INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 19.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.)
IN RE FREDERICK TOWN FOWLER.
) This insolvent, described as a reporter and contribu-
tor to newspapers, applied under the Protection Act.
Mr. SARGOOD said, he appeared on behalf of Mr. Gell,
t a solicitor, to oppose. The insolvent had obtained a
copy of the Bishop of London's charge to his clergy, de-
livered in St. Paul's Cathedral upon the occasion of his
visitation, on the 2d November last. In consequence of the
mode in which the charge was obtained from the bishop
• some remarks appeared in the Daily News, and the in-
solvent employed Mr. Gell to bring an action for libel
against that paper, but that action had never been tried,
and Mr. Gall had been obliged to sue the insolvent for
his costs, to avoid the payment of which the present ap-
plication was made.
The alleged libel was read from the Daily News of
November 4, 1850. It ran as follows:
"In connexion with the above charge it may be ne-
cessary to expose a trick not by any means unprece-
dented, which in this instance was practised on the
bishop, and' by which one of that class of newspaper con-
tributors known as penny-a-liners,' managed to net a
considerable sum. A member of the fraternity alluded
to waited on his Lordship early in the week, and repre-
senting himself as accredited by the several morning
papers for the purpose, solicited permission to take a
copy of the charge in order that those inaccuracies which
would be inseparable from a shorthand report of a
document read in St. Paul's might be avoided. The
bishop believing the statement that the applicant
was, as he said, sent by the morning papers, and
being desirous that the report, if it appeared in
the newspapers, should he fully and accurately given,
consented, but stipulated, in order to guard against pre-
mature publication, that the manuscript should remain
with him until Saturday, when he would hand it over to
the party at St. Paul's Church. This condition was at
once agreed to, and the liner' with the aid of three or
four of his friends proceeded to make at the bishop's, six
copies, one for each of the morning journals, the manu-
script of which when finished was duly handed over to
the bishop; but by some means during the process of
copying the liners' managed to make a seventh copy
unknown to his Lordship, which they carried away with
them. Provided with this, copies were multiplied and
hawked round to the newspaper offices, weekly as well
as daily, and offered for sale for whatever could be got
for them, and while the bishop supposed that the docu-
ment was safe in his own house, it was already in type
at several of the religious weekly newspaper offices, and
within a few minutes after his Lordship commenced
reading it on Saturday morning, it was published at
length all over the town. Our reporter, on applying on
Friday evening for permission to take a copy of the
charge (an application which was readily and courte-
ously granted), on being informed of the condition under
which the previous copies had been made, explained to
the bishop the trick which had been played on him. It
is needless to add that his Lordship was considerably
annoyed, and that the liner's' chances of succeeding
again in the same quarter are but small. We only men-
tion the circumstance hero to guard others from being
imposed upon by parties who, by representing themselves
to be count cted with the press, and by entering into con-
ditions which they never mean, manage to levy a sort of
black mail, sometimes upon the public, sometimes upon
the proprietors of newspapers."
Tate insolvent, on being examined by Mr. SARGOOD,
said he was engaged in transcribing the Bishop of Lon-
don's charge, and furnished copies of it to the papers.
He had obtained leave to copy it on the Tuesday pre-
vious to its delivery, and he copied it at Fulham Palace,
assisted by two gentlemen named Woods and Potter.
He only made six copies and a " top slip." He was the
person who arranged with the Bishop to copy the
charge. On the Tuesday when he received the charge
there was no understanding about the number of copies
to be made, but he left with the Bishop the six copies
for the six morning papers at his own suggestion, to
assure his Lordship from premature publication.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS asked if such a course
was usual? The insolvent replied, he had often got a
copy from the bishops, and the remarkable fact about
this was that the Daily News broke faith and published
it. That paper thought that they could get it from his
Lordship for nothing, and they went and told the whole
thing, that it was set up, but it was never published till
after it had been delivered. The Daily News would not
nice a copy from him, as they said they did not care
about it. He supplied in all about 20 copies. His leaving
the Eix copies at Fulham Palace would have prevented
anticipation, but he did not tell the Bishop of the seventh
copy, nor ask leave to take it, as the idea of leaving the
six copies was his own suggestion. When he first applied
to the Bishop he had no engagement on any paper in
London, and acted only on his own authority as a general
reporter. He did not tell the Bishop that he applied
on behalf of the morning papers, nor did he recollect
that he mentioned any. lie was employed to report the
charge for the Guardian and three or four other reli-
gious papers. He had waited on his Lordship the pre-
vious day, and by his permission he went and stayed all
day copying it, and dined at the palace. The Bishop
admitted him as a general reporter and upon his know-
ledge of him. He took the seventh copy to the Guardian,
who set it up and gave him printed slips, which he took
round to the newspapers. He only went to one or two
offices himself—to the Morning Chronicle, who paid him
5/. or 61. for it. He also furnished it to the Times, to
whom it had been offered on the previous night by one
of his colleagues, and refused. The Times paid him
101. ss. 6d.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Why did the Times
pay more than the Chronicle? Insolvent—Because they
used more—they used the whole charge.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Did not the Morning
Chronicle use the whole? Insolvent—No.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —That was 'hardly fair
to the Bishop of London, I think.
The insolvent further stated that he received five gui-
neas from the Guardian, five guineas from the Morning
Yost, three guineas from the Standard, three guineas
from the Christian Times, and a guinea for an extract
from the Britannia. He estimated that they divided
32/. 103. between the three. Ho got the six copies
from the Bishop in the cathedral on the Saturday, as
had been agreed.
Mr. SARGOOD asked which part of the paragraph in
the Dailg News the insolvent called a libel?
The insolvent said he called the whole a libel—a lie.
He was the person referred to, and the two friends were
friends of his.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought that, supposing
it was proved that insolvent was the person referred to,
he was charged—first, with telling a falsehood to the
Bishop; next, with fraudulently making a condition he
never meant to keep; and thirdly, by means of that
falsehood and fraud, levying black mail on the public.
It these allegations were not true it would be hard to
say the article was not a libel.
Mr. SARGOOD —Had you any authority from the Bishop
to use the secret copy of the charge which he did not
know you possessed? Insolvent—l had no authority,
but I might have taken all of them. He gave me his
charge on the Tuesday. and I took my copy to the print-
ing offices, but it was not published till it had been de-
livered. The bishop saw me put the seventh copy into
my little desk. I made arrangements for supplying the
charge before it was delivered, but was not paid till
afterwards, In consequence of the libel the Morning
Chronicle required me to clear myself before they would
receive my contributions. The Bishop enjoined me not to
publish the charge until after its delivery.

