This was an action brought on Tuesday by the;
plaintiff, a carpenter, resident at Chelsea, against
the detendaar, for the seduction of the plaintiff's
daughter.
Mr. HOLT opened the pleading, and Mr. Snail-
triTT stated the case, which was briefly as fol-
lows :
The daughter of the plaintif, a very preUT
young girl, put an advertisement in a newspapers
for a situation as lady's maid. The advertisemeng
was answered in a very short time by a note, del
siring the advertiser to call' at the' house of
OliVera, near RusSell-sroare,where she would bear
of a place. Upon going to the house, she 910(
Mr. Olivera, who said his sister wished to hire •
girl resembling her, and had concluded, from the
advertisement, that the yoUng applkant %rota
suit her. . He_ desired her to call again, and 110
would let her know his -sister's determination-
She saw the defendant upon her second visit I•
.
the house, but was told, by him, it being ,his sisa
ter's intention to go abroad, he apprehended the
applicant's aversion to leave this country (for the
girl bad exprissed an unwillingness to leave be;
friends at a great distance', would prevent sts
event which he was very flesirous of wit nessiogi
in consequence of the deep interest he felt in the
girl's situation. He, however, for the purpose of
making amends for any disappointment, woila
lo6k about for a place as advantageous as till!
which his sister was -about to have supplied, 20'1,
during the interval proposed to the poor girl t•
take care of a house, of which' he was proprietor•
She consented to take upon her this charge, and.
was not at the new habitation ion:'', when Mr.
Olivera called, and told her she was by no mean:
to consider herself as precluded from looking ode
'foras more suitable place, by being then in his se'
vice. He repeated to her, that he felt gretitli
inclined to serve her, and declared, after sonic
conversation, that he would rather Steller in softie
profitable and respectable business than in service?
and would advance 2001. to her, for the porpest
of setting her up. Her expectations were rais44l
to u high pitch by those fine promises: The'4e",
fendant called again,• and was still more kind
his deelarationa of intended benefits. He took bef.
to walk with him, and conducted her to a 11600_
.which she soon found was laid out for evil-purposes'
Site expressed an anxious wish to leave it, bat he
prevailed upon her to stay by his professions of love,
and friendship, and succeeded in accomplishie‘'
her ruin. She became pregnant, and was deliver'
ed 'of a child, and had now returned to her latberl
house.
This was the account given-by the plaintiff's
daughter, who bad been seduced. It was give°
with great coolness, and it was confirmed i°
those pasts where the profession of thedetendsett
.and his offer to advance 2001. were mentioned,ldi
the evidence of her sister.
