THE KING'S GRAND BALL AND SUPPER.

Yesterday, the first grand 'entertainment was given
by his MAJSITY, at his Matt in St. James's, 'since the
imptovements ind alterations which tfiesancieut build-
ing has undergone, and which is the first thing of the
kind that has taken place in that Palace for twenty ahree
) ears past, when the late King and Queen had their last
ball there, at the celebration of the late King's birth,
when minuets were in fashion, and when public balls
were given by their Majesties at the celebration of both
their bit th-days, after the Drawing-rooms, at which all
those who were in the habit of attending Courts were
admitted. These assemblies were discontinued, owing
to the drclining years of their late Majesties, and other
circumstances. No public or state use has been made',
of this venerable pile for a number of years. *llie suite'
of state rooms in it were always consideted the best in
Europe, particularly for holding Levees and Drawing.
Looms; but they had...been starved to go to decay,
were very much out of repair, and, in fact, were void
if all ernamesit except the ancient valuable tapestry,
Abnut three years since, it was determined to improve,
rnlarge, and beautify the Palace, retaining the suite of
Court-room-, with the exception of throwing two of the
rooms into one, the separation of which was deemed'
useless. In
...t.ht vari •us improvements c utemplated,
grand entertainments were nut lost sight of, and the eld
kitchen was connected with the offices ot the Palace,
without having to go out its the open air, through the
Aiubassadors' and Entre-yard, as was tot merly the ca-e.
The kitchen has been altered accord ng to modern ins.
provements, under the immediate direction of Mr. Val-
met, his Majesty's principal cook.
The KING having determined to give a grand enter-
tainment at this Palace, cards of ins itation were issued
on the 2•Sth of June, stating that the Equerry in Wait-
ing had received his Majesty's commands to invite (n-
-setting the parties' name or names invited) to a ball and
sum- et. At the bottom of the card was inserted, within
a parenthesis, Gala Dress.
The entertainment of last night was provided in the
Lord Steward's department, and the whole of the exten-
sive at rangements have been made under the immediate
direction of Mr. Brent, the Deputy Comptroller of the
Household ; the whole of which was managed with the
greatest regularity and splendour, worthy the beloved
SoVereign of Great Britain. The execution of the ar-
rangements was in the department of Mr. Moortield,
the Principal Clerk of the Kitchen. The provisions had
'teen preparing for some days past in the kitchen at the
King's Palace, Pall-mall, and also in the newly-arranged
kitchen in the Ambassadors and Elute-yard, nnderjkie
direction of Mr. Viln•et.
During yesterday, preparations were making at the
'Palace fur the evening's entertainment, in the different
departments. A number of carts and waggons, loaded
with mange and other choice trees, and also a great'
vatiety of choice flowers, from the Royal Gardens at
Kew, arrived; which were tastefully and judiciously
placed on the grand staircase, and in various appro.-
Foliate parts of the rooms, under the direction of Mr.
Alton, the • King's principal gardener. The rooms
were dry rubbed. •
The company invited to the entertainment of last
*night were more select than numerous, there being only
about 500 present. The company began to arrive at
ten o'clock, toe hour at which their cards of invitation
mentioned. They entered by the colonnade, at which
the general comp:say enter at the King's D. awing-
rooms. They were received by the Marshalmen in
their state uniforms, the Under Porters in their uni-
forms, the Gentlemen Puiters its their Court dresses.—
the entiance was lighted by two large square lamps
on pedestals, with two burners each; the colonnade
through which the company passed, leading to the foot
of the grand staircase, was lighted with twelve cantle.
labra, with two glass but nets each, on pillars, paintid
in imitation of marble. A choice selection of mange
trees in full blossom, with a great variety of most ire-
grant flowers, brought from the Royal Gardens at
Kew, were placeJ in the niche at the bottom of the
grand staircase. Toe landing at the top of the grand
staircase was Lighted with nine candelabra, about seven
feet in height, designed by Balarino, after the manner
'of the antique, each. candelabrum having three ground
glass burners, bronzed.
The KING'S private band, under the direction of
Mr. Kramer, their Master, was stationed in the Pre-
sence Chamber, who commenced playing on the ar-
rival of the company, and they continued playing dor-
i'ng the evening, at iuteivals, at the cessation of
the dancing, &c.
The dancing' co'tnmenceJ In the ball-room, about
eleven o'clock, which was accompanied by a band en-
gaged for the dances, consisting of Messrs. Muzard,
Alichau, Colinette, and fourteen other choice per-
formers, who were stationed in a temporary orchestra.
wrectedin recess •cf one of the windows. The ball
tooth was brilliantly illuminated, having in the centre a
superb or-melu chandelier, containing two tqws of wax
lights, each row containing sixty lights.
This room, which is only second in size to the ban-
quetting.rosm, being above sixty feet in length, and
nearly forty in breadth, also contained two superb can-
delabra, above twelve feet in height, the ornaments uf
which were particularly rich ; each of these candela.
bras contained twelve wax candles, and were placed on
the side of the room opposite the orchestra.
The ceiling of the ball-room is ornamented with gold mould.
4ngs, and is hashed at each corner with a remarkably bold
.gilt scroll.
On each side of the grand centre door, which is sur-
mounted by a rich cornice leading to the entre-roam,
stool a gilt candelabrum, on a very massy branch,
richly carved and gilt, containing twelve wax lights,
each at ranged in the form of a semicircle, which had a
very brilliant effect; two candelabra of exactly a simi-
Jaz descript on were on each side of the fire-place, at the
bottom of the room.
The from of the temporary orchestra was hung with crimson
cloth, draped in festoons to correspond with the curtains, and was
edged with broad yellow fringe.
The entre-room, • a hick joins the oom, had in
the middle an elegant chandelier, equal in splendour
and size to that of the bill-room, containing two rows
of thirty wax lights each. Die three pier glasses in
this ronns extend to the floor; in (tout of each of t: ern
two gilt candelabra of a vet y light and tasteful descrip-
tion were placed, having four wax lights etch. This
room is equal in breadth to the ball-room, but it is
not so long.
The drawing•roorti was lighted by a large chandelier, containing
two rows of cighiven wax hzins each. Candclobt a of the same
description asthma of the entre room were placed in front of the
?Arts in this room.
In the gallery leading from the ballroom to thel
banqueting-room, five tables were set out with. let resh
xnentv for the company, contained in a i assortment of
plate. Two of the tables were tet apart for iur-
A;i:b;ng thelompany with tca and coffer. On two of

