SHERIFF'S COURT, APRIL 3.

CON.---.-MARTJS 9. ►OA)OY.
This was a writ ofenquiry of damages executed
before the Sheriff, in an a6lion wberein William
Martin was plaintiff, and Fortelcue Pobjoy de-
fendant ; it was to recover damages for criminal
converlation with the plaintiff's wilc. The de-
fendant had fulTercd judgment by default. There
were no Omni;; employed, but the Attorney for
the plaintiff that his client was a matter
taylor of credit and refpeEtability, and had about
ten years ago married his prefent wife,thenLouila
Ikayley, by whom he had feven children, the
youngeil of whom was fix months old ; he had
always lived with her upon the moll affetaionate
terms, till unfOrtunately about a twelvemonth ago
he reci_ived the defendant into his houfe in the ca-
pacity of foreman.
The defendant was a young man of good ap-
pearance and addrefs, and though the plaintiff did
not lot look time perceive any alteration in his
wife's conJuft towarJs him,it was vilible to every
one elle, that the defendant was the objea of her
partiality and regard. His jcaloufy was at length
alai mcd, but was never fully confirmed till Cbrill-
'Has eve lan, when, having (pent the evening with
a party of friends, at a public-houfe in the neigh-
bou• hood, he felt himklf unwell and returned
home at a much earlier hour than he had given
his wife reafon to expea him; he knocked feveral
times at the door of his honfe without gaining ad-
mittance, and when he was at lall let in, he dike).
vered evident marks of confufion in the counte-
nance of his wife. He a(ked her if (he had any
perfon with her, and what was the reafon the had
kept him fo long at the door? She anfwered him
in the negative, but equivocated and faultered in
fuel► a manner that he was convinced of her infi-
delity. He immediately tilled up the maid-fer-
vant, and threatened to carry her before a juilicts,
and put her in prifon if the did not tell him wbo
had been with her rnifirefs.

The girl terrified at his threats, confeffed that
Mr. Pobjoy, the defendant, had (upped with her,
and that they had been locked tip in the bed-room
for upwards of two hours. He returned to his
wife, who fell at his feet, acknowledged her guilt,
and entreated his forgivenefs. He demanded where
Pobjoy was, and upon being informed he was in
his own room, the plaintiff railed up fairs with a
poker in his hand, and bugling open his door,
found he was not gone to bed, but was ill dreffed;
be taxed him with his treachery and (truck him a
fevae blow, svhich broke his arm. The plaintiff's
rage having fubficied, he called in his neighbours,
a furgeon was fent for, who fet the defendant's
arm, and the plaintiff's wife was allowed for that
night to fleep with the maid-fervant. The next
morning he fent her away from his houfe.
Thefe falls were proved by the maid-fervant,
who fated that Ow defendant and her mittrefs
were continually together in the abfence of her mar-
ten She had no doubt whatever of a criminal
intimacy fublilling betwe,:n them.
The defendant's Attorney urged in extenuation
of damages, the feriuus injury the defendant had
(attained by the fraCture of his arm, which had in.
capacitated him from'following his Winds, and
put him to confiderable expence.
The Under Sheriff obferved, that the defendant
might think liimfelf extremely fortunate the blow
he had received had not been attended with worfe
confequences ; had it occasioned his death, the
plaintiff would not by law have been anfwerable.
The Jury would fay what compenfation the plain-
tiff was entitled to for the feduaion of his wife,
with whom he had lived happily fo many years.—
The Jury gave their verdiet for the plaintiff, with
thirty pounds damages.
