MILLS I/ RATCLIFFE.
Mr. °Miaow Rated that this was an anion brought
by a father for the fednetion of his daughter. The
Plaintiff was an Ilona farmer, who had a large fa.
may, and the Defendant was alto a young farmer,
who had introduced himfelf to the family of the
Plaintiff, under the pretence of paying honourable
addreffes to the young woman, whom he afterwards
reduced, and when the became pregnant by him, he
cruelly abandoned her. The Learned Counfel
dwelt with great force on the mifery which fuch con.
duet caufed in families, and obferved that to a vir-
tuous man it mull be much lefs painful to follow a
beloved daughter to the grave, than to fee her thus
difhonoured, and her flame publicly proclaimed in a
Court of Plaice. The Jory, as fathers themfelves,
would eliimate what were the damages which the
Defendant ought to pay for fuch bafe conduet.

fira called—the Rated that her father was a farmer
at Great Barton. The Defendant was alfe a farmer
and became acquainted with their family through
her brother. He profcffed love to her, and promif.
ed to marry her. She became acquainted with'him
at the latter end of the year iSca. In January,
iBo4, the went to 'Mit his mother, and while the was
at his mother's bode, he had criminal intercourfe
with her, and the became pregnant.
On crofs-examination by Mr. Serjeant BEST, the
denied that other men had paid their addreffes to
her, or that The had been in the habit of waiting the
Barracks and coqueting with the'OfScers. She ad-
mitted that the was at a dance at Nalam Fair, and
Raid late, but her eldelt filler and a gentleman were
with her.

Elizabeth Mills and Lacy Mills, two other daugh-
ters of the Plaintiffs were called, and proved, that
the Defendant was received at their fatherks hook
as the intended hatband of their filer. Elizabeth
Mills admitted that a cenforious world had accufed
one of her fillers of having remained all night in the
Barracks, but it was not true.

Henry Mills, the brother, Rated, that after his lif-
ter became pregnant, he called upon the Defendant
to fulfil his promife of marriage. but he received
him very rudely, and told him, if it was not for the
law, he would beat him out of doors:

Two witnelTes were alfo called, whn Rated, that
the young wnman had conduced herfelf very pru-
dently until her connexion with the Defendant.
Mr. Serjeant Bier, for the Defendant, addreled
the jury at confiderable length, in mitigation of da
wages. The Jury found a verdia for the Plaintiff.

indift-
meot, the ufual interlocutor finding thelibel relevant
was pronounced, and the cafe was fubmitted to a

Jury.

the prifoner's declarations, that he had been in Mr. '
Dewar's fervice but was ditinified in January lafi
from 4. That he afterwards enlilled into the Royal

number of articles of Mr. Dewar's Rolen ; particu.
larly a green mixed coat, a pair of corduroy breeches
and a hat, which were fully identified by Mr. Dewar
and his fervants. Next day, tome perfons coming to

bridge acrofs a river, which were brought to the
houfe, fuppofing 'hem to have belonged to a perfon
who had drowned himfelf ; and-in one of the pockets
the key of Mr. Dewar's fmall beer cellar was found.
—No difcovery was made of the thief at that time,
though tome fufpicion attached to the prifoner, from
the eircumftance of Come of the clothes found the day
after the robbery being thought to belong to the
prifoner.
On the 24217 of June, the groom's room over the
liable was brs4 into, and a numbeC of articles taken
away belonging to Petty and Boyle, the grooms.—
Petty's chelt had been forced open with a pitchfork;
but the things belOnging to Boyle were lying through

vered; but, on the 27th, Petty and Boyle went to
leek the prifoner, on whom fufpicion again fell. They
went firll to Ford, where, in the houfe of James Pride
change•ketper, Boyle found his hat, which the pri
toner had fold, on the evening of the 24th, to Mrs.
Pride, for fifteen (billings. That they proceeded on
their fearch to Haugh-head, and, in the houfe of
Francis Ales, change-keeper, Petty found Tome of
his clothes, but left them, and proceeded to Black-
fisields : That he met the prifoner there, and had Tome
drink with him ; and, while he was proceeding to get
him apprehended, he ran out of the houfe, and was
taken in a field, put into a chaife, which brought him
to Vogrie Houle ; from thence he was taken firtt to
Dalkeith, and afterwards to Edinburgh : That when

pair of wor tied Itockings belonging to Boyle,iu which
drefs he was brought to Edinburgh, and examined
beforejthe Sheriff. And, both in his declarations and
on the road to town, he admitted having committed
both robberies. Petty got moll of his clothes back,
but loft a five pound note and fome filver.

day evening after leaving Pride's, went to Ales's
at Haugh.head, where he (laid Rill the day he was
apprehended, and only left it a Short time befere Mr.
Dewar's fervants came in fearch of him. The ac-
count that he gave of himfelf to Mrs. Ales was, that
he had quarrelled with his brother, who was a mill-
wright on Leith Walk ; but that he repented of that;
and was going back to him again. Mrs. Ales de-
tained his bundles, becaufe he had not paid his reck-
oning.