the tables ices %sere served; awl on the other, a variety'
of retiethasents were stpplied. • •
In the centre of each of the-tables stood a very large
flitted massive candelabrum, ornsmeoted at the bottom
with the royal arms. They were all surmounted by a lion,
standing on a silver crown, having also a small one on its
head, e4ch candelabrum containing 12 wax lights. There
was a great display of superb gold plate on the middle
table in this room. Four Grecian candelabra mounted on

tpedestals, richly gilt, were placed between etch window,
with two burners each. Similar candelabra were placed
on each side of the door, at both ends of the gallery.
The side of the gallery, opposite the windows, contains
the full length portraits of King Henry VIII. Queen
Mary, Queen Elizabeth, King James I. King Charles I.
King Charles 11. King James 11. King William and
Queen Mary, represented in their full robes, all being
of the same size, and the frames of the pictures corre-
sponding, with the exception of King Charles I. which
is in the centre, over the fire-place, and is larger that;

whole length of this room, which were covered with
crimson cloth, edged with yellow to ,mi.a•e gold, for
the accommodation of the company who partook of the
refreshments provided there. The ro:+m i, considered
to be about 80 feet long. About one o'clock, the ban-

and splendour, in its.fi sings up, &c. and the massive,
cmtly, and magnificent service of his M .je,ty's plate,
which afforded an ample sc•pe for the taste of Mr.
RenWar, the King's'conlec ioner, in its di.ti ibutions and
display, the erect of which was expressed ill. language
'of.astonishment by the company generally as they
altered the room. The tout-en-se:NW of this Royal

