honour too great to be borne, and to which no man
ought to submit. In form he asked them for damages
for the seduction of his wife, but he would at the onset
inform the jury that damages were not so much an object
as that he might be enabled to found an application to
the Legislature upon their verdict, to dissolve a con
flexion which he felt, after what had occurred, could
only henceforward be a source of misery and disgrace;
and that the friends of the plaintiff would be satisfied
that it was not a frivolous charge, and that he was well
entitled to the relief he sought for. The Learned
Counsel said he should now inform the jury of the cir-
cumstances under which the action was brought
against the defendant. The plaintiff had carried on,
with his brother, a very extensive business, as a
wine-merchant and grocer, in the town of Abing-
don, in Berkshire ; and he lived in that town in a posi-
tion of the highest respectability. At the time of the
marriage with his present wife he was about forty-eight
years old, and a widower, his first wife having died
about ten years ago. He admitted that in his con-
nexion with the lady now in question he had evinced
some little indiscretion, but this could not, in any
way, be an excuse for the conduct of the defendant.
Three years ago the plaintiff became acquainted
with the lady whom he now had the misfortune
to call his wife. She was the widow of a
small tradesman at Birmingham, and her position in
society was certainly not equal to that of the plaintiff.
He, however, was struck with her beauty and manners,
and after a short courtship, he proposed himself as her
husband, and was accepted. He was aware that the
connexion would not be a satisfactory one to his friends,
and the marriage was therefore solemnised in private, at
All Souls' Church, Marylcbone, no one being
present hut the clerk, and a young woman, a
stranger to both parties, who were requested to for-
mally witness the marriage. After it had taken place the
plaintiff and his wife proceeded to Hampshire ; and in
one short month, the film fell from the plaintiff's eyes,
and he found that he had been seduced by the beauty
and accomplishments of the lady to enter into a con-
nexion, which it was impossible, from the violent temper
of the lady, could produce happiness. At this time there
was not the slightest imputation upon her chastity, but
Mr. King found that his wife had such a violent temper,
that it was impossible for him to live with her. He was,
however, still attached to her, and hoping that in
time he might be able to renew the connexion, a
deed of separation was drawn up, in which he Agreed
to allow his wife 501. per annum, but which deed at
the same time also contained a proviso, referring to the
probability of their being together again, in which case
the annuity was to cease. After the separation, the
plaintiff returned to Abingdon and resumed the business
which he had given up on his marriage taking place,
and very soon afterwards he received information
which induced him to believe that the conduct of his
wife was not what it ought to be, and that an occur-
rence had taken place which would prevent him from
ever again thinking of living with her, or treating her
as his wife. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to
say, that after Mr. King had returned to Abingdon, his
wife went to live in Providence-row, New Kent-road,
near which place the defendant carried on the busi-
ness of a cigar dealer, and he had also a coachmaking
establishment in the Westminster-road. He should
show that at this period they were intimate, but there
was no proof of any criminality. However, after this
the intimacy increased, and he apprehended there
would be very little doubt, after the evidence he should
lay before them, that criminal intercourse did
eventually take place between the wife of the
plaintiff and the defendant, who, he should inform them,
was a married man and had a family. He should show
them that the defendant had engaged a public-house,
called the Shades, near the Corn Exchange for the
plaintiff's wife, whom he represented to be a widow,
and acts of gross indecency would be proved to
have taken place at that house, which could leave
no doubt of the guilt of the parties. He should be
also able to prove similar proceedings in other places,
and he felt satisfied the jury would say that the
plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. The next ques-
tion would be that of the amount of damages, and al-
though he admitted it was not a case calling for heavy
damages, yet he did expect substantial damages from
the defendant, who, there could be no doubt, had in-
flicted grievous injury upon the plaintiff. Witnesses were
called who fully confirmed the statement of Counsel.
Mr. PLATT then addressed the jury, and observed that
it was now his duty to make some observations to them
on behalf of the defendant, who, he must say, was placed
in that position under very extraordinary circumstances.
His Learned Friend, in his address to them, evidently
felt that he was in a difficult position, and that he could
not hope to raise much sympathy for his client, and it
was pretty clear that the case would not admit of it.
Did the jury ever hear of such an extraordinary mar-
riage as the one that had been spoken to? The plain-
tiff first induced his wife to consent to a private mar-
riage, and then took her to the church, and had the
marriage solemnised in the presence of the clerk and
a woman, both of whom were perfect strangers to
them ; and then, almost the very next fact in
the case, was the deed of separation, about a month after-
wards. Why did not the plaintiff take his wife home to
his own house, and treat her as his wife ? What expla-
nation had been given for his not doing so ? In general,
in cases of this description, some evidence was given of
the manner in which the parties had lived together,
but here all was a blank, and the jury were left to form
their own conclusions upon the subject ; and he submit-
ted that, for all that appeared to the contrary in the
case, the marriage had never been consummated. The
object of the present proceeding was evidently to
enable the plaintiff to get rid of his wife,
and to cast her upon the world without any resources,
after having solemnly made her his wife. The Learned
Counsel went on to say that it was amusing to see the
terms of the declaration which charged the defendant
with seducing the wife of the plaintiff, and depriving
him of the comfort, society, and assistance of his wife,
but, in point of fact, he had never received any of
these enjoyments. He had certainly married her,
but he did not take her home, or introduce her to his
friends, or treat her as a wife ; and after a month
had elapsed, and his passion was probably gratified,
he turned her off with a miserable pittance of 501.
a year, which he must have well known, was inadequate
to her support. The plaintiff was a man forty-eight
years old, and that was surely a time of life when• a
man knew what he was about. He had married
the lady deliberately, and now he sought to get
rid of her, for that was clearly the only object of the
present action. He turned her from him with a
miserable pittance of 501.—not enough for her support,
without any protector, and he had then no doubt caused
her to be watched, in order to get up a case against
her. He submitted that there was no evidence of
adultery . having been committed, and be said
that the defendant was not proved to have done

