CRIM.
HENRY DARING, ESQ. St. P. v. CAPTAIN WEBSTER.
This day an inquisition was taken before Mr. Birch'll, the
Secondary, at the Office or the Sheriff of Middlesex, in Red
Lion-square, and a Special Jury, to assess dantages in the cause
in which Henry
Webster defendant, for the seduction of the wife of the former.
Baring, Esq. M.P. was plaintiff, and Captain
The defendant suffered judgment by default. The damages
were laid at 10,000/. The Court was crowded by persons of
rank, who were friends of the parties in the cause.
Mr. BROUGHAM stated the. plaintiff's case. He said that
the Jury must be familiar with the name of the plaintiff in this
unfortunate inquisition—iris name was that of a family which
stood highly rzsoectable and respected amongst all classes of
the subjects of this' empire, but }ugliest of all in the mercantile .
world. It was universally known, that the Barings were the
veriltighest of that most useful and respectable class of the
British community, whose intelligerNe and honesty and upright
dealings.threatighout the world, had affixed, upon them a station
anti character, which constituted one of the ennin pillars that
upheld:this great and prosperousCCßlDtry. llenry.Baring,
Whose name they had heard as the plaintiff' in this CaUS'..t, was
the third brother ofthat family.- lie enjoyed,. by the accident.
of inheritance,'a, large fortune, but being disposed very early
in life to follow the example of his family, and to eara.an ad-
ditional provision by his intelligence and industry, lie repaired
front his native haute to a very distant settlement—he went in
tact to the East India Company's factory in China, where he
resided for Several years, and employed to advantage the
energies which he possessed for cotumercisl business. After
several yenta' residence in China, he returned home, still not
more titan `2l or tlti years of age. He Ibund, upon his return
to his family, that-his elder brother, Mr. Alexander flaring,
a gentleman, not only well known to all the mercantile chit:
meters of his country. but also to the statesmen who govern it,
had just returned from America, where he had sojourned for
some years, anti brought with him a lady of One of the first
families in Pefinsylvaniai whom he had shortly before mar-
ried. This lady (Airs. Alexander Baring) was accompanied
to this country by a younger sister, who was the unfortunate
subject of. the, pr tent inquiry. 31r. Henry Baring, of course,
became acquainted with the sister through his brother's wife.
Ile sObn felt the powerful fascination of her charms; he
tendefed hiti!affections, and she made a reciprocal return of
hers. Sir Francis Baring was not, however, at the mo,
scent favourable to the match ; lie wished his son to re.

side abroad a• little longer, in the pursuit of commercial
affairs. The lady's father was equally indisposed to pro-
mote the marriage at the time; but the Jury, as men of expe-
rience in the world, must know that these parental obstacles,
so far from operating to damp the affection of the young levers,
had a contrary effect. and rather, rivetted more firmly their
mutual attachment. The ultimate consequence was, that Mr.
Henry Baring married the lesdy in the year l;102. lie would
-bring betimes them personages of rank, who would pre; e how
affectionate and endearing was the married condition of these
parties lot, years after 'the solemnization of the ceremony._
I'heir mutual attachment was even, uninterrupted, and sin.
