The objen of this trial was to examine the validity
of a deed fet up by a Mr. Bowes, which was cum*
ed by,,the late Counters of Strathmore and his wife.'
in the year 173 i four years fubfequent to this mar-
riage, affigning in troll for his ufe, a third part of
certain eßates, the fee fimpic of which fhe
as heirefs of her father. This deed was brought for-
ward, for the firtt time, by Mr. Bowes, in the year
170, it having been previoolly mieffd, and he had
made it the ground of a petition to the Court of Chan*
cery, praying an order to be paid the ilfues and
profits due to him in arrears, upon the laid elates.
It was alicked, however, on the part of Lord Strath-
more, that it was obtained by durefs and tetror, and
therefore not valid.
Mr. Serjeant Coccte, for Lord Strathmore, in a
fpeech of two hours, Rated the cafe, and went thro'
all the charges he engaged to prove againit Mr.
Bnwes, of ct uelty to the Countefs—to fupport which
the adduced a number of living witnefics, and the
melted depofitions of dead ones.
Mr. Serjeant Likes was heard in reply, but brought
no evidence to contradia thole charges, but merely
argued that they did not invalidate the deed.
The Learned Judge, Sir Jas. Mawsristo, thought
the cafe fo plain as not to feel it neceffary to rum up
the evidence for the Jury. who almott immediately
found a verdiQ againtt Mr. Bowes.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 14.
NAM O. TOOV KY.
This was an affirm to recover the fine of aft 44.
for the amount of board and lodging, and other et-
pences, far the flipprat of the Defendant's wife dur-
iq a period of twelve weeks, at the rate of two
guineas per week, which the Defendant refufed to
defray, on the ground of his having exiled her from
his bufe for grofs adobe,.
The Plaintiff is a carpenter, not in the molt anent
eircumilances, reliding in the village of Edgewarz,
and the Defendant is a very opulent mealman and
miller, refitting at Ringttangley, where he is univer•
tally refpated by a numerous circle of friends and
acquaintance. He had been married twice ;by the
firß wife he had two lons and a daughter, who were
noss all living ; he married his fecond wife, who is
a very young a omen,. when he himfelf was confider-
ably advanced in years ; however, they lived loge.
ther for a coo fiderable number of yeas's, in a Teeming
date of conjugal happineft and comfort, till the year
when a very near relation of the Plaintiff's
put a period to his happinefs, by blatting his tumour,
and defiroying his family comfort during the remain-
der of his exiltenee ; a relation, whom he almott con-
fidered as a fon, and the lad perfon in the world he
conceited could be guilty of abuting, his confidence,
and wounding him in fo knfible a pornt.
Mr. 'loony's profeffional avocations requiring his
attendance once a fortnight in London to attend the
markets, rendered it neceffary that he timid deep
from home on that night, in order to be better able
at be IA the fpot in time to do his bufincfs more con•
veniently. This night, which always fell on a
Monday, afforded an opportunity to his wife and her
paramour (Who is hie nephew) of gratifying their vici.
ous inclinations. This young man was in the habit of
('pending a contiderab:e time in the family of the De.
kndant, and was always treated with a great deal of
attention and kindirefs on the part of the Defendant,
bbi whether by feduftion on his parr or that of the
Defendettes wife, a mutual underttanding took place
between them, and their condult became fo glating,
that it antra led the attention of the domeflics, and
excited their enrinfity, and from their obfovations
the proofs of the fifis wtte clearly eftablithed.
Elisabeth Potter and Sarah Vincent, fervents in
the ferviee of Mr. Totriey, proved; that on the 16th
of December, 1006, being Monday, Mr. Toovey'a
nephew and their mittrefs dined together, and that
akin nine o'clock in the evening he went away :
after he irbrit away the hall door wad left open, and
T. ordered elk former fervent to light a fire in
her bed room (which wig a very unufbal thing) and
likewife tb pot clean Meets on the bed. The next
Morning, when the fervent' were making their
rainier,'" bed, there was every appearance of two
perfolis having flept in it, likewife a great deal of
mod and dirt about the bedfide carpet, and prints of
fboes and boots, and appearances in general fufficient
to convince then! of fome roan having flept there.—
Aboufa month afterwards they had llronger pioofs
of the its& of dub- Miftrefs. One of the witneffes was
in, i cellar jrill under the parlour window, about ten
'o'clock of a Monday night, When the heard a man

however, fee enough of him to identify his perfon.—
She immediately retired frOm the cellar,and followed
up'flair', whin the heard diftinitly on the Rain the
' foothips of two perfon:, and one of which teemed to
be the found of a Ilan% blot, and the other a (Ott
found like that of a Woman's foot. She then retired
'for the night, and in the morning the examined her
titiftiefs'i bed room, and nbferved the fame symptoms
