COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi • Prins, before Lord Chief Justice

Cockburn and a Common Jury.)
APPLETON V. MORSE.--BREA.CII OF PROMISE OF
MARRIAGE.

Miss Jane Appleton, the plaintiff, sued Mr.
Thos. Morse, the defendant,_ to recover damages
for breach of his promise to marry her, and he
pleaded that they had agreed that the contract
should be rescinded, but he did not appear per-
sonally or by counsel to support his defence.
Mr. Phinn, Q.C., and Mr. Pearce appeared for
the plaintiff.
Mr. Phinn, in opening the case, said the plaintiff
was the daughter of a tradesman of great respecta-
bility, and she sued the defendant in consequence
of a most wanton breach of his promise to marry
her. Cases of this kind presented an infinite variety
of circumstances. Sometimes they came before a
jury in a very mitigated form, but other times they
called for very serious and grave reprehension ;
and he had hardly ever heard of a case that re-
quired more unqualified condemnation on the part
of every one who heard- of the conduct of the de-
fendant than this did. The defendant was a pub-
' lican keeping
.the Chester Arms, in Bunhill-row,
and in the course of his business ho became
acquainted with Mr. Forrester, a collector to a
brewer, who had m trried the sister of the plaintiff.
The acquaintance between the plaintiff and defen-
dant took place early in last year, the introduction
being at a place which seemed favourable to intro-
ductions of the kind—the Crystal Palace—and the
date was Good Friday. The defendant seemed
much smitten by the plaintiff's attractions, and
proposed to visit her on the following Sunday, and
matters progressed so rapidly that, on the 28th of
April, a correspondence commenced with which
he need not trouble them in detail, there being
about forty letters, but he would read one or
two as a sample. The learned counsel then read
the following letters :
"London, 14th May, 1856.
_ _ _ _ _

" MY DEAR JANE,—By that name I feel I ought
to address you. lam afraid I cannot accept your
kind invit .tion to tea on Sunday afternoon, but I
shall have infinite pleasure in being with you from
six to seven o'clock, and have the satisfaction of
spending a fiw hours in your agreeable society. I
got home safe and sound the other night, and at
your sister's shutters lapped, but her was in the
arms of Morpus—(a laugh)—enjoying a sweet sound
sleep. Regretting I have not the pleasure of being
so situated ; but perhaps the day is not far distant.
I hope, my dear, that you are enjoying good health,
as this delightful weather must be fine in your
part; Don't be surprised if you see me some fine
morning to taste your hot rolls and butter.
(Laughter.) With my best respects to your bro-
ther, tell him the order for the theatre next week
will be safe. Expecting to hear from you I remain,'
my dear Jane, " Yours affectionately,
" THOMAS MORSE."
" London, 26th May, 1857.
" MY DEAR JANE,.—On Sunday much solace and
comfort did your kind, feeling, and affectionate
note convey to my heart, for which permit me to
offer you my warmest and fondest thanks, parti-
cularly coming from the hand of a lady where one
is fondly attached. lam now most happy to in-
form you I am much better, and able to assist in
my business alittle. To-morrow (Wednesday) being
the Derby day, I don't feel well enough for the
bustle, but propose calling upon your niece, in the
Clapham-road, to-morrow afternoon, so I may see
many folks return. If you are not otherwise en-
gaged, I will meet you at your sister's, Mrs. For-
rester's, to-morrow afternoon, say six o'clock (not
to tea). I hope, my dear Jane, you are in good
health and spirits. I have had a sharp bout of it.
I compare myself to a mushroom, down at night
and up in the morning. (Loud laughter.) Taking
word from your note,- I wish we was differently
situated, that we may love and cherish each other
in sickness and in health. With my warmest at-
tachment and fondest love,
"I am, yours,

iII:TOMAS MORSE."
"Bunbill-row, 2nd July, 1857.
"MY DEAR JANE,-I have no doubt you con:

