CASK OF MR. BRAND.

A V.YIZE INTELLIGENCE.

LANCASTER, AUGUST 26.
NISI Pk Before Mr. Justice BAYLET,)
HALL V. GRUNDY. . -

ThiS in.trning the Commissioners and Jury appointed to inquire into
• low,' or Mr. Brand. ma, pursuant to adjournment. at iray's..inn
enffee.ll,use......:llr. Alderman Wood was examined. He had had oc.
ce•ion to see Mr. Brand, and had remarked nothing peculiar in him.—
t:e had not thettp,ht hint eccentric.—Several witnesses were examined.
They .poke of peculiarities and occasional violence, but did not consider
thrse am, which they had noted, proved insanity. The inquiry was
Ijlttrazd dB kutsday.

"Ir. WINGFIELD opened the pleadings, and BIL BROUGHAM
.ateil to the jury that the present action was brought by the plain-
of to recover a reasonable compensation for the injury she had suf-
-5 psi from the defendant, .lanes Grundy, by his having refused to fulfil
voinise of marriage which he had made to her, and which she
bud accepted.. The plaintiff, Anne Hall, was the daughter of one
John Hall, a respectable canal-agent, who had amassed considerable
property for a person in his humble line of life, and who had brought
up his daughter in a respectable manner. The defendant, James
Ihantly. was also a person possessed of' considerable property in
ionises, and he also drove a coach between Manchester and
Buxton, of which he was part proprietor. Whether it was love or
taterest that had induced him to pay his addresses to Anne Hall,
he (Mr. Brougham) could not tell, but the jury might infer which of
the two it was, from the fact of his having had no idea of her till he had
once accidentally asked her brother how much of their father's property
116 sister Anne would have? the answer to which question was, that she
and two other children of John Hall (who had died intestate) would all
sham alike in his property, the amount of which was 3,0001. or 1,0001.
for each child. He then made up to the plaintiff, who was far from
being romantic in her notions of love, but who being arrived at a critical
period of female celibacy, thought it much better to marry than burn,
when the opportunity offered. She listened to his tale of love, and be-
came attached to him, and taking all into consideration, she was justified
in her attachment, as the match was a very reasonable one. Subse-
quently, however, the defendant declared he had found a wife with
1,7001. and as she had more money than Ann Hall, so she had the pre-
ference with him ; the upshot of it was, therefore, that the plaintiff was
left by this good-for-little fellow, and now came before them to obtain
compensation for the injury she had sustained, as well in her situation
as in her feelings, by the conduct of Mr. James Grundy. The Jury
would probably be addressed by his learned friend next him (Mr. J.
Williams,) who packed a great deal in a very small compass. (A
laugh.) When he said so, he begged to be understood to mean, that
Ws learned friend's speeches were generally very compact, and
much to the point ; his friend would probably attempt to laugh
the case out of court by calling it a paltry action, and such like
epithets, but he ( Mr. Brougham) hoped he would nut ; be hoped
he should not hear from his learned friend any such arguments, as
that actions of this len I were out of keeping with the situation cot
the parties, and that such actions ought not to be brought by per.
sons in the middle station of life. He should be prepared to
argue that persons in that class of life have feelings to the full
as acute as those of the upper classes, and it would ill become any
one to press such an argument into his service, much more his learned
friend. The plaintiff came before them with an unimpeached cha-
racter ; she came before them in a worse condition than she had been
previously to the promise, and the breach of that promise. Shc had
arrived at that time of life which with females was a critical one, as
they were not likely subsequently to meet with many offers of mar-
riage, and her feelings had been greatly outraged. She was clearly
entitled to a verdict, for he would prove the promise of marriage
by letter, written for the defendant, who could not do that office for
himself, by another man who would be called, and the whole ques-
tion which would be left for their consideration was the amount of
damages. It was for the jury to say whether a man was to be allowed
to come forward and gain a woman's affections, and then insult and
desert her, for the next person who might happen to possess a little
more money. The law says that a woman in such a situation is a
sufferer, and it was for the jury to determine by their verdict to what
extent she had suffered. The learned coansel then called
John Hall, who is plaintiff's brother, has known James Grundy for
two years. Grundy drives the Bruce coach between Manchester and
Buxton. In February last, witness travelled by the Bruce to Man-
chester. Ilia father had died the preceding January, intestate. Grundy
asked him to come on the coach-boa, and questioned him as to the di-
vision of his father's property. Witness replied, that he, another bro-
ther, and his sister Ann, were to share in it equally. and that their re-
spective shares would be 1,0001. each. Grundy immediately invited