Mr. Gall was then called. He said the insolvent called
upon him, about the 20th of November, with Potter and
Woods, and showing him the article in the Daily News,
wished him to bring a joint action for libel, which he told
him he could not do, as the actions must be separate, and
advised them to try one first. They showed witness the
alleged libel, and he said, "I suppose this is not true, be-
cause if it is the other bide can j ustify ;" to which insol-
vent replied that he knew all about that. Witness 'then
said, if the article was untrue he would give the insolvent
an opportunity of proving it in court. Witness afterwards
saw Fowler, and told him he should require the costs out
of pocket as he proceeded, to which Fowler agreed. The

action proceeded as far as giving notice of trial, which
witness after wards countermanded, in consequence of
not seeing the insolvent nor receiving the costs out of
pocket. Upon commencing the proceedings witness
was not aware that the insolvent had taken a secret
copy of the charge and dealt with it before the
Bishop had delivered i!. It he had known the de-
fendants could have proved these facts upon the trial he
would not have incurred the expense of bringing this
action. There %W.' 3no ground for the statement in the
schedule that witness undertook to carry the case into
court for 71. When witness sued the insolvent the latter
appeared at the trial and addressed the jury, abusing
witness and calling him a "pettifogger, feeding
and fattening on costs," &e. Potter was called by the
defendant as a witness, but the jury returned a verdict
for the amount of costs, subject to taxation. The insol-
vent afterwards moved for a now trial, and again ad-
dressed the court, asserting that ho was a victim among
many, and that he had received letters from many vic-
tims of witness's, but the application was refused.
Upon cross-examination by the insolvent, Mr. Gell
said, his claim on the trial was 34/. 7s. 7d., which was
reduced upon taxation to 24/, 183. Bd. Ho denied that
he had ever agreed to bring the action for 71. He had
bad no communication with the solicitors for the pro-
prietors of the Daily News.
In reply to the COMMISSIONER, Mr. Gall said, he be-
lieved now that when the insolvent gave him instructions
to bring the action he never intended to pay the costs,
and that his object in commencing the action was to re-
instate himself in the opinion of the other papers.
Tho insolvent was re-examined respecting a debt in
the schedule for costs of an action brought against the
Hull Advertiser. Ho said, in 1848 ho was examined as a
witness for the Crown upon the Chartist trials, and in
consequence he, with everybody else connected with the
trials was abused by the Chartist papers, and the Hull
Advertiser called him "a bankrupt penny-a-liner, whom no
editor of a daily newspaper would believe even on the
matter of a street accident." The editor of the Times
and the editors of all the other morning papers (said the
insolvent) know me, and would vouch my character, and
will now, notwithstanding this about the Bishop.
The insolvent said the defendants pleaded that the
Chartists were never convicted, and rendered it neces-

sary to produce copies of the conviction of each prisoner,
a matter which would have cost 1501., and not being able
to afford such a sum the action was dropped. He had
also brought an action for libel against Feargus O'Con-
nor, which was compromised for 301. •
Mr. SARGOOD then addressed the Court, and urged that
the case was not one for protection. A solicitor having
been instructed to bring an action for libel, it was im-
portant at the outset he should know whether it was a
mere affectation of injury OR the part of the plaintiff for
the purpose of an end only known to himself, or whe-
ther it was such a case as presented any prospect of suc-
cess. The insolvent, upon being asked to-day to point
out any part of the article in the Daily News that was a
libel, contented himself with saying generally the whole
was a lie. The Learned Counsel then went seriatim

through the alle,4ations in the article, and contended
that they %sere all provt4 either by the admissions of
the insolvent or by the inevitable inferences to bo drawn

!rom his evidence.