more than almost any other man would for an un-
protected woman. If the jury should, however, think
that there was sufficient evidence to justify them in
finding a 7trdiet for the plaintiff, he was quite sure that,
under the circtime>synees, they would consider the lowest
coin of the realm a suffieicnt compensation for the injury
he had received.

Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up,
The jury, after a short deliberation, found for the
plaintiff—Daw.ages, One Shilling.

Friday.
The business of this assize is nearly concluded. The
special jury causes are nearly all fried, and 'there are
only a few petty jury cases remaining to be disposed of.
Mr. Baron Parke was occupied during nearly the whole
of the day in trying a right of way case, the details of
which were of no public interest.
CROW;, SIDE.— (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.)

George Plummer, aged 50, was indicted, on Thursday,
for the manslaughter of his wife, by having neglected to
provide for her support, and causing her to be exposed
to the inclemency of the weather without proper suste-
nance. There were several counts in the indictment,
varying the form of the charge.
It will be recollected that the prisoner was indicted at
the Winter Assizes, 1843, but, from some cause or other,
no one attended to prosecute, and the prisoner was, con-
sequently, discharged by proclamation. A bill was sub-
quently preferred against him, and lie was now brought
up to take his trial.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution. The pri-
sener-had no counsel.

Mr. BonKix, in stating the case to the jury, ex-
plained that by law a husband was bound to support and
maintain his wife, and the charge against the prisoner
was, that he had neglected to do so, and that, by means
of that neglect, and the refusal of the prisoner to receive
his wife at a time when she was in a destitute and almost
dying state, he had caused her death, and was thus amen-
able to the present charge. The Learned Counsel went
on to say that the prisoner had filled the situation of
gardener to a nobleman in the neighbourhood of Sidcup,
and had been separated from his wife for some time
before her death, and had made her an allowance of half-
a-crown a week. She became, however, in a most des-
titute and miserable condition, and was found by a po-
liceman late at night, to whom she stated that
she had no home to go to. He took her to the prisoner's
house, and asked him to admit her, but, with offensive
language, he refused to do so, and the deceased very
shortly afterwards died, and from the medical testimony
there could be no doubt that her death was occasioned
by her state of destitution and want of nourishment.
The Learned Counsel went on to state that it would ap-
pear that shortly before the death of the deceased, a me-
dical gentleman, who would be called before the jury,
had given her a letter to take to the relieving officer
of the district requiring him to give the deceased relief,
but it would appear no attention was paid to the request.
He (the Learned Counsel) had no hesitation in saying
that if this letter had been received by the relieving
officer, he had grossly neglected his duty in not attending
to it. Every destitute person was entitled to relief, and
if any relieving officer, under such circumstances, neg-
lected to perform the duty that devolved upon him,
there was very little doubt that he would be liable to have
a charge of a similar nature to the present preferred
against him. The Learned Counsel then called the fol-
lowing witnesses
Hannah Riley deposed that she lived at Foot's Cray,
and knew the prisoner and the deceased, his wife. The
deceased died on the 23d November, 1843, and on the
Sunday before her death she had asked witness to give
her a lodging fur the night. She remained in witness's
'house three or four days, and during that time she ap-
peared to be very ill.
Thomas Mumford, an illegitimate child of the de-
ceased, previous to her marriage with the prisoner, de-
posed that he saw his mother on the 19th of November,
when she appeared very ill, and complained of great
pain. Prisoner and his mother had not lived together
fur some time before this, and he used to allow her
half-a-crown a-week, which she generally received on
Sunday, and he believed she did so on the week previous
to her death.
Cross- examined by the prisoner—Witness was not
aware of the reason of their being apart.
Mary Anne Mumford, wife of the last witness, spoke '
to the miserable state of the deceased, a short time pre-
vious to her death. She also proved that the prisoner
and his wife had been separated for four years, and that.
he u-,ed to allow her half-a-crown a week.