witness to his huuse in Manchester. %Witness went there, and was taken
through all the rooms, and shown the furniture. Grundy then told him
that he could see he wanted for nothing, and his sister Ann had
nothing to do but to " hang her bonnet up," for he'd have her.
Grundy then took witness to some other property which he had,
consisting of a few cottages and a public-house. He saw Grundy
after this, in ftlarch, and was invited by him to be present at his
wedding.
Cross-examined by Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS.—The day on which
Grundy spoke to him about his sister was not Valentine's-day, though
it was somewhere near the middle of February ; Grundy is a jolly red.
faced man, who limps a little ; could not say how old he is ; witness's
sister Ann is 28 years of age.
Mrs. Hall, the wife of the preceding witness, had known Grundy
two years ; on the 20th of March lust she was directed by Ann Hall to
look out for the Bruce couch ; she went into the front garden and did
su ; the coach presently came by, when Grundy, who was driving it,
stopped, and gave a person called Slater, who was with her, a letter,
saying, "Give that to Miss Hall." On the 19th of April Grundy
came to Ann Hall's mother's house, in order to take me with him to
Manchester; witness helped to carry the boxes and trunks to the coach ;
they contained the wedding dresses.
('cost-examined.—She knows that Grundy cannot write.
The letter was here put in and read ; it was couched in a mixed style I
of business and love, and contained a formal appointment of the day for
the wedding to take plate.
James Sykes.—Keeps the George and Dragon at Ardwick ; has
known Grundy twelve years; last March be came to witness and asked
hint to write a letter to Ann Hall for him; witness did so; the letter
just read is that which lie wrote; on the 21st of March he saw Grundy
again, and some one present said to him, that he could find a wife for
him with 1,7001. but Grundy replied that it was too late, for his mind
was finally fixed, and not'aing should change it.
Cross-examined.—The letter was not read over to Grundy after it was
written ; Grundy and Ann Hall had been together to his house once at
the latterend of February: Ann was not sighing, but seemed in a very
steady mood : Grundy also seemed quite at his case, and not as if he
were deeply in love; they sat together in a room: Grundy does look ra-
ther red in the face, and has rather a limp : Ann is at Lancaster to-day,
but not looking so cheerful as she usually does.
The daughter of last witness deposed to the same effect; she had been
invited to be Ann Hall's bridesmaid. Ann slept at her father's house on
the night before the wedding.
Eliza Williams, servant to Sykes, stated, that on the morning of the
20.1 i April, the defendant, accompanied by a friend of his, a hackney-
coachman, came to the house of Sykes, and asked where all the folks
were ? it was at eight in the morning. Witness said, Ann Hall would
be down directly and ran up to call her : she went into Ann's bed-
mom, woke her, and told her that Grundy was come. She jumped up,
aril said she would be down directly. Witness went and told Grundy
:so, but he said "Oh ! So she's not coming." Witness ran up stairs
again, and came back to tell Grundy that his mistress would be down
instantly. He turned to his friend, and said, " I see she's not for
raring ; I'm here to time, according to promise, before witness ; "
and an saying, marched off: As he was going, witness called out to
" You're a pretty fellow, aent you ; do you wish a woman to
eleaw down naked'?" Ann Hall came down in a few minutes. She
was not mute than a quarter of an hour in dressing. She went in pur-
suit of Grundy with Sykes, but did not find him, and returned is ten
minutes,
John Senior, clerk to Messrs. Foulkes and Co. plaintiff's attornies,
stated that he called on the defendant on the 21st of April; he called
on Grundy at the Bear. Grundy then declared that he expected 5001.
of Anne's fortune to be paid down, and the remaining 5001. to be se-
cured to him. Witness went at his desire and told Ann so, and she
said that nothing of this had been said, but had it been understood so,
the money would have been found. %Witness. told this to Grundy,
and said that he ought not to use a woman so. Grundy replied,
tiro she might go home to her friends and be d—d, for he'd have no-
tlirng to do with her.
Mr. JOHtt WILLIAMS (with whom was Mr. A ereEnson), fur the
defence, urged on Orurdy's behalf the business-like, unromantic na-
ture of the contract between the parties ; he admitted that the plaintiff'
was entitled to a verdict, but it was for the Jury to decide upon the loss
Anne Hall bad sustained in defalcation of the limping, red faced, fifty-
year-old defendant.
1 he learned Junon summed up, and left the amount of damages
for the consideration of the Jury. From such a man as Grundy it might
be rather a subject of congratulation to the plaintiff to have wail ed
tor lee ; at the same time it was not to be supposed that he was to act
is the manner in evidence before them a ith impunity.
The Jury, after a little deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff.
Damages 1001. costs 40s.