Mr. Commissioner PumaPs said, according to the
evidence of the insolvent, which was the only evidence
he had before him, the case was not at all like what was
stated in the ailged libel. The insolvent said he went
to the Bishop not as a mere stranger, but as an old
acquaintance, and his Lordship received him as such.
It would be going a length to impute fraud if the insol-
vent told the truth in saying that the Bishop never asked
for the copies of the charge, but that it was a sugges-
tion of his own. The insolvent averred he had kept
faith, having taken care'to stipulate with the newspapers
to whom he furnished his seventh copy, that they should
not publish it till after tho charge was delivered, and
they kept faith. If that were so, it would be hard to say
the insolvent might not believe himself libelled by being
told he " he had levied black mail upon the public and
deceived the Bishop, so that his levies in the same
quarter would be unsuccessful in future." Without the
evidence of the Bishop of London, contradicting the in-
solvent, he (the Learned Commissioner) had nothing to
say to the case.
Mr. SARGOOD said, after his Honour's observations,
his client was quite willing to bring the Bishop here.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS told the insolvent one of

Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Then did you not de-
ceive his Lordship? Insolvent—No. I said it should
not be published before he delivered it, and it was not.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Did you not, when
giving him the six copies, intend him to believe that he
had all the copies in his possession? Insolvent—Yes.
COMMISSIONER —Was not that deceiving him? In•
solvent—So far as that goes, it was. .
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—You have admitted one
deceptiuu, and that is enough to mal.e me pause before
I believe your conduct has been entirely straightforward.
Mr. SARGOOD said, he had so strong a conviction that
the Bishop of London intended to furnish the morning
papers with an tlccurate copy of his address free of
charge, that he could not believe he permitted the insol-
vent to hawk it about to all the newspaper offices for sale
at whatever it would fetch; and, therefore, he thought
the case ought not to bo concluded without his Lordship
having an opportunity of informing the Court how this
man obtained his copy of the charge.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought,
under the cir-
cumstances, it was due to the Bishop of London that he
should attend.

The cane was then adjourned until gondaY
and a summons issued ter the attendance of the Bishop
of London. (this day).

IN RE SAMUEL DICEY WRIGHT.
This case was reported in the Limes about three weeks
since. It was announced to-day that the opposition was
withdrawn.

Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said be was glad to hear
it, and as that was the case he need oaly add that it gave
him pleasure to find that no fraud whatever had been
imputed to the insolvent, who might now, be discharged
fortn with.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 19.
NISI PRIIJS COURT.—(Before Hr. 13eron PLATT and
a Special Jury.)
JOHNSON U. BOUGHtY.
This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage,
brought by Sarah Ann Johnston (by Thomas John-
ston, her next friend) against Anchitel Fenton Fletcher
Boughey, a captain in the 81st Regiment, the brother
of Sir John Boughey, of Aqualate, in Staffordshire.
The damages were laid at 2,0001.
'The defendant pleaded a mutual release from the mu-
tual promise alleged in the declaration, on which plea
issue was joined.
Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Haworth appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Thomp-
son for the defendant.
Mr. KNOWLES, in opening the case, said, the action
was brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for
a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant by
his pleadings did not deny the promise, but
alleged that before the breach the plaintiff had
released him from it. Of course it would be for the de-
fendant to make out that plea. In the first instance, for
the purpose of making it understood who the parties
were, it would be his duty to enter into a slight detail
of the facts as they were communicated to him by his
instructions; and if he should succeed in imparting to
the minds of the jury anything like the impression
which those instructions had imparted to his own, this
they would think, beyond all doubt, was a case for exem-
plary damages. The father and next friend of the
plaintiff was the proprietor of an hotel at Hull, called
the Royal Hotel, ono of the most respectable hotels in
that town. He had three children—two daughters and
a son. His eldest daughter, the present plaintiff, was
now about 20 years of age, and at the time to which he
should have to call their particular attention she was in
her 18th year, possessed of good personal appearance,
well brought up, and carefully educated, and had always
been a person of the most exemplary conduct, her cha-
racter having always been above the slightest suspicion.
The defendant wee a gentleman who lived in a more
elevated position in society, and was a captain in her
Majesty's 81st Regiment, and was connected with a very
ancient family, being a brother of Sir J. Boughey, and
had obtained from the society in which he moved an ele-
gant and refined manner. He had also the advantage of
having attained to a period of life when a man might
be fairly supposed to know his own mind—he was 32
years of age. Of his private fortune he knew nothing,
except that, from his position and style of living,
ha must be a man of property. The 81st Regiment, in
December, 1848, was ordered to Hull. The quarters of
the officers not being prepared, the officers took up their
abode at Mr. Johnston's hotel, and remained there a few
days. At that time the plaintiff was not at home, and
the defendant did not see her. But afterwards the de-
fendant was in the habit of frequently calling at the
Royal Hotel, and in time he formed an ' acquaintance
with the plaintiff. His attentions were not for a long
period of a marked character, and it was not until this
acquaintance had been continued twelve months that his
attentions began to attract the observation of Mr. and
Mrs. Johnston. On the discovery being made that an
attachment was growing up between the parties, the
plaintiff's father and mother, being well aware that
men of the world, and military men in particular, paid
these attentions without any very serious thoughts or
intentions, endeavoured to break off the intimacy, and
sent the plaintiff to a place called Chase, in Lincoln-
shire, to the house of a relative, the plaintiff herself
being kept in ignorance of the purpose and object of her
visit. The defendant expressed himself as greatly
dis-
satisfied at her absence, and importuned her mother to
discover whither she had gone, and at length learned her
address; end he then protested that he would go over to
Chase and pay his addresses to her there unless she were
brought home, and spoke in such a manner respecting
her as left no doubt as to the sincerity of his professions,
and that his motives were honourable to the plaintiff.
The plaintiff's father and mother, therefore, thought it
best to bring her home that she might receive the defen-
dant's addresses in a proper manner. Accordingly, on
the 6th of April, 1850, she returned, and two or three
days after the defendant wholly explained himself to her
and to her family, and proposed to make her his wife,
and that offer was accepted. This was, of course, eere.

