LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 22.
GILES 1:. PRITCHETT.
In this action the plaintiff sought to recover da-
mages against the defendant for criminal conversation
with the plaintiff's wife.
This was certainly one of the most extraordinary
cases which ever came into court, and the defence on
the record was alißost as singular as the case ; for we
cannot call to mind having seen a plea like the
present. The defendant first denied the allegation of
the plaintiff, by the plea of not guilty, and secondly,
alleged that the lady in question was not the plain-
tiff's wife. '
Mr. Hu:annul-, Q.C. (with w"°l3l was Mr. Lush),
is opening
the case, said that in an action like the
present, he had not to appeal to the sympathies of
the jury to consider the outraged feelings of a hus-
band. He could not profess that they had been out-
raged, for this action was, in fact, brought in conse-
quence of there being issue by the defendant and
plaintiff's wife, who might at some future period be
made chargeable to him. The circumstances• of the
case were these :—The plaintiff, at the time of his
marriage with his present wife, then Mary Eliza
Berry,
was employed in the silk and ribbon shop of
Messrs. Leaf. lie established hsintoroseelf
rinesstohne, same
line of btisiness soon after his marriage, but had, un-
happily, been very
aunmsuiblcdocerernssefuthlei.rmm,t:hdoe plain-
iffrences,
w children,
dis-
putes,t
iffhicha,ndaolrthhiosutgowhifusehao had bad,
for
rendered it expedient that they should part. The
lady went to live with her parents, who fomented the
quarrel by all the means in their power, obstructed
the plaintiff in seeing his wife, and probably induced
her to take the step which had actually been taken—
of proceeding against him in the Consistory Court to
procure a divorce, which suit ended in the Court
giving judgment for a separation a mensa et thoro.
It was clear that this was a judgment merely of sepa.,
ration, and did not in English law amount to a
divorce, so as to enable either party to marry again
during the life of the other ; and further, it did not
free the plaintiff from the liability of maintaining any
issue she might have, even by another, while both he
and his wife were in the same country, for it was the
rule of law in such a case that be was to be held as
the father, who was in fact or in law the husband.
The plaintiff's wife having, subsequently to the sen-
tence, contracted an intimacy with the defendant, and
had two children by him, the plaintiff felt bound and
entitled to come before a jury to seek compensation
for the injury inflicted upon him. Yet he (Mr.
Humphrey) must admit that the action was, in fact,
brought, not so much for damages, as to enable the
plaintiff to free himself from the liability which
now was or might at a future period be imposed on
him, of supporting and educating children that were
not his.
The marriage was pro-0, and also that all con-