Accusr 27.
CASE OF SEDECTION.GOODIER V. TRAVIS.
This was an action biougin by the plaintiff fur compensation for the
hiss of his daughter's services, in Consequence of her being seduced by
tit: defendant.
Mr. BROUGHAM stated the facts of the case. The plaintiff, Mr.
t ;outlier, was a respectable farmer and corn miller, residing near Man.
cheater. Mr. Travis, the defendant, was the son of a respectable farmer.
also tesiding in the same neighbourhood. In the year 1828 an intimacy
commenced between the defendant and the eldest daughter of the plain.
The two families were on terms of friendship, and the defendant
%%es rtctived as the suitor of Miss Goodies. He found opportunities of

meeting the young woman clandestinely, and without the knowledge of
her family. During the acknowledged visits of the defendant, he gene-
rally went away between eight and nine at night; but after the family
had gone to bed, he was in the habit of returning and enjoying the so-
ciety of his lover. It was during one of the secret interviews thus ob-
tained that the defendant efEcted his purpose. The consequences
speedily became apparent, and the vows sad protestations, and promises
of marriage, which he had made to the young woman, were faithlessly
broken. _

Miss Goodier, who is a good-looking young woman, of genteel ap-
pearance, was then culled into the box. She behaved throughout with
much modesty and propriety. She stated that the defendant lived with
his father at New Barn, in Salford. She became acquainted with him
in September, 1828. From that time until the following April, he fre-
quently visited the plaintiff's house. On the 26th April he promised
marriage, and named Whitsuntide as the tune. On that evening he
went away between eight and nine, but came again after her parents had
gone to bed, and remained until three in the morning. She agreed that
they should be married at Whitsuntide ; he said they had better get a
house before the marriage, which should take place before September.
On the 26th of April, a particular intimacy took place between them.
He often promised marriage. both before and after that time; he con-
tinued his visits about once a week until July ; he did not come after
the middle of July until the Ist of September, when he came with a
shooting party. He, on that occasion, renewed his promises of mar-
riage, and said it should take place before the 25th of September. She
afterwards waited upon Mr. Eckersley, a mutual friend; the defendant
met her there, and stated that he would not marry her until he knew
what her fortune was. After that time, his visits were entirely dis-
continued.