municated to all her felends, and she received their con-
gratulations on what seemed to be the promise of an ad-
vantageous marriage. This went on for a short time,
during which period the defendant spoke of endeavour-
ing to effect an exchange into a regiment in Canada, as
the cost of living there was more reasonable, and that he
would take his wife with him, and her sister. The de-
fendant also made the plaintiff a present of a ring, which
afterwards would be found referred to in the letters, and
which was made the subject of a very painfal scene, and
on the return of which was founded the plea pat upon
the record. On the lith of April the defendant left
Hull for Berwick, and from that period, up to the 13th
of May his letters were uniformly kind and affectionate,
and the subject of his marriage with the plaintiff was
more than once alluded to. A couple of days after that
a cloud seemed to have come over the scene, and his
conduct towards her entirely changed. The Learned
Counsel hero read several of the letters, which
were of great length and very common-place
and goseipping. They spoke of Berwick being a
wretched place, which improved on acquaintance; of
fishing being the chief occupation of himself and the
inhabitants, and praised the climate and weather, which
be described as delightful. They spoke, also, of the dif-
ficulty he experienced iu effecting an exchange into a
Canada regiment, and were interspersed with many ex-
pressions of tenderness towards the plaintiff. On the
13th cl May, however, the tone of the defendant's let-
ters changed. In a letter of that date he mentioned that
ha had carefully weighed his circumstances and prospects
in life; that his fortune was not sufficient to purchase
his promotion, and that he had little but his pay to live
upon, amounting to some 2001. a year; and that he could
not help thinking, with their present means, that to
marry would be a very unwise step to take: in addition
to which his union with her must sever many ties and
friendships with the members of his own family—all
which could not condace to their future happiness. This,
said the Counsel, the defendant knew long before, and
the jury would not for a moment listen to the defence of
a man who, under such circumstances, first put forward
the plea of poverty, and then that the plaintiff was un-
worthy to associate with his connexions—those very
connexions, probably, having been the plaintiff's chief
inducement for entering into her engagement with him.
This letter appeared to be written with the object which
it did not directly avow, of getting from the plaintiff an
answer to form the foundation of the plea placed on the
record. By still addressing her in the language of affec-
tion no doubt the defendant thought that he should extort
from the poor girl's fondness what he had not the man-
liness directly to ask. The plaintiff, however, did not so
write to him; the plea on the record must rest on some-
thing else. But in her letter in reply she said—
" Poverty you plead as the obstacle to our union ; but
you know, dear, that I am not one of those who would
like to live in grandeur and splendour, even if I had the
means. Your society, and a neat and comfortable home,
is all I would or could desire. Poverty does not dimi-
nish my love for you, but increases it much more.
Surely we ought to cling to each other with more con-
stancy and fervency. But as I have before assured you,
you have only to name your wish and mine will readily
coincide with it. I put my whole confidence in you
(for you are dearer to me than any other person liv-
ing), and I am quite certain that it is not misplaced, so
that whatever you will do so I am sure will be for the
best."

Again, on the 15th of May the defendant wrote in a
similar strain, his object evidently being to obtain a
release from his promise. By this correspondcnce the
plaintiff 's health received a severe shock, about which
her parents were not silent and insensible, and accord-
ingly her father wrote to Captain Boughey the follow-
ing letter :

" Royal Hotel, Hull, May 24, 1850.
" Sir,—My feelings as a father compel me to ad-
dress you on the subject of your engagement to my
dear child. The altered style of your letters to her
have so affected her health that I demand of you, as
a man of honour, to let me know explicitly what your
meaning is.
" I do not desire to press your engagement with her
to a speedy fulfilment, but must have your immediate
answer whether you still hold that engagement inviolate
on your part or not, as I can no longer bear to see her
in the state she is, or allow her to be made the laugh-
ing stock for th© whole town, who knew from your own
actions of your engagement to her, and also from your
correspondence up to the 13th of this month, wheit all
of a sudden—and from what cause I know not—you
write, not exactly to say that you decline to fulfil your
engagement, yet your apparent meaning is to that effect. I
—I am, sir, yours truly,

" IL T. JOHNSTON.