gularly warns in its continuance; that endearing affection
which Some married people measure by months, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Baring upheld for twenty years, until the defendant
violated the sanctuary of friendship and love. Mr. Baring, au
.they all knew, was a Member-of Parliament ; his duties in the
Senate necessarily abridged a portion of the domestic society
which he owed his wife ; be was necessarily often absent from
her same hours in the evening, end at the beginning of the Ses-
sion of Parliament she sometimes took a trip for a week or ten
,days, never more, either to Brighton or to Paris, or to the
watering-places, without being accompanied by her husband, -
whose avocations, on these occasions of rare occurrence, did
not permit of his attending. her. They never were separated
front each other fur any greater length of time until this unfor-
tunate occurrence, which destroyed the domestic comfort of the
plaintiff. Thevatestrophe etas here carried tte its bitterest extent
upon the happiness of Mr. Henry Baring's family. The off-
spring of thins marriage were live in. number; the eldest was a
daughter, recently married; enotherdaughter thirteen years of
age, a sum nearly twenty, another son fifteen ; anti the last
child, an infant, not yet two years of a:..re. To this very last
birth he .would prove the tenderest affection. It would be his
most painful duty to call before the Jury several members of
the Baring family, who would prove the affectionate inter-
course which, up to the last moment of this satluction, sub-
sisted between :11r. lienry Baring and his wife ; painful indeed
must it be for these witnesses to remember what had, for 20
years, been the fidelity ;nut affection of this lady, and to con-
trast it with her present unhappy fall, as the victim of a
wretched seduction. During the knot yeer, or so, Captain
NVebster became tin acqeeintance of Mr. Henry Baring, and a
visitor in his family. lie was the son of the late, and brother
of the present Sir ilodfrey Webster, and held a military shim-
tion on the home staff of the 3latquis Wellexley, the present
Viceroy of Ireland.
.Cant. Webster used to visit Mr. Henry
Baring in town, and also in the 'sportin,, season at Isis hos-
pitable %%melon in Hampshire. indeed he was the only
strangtr, except hi: Itoyal Highness the Puke of Woe-
' center, who met the family at the christening of Mr. Baring's
I last -chill. Captain Webster was certainly tine or six years
younger than Mrs. Baring ; her :attractions were, however,
great anti apparent, notwithstanding her advance in life,
and they had been evidently weaned front her husband
by Captain Webster. The Captain, us a man of honour,
should, have !dimmed the charms of the wife of his friend ;
he shatild have remembered that these charms formed no
excuse for his unlawful attachment, and could not be
pleaded as any palliation of his crime. Ile should have
remembered whatlw owed to the sanctuaryof a husband's house,
that husband being his host and friend : but he had violated those
sacral, anti for that violation the Jury were now
e
atotioatt,isttess a
pecuniary penalty. Ile ought to have re-
membered that this lady was the wife of his friend, and die mo.
titter of that friend'' children. If her age could be pleaded by the
e I°‘ ;:ol iiig
defendant in any attempt at palliation, it should he recollected
how that very age augmented the antrenngs which the plaintiff
meet new catgut'. lie had lost, not the society of a wife re-
cently acquired, but of a lady whose intercourse with him had
been hallowed by ,the endearing recollection, now turned
into gall and bitterness, of more than twenty years of ardent
attachment see the dreadful feelings with which this family
were now visited ; the children at a time of life when they
wee," entering into society.
and capable of feeling keenly
the act of their mother. there 5,,,,, besides an infant child,
now bereft of a mother's care at ttwhich te age
culled fur its fostering influence ; and another child, a daughter,
thirtea years of age, who must also be deprived of all those ad-
vantages of introduction into life which a mother could alone
adequetely confer. If he were to be told by his learned friend
that Qapntie Webster was not in the Nome flourishing pecu-
niary circumstances which Mr. Bering enjoyed, and could not,
therefore, pay heavy damages on this arymmon, he would any
in ref ly, that Lefore the Jury could look at that side, they must,
first consider what had been the plaintiff's loss, and what was
m
i the accuuleed natureof his injury, The law of the land was,
that if a mot bound himself by his contract to perform a certain
obligation, he could not escape
• from his pledge, by pleading
the. excuse of his poverty. ' He must have known his means
before he framed the contract, and must be bound by his own
act. So here, they could not allow the defendant to say he was
tillable to pay heavy damages. That would be to allow him to
address them in Such language as this: :. I did the mischief—l
inflicted the wrong upon my friend ; but I ant incapable of re-
dreeeing it ; I cannot afibrd you compensation ire money, and
therefore it is in vain to tisk it at wit:tilde." The Jury could
not l:•.en,to smelt language. They must hear in mind that it was
the established usage in society to award ample compensation
in suds cases, and .that it they failed in eatimating that award
upon such a scale. an inference would arise that the conduct
of the plaintiff had not been what it ought, which in this case
would be in direct variance with the positive evidence which
he would place before them, from some of the highest mem-
bers of the family. .To vindicate,
then, the plaintiff from iMelt
an inference as lie had just glanced at-to prevent its going
out to the world, what be was not, he intreated theirs to weigh
well die extent of damages with which they would visit the ad-
mitted guilt of the defendant. They would hear much better
than he could describe it, from the witnesses, what were the
terms of affection in which Mr. and !ties,. Henry Baring had
livetl. 'Better, far better,. even than the most elquent speech,
was the'plain and simple evidence of the witnesses of truth
describing the domestic facts which fell under their constant
observation. I 'They would from this evidence estimate what
must have been the acts of the seducer; they would remember
the home which he bad made desolate, the children he had de-
orived_of a mealier, and the friend from whom he had torn to
wife. They Would show by- their verdict. the *ewe they en-
tertained of such conduct, and the protection which they

were prepared tn shed around the sanctuary of domestic
—The defendant was a military man, and they were Meth.