banquet exceeds description. We shad, however, at-
tempt to give an idea of the decorati.ms. The company
was too numerous to admit ot the whole sitting to sup-
per at the tame time, and therefore one party retired to
make room for another. They were supplied by a cross,
tab.e at the end, and two long tables the length of the
roam,which were lighted with braall or-mole candelabra,
with appropriate stands for choice fruits, tee.
. Mere were six tables behind the long tables with reserves if re-
freshments, for the pages in attendance to supply the company with.
Four lustre:, each containing twelve burners, were
placed at each corner of the room. At the end of the
room was a large beaufet, the back ground of which
was covered with crimson silk, oinamented at the top
with three r metes. lirthe partitions were the choicest
pieces of the KlNo's state gold plate, which was used
on this occasion, and which was arranged in the most
tasteful manner, and displayed to the greatest advantage.
In the centre was placed a superb solid gold salver. richly chased
'with all the Orders the Kiser possesses. and also those his Mason`
has received front Foreign Potentates, to the number of twenty-five.
Above this. was placed the shield of Achi.les in gold.
i
modelled by Flazinan, and supposed to be his the
d'iruvre. executed by Nlessrs. itundell and Bridge. On
the left side of this, the National Cep was displayed,
beautifully enriched with she badges of t!re patron
Saint: ot the three Kingdoms of England, Ireland, and
Scotland, viz. St. George, St. Patrick, and St. Andrew,
tet in precious stones round the cup in different Corns,
partments. Oa the opposite side of the shield was'
placed an arrique tank, richly embelished with precious
gems, and antique stcriles of peat value.-
The
centre of the back ground of the bemire' was finished with
a piece of gold plate, which was taken out of the Admiral's ship
commanding the Spanish Armada.
On the top of each end of the back-ground of the beaufet were
two gold ewers, on which were de.cubed, in the most elaborate
workmanship, he triumph of Bacchus and Ariadno ; the handles,
to which represent mermaids. The stands 'or dishes on which tiro
vases stood were ornamented-with the figures of some 'of the man,
rine deities,designed by Howard. These vases contained rose-water.
At each corner of the heavies a candelabrum was placed, having]
five was lights in a row. ..
Ss small gold vases were interspersed, containing artificial
flowers, together with a variety of handsome pieces of gold plate:
At the corner of the end of the table, near the beaufet, stood a
most magnificent or-mulu candelabrum, representing the fable of
the Ilesperian tree; at the bottom were three piping fawns, over
which were three nymphs feeding the dragons.
At the opposite corner of the room was another candelabrum,
to match with one of the same size, which represented Mercury
presenting young llacchus to the Nymphs. Both these candelabra
were designed by Flazaran. and contained a number of was lights.

ELECTION OF SIDCRIFTS.—••YesterdaT a Common Hail

the votes had been duly examined. The return was
exactly the same as that made on Friday, and Alder-
man CnowDaa and Mr. KELLY were declared to be

were vo•ed to the present Sheriffs, for their conduct
during the election. in returning thanks, they con-
gratulated the Livery on the choke they had made.
A few days ago, the four Canadian Chiefs break-
fasted with the LORD MAYOR, and having expressiacl a
wish to visit the coffer dam, in which the LORD MAYOR
land Company were received on the occasion of laying
the first stone of the New London W idge, the Rev. Mr.
WRRNCII, tl.e LORD MAYOR'S Chaplain, accompanied
them to the spot and over the works: they expressed
the most lively astonishment at the enormous fabric.
The LORD MAYOR presented them with a medal, upon
which was engraved a brief staiemeht of what took
place on the day the ceremony was per formed.
Yesterday, a mad dog ran • into the shop of Mr.
Baker, oilman, of Newcastle-stieet, Strand ; Nesbit,

immed:ately shot the animal.
Sunday, the 19th ult. a woman of the name 'of
Robison, from Stonykirk, was lodged in the gaol of

A young man, 22 years of age, named Ch stirs
Green, a writing-clerk in an attorney's office in Man-
chester, has been apprehended and lodged in the New
Bailey; on a charge of killing his own .rnother. It
seems he was muer intoxicated ; and in a scuffle which
took pl..ce in his father's house on Thursday evening,
he inflicted such severe injuries upon his mother that
she died soon afterwards. An Inquest has been held
on the body ; but no person was examined but a surgeon,
and the further proceedings were airjourced.
Wednesday night, a most barbarous murder was
committed op the body of Michael Duggan, near Talbert, in the
county of Dublin. The deceased was a steward or care-taker, in
the employment of Mr. Daniel, who lately took a lease of the
Commons of Saggard. The body was discovered about six o'clock,
by a girl going to milk cows, In a field on the lands of White's-
town. upwards of three miles from Duggan's residence. It
was is a %blocking state; time balls or slugs were lodged in the
breast ; the back of the skull was fractured in two places, and the
front of the head, down to the teeth, was completely beaten in. A
ball had passed through the right hand, and the lets was dreadfully
mangied with some sharp instrument. Part of a ramrod, the hank
of a gun, and a scythe freshly sharpened, were found, ne..r the spot ;
near which three cows and a rah were fuund much injured, their
tails bring cut off, and one of them having a cut in the kg. Mr.

