very proud of her.
Cross-eximined by Mr. TIIESIGER—They never quar-
relled in my presence. They seemed much attached to
each other.

Joseph Thomas Austin—l am porter at the Brighton
Post-office, where the Times coach starts from. I knew
Miss M Gann before her marriage. There was an inside
place booked to London on the 22d June. It starts at
half-past nine in the morning. I went with the coach to
take up the passengers. At Portland Lodge we took up
Mks M‘Gann and her father. She had a cage with a
canary bird. When we took up a lady at Char les-street,
Mr. M•Gsnn got out. When I was getting off the coach
at the Hare and Hounds, Mrs. Brummcll gave me a letter
to put in the post office, and I did so after the day mail
went off, which was an hour later. I was told not to put
it: in till the day mail went out. She gave me half a-crown
for my trcuhle.
Thomas Henry King—l drove the Brighton Times on
the 22d June last year. It was on a Monday. I know
Mrs. John Brummell. She- was a passenger• booked for
London. I took her to Redhill, about half way, and left
her there at her own request. I left her at the Somers
Arms. A gentleman met her there.

Robert Brackenbury I drive the Age, and leave
Brighton at twelve o'clock. I recollect the 23.1 of June.
There was a place booked at Brighton for London, to be
taken up on the load. Mrs. Brummell got inside when I
came to Crowley. I only drive half way, and then return
to Brighton. •
Richard Carpenter—l drive the Age from London to
Redhill and beck. On the 23d June Mrs. John Brummell
-Ass inside that day. Mr. John Brummell met us that
day at the Bull and Mouth, and I set them down at Ox-
ford-terrace.

Cross-examined—There was an observation in the way-
bill that a la:ly was to be taken up at Crawley, and I
made the ebservation to Mr. Brummell, who was in the
box with me from the Regent-circus. He said " No, she
came from Brighton " lie asked me why 1 said there
was an observation that one lady was to be taken up at
Crawley. Said I thought it was her.
Mrs. Mary Seares—l keep the Somers Arms at
Red-
hill. On the 2•2 d of June a lady arrived by the Times
coach from Brighten. A gentleman was there waiting
for her about a quarter of an hour. I know now that it
was Mr. Jackson. I saw him to-day again near the Court,
on the opposite side of the street. They remained about
ten minutes after the lady arrived, and then went off to
Dorking. I have since seen the lady at Brighton, and I
heard she was Mrs. John Brummell. It was at her fa-
ther's, Mr. M4Gar,n's I saw her. That was in December.
By the COURT—We were speaking of Mr. Jackson to-
day, and when I saw him I pointed him out to the other
witnesses.