hers of a civil community, and they must tell military men by
their verdict this day,:that at the conclusion of a war they mast
not bring into the domestic society of peaceable men the min:
ners and habits which they may have acquired in cenutris-
where, unfortunately, less rigid morals prevailed, and where,
they might have indulged in the course of service, in arts which
are not to be endured in the domestic circle of unsuipecting,
private life. He concluded by entreating the Jury, to award,
such a compensation in damages, which, though no pecuniary
redress could assuage the feelings, or mitigate the sense' of hss'
to which the plaintiff was doomed, would nevertheless phew the,
defendant that he could not escape with impunity, and set an.
example which might deter others from pursuing the sati: arts
and accomplishing the same ruin.
The first witness was Mrs. %Vail, an elderly. lady of elegant
appearance. She stated that she was the eldest sister of Mr.
Baying; recollects his marriage to his lade ; her Christian'
nair.'s were Maria Matilda, whose sister had previously Mei.-
, rind Mr. A. Baring; they were American ladies. Mr. henry
Baring's first house in London was in York-place, and occ,a,
sionally at Farndown, in Surrey, and afierwatsts at Sonmierby,
in I lampshire, which was still his residence. , She had constant
opportunities of witnessing the conjugal tendernesa of the f'S,
mily, and always observed the greatest tenderness on both sides
between Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baring, in whosehouse ehehad
passed weeks
:together, and never saw between them ths.
slightest altercation. There may have been _differences of mere
opinion, for they must occur every where.. The eldest (laughter.
of Mr. H. Baring was lately married, the eldest ion is at Ok.-
ftird, the second atinin the navy, the younger children are at

home.
Cross-examined by the COMMON SERGF.ANT.—SIue visited
at Somerville last September, but nut for a visit of any duration
within the last three years. They always appeared to' her to
live affectionately together. She did not recollect (as well as
she remembered) that Mrs. Henry Baring had been married
before she saw Mr. Baring he heard something from others._
Last August the eldest daughter was married. •
Mrs. Kempt, another sister of Mr. Baring, gave ,:precisAy
similar testimony of the affectionate intercourse which she
always saw subsisting between Mr. and 'Mrs. Ilmry
litirin .--
She did nut know the defendant. - •
Cross-examined by Mr. Paux.---Ifer general residence was
a day's journey from Mr. Henry Baring's house. l.ast autumn
twelvemonth she spent three weeks at his house in the country,
and saw them repeatedly, in London after. She never heard
from Mr. Baring of any former marriage of his wife's.
This Lady's husband merely confirmed the evidence of his
wife.
Mrs. Dent, another sister-in-law, had only to repeat-that she
had uniformly witnessed the same affectionate conduct on the
part of Mr. and M rt. Henry Raring towards each other. She
was at the christening of the last child in 11122. She saw-Capt.
Webster, who was the brother of Sir Godfrey Webster, on that
occasion. The Duke of Gloucester was there. .