COURT OF KING'S BANCEI. JULY 4.

• nowt V. Twice:Ka
Mr. C. Putouts stated that this was an action by Elisabeth Cole.
against Joseph Twiner, for a breach of promise of marriages to
which the Itenerariasue was pleaded.
Mr. BItoUOHAII stated the case of the plaintiff, who
claimed compen.atian for one of the most serious in-
juries which a female- codld suffer; for not only had the
plaintiff to complain of all the mortification and hard.
ship which attended the brea-h of a solemn engagement,
but she had to deplore the loss of her virtue. She was
a young Lidy of great personal attractions, the daughter
of an opulent farmer in Leicestershire, who lost her fa-
ther in 1817, and her mother in 1819, and went to live
in the family of Mr. Newbolr, one of her guardians.—
Death, however, deprived her of his protection, and
after passing some time in the family of his brother, Col.
Hulse, she was placed to board in the house of a re-
spectable widow Lady. named Pring, at the town of
Coleshill, in Waririckshile ; while under her protection
she became accidentally accoaintecrwith the defendant.
who was then pursuing his studies at Oxford, in pre-
paration for holy orders, and who was spending his va-
cation at the house of his mother, Mt s.• Peers, who lived
nearly opposite to Nlrs. Pring. The families were in-
timate; the defendant, a young man of fascinating
manners, paid peak :mention to the young L isly. and
won her affections. His expectations were considerable,
for he was the eldest son, and on his mother's death
entitled to an estate of 3001. .or 4001. a-year, besides
what he might reasonably expect from his talents and
connexions. After an acquaintance of two or three
months he proposed• marriage. and was accepted—
His mother knew and sanctioned his choice by inviting
her fiequently to her house, and treating her with the•
respect due to an intended daughter. In his letters he
addressed her passionately, and though such effusi ns
sounded ridiculous in the ears of bystanders, they would
afford evidence of the relation between the parties.
From one specimen the Jury would be well able to
judge of the reason which the plaintiff had to confide
in his sincerity and honour. It seemed he had been
infected with a taste for boxing, against which she had
exerted her influence; and accordingly he thus wrote
, to her fespeeting one of these matches, from which she
I denied him to refrain:—

" My dearest Eliza—Long ere you receive this, you will have
heard of the unfortunate hue of pour Billy's battle, therefore I
win not say anything concerning it. Very luckily for me I could
not get a single sixpence on the event, and what will surprise you
more, I had fortitude sulEcient to keep away from it, contrary to the
expectation of every one that knew MO. As I hope to Uve I did it
to please you; and from this time forth I solemnly vow never more
to interfere in any such matters, and you shall see what I can be--
I hope to Goss everything you could wish. Be at my mother's as
much as possible. I hope and mean, with Gon's permission, in a
very short time to claim and clasp you as mine own until death.—
Think of me, Eliza, and expect to see me on Friday morning, when
I hop* tornake arrangements with you for our future proceedings.
May Heaven bless and preserve you; and all I wish and all I ask
for is, that your heart may beat respondent and with equal love to
that of your true and ever-loving admirer '• TWIGGER.
" Take care of yourself, my love—Adieu!"
Unhappily this Lady was deceived by these professions
of affection, end surrendettd het Vl,lne to the impor-
tunities of her lover. She became a mother ; and Mr.
Twigger's love was at qn end—she was no longer his
" dearest Eliza ;" his vow; and protestations were over;
he hid himself, and was found with the utmost diffi-
culty ; and when found,, was the husband of another,
woman. So destitute was this young Lady's condition,
that she must have gone to the workhouse but for the
.humanity of Captain Peers, who had married the de-
4endant's mother. He opened his house to receive her.
and there she remained ten weeks, and was delivered
of a child. Indeed, the conduct of this Gentleman was
most honourable through the whole of this melancholy
transaction. Mrs. Peers, on the other hand, had taken
part with her son,which might be excuseJ to a mother;
' but she had also actei towards the plaintiff in a way
which she had little reason to expect. Under these
Circumstances—her health destroyed—her character
blasted—‘pressed down by a complication of misery—...
she sought redress at the hands of the Jury against one
who would one day be well able to pay damages, and
who, if not at present independent, still deserved not
the less to suffer for the injury which he had inflicted.
Mrs. Print, a widow Lady of Coleshill, was then
' sworn. S.ie stated that Miss Cole came to reside at
her house on the 24th of June, 1823, as a boarder,
being then about 23 or 24 years if age. The defen-
' dant resided at that time with his mother, who bad
married Captain Peers. The defendant visited the
plaintiff, and paid her much attention ; her manners
were lady-like and genteel. Miss Cole was confined
at the house of Mrs. Peers, and remained there after-
wards for twelve or this teen weeks. Mr. Twigger was
between twenty and thirty years of age; he was, per-
haps, twenty-three when he first became acquainted
, with Miss Cole. _ _

