A SECOND LETTER IN THE SAME STRAIN.

The remainder of this letter, and other letters read,
presented a ludicrous mixture of fondness and atten-
t;on to Business-- of raptures and humus ous common
place, which called torth ptids of laughter during
the reci,auon. •

The treaty continued with every publicity—pic-
tures eschar.ged, and clothes ordered ; but about
Easter latt a wholly broke off, and Mr. Gannon po-
s:tively rinsed to fulfil die awful contract thus en-
tered e'.ito ith the unfortunate Miss Kelly, who was
tin.6,.ir the painful necessity of bringing the present
tion.

The evidence for the plaintiff consisted of Mr.
Cannon's letters; also of the Rev. Richard Fitzge-
rald, the parish priest ; Mr. Jonas Scott, one of the
society of Friends ; and Mr. George Gannon, the
eldest son of the defendant. Upon their close exa-
mination it appeared, that the defendant had told
them that he had made the promise to Miss Kelly,
only upon condition that her debts should be com-
pounded ; and the witnesses seemed entirely of ()pi-
nion, that the intended marriage would have been
grossly imprudent in a man of the defendant's age
and indifferent constitution.

The defence admitted Miss Kelly's merits and ex-
cellent conduct, but rested upon the evidence of three
medical gentlemen, respecting the defendant's in-
firmities.

However, as " Doctors will differ," these witnesses
left the question still doubtful.

Dr. Pereeval had attended him from November,
1809, to June, 1812, when Mr. Gannon recovered,
and the Doctor's visits then ceased. The Doctor
gave his evidence with peculiar phraseology; stated
his different prescriptions—the ingredients, mercury,
digitalis, &c. the diet used, the occasional symptoms,
with as perfect technicality as if entironed Ly all the
science of Edinburgh.
Mr. Gootu.—" Well, Doctor, I dare say you dosed
this old gentleman to his heart's content?"
Doctor.—" Probably, Sir; but not more than I
thought necessary."
Mr. Goor.D.—" Pray, Doctor, had he not a severe
dropsy ?" • •
Doctor." Did I not already tell you, Sir, that
he had anasarcous symptoms all ali,tig ?"
Mr. G Yes, Doctor; but the Jury, king
mostly of Aldermen, did not Understand one half of what
you said."
However, the Doctor stated candidly, that he did
not think that rnarri.ige wonld necessarily be preju-
dicial to Mr. Gannon—possibly it might prove other-
wise:

Dr. Colles was less prorx, but appenred to think
marriage might prove purl to the defendant.
Mr. Halliday, an apothecary, went a step farther,
and was decidedly hostile to the man iage, without a
particle rf doubt respecting the consequences.
The CHIEF BARON, in charging the Jury, consi-
dered the promise of marriage as sufficiently proved
by the 1• tiers. As to the condition of Miss Kelly's
comp, unding ith the creditors, it was natural that
Mr. Gannon should give it out in that way, in orc2r
to obviate any 'difficulties in the way of such compo-
sition, so as that he should afterwards have the less
to pay ; but he remarked that no such condition v. as
stipulated by his letters. Next, it the defendant had
since, by the act of God, f%llen into a situation unfit
for marriage, he thouiht it a bar to the action ;
but the Jury were to decide bets, een the Doci,ii s
upon this questiim. As for damages, they should. give
Miss Delay sn..:l) a sum, as we wel be sufficient to
compensate for the loss of such a husband ; and ac-
cordingly the measure must rest wholly with their
judgment.
The .Jury, after half an hour's consultation, re-
turned with a verdict for damages,
and costs of suit.

one of them, the marriage was deemed int•ga!, and
