LAI?' INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 16.
STUART O. LER.
This was an aaion brought by the Father of a
young girl who bad been debauched by the Defen-
dant under a promife of marriage. It appeared her
credulity had been impofed upon by an alfurance
of the Defendant's honourable intentions, and the
confequence was, the birth of a child. The De-
fendant reiterated his promifes, and the father was
induced to take a bottle for the reception of his
daughter and his espeaed fon-in-law, whore vilits
be flill continued to fanaion. The Defendant, un-
der
various pretences, pre-ulnae:l the nuptial en-
gagcment, when the birth of a fecund child con:
linseed the Plaintiff his daughter was the viaim of
feduaion.
Lord Atvem Lev informed the Jury, that the
Taw did not give a father an aaiun for the injury to
his feelings occaftoned by the feduition of a daugh-
ter, and that the only redrefs he had was by an
aftion for the lofs of thole Cervices a. parent may
command from his child while living in his houfet
however, in flagrant cafes, when bafe fedueers,
under a folemn promife of marriage, have betrayed
. and ruined an unfortunate girl, Juries have dually
(although not tlrialy entitled by Law to do Co)
taken into their confideration the whole injury fur-
tained, and given damages in proportion. This
was a praaice which (although not ftrialy war-
ranted by the law) was not oppofed by judges,
and no fuels verdias had been feu afule for exor-
bitant damages ; this was,• however, a cafe of a
diffeaeut nature. The father, for a length of time
after he knew of the defendant's cooncaion with
his daughter, fuffered him to be a militant victor
in his bode, and byetpoling his daughur to a fe-
toad misfortune from the fame man, had not
taken that care of his daughter's virtue; which an
honourable parent is bo end to do ; he neither
preffed the Defendant to marriage, nor brought
his anion till three years had ebpred ; he was.
therefore, only entitled to fuch damages as he had
really fußained by the Defendant's depriving bim
for a time by his all of the Cervices of his daughter.
As there were two counts in the declaration,
which Rated feparately the injuries received each
time the Plaintiff's daughter became pregnant by
the Defendant, the Jury gave 51 damages, on the
Er* count, and is. on the fecund.
HUDSON 111. sveniiioust..
The Plaintiff, who was a waggoner, brought
this adiop apinft the Defendant, a wealthy far-
mer, at Lce,in Kent, to recover damages for an
affault. The Plaintiff, it appeared, was walking
by the fide of his team, when the Defendant rode
furioully by him, and his bockbrufhing him as it
paffed, puffsed him into a ditch by the road fide.—

mg hiss and threatened if he returned to beßow
on hint the chatifement he merited. The Defen-
dant did return, and (truck the Plaintiff violently ,
with a Rick, and repeated his blows till the Plain-
tiff was extremely bruifed and hurt—for this injury

This was an anion for the value of goods wrong-
fully feized and fold, under an execution againl
the goods of a man named Wright.
The plaintiff is a gentleman, who lives much
out of town, but rents a room in the honk of
Wright, in St. James's•Rreet, which he furnifiled
hirnfilf. While he was in the country,. his furni-
ture was feized and fold, under an execution
again ft Wright ; to recover the value of which he
brought this anion. The defendants proved, by
a number of witneffes, that plaintiff's attorney had
at brit, claimed as the goods of the plaintiff, a
number of articles, which did not belong to him,
but which Wright had got from the flops of diefe
witneffes, upon-his promife of payment for them. '
Upon this evidence it was attempted to canna
the plaintiff with thofe tranfaaions of Wright,
and to induce the Jury to infer that the claim of
the plaintiff was altogether fraudulent, and that
none of the goods fazed really belonged to him.
This defence entirely failed, as no other ecmneaion
appeared Memo the plaintiff and Wright, but as
lodger and landlord. .
The Lesesedjudge told the Jury, that although
the plaintiff had sated very improperly in endea-
vouring to &Teen the property of Wright, Rill he
was entitled to a .versba for the value of what was
realty liis own^properm;fold under this execution.

'the plaintiff Roffey, in this cafe, had been for-
merly ballet-matter to Drury-lane Theatre, and
had agreed with the mother of the defendant, who
was then a minor, to take her apprentice for three
years, to intim% her in the bufinefs of the Sage,
And to procure hkr theatrical engagements, for
which he was to have half her falary. At the
end of the fecond year, the plaintiff and the de-
fendant were both difeharged from Drury•lane
Theatre. Since that period he had given her no
inaruaions, nor had he procured her any other
theatrical engagement. Mifs Richer bad, howe-
ver, procured &deli' an engagement at Drury-
lane 'Theatre, with ofalary of ats. per week, and
the plaintiff, by this ation claimed to hive half
of tLit falary for the lad feafon, amounting to
41 A
receipt was produced in evidence, by which
it appeared that the plaintiff had received eight
guineas from the mother of the defendant, as a
premium for inftruaing her daughter in the burr
nets of the Rage, and that he was to provide
her with theatrical engagements for three years,
Staring half her falary.
Mr. Glass, on behalf of the Defendant, raid,
his Clients never wifhed to evade their contrail,
but that it was broken by the Plaintiff himfelf, in-
afinuch as be failed to provide her with an engage-
ment, and neglelted to continue his inftruaions.—
He then took. tome legal objeetions. He raid the
cowrie had not been between the Plaintiff and
Defendant, but between the Plaintiff and Defen-
dant's mother, confequently the aaion ought to
have been brought againft the mother, and not
againft the daughter. He next objetted that the
apptenticefltip was not valid, unless under inden-
tare, not was that indenture good, unlefs duly
Ramped. Here was no proof of any indenture
whatever, even fuppofing the Defendant herfelf to
be a contraaing party.
Mr. Etsitine, on the other hand, contended,
that the teceipt__ was a fufficient evidence of the
"agreement. With refpea to the brrlcli of that
agreement, he did not conceive the Plaintiff bound
to provide the Defendant with engagements fur-
ther than to recommend her. • _ •

Mr. jullice Lawasacs Paid, the firft queftion
was, whether the agreement was made with the
Defendant or her mother ? next, whether the De-
fendant was legally apprenticed ? and again, whe-
ther fuck an engagement was made as entitled the
Plaintiff to half the Defendant's falary ; and whe-
ther be had performed his part of the contra& ?
Having _ftated his opinion on theta points in favour
of the Defendant, the jury gave a verdia the fame
