SHERIFFS' COURT,(THIS DAY.

BREACH OF rnomisE OF MA-RRIAGE.-LACY V. FENVVICK.
This morning at the sitting of the Court considerable in-
terest was created, from its being known that the case of
" Lacy r. Fenwick," for a breach of promise of marriage,
would be tried. The Court was crowded by fashionably-
dressed persons of either sex; and a special jury, of whom
Valentine Knight, Esq , was chosen foreman, was summoned,
and at ten o'clock precisely took their seats. Mr. Thesiger,
Queen's Counsel, with Mr. Peacock, for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Sergeant Shee with Mr. Roupell, for the defendant, entered
immediately after the jury, and were some minutes in earnest
consultatioue, The plaintiff, Miss Charlotte Lacy, is, it ap •
pears, a yonqg lady possessing considerable personal attrac-
tions, and daughter of Colonel Lacy, of the Royal Artillery,
Woolwich, arid the defendant, William John Fenwick, is a
gentleman of fortune, residing at Hayling Park, Croydon.
promised to marry the plaintiff, and had failed to
fhe pleadings stated, that on the 31st of January, 1838, the
defendant
perform his promise up to the 21st of December, 1843,
when he was requested, to fulfil it, and refused to do so.
The damages were laid in the declaration at 5,000/., and
the defendant, having suffered judgment to go by default,
the present jury were specially impannelled, under a writ
of inquiry, to assess the damages which the plaintiff was
entitled to receive of the defendant The venue was
originally laid in Surrey ; but, in consequence of the high
standing of the defendant in that county, Mr. Justice Wil-
liams made anlirder removing it to Middlesex, on the sth of
Mirth last After the jury were sworn, Mr. Thesiger rose,
and addressing the Learned Under-Sheriff, said he was happy
to relieve the jury from further attendance, as his friend Mr.
Serjeant Shee and himself had agreed between themselves to
take a verdict for the plaintiff for 1,0001. This announce-
ment gave evident disappointment to the fashionables in
attendance, who doubtlessly anticipated some disclosures of
an interesting character.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
