PRICE sn.

A knife was found near the canal side. When arrested, he
.asked the pct.:lice-constable to go to his mother, and tell her
not to fret shout it.

Thomas itighton, surgeon, stated that he was called in at
about half-past six. Deceased was in a chair. The wound
in her throat caused her death. She could not have spoken
after it, for it severed her windpipe, and must have been done
by a person standing behind.
The prisoner was found Guilty, when
Mr. Justice COLTMAN passed the awful sentence of the law
upon him, that he be hung, holding out no hopes of mercy.
The prisoner remained unmoved during the trial. He was
spoken off by the witnesses as a mild inoffensive man, while
the deceased was often violent in her conduct towards him,
and once struck him with a poker.

Hatch, and had a cottage at Combe, close to Paddon's farm-
house. He is about thirty. He appeared to be a man of wealth •
kept horses, dogs, a dog-cart, groom, a yacht with
five men,
a phaeton, also a gamekeeper; he rented a manor also. He
said he had a house in town, a barouche, an estate at Hay
ling, also one at Croydon. He came to Mrs. Ellice's daily;
some days many times. We often went out in his yacht, by
invitation, myself, the plaintiff, and Mr. and Mrs. llayes.
I remember the Teignmouth races. On the second day we
both went. I and Mrs. Ellice walked to to the course with
the defendant. The race-course is close to the town. He
was particularly attentive to Mrs. Ellice, and introduced her
to his brother-in-law, Mr. Marston. I saw the defendant on
the next day. He invited myself and Mrs. Ellice to go
to Torquay. We went about two o'clock, in a hired
carriage. He was exceedingly attentive to the plain-
tiff. We returned in the evening. On the next day
he called, and said he was going to London. On that
day I dined at Mrs. Hayes's. On my return I found
Mr. Fenwick there in the drawing-room with the plaintiff.
I thought my company was not desired, and j went into the
next room, which was my bed-room. There was a door com-
municating into the drawing-room. There is a table, a
dressing-table, next the door. I stood at that end still.
There heard the defendant speak. It was in a loud tone. I
heard him say, " Mrs. Ellice will you have me?" She said,
" Your family will think you foolish." He interrupted her,
saying, " My family have nothing to do with it—will you
have me ?" I did not hear what answer she made. Soon after
this I went into the room. The defendant had his arm round
Mrs. Ellice's waist. He said, you see Mrs. Ellice is afraid to sit
next me now. He remained about half an hour, and then left.
He called again the next day, and from that time he came
daily. He made her various presents—a writing-desk and
Bible, which he• said had belonged to his deceased sister,
and much valued, some French slippers, gold studs, marble
vase, gloves, and daily presents of French flowers and wine.
I have heard him tell Mrs. Ellice that he had desired his
yacht-men to call on her daily for orders, which they did,
and she often gave them orders. The defendant spent
most of his time at Mrs. Ellice's lodgings. On the 24th of
September, which was his birthday, he said to me that he
had wished Mrs. Ellice to spend that day with him at hia
cottage alone, but she had refused to do so on that day.
We lunched with him on board his yacht, and then walked
with him to the cottage. The children had been sent by
him, with the nurse, to the cottage to spend the day, and Mr.
Downs walked with us. The defendant's attentions to Mrs.
Ellice were very particular on that day. On the next day
we went in the yacht to Exmouth, and returned in the
evening. During all this time the defendant's attentions
were of that kind as if he considered himself engaged to
Mrs. Ellice. I remember a Mr. Johnstone, the plaintiff's
father, and his wife. On the 30th the defendant expressed
his regret that he was engaged out to dinner. Showed Mr.
Johnstone about the town, and arranged to go with him,
his wife, and Mrs. Ellice, to Torquay the next day. They
went in the defendant's phaeton, and Mrs. Ellice sat by
his side on the front seat, and Mr. and Mrs. Johns-
tone behind. In October I heard that it was arranged
that Mrs. Ellice was to take the children of Mr. and Mrs.
Seward to Cheltenham. This was ou the 2d of October.
The defendant said he was obliged to go to Exeter on busi-
ness, but hoped to get it over and go to Cheltenham with
the plaintiff; it was also arranged that Lord, me, and Mrs.
Johnstone, should go up to Exeter on the 3d and meet her.
We went up and stopped at the Full Moon, where we were
met by the defendant, who said that he was sorry that he
had been unable to go with Mrs. Ellice. He said he should
co to meet her at the railway station ; he did several times,
but she did not come by the first train, by which be said he
