WF.I.LS, AUGUST 16.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
SEYWAIR V. OARTSIDE.

14‘
Mr. ADAM stated that the plaintiff was a Liente-
nant in the Navy ; the Lady, who was possessed gr
great beauty and accomplishments, was the wido
of General Gartside, and possessed of six or £7OO a.
year. Both parties resiVe at Bath. Mr. Seymour's,
father died early in the life of Mr. S. and his mother,
married the landlord of the Bunch of Grapes. Mrs.
Gartside was perfectly aware of this. I mention it
because it is likely to I -rm part of the defence—ar.
rangements were made between the parties for taking
a house—the only reason Mrs. Gartside had for the
breach of promise, was her learning that Mr. Sey-
mour's father-in-law was connected as I have stated.
At the time she entered into the engagement she was
acquainted in a most honourable manner with the
whole of -his family connections.
Mr. Madan examined by Mr. Battsv.—ls Master
of the Ceremonies of the Lower Rooms, Bath ; ha,:
known the plaintiff some years; he is a Lieutenant in
the Navy; and moved in genteel circles of society.
Heard him say he did not care about damages, he
only wanted to expose her.
Mrs. Slark has known the defenlant three years ;
knows the plaintiff also. Mrs. G. first introduced him
to witness about three months ago. Witness ry.ked
her if she would have any objection to accept of him
as a suitor? she said he was a very pleas.int roan
Witness told her that Mr. S.'s family were in business.
She said it was of no consequence to lrer ; she had no
one to please but herself. He made an offer; wit-
ness asked her if she accepted it? she said yes. She
said she did not like to be married in Bath, she would
go to Southampton. Saw her again; laughed, and
wished her every happiness in both presences. Wit.
ness told her it was quite unnecessary to go to South-
ampton; they might as well be married at Bathwick.
She said she might as well. Witness's daughter was
present; the morning after the witness left Bath; un-
derstood from Mrs. Gartside that she has six or seven
,hundred pounds a year; she said she had an aged fa-
ther to provide for, and a sister's son that she wished
to educate. Mr. Seymour said she might settle her
property as she thought proper. Saw Mrs. Gartside
the Monday week following, at her own house; Mrs.
Gartside said she was glad witness had returned
asked her why ? she said it was all off between Mr.
Seymour and her. She could not think of marrying
a man whose mother was in business; told her she
should have considered of that before.

Cross-examined by Mr. Set jeant PELL—Are you a
married woman or a widow ?—I am a widow. Her
husband kept the Gloucester Coffee-house ; retired to
Bath a few years after his death.—How long had
Mr. Seymour been acquainted with Mrs. Gartside
before he popped the question to her ? Will you have
the goodness to carry your recollection as far back as
the sweet month of May ?—lt was in the sweet month
of April.—Perhaps the Ist of April (said the Learned
Serjeant)!—Was not a particular confidante of Mr.
Seymour's. The plaintiff's mother, was a pub-
lican and brewer in Westgate-street ; saw Mr. Sey-
mour to-day ; not in Court ; sure of it, because she
said he was not ; was not in the Court with him ; not
ill then; he did not look dejected; was very merri.
It makes you laugh (said the Learned Serjeant)—
( Great laughter in court ).7--Did you ever see in your
life a broken-hearted lover ; had he the appearance
of being broken hearted ?—She was not acquainted
with the nature of men's hearts—(Much laughter).

Serjeant PELL.—My Learned Friend, in rather a
lower voice than usual, said, " This was his case."
The young Lady in the box to-day has afforded us
infinite pleasantry—but the widow's off again—(Re-
peated laughter).
Mr. Serjeant PELL, for the defendant, said it was
not usual for Gentlemen to bring actions against the
Ladies. He hoped, for the honour of the British
Navy, there are but few individuals in that honour-
able profession, who could bring an action for the
avowed purpose of exposing a female; it was not for
compensation, for he had sustained no loss ; tl ere
was no evidence of a token of love; he had not given
her even a sm illing,-bottle ; no bridal dress—no house
provided ; and concluded by stating, that a shilling
damages would be amply sufficient to compensate
a man of the plaintiff's character tot the loss which
he had sustained.
The Learned JUDGE stated, that actions of this
kind were rarely brought; but if there had been a
promise of marriage, and that promise broken, the
plaintiff would be entitled to their vet diet. Some-
thing had been said, by the Counsel for the defendant,
respecting the evidence of Mrs. Slark ; but he, the
Learned Judge, had never heard clearer evidence in
any Court of Justice. The Jury had heard the case,
and would decide on the evidence ; and, as regarded
the damages, they would give such as they thought
the case required. The Jury gave damages 40s.

ExEctmox.—Wednesday were executed at Bury,
pursuant to their sentence at the last Assizes, James
Phillips' and John Wade, for a burglary at Hadleigh,
in Suffelk. Soon after twelve o'clock, the unfortu-
nate culprits ascended the fatal scaffold, having de-
voutly joined in prayer with the Rev. Mr. STOCKING,
Chaplain to the Jail. The executioner now began
the last painful ceremony, and having adjusted the
rope and pulled the cap over the face of one of the
criminals, the drop on a sudden accidentally fell, and
precipitated the jailer, hangman, and the other mise-
rable sufferer, to the ground, who, being pinioned,
received a severe blow against the wall of the prison.
The man who was tied up died instantaneously. The
horror occasioned by this accident was extreme, and
the surviving prisoner was compelled to await his
fate at least twenty minutes, till a temporary Oat-
form was raised, when the executioner performed the
same sad ceremony upon him, and he was launched
into eternity. The feelings of the spectators can be
better imagined than described.