Miss Gaither underwent a long cross-examination by Mr. F. Pollock.
It appeared, in the course of the examination, thin her father had for.
merly kept a public-house at Harpurley, in which she acted as barmaid ;
and Mr. Pollock put a variety of interrogatories with a view of showing
that her manners and ideas had become vitiated by intercourse with the
company who resorted to that house. 111 r. Eckersley, the gentleman
above referred to, was then called, and stated that he is son-in-law to
the plaintiff: In the month of September, 182 J, he had an interview
with the defendant, who requested him to mention to his mother, Mrs.
Travis, the situation of Miss Moodier. He, in consequence, saw Mrs.
Travis, who stated that she had no objection to Miss bloodier as a
daughter-in-law. Witness afterwards told the defendant that he should
receive, on his marriage, 7001. which would be afterwards increased to
2,0001. This witness also stated that old Mr. Travis farms his own
land, which extends to about 20 Cheshire acres, and that he lately pur-
chased some property, for which he gave 4,0001. He had also a dye.
house and a mill, besides about 30 small houses.

Mr. PoLLocx, In addressing the Jury on behalf of the defendant,
stated that he would be unable to pay any damages, if such should be
awarded.
_. _

The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, 3001.

GLOCESTRR, FRIDAY, Auc. 27.
CROWN SIDE.
Before Mr. Justice BOSANQUET.

David Gregory, aged 21, was indicted for the wilful murder of Jere-
miah Boswell, on the 30th of March last.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner and the deceased were in the
employ of Mr. Herbert, a farmer, of Church-down. While they were
at work on the 29th of March, they quarrelled and fought with each
other until they both fell, when Mr. Herbert came up and parted them.
The next morning the ecceased challenged the prisoner to fight again,
and they renewed the contest. The prisoner, after several blows had I
been exchanged, struck the deceased in the ribs, and then holding out
his hand, in which he held a knife, said, " Here, my buy, what do you
think of this ?" The deceased, on putting his hand to his left side,
found he had been cut. Ile was taken to the Glocester Infirmary, and
the surgeon who attended him intimated his opinion that the instru-
ment with which the wound was inflicted, had penetrated the lungs.—
The prisoner was tried at the last assizes upon an indictment under
Lord Lanadown's act, for maliciously cutting and stabbing, but was
acquitted upon that charge. Boswell was at that time alive; but hav-
ing since died, (viz. on the 19th of April) the Corner', Inquest found a
verdict of " Wilful murder" against him, and the present indictment
was then preferred.
The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence. His master,
Mr. Herbert, in speaking to his character, said he had always found
him a quiet good tempered man.
The Jury found him guittg, and he was sentenced to 12 months im-
prisonment and hard labour.

Thomas Cooper, a young man, was indicted for sending a letter to
William Stephens. a farmer, residing in the parish of Campden, threat-
ening to destroy his premises by fire.
It appeared that a rick of wheat belonging to a person of the name of
Horn, at Campden, had been set fire to shortly before the sending of
the letter in question, and the prisoner and sonic of the persons men-
tioned in the letter were present on that occasion.
We give the letter as a curiosity, altering some of the spelling to make
it intelligible.
-

Mister Wm. Stephens. You is an overseer, and as it was not
your wish to do any good to the poor of Campden, and as it now
lies in your power to make a great alteration in this parish, and if
you does not you may pray (fon to make you, for your property
shall all be destroyed before three months is past. Here you lives
of the best, and all the poor people are starving for want. There is
a great GOD above in Heaven, and you know we have all got a soul to
save when we die, and if we don't do what we ought, we shall go to
hell. I'm worth thousands of pounds every day in the week. I
stood by the fire with Thomas Cooper, William Wilson, W. Mor-
gan, B. Wilke, and Henry Knight, and I shall sec how you behave
to them ; and, if you behave bad, judgment shall fall on your pre-
mises, Stephens. But, let the consequence come as it will, there will
be another or two fires in Campden before it will be found out.—
If Neddy Miles don't speed a little of his money, I will burn him
in his bed, and all his new houses up street. I can put spirits and
it will go for three days and nights before the burst will flash, but
the next shall fall at the midnight, and poison the first man as
touches it. So I would beg you to do good to the poor in this
world, and then 600 will do you good in the new world to come,
I hope. So I beg you be careful, William Stephens (March 30, IMO),
for you see your danger before your eyes. I have drank with you many
a time, but never will no more. Lord open their eyes."