Mr. T. Pritchard, surgeon, of Sidcup, deposed that he
knew the deceased, and had noticed her particularly for
several days before her death. On the 21st of November,
two days before her death, she came to his surgery, and,
at that time she appeared to be in a dying state, and he
told her that she was not in a condition to be about,
and, indeed, he considered that she was hardly fit to go
away from his surgery. He gave her a letter to the re-
lieving officer of the district, in which he described her
condition, and requested him to relieve her. Shortly
afterwards he heard she was dead, and, •by direction of
the Coroner, he made a post marten: examination of the
deceased. He found the stomach and bowels perfectly
empty, the liver was diseased, and there was also an ex-
tensive ulceration of the lower part of the body.
By the CoußT—Witness had no doubt the death of
the deceased was accelerated by the want of proper
nourishment and clothing.
William Earl, a police-constable stationed at Sideup,
deposed that, on the Wednesday previous to the death
of the deceased, he saw her, and had some conversation
with her, during which she complained of the conduct
of her husband. She appeared very ill at this time,
and he persuaded her to go to the relieving-officer.
He saw her again at eleven o'clock at night, and she
was then very wet, and in a miserable state. She
went towards the house where the prisoner
lodged, and witness heard her ask him to let
her in. Witness told the prisoner, who was at the win-
dow, that his wife was in a miserable state, and asked
him to let her in. The prisoner replied that he had no
lodging for her. Witness told him that he was her
husband, and ought to provide for her ; to which the
prisoner replied that she was a nasty —, and he should
not get up, or trouble himself about her, and he then
shut down the window. After this, witness took the
deceased to the house of the prisoner's father, who also
refused to receive her ; and he then offered to give her
a shelter in the station-house, but the deceased would
not accept it, and walked away. About three o'clock the
next morning he found her in an out-house, and she was
then wet through, and very ill. Witness got some beer
for her, which she drank, and he did not see her any
more alive. _ _ _

Sarah Coomber deposed that at the time in question her
husband kept the Black Horse public house at Sidcup.
On the Thursday before the death of the deceased she
came to witness's house and wished for a lodging. She
appeared to be very ill, and in a most destitute condition.
The prisoner was in the house at the time, and witness
told him the state of his wife, when he replied that she
was no wife of his, and had not been for many years.
She allowed the deceased to remain in the house during
the uight, and she was put to bed. The next morning
she was insensible and died shortly afterwards.
A servant in the employ of Mrs. Coomber proved that
she accompanied the deceased to her bed-room, and she
appeared so weak as to be hardly able to stand.
Another witness deposed that a day or two before the
death of the deceased she came to her house, and, seeing
her miserable condition, she called to the prisoner, who
was passing at the'tima, and asked him to take her away,
when he replied, " Turn her out, I won't have her."
Mr. Pritchard was re-called, and in answer to ques-
tions put to him, he said, that the deceased would no
doubt have lived for some time if proper care had been
taken of her. Diarrhoea was the immediate cause of
death, and he was of opinion, that the death was hastened
by her exposure to the weather on the Wednesday
night.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he and the deceased
had mutually agreed to separate, and he allowed her half-
a-crown a week, which was all he could afford. She had
come to him several times in a most filthy condition, and
it was impossible he could live with her.
Mr. Baron GURNEY then addressed the jury, and said
there could be no doubt that in law a husband was bound
to provide for and support his wife, and if, by neglecting
to do so, he caused her death, he would subject him-
self to a charge of manslaughter. The present case,
however, presented some peculiar features. It appeared
that the parties had agreed to separate, and that the pri-
soner undertook to make his wife an allowance of halt-a•
crown a week, and there did not appear to be any proof
that at the time the application was made to the pin.-
soner to admit his wife into his house on the night when
the exposure to the weather was said to have caused her
death, that he was at all aware she was in a dying con-
dition. The Learned Judge then went through the evi-
dence, and left the case in the hands of the Jury.
After a short deliberation they returned a verdict of—
Not Guilty.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, July 25.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTSIAN. )
Wilmot Manning, a girl between fourteen and fifteen years
of age, was indicted for setting fire to a dwelling-house, some
person being therein, on the 10th of May last.
Mr. Cornish conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Rowe de-
fended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was apprenticed by the
parish to the prosecutor, who was a small farmer, residing in
the county of Devon. On the morning of the 10th of May
the prosecutor went out, leaving the prisoner and Frances
Conybeare in his house. The latter was sitting at work in
the kitchen, about eleven in the morning. She smelt fire, and
asked the prisoner, who was in and out about her work, what
it was. The prisoner replied that she did not know. She
went out and soon returned ; then said she had burnt her
apron, and that the pig-house was on fire. The witness ran
out and saw the pig-house in flames, which communicated to
the dwelling-house, and all the premises were burnt down.
The prisoner had afterwards told her master that she had set
a rag on fire and taken it out in her apron, and had then
blown it up and put it in a bundle of furze ;near the pig-
house. The prisoner had told another person that she in-
tended to injure no one but her master.
Mr. RowE having addressed the jury for the prisoner,
The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury acquitted
the prisoner.
Her father begged to be allowed to take her home at once.