expected her. We dined together, and he ordered dinner to
be prepared for the plaintiff in time for the last train. He
told me that he was about to dismiss his housekeeper and
sell his dog-cart to retrench. Previous to settling he or-
dered a fly at half-past eight, when he went to the station
and returned with Mrs. Ellice. He then gave her the gold
studs. We returned to Teignmouth in his carriage. He
promised to dine with Mrs. Ellice the next day, but did not
come. The next day there was a ball at Teignmeuth. The
defendant called in the evening at six, and said he should
not go the ball if he could help it, but should
come again about ten. I went to the hall, where I again saw
him. I asked him why he had not kept bis appointment to
dine, he said he had been at the barracks engaged with the
colonel. He said the officers had been teasing him
about his being a married man, but he did not care
for that. He said he had an engagement with the colonel
the next day, but should call on the plaintiff. He called
three times, and it was arranged that Mrs. Johnstone,
myself, and Mrs. Ellice should go en board the yacht the
next day, which we did. The defendant, on this and all
other occasions, behaved in a way he could not have done
had he not considered himself an engaged person. He said
lie was going to Oxford on the 16th of October, and it was
arranged that we should go to Exeter to meet him. Mr.
and Mrs. Johnstone were to return on the same day to
Dublin. They went, but Mrs. Ellice did not, as she was
ill. This was the 14th of October. Before he went
away he gave Mrs. Ellice a packet. Some time after
this, about a fortnight, I saw the defendant in Exeter.
I never saw him at Mrs. Ellice's after his return
from Oxford. When I saw the defendant at Exeter
I told him that Mrs. Ellice had been ill. He expressed
great regret—he could not help it—that he had received
some anonymous letters from Teignmouth, saying that his
`conduct had caused her illness; that he was sorry he could
not come down that day, as he was engaged. Desired me to
give his love to her, and tell her so. I went back that day.
After this I saw Mr.i Downes, he was an intimate friend of
the defendant. He came to Mrs. Ellice's. I was in the room
with her. Some conversation passed, and he left. I never
after saw the defendant there. Mrs. Ellice remained at
Teignmouth until November, and tl:en left.
Cross-examined by Mr. CROWDER—I had known the plain-
tiff for four years before July, at London, Cheltenham, and
at Brighton. I began to reside with her is the September
before she went to Teignmouth. This was at Cheltenham.
In London she lived at my brother's. She had no employ-
ment at that time, nor had I. I afterwards went to Frank-
fort. When I came back she engaged me as a subteacher
under her, and she went to Teignmouth. We lodged just
opposite the hotel. It is a narrow street. Mr. Fenwick
once gave me some gloves and a pencil-case, which he first
offered to Mrs. Ellice. Ido not know he was in the habit
of always going out in his yacht with ladies. After he was
introduced to us he never went out without us. Mrs.
Ellice had given him a present. [Here the Learned Counsel
produced a painted earthenware figure of a widow, and asked
the witness if that was the present. This created excess of
laughter in the Court, in which the witness joined, and ad-
mitted she had seen such an image before, and believed it to
be the same.]
Mrs. Johnstone corroborated the evidence of the last wit-
ness in all particulars as to what took place after her (Mrs.
Johnstone's) arrival at Torquay.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Hayward at some
length, but he did not in any way shake her testimony.
Henry W. Hayes—l reside at Teignmouth. I know both
the plaintiff and the defendant. I have known the defendant
about two years. He keeps a yacht and lives as a gentle-
man of fortune. He has told me he has an estate in Hamp-
shire. He has spoken to me of the widow. I understood by
this he meant Mrs. Ellice. He once said to me " he'd be
d—d if he would not marry the widow." He said he had
written to his sister, Mrs. Marston, about it. I have seen
him since this action was brought. I have been examined
by the attorney on the other side, and am subpoenaed by
both. I once heard him say " that he had never written.
There was no evidence against him in handwriting. That he
had suffered before, and a burnt child dreads the fire." I
have heard him say that there was an action for breach of
promise of marriage brought against him by a Miss Lacy;
that he had compromised it for 1,0001., and had paid 500/.
for expenses. I have sometimes heard him speak of Miss
Wilson. This was in January or February that he was en-
gaged to her, and meant to marry her. He showed ins a pile
of letters, and said they were hers.

