CHELMSFORD, MARCH lt. .
CRISS. CON.—FLYNN V. GRANT.
Mr. LAWES Rated, that this was an action to reco-
ver compenfation, in damages, for the feduEtion of
the Plaintiff's wife.
Mr. Serjeant spa tan—gg The Plaintiff, in the
prefent cafe, is Captain of one of the Poll Office
packets at Harwich, and married his wife in the year
tBor, the daughter of a refpeflable tradefman at
Yarmouth ; they lived together in affection and har-
mony; until it was deftroyed by the mifcondua of the
Defendant, a Captain in the Weßminfter Militia,
then quartered in the town of Harwich. How or
when he first (educed the affeelions of Mrs. Flynn
from her hnfband, it is impoffible to fay, for the adul-
terous intercourfe was purfued in fectecy : certain it
is, however, that Mr. Flynn had not the lealt idea of
any improper connection, either formed or forming,
between the Defendant and his wife, until he receiv-
ed information, that his honour had been already
Sullied. Many levities might have puffed ;.--but the
hu(band is generally the laft man who is acquainted
with thefe things ; and others who faw them conli-
dered it only as flirtation--I with to Gno fuck conduEt
was called by its title appellation, namely, criminal.—
The manner of Captain Grant's firft introduCtion to
Mr. Flynn' s family, (hall now relate to the Jury.
On the occafion of the chriftening of Mr. Flynn's two
children, he intended to give a dance ; but tome of
the gentlemen invited, having difappointed him,
Captain Grant was introduced by another gentleman,
and from that timehe continued to vifit at the houfe. ;
I have already faid, it is impoffible to prove when the
adulterous intercourfe commenced, but I (hall prove
the fa& beyond the poffibility of doubt. I (hall call
a witnefs, who will Rate to you, that he held the ad-
joining garden to Mr. Flynn's ; being there about
eight o'clock in the morning, he heard fume voices
in Mr. Flynn's garden ; looking through a crack, he
faw Mrs. Flynn and Captain Grant gathering cur-
rants ; but his attention was more particularly ex-
cited in obferving Mr. Grant kifs Mrs. Flynn feveral
times, and after this prelude, he law them retire be-
hind Come rafpberry bullies, where he, however, had
a diffinft view of them, and faw them confummate
the a& of adultery. What anfwer Mr. Grant melns
to give to this charge, I am at a loft to guefs ; whe-
ther he means to attack the charafter of the huband,
or the previous charaCter of the wife. If he purfued
the latter comic, and adduces any evidence which
could impeach her former conduel, no man could be
more furprized than the Plaintiff himfelf, and I think
the Jury, when they are told the conduCt of Captain
Flynn, after the difcovet y of the affair, will believe
that he acted as became an honourable man. The
firft intimation he received of it was while he was in
London with his wife, by an anonymous letter, which
he gave to a ft lend, who made inquities, and traced
the actual proof of her mirconduel. Mr. Flynn im-
mediately carried his wife home to Harwich, and ab-
Rained from all intercourfe with her ; bat he did not
turn her into the area, which probably mull have
driven her to the arms of the adulterer, if he did not
refttfe to receive her, as frequently happened when a
guilty paflion was fatiated ; but he left her in his own
houfe, giving her a decent maintenance, telling her
there the Would remain, until her guilt or innocence
was fully proved, by legal invetligation." The
Learned Serjeant then adverted to the circumftance
of the Plaintiff having two daughters, who might
hereafter be injured by the contamination which the
mother's character might be fuppofed to receive. It
was true they could not demand damages for this,
becaufe they were not complainants in that action ;
but the Jury might add fornething for the father's
feelings on this occafion, for it was aggravaion to
the injury done to himfelf. He.trutked, that, upon
the whole of the evidence, the Jury would think it a
fit cafe for exemplary damages.
The marriage was proved, as Rated, in iBol, and
feveral witneffes were called to prove that the Plain-
tiff and his wife lived affectionately. One of them,
Captain Darby, a naval officer, laid, that lie was
intimate at the houfe, that they lived affectionately,
and much as man and wife usually did."—(4 laugh).
Captain Bridges, Captain of another Polk-office
packet, dated, that he was the perfon who caufed
Captain Grant, the defendant, to be invited to the
ball ; he was intimate at the hotife, and Mr. Flynn
was complaining, that feveral of the ladies would
be left without partners, from the abfence of feveral
gentlemen who had been expetted. He named fe-
veral who would come, he thought ; and Mrs. Flynn
faid, that there was a Captain Grant, a good dan-
cer. The Witnefs thought it was not correct to in-
vite him, as they none of them knew him ; but the
over-ruled him, and fttid, We would write to the
Captain herlelf, and invite him, which the did, and
he came.
William Pickett, the Winters, who proved the
adultery, Rated that he was a publican, and had a
garden adjoining to Captain Flynn's. About eight
o'clock in the morning of the zd of Augnft lad, he
was in his garden to feed his rabbits, and heating a
noife of fume perfons talking in Captain Flynn's
garden, he was induced to look through a hole in
the palling. He faw Captain Grant and Mrs. Flynn
gathering currants, and every now and then they
kilted each other ; at length they retired behind the
fummer houfe, and had intercourfe. He law them
diffinitly, and could not be mistaken. He told fe-
veral perfons of it ; and in a few days afterwards
Captain Grant came to him, and defired him not to
let the (tory go any further, as he was afraid the
Lady's reputation might fuffer. On crifs-examina-
tion, he laid the lady made the of many provocative,
to induce Captain Grant to the act, which are too
grofs to be detailed. He was alfo ilrietly examined
by Mr. GARROW, whether he had not reported his
having leen other indecencies in the fame garden, in
the time of a former proprietor His anfwers dif
clofed matter too difguffing to relate ; it appearing
that the reputation of a Diffenting Clergyman had
been quellioned for grofs praCtices. upon the report
of this witnefs. He alfo defctibed the garden as be-
ing ovetlooked from the road, and a mound upon
which a mill formerly Rood.
Another witnefs proved that Captain Grant had
come to him, and defied him not to circulate the
report of his criminal connection with Mts. Flynn.
Mr. Gaaaow, fur the defendant, implored the
Jury to give no credit to the tetkimony of Pickett,
and principally Witted that the (tory told by Pickett
was fo indecent, fo improbable, and fo revolting to