Mr. John Mansfield, son of the late Chief-Justice, married
an American Lady, and soon after his return to England, in
the year IWO, became an acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. 11.
Bariug, who always appeared to hint (and he spoke of his
knowledge four years ago) very affection ately engaged to each
other. Ile had been mostly abroad within a year or two, and
bad not seen so much of them ; but he always thought they
were a most indulgent couple to each ether.
Crosti.examined by the COMMON SznoE.AXT.-11e always
visited Mr. Henry Baring in town and country, but not so much
within the last 3 years, having been mostly abroad. lie could
nut tell how Mr. Baring spent his evenings; he knew nothing
of any former oiarringe of Mrs. flaring; she was under -17 years
old-when she came to England.
Mr. Bt.aotigs attended Mrs. Baring on the 12th August,
1t i,"2, at her accouchement. It was in London, and Mr.
llenry Baring evinced at the time the most tender solicitude.
Some of the Ladies who were already examined were re.
called, merely to prove that Mrs. Henry Baring was at Brigh.
ton whh a French female attendant last November. -
_ _

Four letters were put in evidence, from Captain Webster
to Mrs. Baring. The one was dated Dublin Castle, the othere
Brighton; all breathed the evarmest love, and intl'eated an
timep between the parties of the closest nature.
Thie was the case on behalf of the plaintiff:
r. DENMAN then said it became his duty ta address the Jury
on behalf of his client, Capt. Webster, who had suffered judg-
ment to go by default, and thereby prevented disclosures which
must have been painful to all parties, end disgraceful to spine.
But he could not help remarking that it never was supposed that
so little information would have been produced to the Jury, as
a foundation for those heavy damages which his Learned Friend
had anticipated. Ile owned that it did appear to him tan: there
never was a case which presented so very few features to warrant
such a calculation. It was true that some respectable ladies 'had
been called, and who had given sonic evidence, hut so ver,.ine.
material, ass to lead owe to suppose that they had been pro'hieed
for no other reason than to give ornament and dignity to the
cause ; • for it was quite impossible that they, from their rank
mid station, and connection with the parties, could have been' in
possession of the secrets of Mrs. Baring, or qualified to speak es
to her conduct and principles. They are the sisters of the hies-
band —unquest ionahly, the sister of the wife could not have been
brought forward, but were there not many others that might ?
There was a grown-up daughter, had she no governess? Why
was not the French waiting-maid called, who had consented to
act on sonic oceneions as the " Go-between ?". She might,
perhaps, have told the Jury something of the interrupted hap-
piness, as it was called, of the husband, but which the Jury
must have seen had arrived at its conclusion long before Cap
fain Webster had become atquainted with this Lady. The
Lady's charms, which had won her husband's affections•2oYears
before' had vanished, and misery and distress and alienation
had been planted in their place. How fallacious was all the
evidence—how little upon which the Jury could rely. The
respectable Ladies who had been called all stated that even in
autumn last the appearance of Mrs. Baring to her husband were
the same as usual : all was tranquillity and happiness. and
love, anti yet she permitted a gross assignation with the de-
fendant a month before. What right then has any man to infer
that his client was the seducer ? The Lady was married in
11102 • she was then at least eighteen years of age ; she is now
on the verge of fluty, if, indeed, she has not. passed that ma-
tured period of life. The Gentleman was considerably under
thirty, the younger brother of Sir Godfrey Webster, a Captain
in the Army, and was his guilt so great, or did the circum-
stances of the case warrant that he should be subjected to
heavy damages, which would place his personal liberty for
life at the mercy of a man whom he was supposed to have
injured ? Ile was anxious to find out what were the feelings of
the husband, and with that view he asked Mr. Alansilebl, not
whether they observed the common intercourse of life,
not the accidental circumstances of domestic life ; but- what,
in fact, was the conduct of the plaintiff towards hie wile
—how he spent his evenings ; whether his strong.affections