On cross-examination by Mr. SCA ReETT, the witness
said, that Miss Cole was brought by Mr. Charles
Dickins, a young and single man, who lived about
three miles from Coleshill. He occasionally visited
the plaintiff for about two months. Letters had passed
between them, which were ' given up two or three
months after Miss Cole came as a lodger. On being
pressed whether Mr. Dickins had gone to Miss Cole's
bed-room ? the witness said that he was once going up
stairs to speak to her, but that she prevented him.
They used to go out together, but the witness did
not know that they ever walked out alone. She re-
-embeied Mr. Dickins mak ng an arrangement to go
away with the plaintiff,: but did not know where they
were to proceed. She did not go, though Mr. Dickins
came ; and un this morning she gave up her letters,
having wished the witness to prevent her from going.
She never saw the defendant in her room but once,
and that was on the mom ning when the letters were
returned to Dickins. Mr. Dickins called an hour after
•Mr. Twigger had retired. Mr. Twigger had requested
to speak with Miss Cole, in her rJorn, and remained
about ten minutes. Ab .sat an hour after be went out,
Mr. Dickins carte in, and Miss Cole returned his let-
ters; he returned none. She was brought to bed on
the 10th of September, 18'24, and chntinued at Coles-
i ill. The witrio.s mined iet out of the house about a
fortnight before her confinement, suspecting her.
On re-examination, the witness said, that sbe inquired into the
character and connections of the plaintiff before• she received her,
and believed her to be of a respectablefamily. She never saw any
impropriety in her behaviour. During Miss Cuk's resilience in her
house, she never observed the slightest impropriety in her conduct.
Rev. John Parker, a Clergyman, who was an associate of the
defendant while he was at Coleshill, said be had heard the defend-
ant &Waited jocosely respecting the plaintiff, and the defendant
might have said he meant to marry tart ; but he could not remem-
ber particular inatances.
Three letters from the cleftniant to the *plaintiff were then read ;
die only hupuhant one of which had been stated by Sir. Druughatss
iti his opening. The others were raters rhapsodical nonsense sear
wining no promise of nurriage.
Other witnesses were examined, but Shell "54""

