Among' those persons who attemled the funeral
of the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND', we did not see

CIVIL SIDE.-BEFORE MR. JUSTICE PARK.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.

HALMS V. LOADER.

Mr. SHEPHERD ()pelted this case, and stated that
it was an action to recover compensation in da-
mages for a breach of promise of marriage. •
Mr. WAKEFIELD addressed the Courr rind Jury
on the part of the plaintiff, whom he representd
to be a young lady of respectable connections, and-
of considerable personal beauty and accomplish-
ments. The injury, he observed, which she bad
sustained through the conduct of the defendant,
was almost the greatest which altan could inflict
upon a woman. The defendant, who was a man
of competent fortune, became acquainted with the
plaintiff in the summer of 1815, and in a short
time secured both her heart and affections. He
was introduced to her father, who was ft farmer
o.f 4ome. consequence, and was 'received by her
family with e‘cry possible confidence and:friend-
ship. His attentions to Miss Harris were of
the most assiduous description, and to such a
length had the mutual determination to be tnarried
gone, that a day 11610 actually fixed for the wedding,
which was to take place on the same day on which
.Mr. Job's Harris, the brother of the plaintiff, was
to take the band of a young lady to whom be had
long been paying his addresses. The wedding
dress was purchased, and the bridemaid chosen.
In defiance of all these preliminaries, howe'yer,
the defendant, who was between 50 and 60 Years
.of age, abandoned his engagements ; and without
the slightest apparent Aeseited the
and Olt it`:cOolplctely out of his' power to make
