BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.

COURT OF RINO'S*RSNdR, JAPUATti-V
411STIFIt UPHAM •
thae:-L.Lais was an attion
fora breich.Of proirdie of ittAtriiiiit:' The damages
were laid at £.llOOO, • •
•
Mr..C.Jaw;toirs detailict the circumstances under
which the plitintiftsought to recover. He did so, he
said, with some embarrassment, because he had heard
it rumoured that he should be fortunate if he re-
coveted any damages, or had not a verdict against
him ; although he was sure that, unless the brief was
one mass of falsehood, this rumour was groundless.
The plaintiff was a female who sought damages for
the breach of a contract the most delicate and solemn,
under circumstances strong enough to overcome her
natural reluctance to disclose her wrongs and suf-
ferings. Many years ago the defendant was sent to
England from America, where his father then re-
sided, to be placed at school, and was recommended
to•the notice of the family.of the plaintiff, of whom
.he was a distant relative, He remained at a school
at Bethnal-green for seven years, during which time
he constantly spent his holydays at the house of Mr.
Hester, and received from him all the courtesies, and
more than all, which had been entreated for him by
hisfather. When he left school he removed to Liver-
pool, and left the family in which he had been che-
rished, with expressions of everlasting gratitude.
After an interval of years he came to them again,
with scarcely a shirt to his back or a shilling in his
pocleat, having landed in a state of miserable desti-
tution from Ireland.. He was again received as a re-
lative, lodged and boarded for six months, during
Which he sat daily at their table, and received kind-
nesses which ought never to have been effaced from his
memory. During this period he thought fit to ori-
ginate another claim, which he had also forgotten in
the days of prosperous fortune. He succeeded In
ensnaring the affections of the plaintiff; and being
-very dear to all her relations, he made his proposals
openly, and they were openly accepted. After
some time, he said that his father was dead (whiCh
proved afterwards to be a fabrication), and that,
therefore, be must return to America ; but before he
went, he asked and received a promise from Miss_
Hester, that she would remain single till his return.:
Ile remained abroad for six' or seven years ; but the,
impression he had made on the heart -of the plaintiff
Was strong, and she patiently .waitOd. for hi: arrival..
Meanwhile his father died, and he became pOssessed.
of property to the amount, as would be.preved
from his own declarations, of not: less than twenty
eight thousand pcninds. He now reminded the plain;'
tiff of her promise, which she expressed ler
to perform at any time when he chose to claim
He resumed his visits ; and arrangements for the
wedding were in progress, when he suddenly de-
clared that he had changed his mind, and Would not
marry, as lie intended to lire single for life. This
was filse; but had it been true, it would furnish no
excuse ; for it was the sacred duty. of a man fully to
make up his mind on this point, before he ventured
to trifle with the feelings of a woman. He proposed,
however, to make 'some amends; he said that he
would.give Miss Hester £3OO or £4OO, and would
make her parents comfortable for life. This would
have been poor amends, yet even this he had not given:
and shortly aftdr lie went and martiei the cousin of
the woman on whom he had inflicted this irreparable
injury. What defence could he make now ? Would
he attempt to deny the promises? They would be
proved to have been solemnly made, and as solemnly
confirmed after the lapse of years; and could be fur-
; ther proied by a letter in ais own hand, addreised
' after his marriage to the father of the plaintiff. In
this epistle he expressed his hope that Betsey did not
take his marriage amiss, and concluded by a strange
confusion of ideas—which fortunately did not pro-

Heiatt.'"—(A laugh). Perhaps the Counsel for the de-
fendant might urge the age of the lady as a topic for
: she certainly had grown older since she
ftrst received the addresses of the defendant, and was
:now 36 or 37 years of age; but he would disarm
these sneers by at once consenting that, all romance
should be thrown out of the case; that the Jury
should leave• out of their consideration the afflicted
iseaci, the contempt endured, the hope delayed, the
blighted expectations, and_ should calculate only the
establishment which the plaintiff had loit. But be-
fore-they threw ilio*e topics out of the case, let them
tacit on the feelings of woman, infinitely more la-
cerattkhy such, an injury than those of Man ; whit!'
no commerce with ',Ole world assuaged—which she
etldured in her solitude of sorrows,-shuddering at the
very appeal for redr,ese,, with no thoughts - but those
remerrthrancei which haunted her llielpectres, and
whicklad no world but the ruins of her heart. The
Learned Counsel proceeded.to urge the "•eart fidelity"
with which' his client had awaited the defendant's re-
turn; the dektitntion. amidst which she consented to
.his addresses; and the adiantages' so long hoped for,
of which. he had deprived her. He asked the Jury
to proceed on the maxim of inspired wisdom—" iio
unto others as ye would that they thOnld du to you:'
As to damages, said Litc. Learne4 Counsel, I have
only one word ttit tali to you, and that word is not,
mine—lnspires Wisdom has given you the direction.
Make thit case the case of your own family. . Stip-
pose, for a moment, that this defendant had come to
the dour of any one of you, gentlemen, destitute and
foesorn— that he had appealed to yop as a relative for
rood and raiment and hospitality—that you had not'
turned from his tears, but given.him all your com-
petence afforded—Ahat for month after month he sat
at your board and shared-your welcome ; and even
while he was warmed within the blaze of youi
hearth he set about ensnaring the affections of your