Atm Lawton. a widow. at Si. Leohanisk on tide !Gals
it was admitted that the defendant was married to 'Ws. ally -
of December. t 1114.-1111* was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. &wieldier addressed the Jury for the defendart.
They had heard from. Mr. Brougham a variety ircifir•.
eumstances calculated to excite theistodpassion, sffit.fis
rested on his mere statement, and to which, shetefore,
no attention ought to be paid. The truth Oust alltea
be otvious; that Dickins was allowed to visit the Wain-
tiff for illicit purpoies, and that she was, in fact, his
mistress. From. the utuiamishness of the priacipal
witness, continued he, you will probably think that she
knows much more than she chooses to tell. Yau wir
probably think that all the parties to this uc;ion know
much more of their affairs than any other per.ons.
When I shew yon, under Misi C.ile's own handier Hoes
that she never had a promise of mai tinge. y ‘st " ;1, Pry:
haps, think she is likely to be correct. When I she v y nu,
further, that she means to periecute him as lon{ As e
lives, perhaps you will' think this is one or the mean;.---
Yon may think it curious that Miss Cole was delivered
at the house of Mrs. Peers, the defendant's
I shall call Mrs. Peers to explain this fact. This
action
is brought against the defendant, as a Clergyman, mother,na
in truth at one time he was designed for this profession
and under this view, Mrs. Peers was anxious, if post
siblr, that her son should marry Miss Cole, in prevent
the consequences of a child being sworn to him; but
when she came to inquire in'o Miss Cole's character,
she found this impossible. What would the Jury say
when they found a letter from the plaintiff herself,
denying that any promise had been made, and giving
the defendant leave to marry whomsoever he chose"
Surely this would put an end to the section; but if nef
cessary, he could prov.e repeated declarations to •tbt
same effect. She did not wish to be a wife---she close
rather to be " free as air," thinking with gloisa—
. Not Casar's Empress would I deign to prove;
" No, make me mistress to the man I hive."
But she threatened to ruin this young man, and break
hii wife's heart; and her first step towards accom
plishing her purpose, was to have him arrested ai
Kingston-upon-Hull, to swear her child to him and
the second was to bring this action; but here, at least,
she would be defeated.
A letter from the plaintiff to the defendant, Was then read as
follows:
" Etierybody tells me that you never cared for ; but she
reverse la the fact. I know you never made me , any promise,
but I trusted to your honour. You have my leave to marry
whom you please; but it you live for twenty years, I will ruin
you, and break your wife s heart."
Mr. Scastm submitted whether, after this letter, the action
could be maintained?
The LORD Caw 'orrice asked Mr. Brougbans, if be wa,
prepared with any evidence to explain this later by the particular
circumstances under which it was seduce ?
Mr. Beouosax replied that he was not; but that he should
confidently submit to the ilia that it was mendy the letter of as
angry woman, who felt herself ill-used.
The LORD Caret intact said, that If the plaintiff trusted to the
defendant's honour without a promise, she bad no ground of action,
and that he thought the plaintiff must be nonsulted.
Baoroaam expressed a strong desire to proceed, hat Yielded
to an iodination from the LORD Carter Justice, that he eossi4ere4
the construction of the letter as purely matter of ;awl on which he
Sit Imoslisl to Avid,.
lir. SCA aLrrr offered to withdraw a Juror; but the proposal
was declined.

The Loan CHIRP JUSTICZ directed the plaintiff' to be called ; znd
in answer to an application tor kave to move, said, that M.
Brougham had a right to move, and he should be happy to revise
his juJgment, it he were wrong, but that at present he had no doubt.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 4.
WANIBLY V. rgAitiON.-

This was an action to recover damages fur a breath of promise
of marriage. •
Mr. Serjtant Pzu. stated the case to the Jury.—
The plaintiff was a young woman in 'humble life,
which made her settlement by marriage of the ut-
most importance. The defendant was engaged in the
ironmongery business, and had paid his addies.es to
the plaintiff for the last four years, promising on
several occasions to marry her. No doubt, at the
time he made these prom:es, he intended to perform
them, but why he altered his intention would, per-
haps, hereafter appear. Several verbal promises were
given, but he should depend fur the ;moot- of the pro..
miss upon a letter, in which the defendant (Jolted the
plaintiff to have the banns published with•ut
Previous to this, however, the plaintiff had became
enciente, in consequence of the intercour e which had
uteloitunatily taken place between them; but the dm.
cove y of this circumstance, however, by irs means
seemed to alter the state of the defendant's affection ;
indeed, it seemed less a change on his pan than a
weakness in yielding too much to the direction cf
others; but as he had been the means of injuring the
reputation of the plain iff in sonic degree, she now
threw herself on the protection afforded by the laws of
her country, and be trusted the Jury .sould give
damages commensurate to the injury suttained. •
The grandinother of the plaintiff was Alien called.
and proved that several• verbal promises of marriage
had been given in her presence; but that the defendant
had since broken off the match on
.pretense that his
parents would not give their consent. The lett, r was
also put in and read, distinctly requiring the plaintiff
to have the banns published.
In the course of the grandmother's cress-examination, it eame.
oat that the plaintiff kept company with see Lane, and °ilea men,
going with them to dances, private theatres, &c And also, that/he-,
defendant said he would marry her with the consent of his paeans.
• Mr. Serjeant WILDE addressed the Jetty far t e de.
fendant. He put it to them to say, whetheo, the pro-
mise made was not in all probability conditional, viz.
that the defendant had the consent of his parents? That
consent had been refused upon the best possible grounds,
as they themselves might judge from the admissions et
the witness, concerning the lightness of the plaintiff's
character.—No witnesses were called for the defence.
The LUND Celgs Juirrice summed up, and left it to
