SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCUELL.)
BURGESS V. NASH.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—This 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 tof
eounsel. 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
was entered into with the full and entire con-
sent of the relatives, in 1841, the plaintiff then
being about twenty years of ago 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,
whom he had since married during the year
1846. It would be shown that the defendant
had told the brother of the plaintiff that he had
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
plaintiff ; yet, after his solemn and deliberate promise,
he ,had continued his previous acquaintance with his
present wife. The Learned Counsel said that if there
had been any treachery on the part of the defendant to
his wife, and ;carriage 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,
and bad been rendered so miserable and wretched. The
Learned Counsel read a voluminous correspondence,
and also proved that, notwithstanding the defendant's
presentquisertion of poverty, he was still in compara-
tively affluent c;rcumstances.
The evidence adduced was in perfect accordanee with
the statement of the Learned Counsel.
The defendant addressed the jury, and not only ea-
sel ted that be was poor, but contended it was proved
that the action was not that of the plaintiff but of her
frig 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
such damages as they thought would be some compensa-
tion 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/.

ANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE KNAPP-THE ABINGDON BANE.
To-day was appointed for the last examination of this
bankrupt. The examination had been adjourned from
time to time for fuller accounts, and to-day those pro-
duced being considered the beat which could be made
, under the circumstances, the bankrupt was allowed to
pass, and a day appointed for the consideration of the
certificate.
This was the only case of the slightest interest in the
list.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice MAIILE and Mr.JusticeWicuTmex.)

TRIAL OF MULLINS, THE CHARTIST.
George Bridge Mullins, a surgeon, whose trial was
postponed from last session, was indicted for feloniously
compassing, imagining, inventing, devising, and intend-
ing to levy war against the Queen, &c. The prisoner
on appearing bowed respectfully to the Court.
The Attorney-General, Mr. Wilsby, Mr. Clarksor,
Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Clerk, conducted the case for the
proseetion.

- Mr. Parry and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner.
The case appeared to excite very little interest.
Mr. Streight, the Clerk of the Arraigns, having read
the indictment at full length,
The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty in a loud and firm
!eke, and at the request of Mr. Parry the addresses
and occupations of the jury were read as well as their
names. A great number of the jurors were objected to
by Mr. Parry, especially those resident in London.
The calling over the names of the jury and the objections
to them occupied some considerable time.
The jury having been impannelled and sworn,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded on the part
of the Crown to state the ease to the jury, and detailed
at some length the history of the conspiracy, and de-
scribed the nature of the evidence which would be ad.
duced in support of the charge against the prisoner. The
Learned Gentleman did this almost in the same words
as he did on the trials of Dowling, Cuffey, Lacy, and
others who were convicted at the last session.
Thomas Powell, the approver, was then called and
examined, and gave almost the same evidence he did on
the trials of Dowling and the others convicted at the
.last session. On that occasion we gave the evidence at
length, and it is therefore unnecessary to repeat again
In detail. The examination of this witness was not
pon.oluded when our paper went to press. The proba-
bility is that the trial will last till a late hour on Satur-
day evening.