The battle between Harry _Fowler, the Bath weaver, and
„tanas, the Gosport Black, took place yesterday, and lasted
Nee than two hours. Confusion and delay protracted it until
pallet threw a light upon the ring. This battle was for 20
ovrieigns, andit was intended that It should have taken place in
g meadow between Nettlebed and Dorchester, Ozon, but on
Corninboary General marking out the ground for action,
some enemit were found bivouacking there, and helter skelter
Ins the order of the move over eight miles of ground to Acton
Green towards Wycorub. Jones seconded thetßlack, and Ro-
bert performed the same office for Fowler, who was only a few
lss Witter.
The battle was a tedious one at the -commencement front the
Ape's of the men, and in the first three rounds.there was nothing.
but throwing. They lasted a quarter of an hour.
4. The Mack placed a blow on the body, and was floored in
$ cetera or. upon the head, but not heavy.
5. Both got steady, and give and take was the order of the
round. The Black got intemperate, and chewed the first crimson
hue beta can the ivories. He threw his adversary what Tom
Owen calls a cistern-wheeler, and a michievous one.
6,7, and S. The. Black had the best of these rounds, and gave
the falls.
9. 'flit beat fighting round in the battle, both receiving counter
bit; odthe head at meeting, which spun the claret in let-out
form. The combatants broke away front rallies thrice, and on-
rectled at each other again, until both were at a standstill for
wind. The round lasted fourteen minutes, and Fowler was
thrown, and hit in going down, or, as others said, when on the
ground.
Here was as pretty a row in the ring as the London lads could
make. It was broken into, and a cessation of warfare took place,
whilst a Council took half an hour to deliberate, and they decided
*Fair."
Fifteen other rounds were fought, when Fowler won it. The
Back had no chance after the fourteenth round, when he sprained
kis knee, which being the advanced one, spoiled his hitting.
Both had enough for any glutton.

PEDESTRIANISM. • •
Yesterday morning Harris, a runner of Ku* *Celebrity, un.:
&nook to ruts a mile in Ave minutes, in St. latnes's Park, fer a
wager of five sovereigns. The ground was .measured, and he
made a fair start, but when atoms half gray was stopped by a
soldier, wbo sup2used he had ;committed a robbery, mistaking
the cheers of his itietuls for." Stop thief:". ,The wager is in ton-

sequence off.
A match of rather a novel nature was lately {aide . between •
two gentlemen in Glasgow, which was declded on Saturday
an
the Edinburgh and Gliagow roads, near Westcrai2,s. A young
woman from the neighbourhood of Qneensferry was to run t 5
miles against atiy Lanarkshireman. A lad turned out, in honour
of the county, from Dalserf. ror the first eight miles the lady
took the lead, and finished them within the hour, but at this
point her opponent, who had hitherto courteously kept in the
rear, shot past.• Upon this she made a great effort, and resumed
her position in front, but being again passed. the poor seaman
fell down in such distress, that the gentleman who backed her,
lost all ilea of his bet in the apprehension .he had fbr her life.
The lad continued at an unnecessarily quids pace, and completed
the 15 miles in seven minutes within the two hours, having run
the last mile in five minutes. lie bad previously declared that if
be was beat by a woman, he would never again revisit his paternal
mansion. •

