BREACH OF PROMISE or MARRIAGH.—A4 the
Court of Record, Salford, on Tuesday night, the last
case taken was that of " Spencer v. Leary,' for breach
of promise of marriage. The parties reside at Roch-
dale, and are both rather young. The plaintiff (Miss
Margaret Spencer), according to the statement of Mr.
Monk, is a dressmaker; and about two years and a half
ago the defendant, Mr. Abraham Leary, the son of an
ironfounder doing a respectable business, began to pay
his addresses to her, and carried matters so far that om
the 24th of August, 1847, the wedding bonnets and
dresses of the bride intended, and the bridesmaid, had
been purchased, with his approval. The bridesmaid,
at his especial request, a cousin to the plaintiff,
had come all the way from Coventry to be present.
On the following morning the bridal party awaited
the arrival of the defendant to accompany them
to church, but he detained them all day in vain;
and it was not until eight o'clock at night that
he arrived to apologise, and throw the blamel had
ati
disappointment on his father, who, he said, of
to set him up in business if he w
few months longer before he was married. lll'lhde wpalaiitn!
tiff was again led to believe his intentions " honourable,"
and to hide her chagrin went to pass some months at
Coventry, during which the defendant continued to
write to her, pledging himself to fidelity in the strongest
terms. At length, however, he had taken another bride,