had lasted up to the period of the seduction (for then, in-
deed, the loss would have been irrepairablo ; whether his
attachment had not been abated by former seducers; or
I whether, in fact, when he had been released from the. embraces
of his wife, he had lost any thing more than the name. No
opportunity bud been afforded of any examination as- to the
situation of the lady before marriage, or any of those circum-
stances to point nut the extent of the loss which the plaiatiff
had bust:tined. No such evidence had been tendered ,• and front
its having been withheld he was sure the Jury would draw the
proper inferences. The last persons in the world, likely to
hear what was going forward were the sisters of the injured
husband ; and yet they were the only persona called to de-
scribe the domestic happiness of the parties, which is now said
to have been destroyed by Captain Webster. It wae peel-
ful 'to that Gentleman to be driven to this line of defence ; it
was distressing to him to come here at all ; but
.it became die
duty of his advocate to suggest those topics in -reply to a case
which had been left so singularly bare of circumstances of elu-
cidation. No proof whatever had been adduced a.. re the
period when the alienation of affections lied taken place ; the
only time even suggested was when Mr. Baring had become
3lember for Colchester; and then it was stated by his Learned
Friend that his Parliamentary duties lied occasioned him to be
absent from ,borne sometimes tbr a week, sometimes n fertaight
but what evidence was there to show when it was that elre
Webster had become acquainted with the lady ? None what-
ever. Even the French maid was not called to prove it ; all.wes
left to surmise and conjecture. The letters. unqueetionably
" denote, a foregone conelasion," that the parties mug have
frequenly met; ;but under all the proteibilituei of ihe we! he

Bow-ST.nr.F.T.—On Saturday George Curd, a post-bol.,
the employ of Thomas Clutigh, a stable-keeper, in °stint! -
street, was hrought up in custody, charged with grossly ard
violently assaulting General Sir Charles Doyle, on Wednesday.
Sir Charles stated, dint us he was returning from the revii-v
through Brentibril, in his tilbury, on Wednesday, a mash], :-
able obstruction took place on the. read from the great num-
ber of carriages, and that he saw a chariot anti four coming
behind hint wi;l1 great !Teed ;•ou its coining • up, he heard
voice from.be;iind say, " the -- flog hint, and ride over
him ;" when the prisoner, who was postillion, literally obtyot
the orders given, by applying his whip very powerfully to z.ir
Charles's head and shoulders, and nearly overturOing ti:e
taut!.
Mr. Mtxsitui.r. asked Sir Charles if he was drossed in
uniform at the time.

Sir Charles answered in the elikmative. He then stated, that
being determined.to know the authors of this outrage, he
lowed the chaise and four, and applied to a lady (for theret was
no gentleman within) to know the name of the proprietor 'Of
the horses, 4nd if sae bad any objection .to give her name l 4
this be was courteously told that he was " a damned black-
guard.”--tiir.Cliarles came up to the chaise at Hammersmith.
while the horses were baiting, when he was instantly attacked by
the prisoner. who was on foot, and several times struck iitis
his whip. This outrage was so gross, that several gentlenkeri
passing gave Sir Charles their cards; and some of h:s frienns
coming up, his name was mentioned, when the prisoner,
the person who drove the wheel-horses of die chariot, whom iv,
understood to be Clough, Curd's employer, came and begged
Isis pardon in the most abject manner ; but as this *as not den:
until his name was known, and having the rementbrantie
several several strokes of the prisoner's whip on his head,and
shoulders, he determined, for the benefit of the public, upirrt
taking the step he did ; and the gallant General thanked GO,
that on receiving the second indignity from the prisoner, ,at
Hammersmith, he did not cut him down with a sabre. The
prisoner still refosed to tell his employer's name, and sir Chas.
mounted the horse of a friend, and followed the chariot till, it
arrived at Curzon-street, :flay-fair, where he:learned it wail a
courtesan named Stopford, and her female attendant, that had
Occupied the chariot, and there ascertained the -name of di:
prisoner anti his employer.

the parties, which she refosed, and desired the.post-boya to
make no apology to Sir Chatles Doyle, and if h; iitlluwett her to