"Captain Boughey, 81st Regiment."
In answer to this letter the defendant wrote on the 28th
of May a letter, which the Learned Counsel said he
thought was from another pen, as it exhibited a busi-
nesslike style, and a judgment quite different to his
former letters. It was as follows:

• " Berwick, Hay 28, 1850.
" Sir,—Referring to my note of the 25th inst., and in
answer to yours of the previous day, in regard to the
fulfilment of an engagement on my part to your daugh-
ter, and requesting to know whether I still hold that
engagement inviolate on my part or not, I have to inform
you, that in a previous letter to Miss Johnston I most
fully explained to her my present circumstances, and
also other almost insuperable objections which I foresaw
to the fulfilment of any engagement which might exist
between us, and asking for her true and sincere opinion
on them, and which I trusted she would experience no
difficulty in affording to you also. I now have to state
that, taking into consideration my present income, and
to which there is not the slightest chance of any aug-
mentation, so far even from maintaining my position in
society, I should have to descend, and furthermore, the
great mortification I should feel from all the ties of the
friendship and society of my relations being inevitably
severed, and I cannot but form the conclusion that should
any engagement be carried out it would far from con-
duce to your daughter's happiness. As regards any post-
ponement, I really think it beset with many difficulties.
I have no prospects whatever beyond my present means;
and would it not on my part be most unjust, if not cruel,
to ask or offer the fulfilment of an engagement which
would necessarily be delayed to an indefinite period,
without even the shadow of better prospects?
" After the foregoing explanation I trust von will al-
low me the favour of an interview with your daughter,
at which I am desirous of affording her every explana-
tion. If you should not deem it proper to grant mo
that gratification I shall ho ready, at any place and time
which you may appoint for an interview (except on
Friday next), to give you my reasons for having come
to the conclusion—and which I am sure you will agree
with me in—that the request your note conveys, if ful-
filled, would very far from conduce to the happiness and
true welfare of your daughter, and such as I trust she
will always enjoy.
" I have to remain your obedient servant,
"A. F. F. BOUGHEY.
" Mr. H. T. Johnston, Royal Hotel, Hull."
After the receipt of this letter a day was fixed for an in-
terview at Hull, and the defendant made his appearance
at the time fixed. The first person ha saw was Mrs.
Johnston, of whom he inquired for her daughter. Of
course the plaintiff had prepared as well as she could for
the meeting, but she had relied too much on her own
strength in being able to support it. Tho plaintiff was
seated on the sofa, her sister beside her, as the defend-
ant entered the room where she 'was. As soon as the
defendant appeared the poor girl fainted. This was the
commencement of the scene. The defendant begged the
other sister to get a glass of water; he took the plain-
tiff in his arms and endeavoured to restore her. While
this was going on the defendant motioned to
Mrs. Johnston to leave the room, which she did. On
going down stairs she met her husband, add at his de-
sire immediately returned. During that interval of
three or four minutes no release of the promise could
have been made, as the plaintiff had scarcely recovered
her senses, and was weeping when her mother again
entered the room. At this period it was impossible for
the plaintiff to exercise anything like judgment, and if
the defendant had then obtained anything like a renun-
ciation of his engagement it would have been ten thou-
sand times more manly if he had said—"l will not take
advantage of the deplorable condition to which this poor
girl's feelings have reduced her; I will wait till she is
able to form some determination." The defendant again
told Mrs. Johnston that he wanted to speak with her
daughter, and must be left alone with her, and ho was
again left alone with her for ten minutes. What trans-
pired he could not tell the jury, but after that the de-
fendant went down stairs and took his departure; no
• more was heard of him, and there was an end of his in-
tercourse. Mrs. Johnston went upstairs to herdaughter,
whom she found weeping, and she then observed that the
ring given her by the defendant had been removed from
her daughter's finger. She asked her daughter about it,
who seemed scarcely to be conscious, and she said " It is
broken" or " the affair is broken." The defendant had
got back the ring. Whether she had thrown back the
worthless bauble—for worthless it was after he had so
treated her =or whether she had, as his Learned Friend
would say, returned it to him and released him from his
promise, or how he got it, he (the Learned Counsel) could
not say ; but, fortunately, that was not the law, for a
similar case had been decided in that very court two or
three assizes ago, and the decision had been upheld by
the superior courts, in which it was held that the mere
submission of the weak to the strong, where a plaintiff
under such circumstances could not help assenting, did
not amount to a release of an engagement. That being
so, it then came to a simple inquiry what this young
lady was to receive for the loss of an honourable con-
nexion, and what damage she should receive for having
had her feelings trifled with by a man who now pleaded
poverty as his excuse. His friend might urge that
this would be en ill-assorted match, end the &feel:l-it's
family would be severed from him by it. But if there
were anything attractive in a high position, it enhanced
the damages the plaintiff ought to receive, for it was that
which she had lost. No marriage whatever could com-
pletely restore the plaintiff, for her health had received
a blow which threatened to injure her for life.
Mrs. Johnston, the wife of Mr. Henry Johnston, of
Hull, examined—Her husband kept the Royal Hotel. Her
daughter, the plaintiff's name, was Sarah Ann. She had
three children—two daughters and a son. Two or three
officers of the 81st Regiment stayed at her husband's
hotel in December, 1848. Captain Boughey was there,
the defendant. Her daughter at that time was in Lin-
colnshire. She returned in about a month, and Captain

