(Before Lord DEN MAN and a Special Jury.)
GRIM CON. —BRUMMELI. V. JACKSON.
__

The ATTORNEY-GENZRAL ( with whom was Mr. Watson)
one stated the case on behalf of the plaintiff. The case was
of the deepest interest to the unfortunate plaintiff. He need
not tell them that it Was one of the deepest injuries that
one-man could inflict upon another, and when they had
heard the evidence he thought the Jury would be satisfied
that the defendant had been guilty of a breach of all the
moral and social obligations. The plaintiff was about
twenty-six years old, and was the son of Mr. Brummell, of
the Treasury. lie was originally educated for the medical
profession, and while residing at Brighton with his uncle,
Mr. Taylor, b:Tame acquainted with a Miss Mary M'Gann,
the daughter of a deceased officer, and a mutual attach-

ment sprung up between them. It was not considered
advisable, however, that they should be married at that
time, but they did get married without the consent of the

friends on either side on the 31 February, 1840. Mr.
M'Gann would not receive his daughter, 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 wag a Lieutenant in the let Dragoon
Guards, and at the time these transactions took place his
regiment was in Carnda, 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 ifititnacy was renewed, and he
frequently dined and spent the evening at Mr. Brummell's,
and it was while that intimacy continued that Mr. Jack-
son, in the most unpeincipled manner, attempted to cor-
rupt the virtue of the plaintiff's wife. He practised his
arts but too succeAfally, and from the evidence laid before
him there could not be a doubt that an adulterous Inttr,

COMPANY.

24th of June, the plaintiff, not having the slightest notion
of any impropriety on the part of his wife, discovered she
was writing to Mr. J4ekson, but 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 be

continued for some days longer in bar society. He would
call before them the mother of the plaintiff, who had

been subpcensed 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.hrs 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 thorn for the attention they had 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,
be had drawn 11.000/ out of the Three per Cent. Con-
sols, and that he had an income of 8001. per annum.
Under these circumstances, he called upon the Jury 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, 1840. 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 been 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.e4 A laugh:) I believe he
was not acquainted with the family of Mr. M'Gann at all.
I knew Shepherd, a coachman, at Baighton. He is a gen-
tleman's coachman. I took a cigar with plaintiff at Shep-
herd's once. I don't know whether he was intimate with
Shepherd or not. It was in January the plaintiff asked
me to be prevent st tho 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 be went to town for it. Mrs. Cooper was also present
at the marriage. The first time I saw Mrs. 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. James'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 be 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 years old.
Mrs. Brummell—l am plaintiff's mother. I reside at
Oxford-terrace, Hyde-park. Plaintiff is my eldest son,
and is now 211 years old. Mr. Taylor of Brighton married
my husband's sister. My son lived with Mr. Taylor for
some time. I heard of his marriage by letter on the 4th
of Pibruary. At M. Taylor arid my husband's
request I agreed to receitie them, and they arrived
on the eth February. I had not seen Miss M'Gann
previously. Oho was of *cry agreeable ,manners and ap-
pearance. She lived afterwards M iffy house, and became
acquainted with all our friends. They appeared to live on
eery sffsctionate terms, and were much attached to one
Another. We had parties occasionally, and they went out
vsiting. Mrs. John llrumrnell is now twenty-two years
Old. I first knew the defendant, Mr. Jackson, about two
years ago. He 'visited and dined at our house. Mr. Jac-
kson was introduced by my anti, 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
Cottle frem his re_githeletal depot at York. I believe his
regiment was in Cafiatla. The itititnacy between defend-
ant and my son was then re.umed, and he dined frequently
with us: lie sometimes came uninvited. I have flee

The letter of the 28;11 of June, from defendant to plain-
tiff was then put in and read.. It was an apology for not
being able Co dine the follevring day, as he (Mr. Jackson)
was obliged to go off to York.. The letter of the 29th
was then read. It contained the defendant's thanks for
the kindness he had received from Mr. and Mrs. Brum-
melt, and taking leave. Another, of the 30th, to the
same effect, addressed to Mr. Brummell, sen., was also

