The wretched
Relin'd -
The last,
A love4ost, nsin'd female I repose
From the sad hour I listen'd to his charms,
And fell, halfrfered, in the Deceiver's arms,
To that whose awful Veil hides ev'ry fault.
Sheltering my 'Wrings he this welcome vault !
When pamper'd, stan'd, ihandon'd, or in drink,
I%ly thoughts were raek'd in striving not to think ;
Nor could rejected conscience claim the pow'r
Timprove the respite of one serious hour—
I duet not look to what I was before—
Itly soul shrunk back and wish'd to he no mote !
, Of eye undaunted, and of touch impure, • -
•Old ere of age, worn out when scarce mature!
Cover'd with guilt, infection, debt, and tent;
My home a brothel, and the streets asylsent ;
Fat seven long years of infamy I've pin'd
And fondled. loath'd and prey'd upon mankind ;
Till, the full course of sin and vice gone through,
Alp shatter'd fabric faird at twenty-two.
Then death, with every InFor in his train,
Here elos'd the scene of naught but guilt and pain.
Ye fair associates of my <lfni* bloom,
0! come, and weep, and tioat at my tomb
Let my short youth, my blighted beauty rah
•
The fatal poison of unlawful love
0 ! think how quick my foul career I ran.
The dupe of passion, vanity, and man !
Then shun the path where gay delusions shine, .
Be your's the lesson—sad experience mine!

rived those means from !he emoluments Igs pro-
fession, or from his private fortune, was quieten un-
iaquiry.
biligniorgiut, the actuary of the Equitable In-
surance Company, stated that the living was worth
to the defendant. at his time of life, ten years' pur-
chase; lint to szlitting man of 24, ea the Hon. W.
Watson was staMto be, it was worth 94 years' pur-
chase ; which, taking the net income at £746, would
give £10;440.
Mr. Hobson, a farmer of Kettering, was called,
who stated that glebe glebe lands were let to poor
tenants, and Inilpirnot think they were worth any
thing. For himself would rather be without them.
The poor rates were equal to the rents. Hii own
farm was a mere burden to him it and if he had been
nothing but A farmer, he must long ago have been
a bankrupt.
Mr. SCARLET?, in reply, said, that if he were al-
lowed to give evidence against the mere statement
of his Learned Friend, he could shew that his repre-
sentation respecting the promise of another living
was unfounded. He would leave the Jury to judge
which party was likely
.to make an imprudent ISSIbi
'gain, and to suffer by the cunning of the'other—",
young nobleman just entering life, or a clergyma*
of mature years, of classical education, and know.
ledge of the world. The policy which the Solicitor.i
General had imputed to the Church had no existence
but in his own fancy. Was it true that a clergyman
was married to his first living, and might never
afterwards have intercoutse with other parishes? If
so, there could be no preferment—no Dean could
ever be made a Bishop, and translations could exist
no longer. He concluded by repeating hisnffer, that
,if Mr. Fletcher would now consent to resign, not a
fir king of his money should be taken.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, that
lat present they were not called on to give any opinion
respecting the legality of the bond. unquestionably
they were not compelled to give the whole penalty
by way of damages, but might make any deductions
which they thought just. The proper way to esti-
mate the value of the living was, in his judgment,
to consider what it was worth to Mr. W. Watson, at
the age of 24, not what was its value to Mr. Fletcher;
but they would adopt such rule as they thought right.
From the sum thus obtained they would make any
deductions they, conceived just; perhaps they would
not think they :ought to allow anything for a curate,
as they would scarcely presume that the incumbent,
would not perform the whole duty; but they might
make sonle deduction for the house, remembering
that the defendant.had enjoyed it,for seven years.—
They had no power to compel Mr. Fletcher to resign;
but they must give compensation in-money to Lord
Sondes; not because money was strictly a compensa-
tion, but because, as in some other cases,- it was the
only one which they could render.
The Jury, alter again inquiring whether Mr.Fletchcr
could not be obliged to resign, and receiving an answer
in the negative, assessed the damages at E. 10,000.
COURT OF COMMON PIJ.tS, JUNE 1.
LORD lIAbIPDEN V. SNIALLMAN.
Mr. Seljeant LENS stated that this was an action
of trespass, brought against the defendant for having
broken down a door erected by the plaintiff in a pas-
sage leading from Lee's Mews into Upper Brook-
street. The *action was intended to determine whe-
ther the Public bad a light of way in the passage in
question ? The whole of thal and the adjacent ground
had formerly been denominated 11111-field, and in
1728 a building lease had been granted to some in-
dividuals, the ultimate reversion of which was in
Lord Grosvenor: The plaintiff was now in posses-
sion of the lease.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the defendant, called
evidence to shew that this passage had, during the
time of living memory, been used as a thoroughfare
by the inhabitants of Lee's Mews and others, and con-
ten.led that, as Lord Grosvenor had never claimed
the right of stopping it up, it must be considered as
having been dedicated to the Public, and could not
now be shut against them.
Mr. Serjeant LENS, in reply, observed that no evi-
dence had been given to shew that Lord Grosvenor
had assented to This passage being used as a public
thoroughfare ; although, if there had, that would not
affect the present plaintiff, who claimed in a distinct
character from his Lordship, and who could not there-
fore be affected by his acts. It was evident this pas-
sage had only existed and been used as the conve-
nience of the inhabitants from time to time suggested.
Lord Chief Justice DALLAS left it to the Jury to
say, first, whether they thought that this had been a
public thoroughfare before the lease of 1728; or,
secondly, whether since that time the plaintiff haii- in
any way dedicated or permitted it to be dedicated to
the public use.
The Jury, after retiring for some time, returned.
with a verdict for the plaintiff, negativing both the
questions left by his Lordship.