Love anti War.t.—Miss Arne Gerald, a very handsome and
very dashingly attired young lad", was brought into Row-street
Office on Wednesday evening last, in a fainting fit, and plated
in a cbair, while a Mr. Barroclough, a student of Lyon's Inn,
-preferred a charge of assault and " annoyance:* as he termed it,
against her.
Mr. Barroclough slated, that he and the fair defendant had
been atremely intimate ; he had, iu fact, been her protector,
bet lately be had reason to believe she had sought another cher
r" hie, and be therefore thought proper to " cut** the acquaintaace.
Since be had dune so, she was constantly annoying him he was
never rife frOm her abuse and importunities. She came to his
chambers at all hours? and created such disturbances, that the
inatoel had been taken up by the Rulers of the Inn, and the con-
sequences might, be very disagreeable to him if she wasted com-
pelled to ditcontinde her visits. He was walking that evening
with a young lady, when the defendant approached and struck
the young lady with such violence as to split her bonnet, and Ishe
afrwards struck hint a hard blow in the face.
Miss Gerald, during this statement, remained in the cftair
with her eyes closed, and apparently quite insensible. She once
et twice appeared to revive for a moment, but again fell into the
tame state, in spite of the remedies that were administered to her.
Mr. Miami nu. told Mr. Ras roclough he was at liberty to g'o
about Lis business as soon as he pleased. The truth of the matter
ins, be bast been enamoured of the young woman as long as it
tinted his mclination, and now be was tired of the amour, and
wanted to get rid of her. Law students and other young gentle-
Men residing in the Inns of Court, had too mach time upon their
'wads and they got into scrapes from which they friend it difficult
to extricate themselves.
Mita Gerald cnntinued in seeming insensibility for at least hit

himself her lover with Mr eanctton. He theft said
he was going over to take poisession of the property
of his deceased father, and solemnly vowed to marry
her on his return. She was very agreeable to it,

the defendant returned, and on the Bth of September
in that year came to my house. He was Much
pleased to see us happy:: He told me, as we were in
a hackney-coach, that he bad a favour to ask—if I'
would let him marry my daughter? I replied, I
would take his offer. He shook my hand, and told
me he would make her happy. He afterwards vi-
sited at my house; and saw my daughter. The next
time he gave me a ten pound note, and my wife a,
one pound note, and said he would pay our rent, and
we should want for nothing as long as we lived. He
I afterwards came to bring me some mere money.
The last time he came, he said that he had changed
his mind, and did not intend to marry. I after-
wards received the 'letter now shewn to me. He
found no fault with my daughter, and gave no rea-
son for not marrying, but that he meant to remain
single for life. .

fendant served on board a man cif war nearly the
whole of his first absence. At the first conversation
about marriage, my wife and myself only were pre-

The defendant, surrounded as he had been by th.
members of this family, could call no witnesses to.,
explain or. contradict any of their assertions, but was
entirely at their mercy. They would perceive, from
the letter which had been read, that he was. a very •
ignorant man ; he had passed the wandering life of
sailor, and was not very likely, in destitution. and in ..
rags, to " ensnare" the affections of a lady who hid, . .
considerably the advantage of him in years. Hos-
pitably entertained, according to their means, by her
family, he was ready,-perhaps,- to return her smiles:
but there was no proof of any blandishments by
which he had obtained her love, or of the singular
hold which he was said to possess oa her affec-
tions. It did not appear that she made any at-.
tempt to prevail• on him to remain in England ;
,he never said, " Marry me before you go ;" she saw
him depart without a murmur, and never held any
correspondence with him in his long absence. Was
her celibacy, then, which had been. so pathetically
deplored, to be attributed to her " rare fidelity," or
to her humble situation, or indigence, and that ma-
ture age to which she had arrived before she received
the defendant's addresses? The Learned Couasel,
who bad sought to give every part of the case an in-
genious, a fanciful, aad an eloquent colouring, had
asked them to.make it their own ; he was wilting to
take the same rule, and leave them to estimate the
injury, as the plaintiff herself had estimated it, at
£3OO, which was a large sum far a family in the si-
tuation of life in which Mr. Hester moved. They
would, he trusted, consider this as a fair guide, in
that temperate consideration of the case which they
were bound to bestow.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE recapitulated the evi-.
deuce. He observed, that the sum which the plain-
tiff was willing to receive was a fit subject for them
to consider, but they might give less or more at their
discretion. Whether they should give that sum, pe
more, or less, was peculiarly for their determination ;
and he left it entirely 'in their hands, only reminding
them they should be temperate in estimating damages,
The Jury, 'after consulting for a few minutes, found
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, L:8130.
