BREACH OF PROMISE.

An instructive case has just been heard in the
Court of Common Pleas, •in which a widow of 40
claimed £3OO damages from a man whom his counsel
stated to be 75 years of age, and paralysed for thirty
years. The promise of marriage was fairly proved,
and the woman obtained her damages. It is probable
that this uxorious old man could afford to pay them, and
deserved to pay them for his folly. It is also
probable that the woman would, from her position,
find the money very useful. Whether she deserved
such a solatium is another matter. It was stated
that the defendant could not dress or undress him-
self ;• and such a poor wreck she was ready to swear
she would love and cherish as her husband. These
breach-of-promise actions are too often the resort of
adventuresses, and seldom are the medium of afford-
ing compensation to those who have the most right
to claim it, but whose modesty prompts them to let
" concealment feed on their damask cheek."