111 r. CROWDER addressed the jury for the defence. He
contended that there was no evidence from which the jury
could infer a solemn contract to marry, and that the present
by the plaintiff to the defendant of the china image after
she must have felt that the defendant's attentions had ceased,
showed that she was rather inclißed to treat the whole mat-
ter as a joke.

Mr. Baron ROLFE having very minutely summed up the
evidence to the jury, they immediately found a verdict fur
the plaintiff—Damages, 5001.

LANE V. FOALS.
Mr. Crowder, Mr. Butt, and Mr. Cornish conducted the
case for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr.
Barstow that of the defendant.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in
damages for slanderous words used by the defendant of and
concerning the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff was
the son of a clergyman,
who had lived at Kingsbridge, and
the defendant kept the principal hotel in that town. For
some time between 1840 and 1843 the plaintiff had lived in
the defendant's hotel. After he had left the defendant's
house, that person said of him that he had been guilty of an
abominable crime. The plaintiff, in the year 1844, brought
an action against the defendant for that slander ; when the
case came into court at Exeter at that time Mr. Cock-
burn, who was counsel for the defendant, made a public re-
tractation of the charge, and accompanied it by an apology,
and an arrangement was made by which a verdict passed for
the plaintiff for 40s. damages, and the defendant was to pay
30/. towards extra costs. Some time after the settlement of
that action the defendant repeated the imputation. The pre-
sent action was therefore brought.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, on behalf of the defendant, said
that the character of the plaintiff had been fully vindicated
by the apwogy made on the former trial, and that, after the
subsequent repetition of the offensive words, the plaintiff
should have put forth to the world that apology. The
Learned Sergeant then called upon the jury, under these cir-
cumstances, to give very moderate damages.
Mr. Baron ROLFE summed up the case to the jury,
ob-
serving that in such a matter he thought they should not be
niggardly in awarding damages. Surely the plaintiff was
not, upon a repetition of the slander, to be put to the ex-
pense and trouble of publishing the apology made by another
person for the defendant i but, notwithstandir% the krnaer

or ratractatlon used. The question alone was the amounrof
damages, and that was the peculiar province of the jury to
decide; but he thought it a case calling for liberal damages.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
3001.

SOUTH IMAGES CI R CUlT.—Carmarthen,

NISI PRIES COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Wrozrrmes.)
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE AND SEDUCTION.
OWEN V. WILLIAMS, CLERK.

In this action, Margaret Owen Was the plaintiff, and the
Rev. William Williams defendant ; and the action was
brought by plaintiff to recover compensation in damages
from the defendant, for the non-fulfilment on his part of a
promise to marry her.
Mr. E. V. Wi!liams and Mr. E. L. Richards, appeared for
the plaintiff; Mr. Chilton, Q.C., and Mr. Wilson, for the
defendant, who pleaded that he had not promised to marry
plaintiff, in the form and manner stated.

Mr. V. WILLIAMS addressed the jury on the part of the
plaintiff, who be said was the daughter of a person in a
humble though respectable condition in life, carrying on
business as a farmer and master carrier, near Lampeter, Car-
diganshire. The defendant was a clergyman of the Church
of England, residing near Lampeter, and about five miles
distant from the place where the plaintiffs father re-
sided. The plaintiff bad the misfortune to lose her mother
at a very early age, and the management and care of the
family had been left to Mary Owen, plaintiff's eldest sister.
The family consisted of three sisters, besides plaintiff, as well
as two brothers ; and the plaintiff and another sister were
engaged as confidential servants in respectable families in
the neighbourhood, The plaintiff at the age of seventeen

