SINGULAR CASE OF AFFILIATION.

(From the Brighton Gazette.)

Yesterday, at the Borough Bench, before A.
Bigge, W. Furner, D. M. Folkard, and Cardy
Burrows, Esqrs., the case of "Thatcher v. D'Agui-
kr, an atlil ation case in high life, was brought

Mr. Hutchinson, solicitor, of London, appeared
for tne complainant ; and Mr. Roupeil, barrister,
fur the defendant.

Colonel D'Aguilar is a gentleman, residing at
Bruton-street, Berkeley-square ; and Mrs. Thatcher
is a widow lady, now stopping at the Old Ship, but
previously residing in Wyndham-street.
Mr. Hutchinson was opening the case, when he
was stopped by Mr. Roupell, who requested that
proof be given of the service of the summons.
Mr. Hutchinson contended that Mr. Roupell's
appearance for the defendant was a sufficient proof
of the service of the summons, and then proceeded
to sate that his client was the widow of an officer.
In 1852-43 she formed an acquaintance with Colo-
nel D'Agirlar, which resul'ei an a courtship and
an engagement, but the colonel becoming to•i inti-
mate, the complainant was delivered a a child.
Up to the end of 1855 the colonel continued an
allowance to his client of 301. a year, but which
had since cea'e 1; and an action fur tre.ich of pro-
mise of marriage had been com•nenced against him.
He would be enab/ed to prove that money had been
paid during that time.
Mr. Hutchinson then called the complainant,
but Mr. Roupell objecting to the case being gone
into until proof of delivery of summons was given.
Mr. Hutchinson then called

George Cadmore, clerk to Mrs. Thatcher's soli-
citor who deposed that.he had been to the colonel's
redenee in Bruton-street on several occa.ions,
and had there left documents which had afterwards
been attended to- by his solicitors, Mt-ssrs. Palmer
and Co., of Bedford-row. On the 18th of Apra be
left a duplicate summons to the present complaint,
which he gave to a servant whom he bad always
seen before. He afterwards saw Messrs. Palmer,
who consented to receive the summons as a notice
to produce. Mr. Palmer said it would leattended
to, and he should appear by counsel to-day.
Mr. Roupell thereon admitted service of the
summons, but submitted that it was faulty.
Colonel D'Aguilar had received a summons, and
thought proper to appear before the beech in his
(Mr. R.'s) person. The act stated that application
for a summons should be made by the mother, and
that she should at that time prove payment of
money withitt twelve months subsequent to the
birth of the.child, and until this was done in due
form the application must fall. The case put for-
ward was a simple summons, but in accord ince
with the Act of Parliament that summons shou'd
rest on information given at the time of applic
If a woman applied shortly after the birth, of a child
it was sufficient for her to make allegations as t)
the father, but when it was after a year the
woman must make a statement as to delivery
of the chill, and proof must also be given of
the payment of money, which, if not then given,
the application must fall. It WAS not only necessary
to prove that the summons had been served, but
in that summons shou'd be incorporat d tl-e appli-
cat'on made, and the statement of the woman when
she made appl cation for the summons. He furher
contended th it not only must this applicati )11 be
made, but it must aIS) he taken clown in writing.
Mr. Hutchinsoe, in reply, maintained that the
form of summons used, being that ad ipt-cl all over
the c3untry, was sufficient, and that the learned
counsel appearing fat the defendant was proof of
hie accepting service.
Mr. Furn• r—The summors acts forth that money
was paid within 12 mouths of the birth of the child,
but it does not state that proof was given of thin.
Mr. Hutchison argued that there was nothing on
the face of the summons calculated to m'slead.•
Mr. Roupell, after asking the bench if there was
a necessity for a reply, or whether they did not
think the summons should be as once dismissed,
submitted that there were car tarn preliminary pro-
ceedings which mu-t be adopted in a proper form
before be could proceed. On behalf of Colonel
D'Aguilar he, objected to the proceedings as infor-
mal ; and until all due forms had been carried out,
he was not bound to answer the summons.

After a very long del beiation of the magistrates,'
Mr. Biggs slid the summons was informal, and
they must therefore dismiss it.
Mr. Roupell applied for costs.
Mr. Hutchinson—This is not our proceeling,
and we have nothing to do with costs.
Mr. Biggs declinel to allow cost..
An applicati,n was then made for another sum-
mons, which was immediately granted, and made
returnable on Wednesday, May 13.