James Walter—l was post-boy at the Somers Arms,
Redidll, and drove a lady and gentleman to Dorking on
the 22-1 June. The gentleman came to Redhill in a chaise
and pair a quarter of an hour before the Times came in.
The lady got out of the Times, and the gentlemen re-
ceived her. I recollect there was a canary bird and a cage
among the luggage. We drove to the White Horse at
Dorking.
\Vm. Wicks—l was post-boy at the White Horse, Dork-
ing, and drove the lady and gentleman whom the last wit-
ness brought, to the Anchor at Horsham.
Mrs. Mary Lee—My husband keeps the anchor at Her.
sham. I recollect a lady and gentleman coming in a post-
chaise on Monday,22d June. Wicks drove the chaise to
my house. I had never seen either of them before. I saw
the name C. Jackson in the gentleman's boots. After the
lady had gone up stairs the gentleman came into the bar
and spoke to me. They remained•all night and breakfasted
in the morning. The gentleman went by post at nine
to Crawley, and the lady left about twelve to go to Craw-
ley. She also had a post- chaise. I saw the lady afterwards
at her father's at Brighton, twice. lam certain she is the
same lady. I saw the gentleman afterwards, at York, at
the Hotel. I knew him at once. An attorney's clerk and
my sister were with me when I saw the gentleman. The
lady had a bird cage with her when she was at my house.
,:s Henry John Ware—l am an attorney's clerk at York,
served a copy of the writ on the defendant at the bar-
racks at York. I was present when the last witness iden-
tified Mr. Jackson as the gentleman who slept at her house.
Elizabeth Lee—My sister keeps the Anchor at Horsham.
I recollect the lady and gentleman coming there. I as-
sisted in undressing the lady, and lent her a night-dress.
I saw the gentleman afterwards in the bar. He went up
stairs. Tuere was no other bed-room provided for him.
I cannot say, from the appearance of the bed, whether one
or two persons slept in it. I made the bed the next day.
I believed them to be man and wife. I saw the gentleman
in the morning come out of the bed-room, about eight
o'clock. I think he was not quite dressed. The lady was
in the bed-room at the time. There was a bed in the
dressing-room, but no person slept in it. He ordered a
chaise at nine to go to Crawley, and another at twelve for
the lady.
James Henson—l am post-boy at the Anchor at Hors-
ham, and recollect driving a gentlemen to the George, at
Crawley, on the '23d of June.
Robert Taylor—l am a surgeon at Brighton, and have
carried on business there for twenty-eight years. 1 am
uncle to the plaintiff, who was educated as a medical
man. He lived first two years and a half with me, and
then went to St. George's Hospital for three years. He
had the regular education of a surgeon, and passed all his
examinations. I afterwards took him as an assistant. I
understood from plaintiff that he was very much Attached
to Miss M'Gann. I heard of the marriage the day after.
They went first to Worthing, where I saw thtm. I after-
wards saw them in London in May, on two occasions.
They seemed perfectly happy together. I heard a rumour
respecting Mrs. John 13i-um:nen at Brighton, and I after.
wards went to Horsham. I saw Mrs. Lee. I then wrote
to Mr. 13rumtnell. Four or five days nrtervrards I came
to London, and went to Boxhili about the 4th of June.
Mr. anal Mrs J Brurnnrelt were there. I told him I
hail been to Horsham, and whet the result of my inquiries
were. He fainted away when I fist told hint of it. She
was immediately taken to her father's house at Brighton.
On every occasion when I have seen the plaintiff since
then ho appeared much affected by the event.
Cross-examined by Mr. TIlEiqGER—Tiw plaintiff had a
salary of 12e1, a year from me. He never smoked in my
house. I went to inform Mr. and Mrs. M'Genn of 'r heir
daughter's marriage, but they had previously heard it
Mrs.- M Gann appeared to be in the deepest efletion. Mr.
Fullieer, a solicitor and friend of Mr. M•Gann, accompa-
nied 'me to Worthiog, when he said Mr. M‘Gann's doors
would be always open to his daughter, but not to plaintiff,
and that he would never advance him one shilling. I did
not hear plaintiff say anything of his not knowing where to
take his wife. I asked him what he intended doing, and
he said he depended on !no arid his father. I did not re-
fuse to take them in, beeause I had previously arranged
with his father that he was to go to London.
Mr. Tut:sleets then addressed the Jury for the defen-
dant. There were no cases more painful or anxious to the
counsel engaged, or-more difficult to the Jury, than cases
Ike the present. Every one must feel repugnant to ripen
up the private affairs of a family : but cases of this kind
were infinitely various. There were some a here there
was a long intimacy arid attachment, and in which a union
took place with the consent of all parties; and when a
party could be found to take advantage of his intimacy
with the husband to seduce the affections of his wife,
under such circumstances, lie should be visited with the
highest amount of damages the Jury could award.
But there were others, when from the character and con-
duct of the husband, and the circumstances under which
the marriage took place, there should be a great many
eyttenuations made for the conduct of a defendant. He
did not mean to contest the evidence that had been laid
before them, but he thought the Jury ought to infer from
it that the plaintiff's conduct was deserving of the greatest
execration. He had much to accuse himself of for the
dishonour that had befallen him. It would appear that a
clandestine intercourse had taken place between the plain-
tiff and his intended wife, and Mr. Glasbroc,k, an acquaint-
ance of two months' standing, lent himself readily to further
the views of the plaintiff. The assisting parties were
attepueru, a gerelemati's
housekeeper to a stage-coachman ; and it was clear that
there was not the slightest feeling of respect or
affection on the part of the plaintiff towards the young

lady. lie had heard that Sir^ was sn heiress, and his 301
object wria to endeavour to enrich himself by a unin, wit
her. Having first broken dostt her moral feelings of
parental respect and obedience, he had no one to bi Am
but himself fur the lamentable consequences that had after-
wards ensued. He had no means of support whatever,
and it was clear f om the evidence .t.tf his friend, Mr
Giasbrook, that he was a man of low and vulgar habit:,
resorting to stables and taverns to indulge bintsclf
smoking ard drinking. That in itself formed a most im-
portant feature in the case, and was one which th.
Jury should take into their serious consideration
Unlees there was a total want of r. s, cc: ane
affection on the part of the plaintff towards hQr

it was impossible tbat in three or four short month'
she should have transferred her affections from her
husband to a total stra.ger. The Learned, Counsel ahel
a very eloquent appeal, concluded by calling on the Jut)
to meet the justice of the use by very moderate damages.
Lord DENMAN summed up, and observed that it was
one of the most extraordinary cases that bad ever come
before him. lle did not think that defendant's counsel
was altogether justified in the aspersions he had cast on
the plaintiff's character.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damage:-
500/.
