THE RING V. HOIIFR•

l In the town of Bridgnnrth, in Shropfhire, lived
the Defendant, Captain Holier, and his lady the
Honourable Mrs. Holler. In the fame town lived
Mrs. Bolton, the widow of a banker, her daugh-
ter, Marianne, and her fon, Grey Edward. Ile-
tween the two families there had been fomc rnif-
underflanding, and being invited together one
evening to play at s ingtun at the parent's, their fe-
eret averlion broke out into open warfare. After
the company had partaken of an elegant (upper,
and it began to grow late, Nits. Bolton rote to bo
gone. Mrs. Honer faid the thought Mrs. Bolton
might remain a little longer ; but the pleaded the
hour, and refilled to refurne her feat. The Defen-
dant then got into a high pa:lima, ar..ed who era
was, and what right the h.t,l to break up the party
fo abruptly ? " If my poor dear hufband were
alive, (Wei Mrs. B.) you would not dare to inft;lt
me in this manner, Sir." "It your hutband were
here, (repl'ed the Captain), I would kick him to
the door." After fame more altercation, too coarfe
to he repeated, Mrs. Horton went away, faying.,

to jind (.4fain or Airs. Th efe words fui
deep into the mind of the Captain, and he
took the molt ungallant and unwarrantable
means to vent his liken. He firft wrote a letter
to Mrs. 111.1 Mils Bolton, infirang that thef
eiould immediatjy come and beg rardon of
him, and " the Honourable Mrs. H:;fler." Find-
in- that he was to r fceivc no aufwer, he wrote
a f;•conci, in which he gave a pretended hillory
of tire mother, full of the met virulent abate,
and acciifed the daughter of various indifere-
(ions. A copy of the letter, he added, he ihoul.l
communicate to every body he knew in Bridg-nortl..
—Mr. Grey Edward Bolton was at this time in
the country, but returned home loon after. As
loon as Captain Hofer hcaril of his arrival, he
wrote him a Liter, natio: the infult he had receir-
est, and calling upon him to compel his mother and
tiller to come and afk pardon of him and "the Ho-
nourable Mr Holier." If he did not comply
with this demand, he inflited upon receiving the
faticfaetion of a gentleman. Mr. G. E. Bolton,
he cont,nds, being at the head of the family, v .ts
undon'itedly refpor.fiblc for the acts of every mem-
ber of it. St:11 his expottitlations were unnoticed.
His rage was railed by this contemptuous treat-
ment to the highell pitch, and h: wrote again to
Mr. Bolton, denouncing him as a coward, a (Conn-
drcll, and a Ularkgoard. Tilde proceedings took
play: in Sepiemi,er tBOO, and Michaelmas Term
