COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 18.

CRIM. CON.--CORNU V. MILLS.
Mr. ADOLPHUS applied for a rule to sIIOW cause
why the verdict in this case should not be set aside,
on account of excessive damages.
Lord TENTERDEN—What is the plaintiff's name'?
Mr. AnoLmius—Col•nu, my Lord; it was an ac-
tion for (Tint. con.—(This created much laughter is
Court.) Mr. Adolphus proceeded to say that there
was only one witness called at the trial, which was
at Hertford, before Chief Justice Tyndal; that wit"
ness was a female, who saw the parties on two oc-
casions in such a situation as left no doubt of the
offence having been committed. There was no evi•
dente of seduction, or the loss of society by the
husband, yet the Jury gave 100/. damages.
Lora TENTERDEN—The damages were little
enough for a complaint of that kind.--Rule refused.
Mr. Anounus then applied to the Court to ex-
tend the recognizances of Sir Richard Birnie for
fortnight, as he was unwell, and unable to attend to
receive judgment, for a conviction on an indictment.
Lord TENTERDEN--Let the ease stand over.
The Court sat until six o'clock.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 19.

WILLIS V. BARNARD.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, at
present a judge in Demerara, but formerly a judge
in Upper Canada, against the defendant, Captain
Barnard, for criminal conversation with Lady Mary
Willis, the plaintiff's wife. The cause was tried
at the last Middlesex sittings before Lord Chief
Justice Tindal, when it appeared that in consequence
of some misunderstanding between the plaintiff and
the Governor, the former was suspended from his
office, and therefore found it necessary to come
over to England to lay his case before the Privy
Council. He left Lady Mary and his sister in Ca-
nada, and took his mother home with him; but
finding that, contrary to expectation, he was not to
return to Canada, he wrote for his wife and sister,
who accordingly set out for Quebec on their return
to this country. In the meantime, Lady Mary had
become acquainted with Captain Barnard at York.
town, and having fallen in with him on her journey
to Quebec, she ultimately eloped with him to Eng-
land, where they lived together as man and wife.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.--
Damages 1,000/.

Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE now moved for a rule call-
ing on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict
should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the
ground that a letter, addressed by Lady Mary to the
plaintiff's brother, is which she offered to assign her
life interest in a sum of 5,0001. for the payment of
her husband's debts, had been improperly received
in evidence.

The COURT granted a rule to show cause.

CIRCUIT COURT, AYR, APRIL 7.

The first case to-day, and the last of the criminal
cases, was that of Robert Harvey, teacher in Beith,
on a charge of seducing and corrupting the minds of
youth. The case, for obvious reasons, was con-
ducted with shut doors. The trial lasted about six
hours, and the guilt of the prisoner was abundantly
proved. The Jury accordingly found him guilty.
The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, ad-
dressed the prisoner in the most forcible manner on
the atrocity and shamefulness of his crime. Con-
sidering him as a teacher, his crime became the
more heinous, as, instead of being watchful over the
morals of those committed to his charge, which
was his most bounden duty, he had practised the
very reverse, by making impurity familiar to them.
There were, he said, only two similar cases on re-
cord, one of which was punished with transporta-
tion for life and scourging of the body, the other
was transportation for life without scourging. He
was not inclined to follow the more severe one; but
he would be altogether unmindful of his duty to his
country and to the rising generation, were he t•
award any thing short of transportation for life. The
prisoner was accordingly sentenced to be transported
beyond seas for the whole period of his natural life.
The prisoner has a wife and six children.—Scotch
Paper.
