him. This was in the October before the child was
born. Mrs. Morris was then enceinte, and. Mr.
Morris must have perceived it.
Mary Evans said—l lived in the service of my
husband's father, and as I was coming home from a
mill, a heifer which lay in the road got up and ran
at mel The heifer wounded me in the face. It'
was. about Lady-day, but the year I don't remem-
ber; I was attended for this hurt by Dr. Jones ;
while I was staying at home for this accident,
went to Mrs. Morris's while my Mother went to
Miss Gwynne's, who was removing her housekeep-;
ing. The morning after I went there I was wash-
ing the tea-things, when Mr. Morris tapped at the
door; I let him in, and Mrs. Morris hearing the rap
at the door, came in from the 'garden, and met Mr.
Morris in the passage. They met, shook hands, and -,
kissed in the passage; they parted, and there being, :
two parlours, Mr. Morris went into one of the.par-
lours and Mrs. Morris went into the other; but in a.,-;
very short time Mrs. Morris went into theparloin.
where Mr. Morris was ; they were there together an
hour or more, and then they rang for some cold meat ;
I took them the refreshment, and they sent me for
some porter ; I left them together, and they remain-,
ed so till noon, and then they went in a direction to-
wards Mrs. Lloyd's, of Gwrddllwydd ; Mrs. Morris
said she was going to Gwrddllwydd, to dine; I saw
no more of them that night, and Mrs. Morris did
not return till next day, when Mr. Morris accom-
panied her home;
_I married in the course of the
same year, and in that year I carrled a letter to Mr.
Morris, at Argoed, and brought an answer back;,.
the following winter Mrs. Morris was enceinte.
Cross-examined.—l have always lived in Live' -<
pool. I let lodgings, but not to young women ;
have generally about half is dozen lodgers—they ,
sometimes stay a day, and sometimes a week. I
don't let lodgings for two or three hours only----I
never heard of such a thing. I don't keep an hotel ;
a man and his wife sometimes lodge at my house,
but I am not so strict as to ask for their marriage
certificate. .When I carne away a man and his wife
lodged on the first floor, and a younc, man on the
second. I have no daughters at home.c I never
t' said that, if Austin got it, I should have 601. for
life ; neither' to Mr. nor Mrs. Payne ; but Mrs.
Payne said that I was a great fool if I did not get
it ; and when I was summoned to go to London, to
give evidence, Mrs. Payne said she would not go to
London, or any where, unless she was to have so
-• much a year to live upon. I know the plaintiff—l
never called him Austin, and never heard any one
else call him so, except Mr. Davies and his family.
I don't believe I ever said that Mrs. Morris had a
child by Austin. I never said to Mary Jones, of
Oswestry, that, if the plaintiffgained the trial, I was
to have 601. a-year for life, and 2001. besides. •

Re-examined--Before I went to London, to sec
my mother, Mr. Nicholas Jones, Mr. Davies's
steward, gave Me .5/. to pay my expences. '
The marriage register of Mrs. Anne Evans was,
put in,*to show that she was married in the year
1792.

Mrs, Lloyd, a very fine-looking old lady, said—l
am not quite eighty-five; my christian name is Eli-
zabeth. I remember r. and Mrs. Morris. The
latter lived at Llanfair. I lived at Gl,vrddllwydd, which
is about a mile from Llainfair. I used to visit Mrs. M.
very often, and Mrs. Morris used to come to my
house. Mr. Morris, as I remember, came only once ;
he came with Mrs. Morris after dinner—they came
on foot. I know Mrs. Davies, but she was not with
them then. Mr. and Mrs. Morris passed the night
at my house; they left next morning, after breakfast.
I don't know to the contrary of, their sleeping toge.
ther. When Mr. Morris came down in the morning,
I said I was very glad to see them so agreeable to-
gether ; and he said he was very glad too, or some-
thing to that effect. Mrs. Morris was not down
stairs at this time. They went away together.
This being the case for the plaintiff, Mr. TAUNTON
asked as it was near eight o'clock, that he might
address the Jury for the defendant to-morrow.
Mr. Baron VAUGIIAN—Let the Court be adjourned
to eight o'clock to-morrow morning.

The present Home Circuit has been the best'
for the lawyers which has occurred for several
years, there having been already 111 causes
tried. In some years there have trot been more,
than 27 or 28 altogether, although a few years
ago 150 causes were tried in one Circuit.—

It has been remarked that there has been more
property destroyed by fire, within half a mile of
the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, than any
other given spot in the whole metropolis.
DREADFUL FlRE.—Between one and twol
o'clock yesterday morning, a very alarming fire
broke out upon ,the premises of Mr. Jackson,
corn-dealer, Rotherhithe-lane, which, in a few
minutes, spread throughout the premises, and
before any adequate means could be used to
check. its progress, burnt the house down to
'the ground, and damaged some premises in the
rear. No accident to life occurred.
IMBER, AUG. 10.—A dreadful conflagration •
occurred hen psterday, which at one time
threatened destruction to the whole of the town.
About half-past two o'clock, p.m., an alarm of
" Fire" was raised, the premises of W. Tinker,
Esq. an opulent farmer, being discovered to be
enveloped in one entire blaze. Nothing could
exceed the awfulness and grandeur of the sight ;
'all the out-houses, barns, stables, wheat, straw,
hay-stacks, &c. blazing to such an immense
height, as to be distinctly seen several miles
distant, which brought immense.numbers of per-
sons to the spot. The devouring element soon
communicated to the premises of Mr. Millard,
and also a part of Mr. Wentworth's farm, where
one large hay-rick was destroyed.—Bath and
Cheltenhanz Chronicle.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--A bricklayer's la-
bourer we understand, of the name of Karmoddy
while going up a ladder at Islington, was preci-
pitated from nearly the top of the house, and fell
upon the railings in front, The violence with
which his body fell broke four of the spikes, one
of which stuck through his side, and remained
in his body until the following day, when he
expired in the most excruciating agony.
The following anecdote has been communi-
cated to us from good authority. During the!
Chancellorship of Lord 14oughborough, about
thirty years ago, his Lordship directed a gentle-
man, holding an official situation, to convey per-
sonally a letter to a Mr. Canning, of. whom all
which was known was that he resided at one of
the Inns of Court. The bearer commenced his
search, and after some time found Mr. Canning
at chambers in Paper-buildings, Temple. The
object of the letter was to convey an offer of the
post of Under Secretary of State, and the person
to whom it was addressed was the late Premier.

A few days since a melancholy accident oc-
curred at S.outhyfpld. Several of the family.ol
the Rev. H. S. Trimmer were on the Pier with
some friends, when a favourite dog was taken by
the current on the sand-bank, which at low waterl
extends` some way into the sea. Mr. Watson, a
young gentlenian of about seventeen years of
age, one of the party, immediately exclaimed,
" I will go and bring him out ;" and had no
sooner uttered the words than he sprang forward,
quite unconscious of his danger. The sand, al-
though nearly dry, was insufficient to support his
weight, and he was in a moment precipitated into
the deep, never to rise again from thence.—