dant. The plaintiff, then about twenty years of age, was,

would marry her, but also expressed a wish to delay it for a
time, alleging that the circumstaice of his marrying
his
woman in that condition might prove an impediment to his
obtaining priest's orders. lie (defendant) therefore proposed
that the plaintiff should take private lodgings at same dis-
tance in the country, he (defendant) offering to pay all ex-
pense,, to provide an attendant, &c. Soon afterwards he
met the plaintiff's sister, and communicated to her the cir-
cumstances, when she was of course extremely shocked at
the intelligence. The defendant, with a view of allevinting
her grief, assured her that he would marry the plaintiff,
adding, " We are already married in the sight of God,
and what takes place in the church is unimportant,
being merely a matter of form before men." Could it
be wondered at that a girl placed in the plaintiff's
situation, when addressed in such language by a clergy-
man of the Church of England, had given way to temp-
tation ? Could it be wondered at that in an hour of
weakness her virtue had not been sufficiently strong to
resist his importunities? For some reasons, however, the
proposed arrangements had been abandoned, and the plain-
tiff in August, 1844, was delivered of a son in her father's
house. During the time of her confinement the defendant
repeatedly visited her, and expressed as much pleasure as
any man owning large possessions would on the birth of an
heir apparent. He evinced great tenderness, and on the occa-
sion brought her a copy of Welsh verses written by himself,
a literal prose translation of which he begged to read to the
jury. [The Learned Counsel here read the verses, a speci-
men of which is given below, and which excited some mer-
riment from the quaintness of the phraseology. J The plain.
tiff's education had not been such as to qualify her to inter-
mix with society in a creditable manner as a clegyman's
wife. The defendant therefore proposed that she should go
to school at Aberyatwith, and, in order to enable him to cor-
respond with her without the mistress knowing that she
had a pupil carrying on such a correspondence, he addressed
her as his cousin, although it was well known that the
plaintiff and defendant bore no blood relationship towards
each other.
The following is a specimen of the prose translation of the
Welsh poetry, written by defendant on the occasion of plain•
tiff's confinement :
"Dearest Margaret—Be not grieved; better times thins
these will come again, when you and myself shall be quite
,
light-hearted. Many times I have sorrowed and groaned
heavily, because I had been the instrument to grieve you,
my darling. The only comfort I can give you is to !eve and
cherish you after having united our hande, For all
who behave unkindly to thee, my dear, there yet remains
mi'fortune, woe, anguish, and long sorrow, with very great
repentance.
above everything, is to comfort thee. Therefore raise up thy
heart and be again full merry Alarg'ret ! Margret I
Marg'ret! Marg'ret !—( Laughter.) In me thou hast put
thy trust; trust again for a while."
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the first letter
of defendant to plaintiff after her arrival at school. The fol-
lowing are extracts :
" My dear Cousin,—Nothing but the sight of you, and
talking to you face to face, can be a greater pleasure to me
than writing to you. It is most pleasing that lam able to
make known to you that all your relatives are in health,
especially your most dear love, Thomas James Williams. I
will pay you a visit before long; all with whom I converse
about you give you extraordinary praise, by commending you
more and more, and stating many good qualities you possess,
while I listen to them with delight, as 1 always do to hear
my relatives praised, especially you, my dearest cousin, Mar-
garet. I can never make known half my love to you, were
Ito write a year. . . Ido hope, for the sake of your dear
lover, that you do not make any acquaintance, in the shape
of love with any one, as that would be the perfect';, breaking
of the treaty of your dearest."
The Thomas James Williams alluded to in the above, as in
several other letters, was the plaintiff's child, whom the de-
fendant had called after his own name. The manner in
which he is spoken of was undoubtedly used to blind the
schoolmistress. Two other letters followed, in which the
defendant expressed the most ardent affection towards the
plaintiff; and made the most affectionate reference to the
child. In another letter, dated January 8, 1845, the plain-
tiff gives the defendant some news of the courtship going
on in the neighbourhood, and the information conveyed was
anything but chaste or delicate. In reference to the plain-
tiff's child, lie writes ;—" I cannot possibly conclude without
saying that your dear love, Tom James 'Williams, Esq., is
doing well; ho is getting fat, and begins to grow red. I
suppose he drinks hard—( Much laughter)you will not be
able to know him when you next see him. He becomes a
bigoted gentleman like his papa. I shall write a long letter
soon again ; believe me to remain your ever affectionate
cousin, W." Several additional letters were read, all breathing
the most ardent affection ; but (observed the Learned Counsel)
the jury would perceive, that although he had promised to
visit the plaintiff at Aberystwitb, he had never done so--
she consequently walked a very long distance for the purpose
of meeting him. In a letter written by the defendant subse-
quent to this, he expressed regret that she should have un-
dergone so much fatigue. She appeared to have suffered in
health. In his last letter, dated Feb. 8, 1845, defendant
writes :—" I am very sorry to hear you have been unwell,
but with feelings of tender love I sincerely hope yon have
recovered from your illness, and are quite as well as ever.
My dear, I did not receive your kind and affectionate letter
until Saturday. I-hope you will go back as soon as possible.
I beg of you to do so for your own sake. Do not mind, my
love, what people do say and talk. You know that people
cannot but say one thing to-day and another to-morrow ;
therefore I trust you will, dearest, scorn what they say, and
believe what I say, as Ido what you say." He concludes,
"excuse my bad writing in great haste; hoping you and Tom
are well, I remain yours sincerely, for ever, Was. WlLLtimit."
The Learned Counsel proceeded to state that it was impos-
sible to doubt that throughout this correspondence, and sub-
sequently, the defendant had expressed the most ardent at-
tachment to the plaintifF. On the sth of March the child

