SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCHELL.)
BURGESS V. NASH.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.--Thig was an
action to recover damages for breach of promise of mar-
riage. Defendant, who appeared in person, had suffered
Judgment to go by default.
Mr. PARRY, in stating the case, regretted that the de-
fendant had not availed himself of the assistance :of
counsel. The plaintiff is a young lady, whose relatives
reside in Herefordshire, and defendant was at one time
a man of considerable landed and personal property
In Gloucester. The engagement between the parties
alreasnt eonftetrhe ed
relatives,
es
into with the full and entire con-
in 1841, the plaintiff then
being about twenty years of age and defendant 31.
The Learned Counsel, in a very elcquent address, urged
that the jury ought to give very substantial damages, as
he should prove that the defendant had acted in the most
treacherous manner towards the plaintiff, and had pro-
bably acted in a similar manner to another lady,
w"( 411 he had since married during the year
1846. It would be shown that the defendant
had told the brother of the plaintiff that he bad
entered into an engagement with the lady, last
alluded to, but was anxious to break it off, and pledged
himself to honourable and fervent affection towards the
Qaintiff ; yet, after his solemn and deliberate promise,
}had continued his previous acquaintance with his
present wife. The Learned Counsel said that if there
i.aad been any treachery on the part of the defendant to
his wife, and marriage was but a partial atonement, it
Would be difficult to say what would be an atonement to
the plaintiff; whose feelings had been so cruelly injured,
had been rendered so miserable and wretched. The
Learned Counsel read a voluminous correspondence,
and also proved that, notwiths:anding the defendant's
Present assertion of poverty, he was still in compara-
tively affluent c;rcumstances.
The evidence adduced was in perfect accordance with
the statement of the Learned Counsel.
The defendant addressed the jury, and not only as-
d that he was poor, but contended it was proved
thbt the action was not that of the plaintiff but of her
fri( nds.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said the jury must
not, in estimating their damages, seek to punish the
defendant, but at the same time they were bound to give
Sucht damages as they thought would be some compensa-
. lon to the plaintiff for her injured feelings, having re-
gard to the means of the defendant, who had given no
evidence as to his means, but it had been sworn he had
represented himself to be worth 5001., and likely to fall
Into a further sum of 1,2001.
The damages were laid for 500/.
The jury gave a verdict for 150/.
