-We have received a private letter from Bom-
bay, by the lag exprefs, which informs us, that
the DISPATCH, Captain Hu romans, is fafely
arrived there with a cargo of fugar, from Cochin
China. The Captain Rates, that the King had
;filled an ediB, by which free ingrefs into all the
ports of Cochin China had been granted to all'
Englifh vefTels, with exemption from port charges,
and duties of every defcription. This exclufive
mark of favour to Englifh Tads is Paid to have
been principally occafioned by the favourable im-
preffion of the national charaaer, communicated
by fome emigrant French Officers and banifhed
Priefts, who had entered into the fervice, and re-
ceived proteaion of the Government of Cochin
China. The rebellion which had long exited in
that country continued to oppofe fome refinance
to the regular authority, but decided advantages
had lately been obtained by the latter, which pro-
mifed to bring the conteft to a fpeedy termination.
We are concerned to Rate the lots of the Hon.
Eaft India Company's armed tranfport, the REAL
FIDILLISSMO, Captain LIPPIATT, in her'paffiage
to Mocha, with his Majefty's fioth regiment, from

ree, with his wife and family, and feveral other
Ladies and Gentlemen, in all feventeen perfons,

dentally upfet below Culpee, when Mrs. Jacnson's
mother and filler were unfortunately drowned;
and the remaining fifteen, after enduring unparal-
leled hardfhips, and kill on the eve of perithing,
were providentially faved by the exertions of a
poor delaying fifherman and his boat's crew.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY as.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
HAND V. !LISTEN.

Mr. Serjeant Cocas,. limed, that his client was
a young Lady who fought rediefs for one of the
moil cruel injuries that could be offered to her fex.
She 'elided at Harbro' with her brother, a refpe&-
able tradefman in that town. The Defendant was
put apprentice to Mr. Hand, and in the courfe of
fome years a mutual affeetion fprung up between
him and Mifs Hand. An ecclaircifemeni at Jail took
place, and the lovers vowed eternal conftancy.—
The term of the Defendant's apprenticethip was
now nearly expired, and he refolved to try his for-
tune in London. After a tender parting he ac-
cordingly fet out. Mill Hand was much depreffed,
and her fears of the dill pation of the metropolis
proved to have been prophetic. For fome time,
however, he remained true to his promifes. He
wrote her affeeionate letters, and having teen her
r once in town, he tellified all the fondnefs for her
which had formerly marked his pallion when at its
height. But when he ought to have led her to the
altar he forgot his plighted troth, and drew hack
from his facred engagement. She was thus difap-
pointed in her views of future happinefs, and held
up to the ridicule of all her acquaintance. The
learncdSerjeant added many other particulars,and
defcribed in the moil glowing terms the ill ufage
which Mifs Hand had received.

The evidence confined chiefly of the letters'Which
the Defendant had wrote from London to his rnif-
trefs at Ha: bill'. There occafioned infinite merri-
ment. In the firft place they difclofed the fait that
Mr. Killen was, a journeyman tallow chandler. In
painting the ardour of his attachment he likewife
borrowed many terms from his art. Although it
appeared that he was not always in a inching mood,
he talks of his foul being difolved, of being ,tpped in
wretchednefs ; of his heart being call in a delicate
mould, of theflore of happinefs which lie conceived
was awaiting him ; of his love turning clear; of his
liver being confumed like the with of a candle; of
his fears left her paflion died away like the
_fame in
the locket of a Calftkila, &c. &c. There was one
palfitge which afforded peculiar amufement, as it
reminded every one of the (tile of a noble Marquis
who, after painting the ardour of his paffion, (lops
fuddenly Ilion to defcant upon the Price of wheat

in Reading market. " My love, Car Mr. Killen),
my angel, my Hand, when !hall we be j,ined .u.
gether, and nnx like wax and fpermacdi ? By the ye
I have bad news far your brother. 'fallow is as
high as ever, and at piefent there is a profved f
its riling higher hill. As Inch he cannot do better
than buy any that comes in his way."
The firft letters of the feries, dated from Ifling-
ton, were in the molt affeCtionate and nr:qiiig
terms, containing many obil.rvations on tilt: iiiiioa
of hearts, and the rcquilites for donictiie happi-
nefs, exactly limilar to thole of R0'111.4:411, th,.ugh
expreffed in language not quite fo refilled, which
(hews that a tallow-chandler may be a pliihtlipher,
and a man of feeling. Prudence did not feem to
be quite loft in love, for the delzndant, being then
but a journeyman chandler, talked of buying the
' bufinefs of a Mr. Weilfen, in the fame line ; Mr.
WeilF.n agreed to let him have the bufinefs for
I got. ; but Mrs. Weiffen wilhed to ctirtintte in hu.
tines a year longer, and the bargain went ()E—
-lle late unhappy war too, which has been a caufe
of afflietion to to many others, contributed to the
difappointment of Mifs Hand, for one of the let-
ters mentions that the defendant's intention of
purchafing a fluip and bufinefs, prep.tr..tory to his
union with this then partner of his love, was re-
tarded by the influence of the czar, in the clepref-
lion cf bank flock, in which part of his ploperiy
was veiled.

