COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Turs DAY.)
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAQI.

NICOLSON V. NASSAU.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the
bar-maid at the Castle Inn at Salthill, against
the defendant for a compensation in damages, for
a breach of promise of marriage; the case was
tried at the late sittings at Guildhall, before the
Lord Chief Justice, when the Jury found for the
plaintiff, 5001.

Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL now moved for a
new trial, on the ground of excessive damages.
The Learned Counsel said, that although a car.
respondence had existed between the partiestand
a promise of marriage being entertained by the
plaintiff, it appeared that the defendant was In a
very bad state of health, which was of a perma-
nent standing. His own income was not more
than 180/. per annum, although stated at
.4801.,
but this difference was to be made up at the dis-
cretion of his mother. The letters which the de-
fendant had written to the plaintiff were dated
four o'clock in the morning, and from them it
would appear the infirm state he was in, some
part being written in ink, and other parts in
pencil, and then leaving off in consequence of
fatigue. The letters put in on the part of elle
defendant spewed his infirmities, that he cquld
have no motive in marrying, notwithstanding,such
had been in contemplation. Under these circum-
stances the Learned Attorney-General trusted
the Court would grant a rule, in order to prevent
the defendant's property being swept away by
the verdict.—Motion for a new trial refused.