, eider my last very short, but I was so very late and
unable to see my friend after I left you. I did not
feel inclined to chance the tickets for the dinner of
yesterday, and considering the weather I do not
feel disappointed. To-morrow (Friday) being
generally a quiet day with us, I shall nave much
pleasure in seeing you here with your sister, or by
you'self, to tea. I shall be at home at half-pas
five o'clock, if that time will be convenient to you.
You must n.Tit expect ceremonies in the house of a
widower, without the important *piece of furniture ;
but I trust it is already manufactured and only re-
quires a slight remove. (Laughter.) I begin now,
my dear, to feel that after enjoying a delightful
share of happiness for years, and now living such
an unsettled life makes one feel dejected, and such
feeling must be removed. Is there such a party
that can do it Yes. Trust you are well, as lam
quite so.
"I remain, my dear Jane, yours affectionately,
THOMAS MORSE."
The correspondence went on, and it was now neces-
sary to call their attention to a very serious feature
of the case. While this tender c'Trespondence was
going on this gentleman thought it better to have
a second string to his bbw, and he made the ac-
quaintance of a young lady named Wells, who was
a barmaid, and who had gone to live with Mrs
"Sandell, who kept a public-house in the Borough.
He paid Miss Wells the most devoted attention; and
he, in fact, divided his time between her and
Miss Appleton. But in the course of her acquaint-
ance with Miss Wells he was introduced to her
mistress, Mrs: Sandell, and one occasion, on. going,
into her cellar to mix her beer and gin, he made
love to Mrs. Sandell, and after some months she
had the honour of becoming Mrs. Morse. He was
makin love to all three at the same time—Miss
Appleton, Miss Wells, and Mrs. Sandell—but, as
usual on these occasions, 'the widow carried the day.
(A laugh.) The' plaintiff was, of course, utterly
ignorant of these proceedings„,but.„ unhappily for
the defendant, his otvn barmaid `seemed to resent
his conduct, and she disclosed the fatal secret, that
while Miss Wells *as visiting him he was terribly
afraid lest the widow should drop in to supper. In
September or October, he told her that the widow
wws to I:exortie Mrs. dorse, and that without any
remorse on his part. His barmaid expressed great
surprise, and he said, " I have found out that the
widow has a deal more money than Miss Apple-
ton," that young lady's fortune being 1,000/.
Under these circumstances, there was no alternative
but to bring this action. Of comae, Clore were
many laughable incidents in cases of this kind, but
though they might be moved to laughter, he
trusted that they would bear in mind the serious
injury that had been inflicted on .the plaintiff.
Mrs. Sarah Forrester—On Good Friday last I
and my husband proposed to go to the Crystal
Palace, and told Mr. Morse so. He said—" If
your sister (the plaintif;) goes, I will make one of
the party." We all went to the Palace, and aft, r
that the defendant fr.tquently visited-the plaintiff at
my house. He paid, attentions to my sister. He
had seen her frequently before, and. he asked me to
make an appointment for him. He said it was his
wish to be introduced to my sister, to become her
husband, and I introduced him on that footing.
After that I had conversations with the defendant
in reference to his approaching marriage. About
June last he. produce 1 to me a wedding-ring. It
was put into my hand to look at, and [ said I hoped
my sister would not regret wearing it. He said
—"lf I did not think of getting a good wife,, I
would go and jump into the names." (Laughter.)
On another occasion we were talking about getting
married, and I said, you are not like a giddy young
man ; perhaps you will be married quietly.
The Lord Chief Justice—What is his age?
Witness _About 45, I should say. He said,
" Quite right." He paid his attentions to my
sister down to October or November last. He
visited my sister at my house at times,. and I fre-
quently accompanied her to his house. In October
or November I heard. of his marriage with another
lady.
To the Lord Chief Justice—He did not visit so
frequently at the latter part of the time. He made
excuses. He said he had a lawsuit on hand, which
prevented him coming. He never said he did not
intend to marry my sister.

-
Miss Jaw Carr—ln the early part of last year
I was living as barmaid with the defendant. He
keeps a public-house, No. 62, Bun.hill-row, St.
Luke's. About Easter he said he had some
friends coming to tea, and Miss Appleton and Mr.
and Mrs. Forrester came. About a month of er
he showed me a ring, and told me that it was a
wedding ring, and ho intended to be married to
Miss Appleton. About two months after wards he
viaited Mr. and Mrs. Neale at Putney, and on that
occasion he told me he was going to be married to
Miss Appleton. He gave me directions on the fol-
lowing morning to measure the room for a new
carpet, and asked the to tell him what furniture
vv,is required, as Mrs. Morse was coming home.
About midsummer he mentioned Miss Wells to
me. He said he had commenced a correspondence
with Miss Wells, who was then living as
barmaid at Mr. Thornett's, the Cloth-
workers' Arms, Arlington-street, Islington. He
said she had 5001. Mr. Thornett got married soon
afterwards and Miss Wells left. The defendant
mentioned to me that he had been to see Miss Was
at her new place, Mrs. Sandell', and that Mrs.
Sandell had asked him to go into the cellar to make
up her gin and beer, which he did, leaving a man
named Good to" play the amiable to Miss Weals
during his absence. (Laughter.) He always gave