•
There was not sufficient proof of the hand-writing to convict the pri-
soner, (who declared in the !Mat solemn manner that he was innocent,)
and the jury, under the directions of th learned Judge, found a verdict
of Not Guilty.
It was stated by Mr. JrSTICE, who conducted the case for the pro-
secution, that a system of intimidation by threats of this description
had been kept up in the parish in question for a very long time, and the
parishioners had been in a state of great terror.
The learned JUDGE said, that if any persons should be convicted of
this offence, they would be transported for life.
The business of these assizes closed at four o'clock this afternoon.—
It was expected that the two men, Wood and 316Mahon who were
convicted yesterday of maliciously wounding Decimus flest, would
be left for execution ; but we understand that on an objection taken
by Mr. Watson, the prisoner's Counsel, that the Act of Parliament
(Lord Lansclowne's Act) contemplated only en incised wound, and
not a contused wound, Mr. Justice Park, slur confening with the
other Judge of Assize (M. Justice Bosanquct), declined passing sen-
tence on the prisoners, and reserved the point for the opinion of the
twelve Judges.

CORK ASSIZES.
James Golden was indicted for defiling Judith Murphy.
The prosecutrix in this case was a young countrywoman, who stated
that she lived in the service of Miss Beamish, and that the prisoner was
in the same service. The offence with which the prisoner was charged
took place in July last, at Waterfall, where all the parties resided.
The prosecutrix stated the particulars of the ttansaction, which are
wholly unfit for publication. According to her statement the offence
was committed in Mr. Ileamish's kitchen, at about ten o'clock at night,
and in violent opposition to her wishes.
On the part of the prisoner, a man named Barry was examined, who
deposed, that he saw the parties on the night in question, through a
window, in a very unequivocal situation, and that the prosecutrix ap-
peared not to be resisting. The witness said he they entered the house,
upon which the prosecutrix made a few sharp remarks to Golden, at
which he laughed, and then quitted the house.
Nicholas Beamish stated, that he employed the prisoner and the pro-
secutrix. The latter had no business in the house on the night in
question. She did not sleep in the house, and might have gone home
long before the alledged offence had been committed. Witness and his
family did not sleep in the house. Upon hearing of the transaction next
day, witness resolved to discharge the prosecutrix.
Cross-examined.—Witness, when told of the occurrence, said that
there was a time when, perhaps, he would have done such a thing him-
self if he had liberty. Witness paid the cxpences of the defence.
The CouRT observed that, whatever might be the issue of the trial,
the conduct of the last witness was by no means creditable to him.
His Lordship, having sumnied up, left the jury to decide upon the cre-
dibility of the witnesses.
After deliberating for about a quarter of an hour, the Jury returned
a verdict of Guilty ; but it appeared that in the interval between the
retirement of the jury and the return of the verdict, a marriage was so-
lemnized between the prisoner and the prosecutrix in the dock, with the
consent of the latter.
The learned BARON said that the marriage of the parties was the
only circumstance which could save the life of the prisoner. As
that was certified by the clergyman who solemnized it, and declared by
the prosecutrix, he ditected judgment of Death tube recorded against
the prisoner ; at the same time that he would consider what further pro-
ceedings ought to be adopted.

In a field at Wisbawtown, belonging to Mr. Robert Muir-
head, there was a single stalk of oats found a few days ago, containing
255 grains or pickles, all in a healthy state, and fur advanced towards
maturity.—Gfaspow Chronicle.