himself ; wished the plaintiff's family to go in mourning.
He visited plaintiff's father's house nine days afterwards, but
for some reason known only to himself, since that time he
had shut himself up in the house, and would see neither the
plaintiff nor any of her relations. Whether he thought that
the child being dead, there would be no danger of an order
of affiliation or whether he was influenced by any other rea-
son, he (the Learned Counsel) could not say. Mr. Williams con-
eluded an address of much feeling, by contrasting the present
condition of the plaintiff with what it would have been as the
wife of a clergyman of the Church of England, had the de.
fendant not violated his promise. He hoped the jury would
give damages proportionate to the serious injury indicted olt
the plaintiffs feelings and reputation.
Mary Owen, the plaintiff's eldest sister, an interesting
Welsh girl, was then examined through the medium of an
interpreter. She could speak English, but preferred Welsh.
Her evidencefully bdre out the statement of the Learned Coun-
sel respecting repeated promises of marriage ; defendant's
conduct during her sister's confinement ; his theory of mar-
riage in the sight of God, &c., to the close and decline of his
attentions. It appeared he was in expectation of a benefice,
and for some time gave that as a reason for the postponement
of the marriage.
A postman was called to prove the delivery of severral let-
ters from plaintiff to defendant ; and another witutes deposed
to some unimportant circumstances.
Mr. CHILTON, Q.C., then addressed the jirry in mitigation
of damages. He had seldom addressed ajury under a greater
sense of the difficulty of his task, and the responsibility im-
posed upon him. lie did not appear there to deny the •
main
facts of the case, nor to excuse tile defendant's conduct. The
case had been presented to the jury in a very specious and.
highly coloured manner. It would appear from the opening
that the plaintiff was a young woman of very respectable
attainments, but it turned out that her education was of the
very commonest kind, until defendant had
placedher in
school, in no way adapting her for a clergyman's wife. In-
deed, she could hardly have been said to any educa-
tion. The defendant's expressionrespectingpossess-
t marriage in the
sight of God had not been used
tion, as opened by the Learned as
language
o 3°licita-
Counsel, but as language of
palliation and remorse, after having done what he knew to
have been wrong and unholy. No evidence had been •
given
as to defendant's property. The defendant well knew he had
no benefice. If the jury awarded heavy damages it would
be tantamount to blighting all the future prospects of the
defendant
The Learned JUDGE having minutely and concisely
summed up the evidence, the jury, after a short deliberation,
returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages.
This concluded the assizes here, and the Learned Judge
left for Brecon on Saturday morning.

CC,LLISION ON THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—Ott Sao
turday evening the up mixed train, which left Birmingham
at •t 5 minutes past five, met with an accident of a formidable
nature, but which did not, fortunately, cause loss of life or
limb to any one. Everything went on well until the train
had passed the Cheddington station, but on entering a deep
cutting about two miles from Tring, the train came in vio-
lent collision with three luggage waggons, which were most
unaccountably left standing on the rails. Most of the pas-
sengers were thrown off their seats, and as soon as they re-
covered from the shock, many of them get out and scrambled
up the cutting, as there was great fear of the express train
coming up and dashing the other train to pieces. The guards,
however, immediately dispatched men both up and down
the line with signals to stop it, and in this they fortunately
succeeded. The three waggons were turned off the rails, the
first one completely thrown over, and all of them much da-
maged by the collision. They '.ere in such a position that it
was found impossible to get them clear, and after two hours'
delay the train was taken back as far as Cheddington (three
miles), and after the mail down train had safely pained, was
transferred to the other line, and arrived in Louden about a
quarter past one, three hours after the regular Vans.
A notice bas been received by the Customs' authorities
of a revolving light having been established at the entrance of the
