SEDUCTIoN.-7-AYTos V. 'WALKER.
This was an action hi ouglit by Mr. John Ayton
against the defendant, for the loss of services, tie.
of his daughter, occasioned by seduction.
Mr. :VIAttrYAT, on the part of the plaintiff, ad-
dressed the Jury- He stated, that the plaintiff
WM, the eldest unmarried of five daughters
.of a
respectable farmer, residing at Tollesintry-hall,
in this county : the defeudant
,was the only Soli
of 'a farmer living in the neighbonrhond of the
tome place. In the. course of the year 1815,
the defendant was introdneed to the plaintiff's
daughter, and in a short. time they evinced
a partiality. towards each other, which was suc-
ceeded ,(111 the part of the defendant by addresses_
of the warmest nature, and offet lug to make her
his wife, The danghtel of the plaintiff emniutted .
to receive the constant visits of the defendant.
She listened to his protestations, and after some
time, in an 1111Kaar(leil moment, yielded to his soli-
citations, and became pregnant, and was delivered
of a child on the 23c1' of March last. ,The aggra-
varion of this case .vas rendered still more remark-
able front the circutnstauce of Miss Ayton having
been deprived' of the care of a mother, and the
defendant as it were taking advantage Of her in
her unprotected moments, and tinder the mask of
affection rohning lier.of her character, most dear
to herself and to her family. The simple ques-
tion, therefore, whiCh the Jury had to decide was,
to ivhat dattlages the plaintiff was entitled for the
violation Of his danghter's chastity, for destroying
her own peace of mind, and of rendering her in
the eyes ,nt her relatives and.friends,nu example
of ,lialui:, iro4:4li!•grace. • • , ~.

fendant cnotinued bra xisits, showing everrinark
of attention, hot after that time tuldenly Ath•
drew. The offspring of her connexion with the

self;.fiad been supported by her father, the pijn-
tiff. The ;latter was perfectly well acnouinted
vvith tie inriinirey that subsisted between her and
the tiefetsdant, as tar <is it regarded their intended
mlltringe. ‘Vitnea& did not know that the father
'of the defendant was 'await. of the transaction.