read.
—I saw Mr. Jackson afterwards. He called
Witness
on the 30th Mr. John Brummell had at that
of June,
time takon his wife to Boxhill, in Surrey. He told me
he thought ho had better take her there till after Mr.
Jackson had joined his regiment. Mr. Jackson had come
on the 30th at my request. I said I addressed him as a
mother would a son. A note had been discovered by my
soli, viti4ea by Mrs. Jvhh 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, and was accommodated with a scat,
and a glass of water was procured for her, which
revived her a little, and the examination proceeded.]
I said Mrs. Brummell said it was the only note, and that
my son quite acquitted his friend of any treachery—tha'
it had never reached Mr. Jackson. He gave me his
honour he would not visit them when they were settled.
He thanked me for my many kindnesses—that there was
no friend he loved like rny son, or for whom he had a
greater respect. He then went, away. I did riot go to
Boxhill. I never saw Mrs. John Brummell afterwards.
She was never allowed to be alone svith Mr. Jackson. He
never said or did anything in my presence that showed
the slightest int;macy 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 the 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. lie had ne
profession.at the time, but my husband was endeavoLring
to procure a partnership fur him. My son gave Mr.
Jackson a ring with his own and his wife'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. Brunimell in a phaeton to Hampton Court.
I always spoke kindly of Mrs. John Brummell, and treated
her respectfully. I never recollect speaking slightinely of
her conduct. My son did not complain of being disap-
pointed, and having got no money. I nev"r heard him say
that he and his wife were a couple of fools.
never heard my son come up the stairs 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 joint
capense of the gentlemen, Sir John Leighton, my son,
and Mr. Jackson. I never heard any quarrelling between
my son and his wife except on the one occasion I before
referred to. My son and his wife went to Boxhill, on the
Mai June. I wrote a note to the defendant on the 30th.
I was at Richmond on the occasion of the water party in
April, but I did not then think there was any attachment
between Mrs. Bruinmeli and the defendant. I never
heard any other' person make the remark. My husband has
been 33 years in the Treasury—his salary is 500/. a-year,
and he has some trifling property besides. The Opera
liots was taken on the occasion when we went by Mr.
Jackson and Dir John Leighton. My husband and three
of my daughters accompanied us: Mrs. John 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 plat in end read. It requested an interview be-
fore he left Lend=
William Frederick Snell—l am a Colonel in the Guards.
I have known the parents of the plaintiff for some
y f have visited them and dined occasionally. I saw
the plaintiff and 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
hire. I saw nothing particular in the attentions of defen-
dant to Mrs. John Brummell. I saw them sit together at
dinner, but remarked nothing particular in his attentions
to her. lam not a married matt. 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
en habits of intimacy with all the family I recollect
plaintiff and his wife coming to Oxford-terrace. They
dined once at my house. They were on very affectionate
terms: He seemed very proud of her.
Cross-examined by Mr. Tnesic;e.o—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 marts from. I knew
Mies 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
Miss M'Gann and her father. She had a cage with a
canary bird. When we took up a lady at Charles-street,
Mr. M'Gann got out. When I WAS getting off the coach
at the Hare and Hounds, Mrs. Brummell 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
Win till the day mail went out. She gave me half-a-crown
for my trouble.
Thomas Henry King—l drove the Brighton Times on
the `2. id 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 23d of June.
There was a place booked at Brighton for London, to be
taken up on the road. Mrs. Brummell got inside when I
came to Crawley. I only drive half way, and then return
to Brighton.
Richard Carpenter—l drive the Age from London to
Redhill and back. On the 23d June Mrs. John Brummell
was 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 lads, was to be taken up at Crawley, and I
made the observation to Mr. Brummell, who was in the
box with me from the Regent-circus. He said " No, she
came from Brighton." Ile 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 Scares—l keep the Somers Arms at Rad-
hill. On the 22d of June :t lady arrived by the Times
coach from Brighton. A gentleman was there waiting
for her about a quarter of an hour. I know new that it
was Mr. Jackson. I saw him to-day again near the Court
on the opposite side of the street. They remained abou
ten minutes after the lady arrived, and then went off to
Docking. I have since seen the lady at Brighton, and I
heard she was Mrs. John Brummell. It was at her fa-
ther's, Mr. M'Gann'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,
Redhill, and drove a lady and gentleman to Dorking on
the 22d 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 gentleman re-
ceiYed her. I recollect there was a canary bird and a cage
among the luggage. We drove to the White Horse at
Dorking.

sham. 1 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 bad a bird cage with her when she was at my house.
'4-Henry John Ware—l am an attorney's clerk at York,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, FEB. 12.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN TIIR MATTER OF JAMES GOLDIE.
This was the day fixed for the choice of assignees in
the matter of the bankrupt, who was formerly the manager
in the large establishment of Messrs. Smith, the extensive
distillers at Thames-bank, but bad latterly kept a distillery
on his own account in Whitechapel. His debts and lia-
bilities are said to be very heavy, and though his assets
could not be accurately estimated, they are considered to
be rather trifling. It was stated at the commencement of
the proceedings that the choice of assignees was to be
contested, but eventually it turned out that no opposition
list was handed in.
The Court was extremely crowded, and proofs were ad-
mitted for 21,0001.
The assignees appointed were Mr. Staving and Mr.
Smaal (the gentleman whose name has been so much be-
fore the public in the case of Small and Atwood), and
Mr. Smith, the distiller of Thames-bank.