Boughey was occasionally in the habit of calling at the
hotel. Ho paid particular attention to her daughter,
which she at length observed towards the end of 1849.
This attention afterwards formed the subject of conver-
sation between her and her husband. She and her hus-
band never did anything to encourage that intimacy,
bat
sent their daughter from home to the house of a re-
lation in Lincolnshire. At that time they knew that
the regiment was about to leave Hull. Her daughter
did not know more than half an hour before she was sent
away whither she was going. Captain Boughey asked
her where Miss Johnston was gone to. She told him
she had gone out of town. He reneatedly made this
inquiry, and told her he thought she had sent her
daughter away on account of his coming. In the end he'
found out where she was. He said if she %STA not
fetched home he should go over and see her. Her daughter
was fetched home early in April, and the defendant got
to know of it, and saw her on her return. It
Was on a Saturday. On the next evening Cop-
tain Boughey and again saw her daughter.
They were at supper. Several times before her
daughter came back, and before she assented to her
coming home, Captain Boughey talked to her about ho r
daughter being married, and she (witness) said she was
too young. She was then 18. On the 22d of March he said,
" This is Miss Johnston's birthday, and it is the first she
has ever spent from home, and she wilLnever spend another
so." Witness asked him what he meant, and he said,
" You know, Mrs. Johnston, she will soon leave here."
On the Tuesday after her daughter's return she was out
and in the bar, and her daughter and Captain Boughey
were sitting on the sofa talking. When we were going
to bed she told me of something.
Sergeant WILIUNs objected to its being stated what
she told.
After that Captain Boughey showed her daughter
marked attention. In about a fortnight after the de-
fendant went to Berwick. In the interval before he
left she learnt from the defendant that he was to be
married to her daughter before he left for Berwick. He
told her that it was much better and cheaper living in
Canada. His brother had been there; and he said he
would exchange into a Canadian regiment. He treated
her daughter with the attention natural under such cir-
cumstances. He gave her daughter a ring on the Thurs-
day after he had been engaged. She was sent for up-
stairs. Captain Boughey and her daughter were sitting
on the sofa. Her daughter held out her hand with a
ring on it turned, and Captain Boughey placed his finger
on it and said, that was to be the place where the ring
was to be. The morning he loft for Berwick he asked
Mr. Johnston to take her daughter to Jamieson's, the
silversmith, to get the ring altered. He then went to
Berwick, and she did not see him again till Saturday,
the Ist of June. In the interval she was aware that a
correspondence was going on between her daughter end
Captain Boughey. Her daughter was made acquainted
with the day and time he was coming up. Before that
time there had been an alteration in her health, after a
letter she received from Captain Boughey in the middle
of May. On the Ist of June, when they saw Captain
Boughey, they had notice of the train by which he was
to arrive. She mat him in the passage when he came.
Ho put out his hand and shook hands with her, and said,
"Now, Mrs. Johnston, where is she?" Witness arid,
"She is upstairs." He went upstairs and witness fol-
lowed. Her daughter was lying more than sitting on
the sofa. Her younger daughter was in the room. As
soon as her daughter saw him she fainted away. Captain
Boughey asked for a glass of water, and her youngest
daughter got one from the table on which luncheon was
laid out, and gave it to Captain Boughey. He placed
it to her lips, and motioned to witncss to leave the
room, which she did, and went down stairs. Her
husband was in the bar and was angry with her for
leaving the room; she therefore, after waiting a few
minutes, returned. She went into the room, and her
daughter was partly recovered. She was on the sofa,
and Captain Boughey was standing over her. She had
scarcely recovered her senses, and was crying bitterly.
Witness tried to compose her as well as she could.
Captain Boughey said, " I was in hopes, Mrs. Johnston,
that Annie would be able to talk, but she cannot say a
wbrd." Witness said, "Oh! Captain Boughey, I little
expected this; this is a bad job." Captain Boughey
elemed much agitated, and walked about and said, " Mrs.
rOhnston, I want to speak to Annie; I cannot say what
Want to say while you are here." This he repeated
rice or twice, and witness at length left the room. In
seat ten minutes she went up to the room again. The '
ill was rung. Her daughter was on the sofa in great
,istress. The Captain was standing beside her. He said,
Now, Mrs. Johnston, I must ace her father; my time is
up." Witness immediatly went to the landing, and called
her father. Her father came up and went into the
next room. She heard them talking; they talked high.
She went into the room. The: Captain was walking
about. He said, "I did not bargain for this; we will
not have Mrs. Johnston here." Witness then returned
tolher daughter. She was still on the sofa. She took
he in her arms and tried to console her, and hoard the
door open, and went to the door with her daughter
leaning on her. Captain Boughey came out and passed
the room in which they were. Her daughter called to
him, and said, " Anchitel, Acchitel!" He merely looked;
he never spoke. She never saw him again. She remained
with her daughter some time, until she became more com-
posed. Witness took her hand and saw that the ring
was gone. For some time after that her daughter was
very ill indeed, and it was necessary to call in medical
advice for her that afternoon. Dr. Bell attended her
every day from the time her daughter received the let-
ters in the middle of May, and continued to attend her
till the Saturday after the Ist of Jane, when ho directed
her to be sent from home. She was away seven or
eight weeks, and up to the present time her daughter
was in very indifferent health. The Captain kept two
hunters, and spoke about them to her. Ile never said
much to her about his means or fortune.