In 1799 the defendant wrote to Mils Hand, that
IC had direEtcd his mother to call on her mother to

tittle the conditions of the intended unt.m. His

father, he fail, would have nothing to do in :he
affair ; awl if his mother thotild nutae ally Jai-
ctilty with tefpeet to the lady's fortune, tie de-
clans, with the dilinteteilednefs of a true he it led
°over, that he will have Mifs 11 oul, whatever her
fortune may be. It wa♦ not !fated whether this
interview between Goody Hand and Goody
ten had taken place; hut thortly after the period
that was fixed for it, a conliderable change was
obferved in the correfpondencc. The defendant's
letters were fent much lefs frequently ; and, in-
flead of beginning, as in the earlier years of his
love, " My dear Mifs Hand," " My dear Mary,"
and " My dear love," they began with the rude,
hat fh, and fin mal expreffion " Mils Hand." The
&II letter of this form contained fome rebukes to
the lady, for having (hewn former letters, denials
nfhaving received letters faid to have been fent by
her, and fome confolations relative to her future
date, (he having reprefented all her profpeels in
life as being deftroyed by the defendant. Some
time before this letter was written, the plaintiff
having fufpicions of the defendant's conflancy, had
come I.i> to town to have conic explanation ; the
remai►led for a week at her brother's houfe, a tat-
low.chandler, in Brick-lane, Where the defendant
faw her frequently, and behaved very civilly to
her. Immediately on her return to the country
after this excurfion, the had a letter, in which the
intended union was again ferioufly mentioned, the
former profellions of love were renewed, and the
was def►red to inform her brother, Mr. Hand, of
Hat borough, that tallow war not likely to gel cheaper.
It was under the imprellion of this kind letter that
Mils Hand was Blocked with two fucceffive letters
of the nature recently delcribed, and thortly after
the had the mortifying intelligence, that the de-
fendant had received the hand of another lady in
marriage.
The handwriting was proved by Mary Hand,
wife of Hand, of 13rick-lane, chandler, the

brother to the plaintiff, with whom the defendant
finifhed his apprenticefhip. This withers Paid Mifs
Hand was about the age of 35 years, and the de-
fendant nearly the fame age. On being more
dole!), queftioned by the defendant's Counfel, the
would not undertake to (wear pofitively that the
defendant was above twenty-five. The man iage
of the defendant with a Lady of the name of Betty
Porter, in the church of St. Andrew's, Holborn,
on the sth of Antal, 18ot, was proved frunt the
regifter of that parish.
The good conduct and charaler of Mifs Hand
were proved by one of her neighbours.
Thomas Mun, a mealman, from Pentonville,
(wore, the Defendant told him in converhition, that
he had paid betweenthree and four hundred pounds
for the bufinefs and flock in trade, at the place
where he lives in Hyde•ftreet, Bloomfbitry, that
he could command 2001. more, and that he was
to get 5001: by his wife.
No evidence was called on the defence.

Mr. Serjeant Barr, the Defendant's Counfel,
argued, that as the witnefs, Mary Hand, of Brick-
lane, would not fwear politively that the Defen-
dant was now above the age of twenty-five, there
was reafon to fuppofe him under age %%hen this
affair commenced ; and alfo reafon to belilv.e that
Mifs Hand, who was confeffedly long fince arrived
at the years of difcretion, had inveigled the younz
man into the hofinefs before he was able to judge
for himfelf, and contrary to the withes of his pa-
rents, as was evinced by what was laid in one of
the letters, that his father would have nothing to
do in the affair, and that his mother would pro-
bably be diffatisfied with the want of fortune."—
The Learned Serjeant further obferved on the im-
propriety, in cafe the Jury was fatisfied of the fads,
of giving the property of a woman, innocently
united with this man, to repair an injury of which
the was entirely unconfcions.
Lord ALVANLEY commented on the obferva-
tions of the defendant's Connie!, to which he at-
tached very little credit, as no evidence was called
to fupport them, and fuch evidence, if it at all ex-
iffed, mull be in the plaintiff's power. His Lord-
thip obferved to the Jury, that though cafes of this
kind were often very ferious, yet that the prefent
ccu!d fcai cely be confolered of fuch a complexion.
From tit: rup•nre that took place, Mifs Hand could
fcar.ely be lc; pofed to h.Lve been deprived c f
much happinefs. Where the age of the parties
was to unequal, and where there had been no con-
fent of parents, little could be expeett,"
cord and mifery. However, the Lady
with a dilappointment, and was c:rtainl
to Come compenfation. He would nA
point out how large it fhould be.

minutes, found a vcididt fur the plain\
