are all fabrications, alld be continues his correspond-
ence by telling her his agent will forward his letters;
and he keeps, or tells her be keeps, his own family,
and her friends in London, entirely ignorant of his
plans, whilst he is working her into a state of des-
peration and aiixiety that he hopes will induce her
to•sonsi desperate step, that may relfete hit![ front
his engagement, and, at the same time, throwing all
the Warne upon her, make her appear unsteady and
faithleis. unfortunate girl, v ho is nbw ac-
cused of cruel and acrimonious feelings, at this period
of the correspondence, evinces her unrelenting hatred
to the family in a most extraordinary way. In an-
swer to the defendanes,letters, saying his father is
out of bread and starving, this affectionate and
foolish girl, still clinging to the snake by which she
was fascinated, offers to go over to London—being
then well acquainted with the syitem she had learned,
in bitterness and woe, and paid for with her last
guinea---and to teach it to the old and reduced
father of her lover, to enable him to earn a sub-
sistence that he was otherways unable to obtain.—
This, Gentlemen, you cannot think • was dictated by
judgment ; it can be attributed to nothing but love.
What will be said when I tell you that this deception
was carried on for months ?—telling the girl one
story; her aunt and Mr. Hazard another ; and, as
his letters to her state, telling his family a third, for
the sole purpose of covering his mean and contemptible
conduct ;—covering his skulking from place to place
with Mr. Foster, who he was pushing fast to ruin,
and who had been sold up at Croydon, and then re-
tired to Heston, where the defendant still continued
to spunge upon him ; and when at length put out of
that place, while Foster was arranging for another
and more retired residence, the defendant, for want
of a more respectable support, became the fancy eraa
of a prostitute., Gentlemen, your habits may have
left you in ignorance of what a fancy man mean*. I
understand afancy man to be one who lives with a
woman of levity, and suffers himself to be supported
by her on the earnings of her prostitution with other
lovers, on whose admission to her presence he retires.
This discovery was made by Mrs. Walton, the aunt
of my client, who, not satisfied with r*port, went to
the Theatre, where she saw the-defendant and tie
woman together; and, as it was her duty, she in-
stantly informed her niece. Although the defendant
has not thought proper to return the letter he received
from the plaintiff on that occasion, I will lay before
you his answer ; it will leave no doubt that her letter
was modest, feeling, and innocent ; neither will it
leave any doubt that he was mean, false, and guilty.
He, in express words, admits every charge except
the being supported by this woman ; that he denies,
but he says that he then owes but 351. in the world.
The letter is dated the 19th of June, and I will read
his letter of the 21st of April previous, where he re-
presents his debts as above 160/. How he got money
to pay 1251. in two months, let him shew. The con-
duct and correspondence of the defendant is uniform
in nothing but in deceit. You will find him writing
from this island, when he was shunned as a swindler,
yet representing to her that he had his choice of so-
ciety; and since he had, he would be in the best;
that the Bishop being the Duke of Athol's nephew, he
might be of service to him ; and therefore he would
cultivate his acquaintance; yet, says he, I am not
sanguine, but I mention this to excuse myself for
choosing that class of society. If this cause arose
from a promise of youth, thoughtlessly made and
thoughtlessly broke; there is not a coin in this island
small enough to designate the damages you should
give. It is my duty to shew that it has been a settled
plan, formed to extort the last penny from the purse,
and the last gratification • from the person of my
client; that an honourable motive he never had, for
he is incapable of an honourable feeling.
Late on Friday_ evening, the Jury, after a speech
to evidence on the part of the defendant, by Mr. GEL-
LING, a reply by Mr. Rosiest, and a Short but ani-
mated and well-conceived charge to them by the Hon.
Diatesrea GAWNEY, returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff—Damages 5001. with all costs.

Sunday evening, while the respective families were
at Chapel, two houses in Gomme's-row, Hammer-
smith, were entered, and robbed of property to a
great amount.
GROSS OUTRAGlL—Saturday night, at the close of
the performances of the Theatres, a most wanton
attack 'was made on a young man and woman re-
turning home through the Strand, by four ruffians,
attired as gentlemen, who proceeded to take unwar-
rantable liberties with the female, when her protector
resolutely stepped forward in her defence but was in-
stantly knocked down, amidst the vociferation of—
" Go it, Tom !" " Give it him, Jerry !" 44 Floor him,
Logic," &c. A person passing sided with the injured
party, but was grossly ill-treated. Some watchmen
hastening to the spot, the aggressors made off; and
though a pursuit was immediately made, they con-
trived to escape. The young woman was so brutally
used that she was unable to walk home. This species
of outrage is new carried on to an alarming extent,
and requires the more active exertions of the Police.
A lad, aged 12 years, in Westerley (Rhode Island),
one day last week, while going to pasture after his
cows, had occasion to pass through. a wood, where
he discovered on a tree, at some distance from the
ground, a large and furious looking animal. The
boy ran home and told his parents that he had seen
" the devil I" The father promised his son a quarter
of a dollar if he would kill him. The boy tank his
father's gun, charged it well, and repaired with all
haite to the words, when he again found the animal.
Having placed a stake almost directly under him to'
rest his gun upon, he fired, and down fell a panther,
Weighing 140 pounds!--Asneritati Pant. : . •