Cross-examined—Her husband had kept the Royal
Hotel five years last October. Before that they kept
wine and spirit vaults in the same street. She made
that known to Captain Boughey, when he talked to her
about her daughter, and told him where it was. They
kept the wine vaults ten years. Her daughter never as-
sisted in the bar or acted as barmaid. She did not sit
there, but in a private room. She might sometimes write
down what she (witness) directed in the bar, and she
might on some occasions have drawn a glass for
a customer. She and her husband attended the bar.
They kept a billiard room, and the officers of this regi-
ment were very much in the habit of frequenting it—
Captain Boughey among the rest. They sometimes came
into the bar and talked over the news. Her hus-
band sometimes played billiards with the offi-
cers. Her daughter dined in the bar; it was a private
bar. Captain Boughey had never been alone with
her daughter before she went to Chase, in Lincoln-
shire. He always treated her with the greatest possible
respect. Tho first, time they wero over alone together was
on the Monday after her return from Chase. The pro-
posal was on the Tuesday. When ho proposed to go
to Canada he did not say that it would enable him with
his means to live comfortably. He did not say to her,
that, though he was highly connected, yet, being one of
a family of eleven, his means were small. She believed
he was one of a family of twelve. Her daughter was
not before delicate in health, She was not a robust

girl. She now complained of being very weak, low, and
fretful. Witness had said if she ever went to Canada
it would kill her. Her relative living at Chase was a
farmer. Her husband had not met with losses very
lately. He had met with losses but they had not much
straitened his circumstances. 'They were eight or
nine years ego, and ho had recovered them. was
not straitened for means. Her husband might not
always have been able to meet his engagements when
due. Her daughter was now et home. She knew a
Mr. Hartley. Her daughter had driven out with her
and Mr. Hartley once or twice. A Mrs. Buddy was
attending to the hotel in her absence.
Re-examined—ller daughter had only left school the
midsummer before this happened. Her daughter had
some colour then, none now. She had always told Cap-
tain Boughey they were very poor—much poorer than
they really were.

Ikr. Bill examined—Had attended plaintiff's family
20 years. He was called in to attend the plaintiff in the
middle of May. He found her in a very distressed state
of mind, and could not make out what was the matter
with her. He recommended quiet to her. Medicine
was not what she wanted. On the Ist of June he called

--
and found her very ill and quite an altered girl.- He
was told what had occurred, and urged that she should
be sent from home. She was a very plump and healthy
girl before the middle of May. He saw her last night.
She was very much debilitated. Distress of mind and

confinement to the house had produced a disease which
led to that result.

Cross-examined—Distress of mind had proluccd
unctional disease of the uterus.

The letters were put in and read, and this was the
plaintiff's case.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINs then proceeded to address the
jury for the defence. He said the case appeared to him
to be devoid of the circumstances and incidents calcu-
lated to call forth that assumed feeling of his Learned
Friend regarding the verdict which they would pro-
nounce. His Learned Friend had had recourse to an
ingenuity, to a perversion of reasoning, in order to
enhance the damages of his client, which, but
for his position of advocate, would subject him to a
charge of want of charity. What his Learned
had been lease to se as barbari and cruelty

eyes of all lead to a very different conclusion to that
which his Learned Friend had arrived at. Stripped of

gentleman left her. There was. acoertship of about t n
days, et the end of which period the gentleman went
away, and, except on the interview on the Ist of June,
the plaintiff never saw him again. And yet this was
a case of blighted hopes, for which his Learned Friend
called for exemplary damages. Exemplary damages!
What did his Learned Friend mean? The jury were
to say, as men of business, What, as a matter of pounds,
shillings, and pence, should be given to a young lady
who, ho would show them, would never have brought
this action at all but for the necessities of her father.
Ho was not going to say that it was anything disgraceful
in Mr. Johnston to have kept a ginshop, or that he •

