.olon-nnt believe, that; at the age of eleven years,
;very girl, as well as yourself, possesses the same
purity of mind and innocency of manners? I do
sappoie so. Then why should you impute to this
young lady an impurity of conduct that you never
experienced? I heard it. You saw nothing to induce
your opinion to so severe a censure ? I saw nothing.
You SAW the young lady when her father brought her
to the jaunting-car ? Yes—her hair was-dishevelled,
and she was shrieking. rs it hot natural•to suppose
her hair was dishevelled from the rough treatment of
her father ?It might be so. Was she not dressed in
a frock ? She was. Such as children wear ? Yes.
—Yon were intimate, and kept company with the
family ? Yes.---You knew young Salmon ? Yes.—
I that the lad standing there behind the large era-
vat ? It is. —Now, on that day his neck was open ?
It was.—His shirt collar over his coat? It was. He
was a school; boy, under the tutelage of your hus-
band ? Yes.—And'remained at your school after ?
Yes.—Go off the table, madam ; though you came
for the purpose, you have said nothing that can stain
Miss Madden's character, or set up your brother's.
John Young examined by Mr. Jorterros, Witness,
said, he believed he was about 18 years of age:---1
knows the plaintiff, and has been acquainted with her
two years and seven months : did not know Mr.
M'Egan, the defendant, until tionday last : the
plaintiff, when the witness first knew her, lived in,
Hendrick-street,: witness was an apprentice in
G.angegormandane : had seen the plaintiff at his
master's house, but not insides she had come there:
the acquaintance between them.commenced in conse-
quence of witness knowing an apprentice girl belong-
i ig to Mrs. Madden ; he, had been in the country,
and had procured some fruit, and he saw the appre i-
tice, and gave her some of the fruit, and also gave
the plaintiff some : was never introduced to the fa-
mily, but the plaintiff used to call to the house of
witness's master, on purpose to take him away from
his work ; this was about two years and a half ago;,
he was acquainted with her some time before he
came to the house ; when she came, the witness said
he could not go with her till his work was finished
recollects he did go, but she was ordered up to bed ;
she was waiting for him at the window ; she saw him
through the wincidw; .and raised it ; says she, ".my
dear, what kept you so long ?" I told her I had
"finished my work, and could not come down sooner :
she then said, a My darling, will I take a lover's
leap to you ?" Her attachment, however, was not
SQ strong as to leap down : witness saw her different
evenings after that, in presence of other persons—
girls belonging to the house : the first evening he saw
her, 'she asked him into the house to drink tea : about
a year and five months ago, saw her one evening at,
the rails of her father's house ; she got on them, and
began to sing—a 011! take me to, your arms, my
love ;" and, after she sang the verse, she threw her
pelf into my erms—this was at the door : aftA- e
family had rem )ved to Angles m-strett I w a a airs
in her con:p my ; at the house of one Dunn, it. ar
'wen- Amer with some oth r females, one than
'Mar..,,aret Murray, and Murtagh Glum, where ey
held some punch.
Cross-examined by Mr. GREEN.
Had n 3 acquaintance either with the father or the
Adler of the plaintiff. Was not served with a sub-
pPna until Saturday last ; never spoke to the defen-
'dant until last Monday.
Margaret Murray examined by Mr. RIDGEWAY,
said, that she had been apprentice to the plaintiffs
mother ; she swore to having been at Dunn's house,
drinking punch, with the last witness and the Plaintiff.
On her cross-examination by Mr. Jsnn, she ac-
knowledged that the plaintiff's father had, through
'charity, taken her an apprentice, without fee, had
fed her, and given her shoes ; had taken her sister as
an apprentice, without .fee, and received her mother
into the house as a servant, who had since left tha t
ii:uation, and wras now in the employment of die de-
fendant's Mother ; she denied having ever told Mr.
Wharton, the attorney, that she knew nothing dero-
gatory or disrespectful to the character or condtice of
the plaintiff or her mother.
On the part of the plaintiff, Mr. Wharton was ex-
amined by Mr. Goorn. He swore that he hid ap-
plied to the last witness, and had distinctly asked
her what was her knowledge of the demeanour of
Eliza Madden ? and that she informed him she did'
not know any thing disrespectful of her.
Mr. Salmon, examined by Mr. MNALLT, said, he
believed he was now about eighteen years of age, and
is the son of the first witness. Knows Miss Madden,
land was in her company on a particular occasion at
Hudson's demesne about five years ago. No impro-
per familiarity took place either on that or any
other occasion between him and the defendant.—
Witness was on that day chastised by his father far
leaping over a wall, then havinga sore leg. Wit-
ness, his sister, and plaintiff, were absent • from the'
company for abort five minutes—the car was wait-
ing for them. He heard Mr. Maiden calling them;
he leaped the wall asheing the shorter way to the
cars—the plaintiff and:his .sieser went down the path.,
Nothing, at any time whatever, passed betweeh him
and the plaintiff.
This witness was cross-examined by Mr. Qurii.
He said, he never heard, until about a fortnight ago,,
that a carman had said he had seen him and Miss
Madden in 'an improper situation.
The case having here closed on both ' sides, Mr.
Gootts,in an elegant and impressive appeal to the
feelings of the, Jury, fathers, and brothers, observed
on the defence set up by the defendant, and called'
upon them to give exemplary damages.
The LORD CHILE BA,RON, in his charge to the Jury
observed, that they had three matters-for their consi-
deration. First they were to consider whether such
a contract, as that set tip by the plaintiff, had been
entered into by the defendant. Secondly—if they
believed that, whether the defendant had broken
through it. And lastly, under all the eirannsiances
of the case, what damages the plaintiff was entitled
,to for studs conduct ? In considering thelatter point,
the Jury should recollect, that they hadAo determine
en the property of the defendant, and Mt site charac-
ter of the plaintiff ; they were both Involved in the
consideration. That a contract had been entered in-
to, appeared in the letter addressed to the plaintiff ;
.and whether it was broke:allot be determined py
a perusal of the sec Ono. ; urithhotitaving
'recourse' tp parole testimony, the Jury might b atis-
fled thezdefendant had entered into a contract4simar=

mama. There could be no dOubt that it is the

the contract—net after.- His I.ordihip
understood to say, that circumstances mi;
.swards come to the kno.wledge of a man,
Lemke it imprudent in him to complete '
but, in point of lair, nothing :-..td bean urged in the
t case, that could absolve the defilndant fron
's contract : therefore there ought to be a verXiat
for the plaintiff; but a material consideration re.
wined, and that .waf the amount of the damage;
because, if, after the defendant had entered into the
contract, he had discovered circumstances, so stro:.;
and potent in their nature, as to induce a trian of
reasonable and rational mind to suspect the worm:,
lin
though it would uot go to defeat the action ; yet ..t.
ought to be thrown into the consideration of .the JL., ~-.
when they came to estimate the amount of dattrai.7.-:=.
His Lordshii, then commented upon the svideoct.
and observed, it did not appear that any fact occurrtei
i between the defendant writing the letters to jestit!
his breach of promise. By the defence, the drifead...r.:
had recourse to the investigation of the plaintiff's
conduct from her infancy; and endeavoured to extract
from the whole of her lite a sufficient justification.—
If the Jury feel the case, as proved, they were lriaunil
to give such a verdict as would make reparation ; in
doing which "they should be directed by their ju,!:-f.
ment, and not by their feelings ; and they sllowd
i make reparation to the one party, Without d0in,,.., i:.