was afterwards able to take the Royal Hotel ; but
he stated this in order not to justify, but to exonerate
the defendant. His Learned Friend admitted that the
plaintiff was good-looking, well brought up, and care-
fully educated. In justice to the defendant, he would
take leave to say that he was certain he could not as
his (the defendant's) advocate do anything which would
so promote his displeasure as to attempt to disparage
the character and conduct of that young lady. His
client had never offered her a look which could offend
her delicacy, or said a word to her inconsistent with his
position as a gentleman and a man of honour. There
she stood, at a time of life when impressions of this
kind were soon obliterated, with the whole world before
her, and not much damaged by what had occurred.
Now, as to the defendant. He was admitted to be a man
of distirguished appearance, of ancient family, of large
family connexions, of great elegance of manner and
poor—a captain in the army. The only ground for as-
suming him to be a man of property was that he kept
two hunter e, and that they were paid for. He need not
say how prone gentlemen in the army were to spend 2s.
6d. out of GI a-day, to live a gay life, eieing with each
other, ending in bill discounting and difficulties ; and if
his Learned Friend could urge nothing stronger to
prove that the defendant was a man of property than
that he once paid fur two hunters, he thought there
was net much ground laid for the defendant being able
to afford to pay large damages. Although of a very an-
cient family,it was admitted that it was a very numerous
one, and ancient families were not now-a-days always
the moat wealthy. Generally, men engaged in com-
merce, who did not waste their days in smoking cigars
and playing billiards, were the men of wealth. To that
family, iu all probability, the intention of the defendant
to marry the plaintiff had been communicated. Was it
not wise in them to urge to him their prospects? 'Was
it not wise in the defendant, when removed from the in-
fluence of the plaintiff's attractions, to listen to the ad-
vice of his friends, and as gently as he could to her feel-
ings, and as honourably as he could to her family, to
withdraw from his engagement with her? The conduct
of the plaintiff's parents had shown that
.they were too
ready to encourage the defendant's attentions to their
!laughter. There was nothing in the case to distinguish
it from one where any officer of a regiment went into
the bar of an hotel to smoke his cigar, drink his
grog, and talk trifles with the lady he might meet
there. If this had been like the case referred to by his
Learned Friend, where there had been a correspondence
between the parties for seven or eight years, hiteLearned
Friend.m.ight.have referred to that as a guide to their
t the lottery put in showed little mere
dthecainsitohaelarellaittbouta barrack life, and were more about
catching trout than of affection to the plaintif£ The very
moment the offer was made it had been accepted. What
would have been the position of the plaintiff had the de-
fendant married her? Where a man married into a fa-
mily below his own the members of his family passed the
wife by; she was slighted, and the necessary conse-
quence was, their happiness was marred; and although
voung ladies might indulge in the chimera of love in a
'Cottage, men of the world knew well that poverty
under circumstances such as this case presented did not
conduce to happiness. The defendant, no doubt, had
been remonstrated with, and it had been impressed upon
him that he had nothing to depend on but his pay in the
army. The natural consequence would have been that
he must have sold out, when he would have been unfit
for any other occupation. The money which his com-
mission would have produced would have been soon gone,
the reproaches and coldness of his family would beget
coldness from him and between them, and a life of mi-
sery and unhappiness would have been the result. He
thought the jury would conclude, with him, that the de-
fendant had acted wisely in doing as he had done, and
that, so far from having acted with barbarity, his conduct
showed, from beginning to end, that he was making a
sacrifice of his own feelings and affection to his sense of
right to her. In all respects the union would have been
an incompatible one. He would have been shocked by
her gaucheries in the drawing-room, though what she
did would be proper enough in her own station in life;
and this also would have led to discontent and coldness
between them. The Learned Sergeant then commented
on the extraordinary proceeding of the plaintiff having
kept a copy of all her letters, which he attributed to
the suggestion of her father, who, having foreseen how
the connexion must terminate, had suggested such ecourse for the purpose of the present action. The cir-
cumstances of the last meeting showed, he submitted,
evidence sufficient that the contract between the parties
had ban rescinded. If the jury should be of a con-
trary opinion, and that the defendant ought to pay
some damages, he begged them to take the whole cir-
cumetauces of the case into their consideration, and to
give such temperate damages as they thought right;
and he could only assure the jury that the prayer of his
client was that the plaintiff might engage hereafter in
some more congenial match in which she might find
that happiness, that contentment, and that personal com-
fort which could not have resulted from a matrimonial al-
liance with his client.
His LORDSHIP having summed up, and carefully gone
through the evidence,
The jury retired, and after a short absence found a
verdict for the plaintiff—damages 3001.

- yr ASP STINGS.—It is a fact worth
knowing at this season of the year, when wasps are so
troublesome with their stings, that no application will afford
such instantaneous relief as a drop of " liquor potassx,"
(potash-water) ; indeed its effects are so unfailing, that it
may be termed a specific cure. It operates by neutralizing
the injected poison, which is undoubtedly of an acrid nature.
Families and persons who have the care of children, will do
well to have always at hand a small quantity of this solu-
tion, which should be kept in a stoppered phial. It is not
au expensive application; a quarter of an ounce will be
quite sufficient to order at once, and a single drop placed on
the wound, (which should be first slightly opened), is all
that is required.
