Lord ELLENBOROUGH, after consulting with the
other Judges, said, the Court were much afraid that
they might seem to violate the rules which they had
laid down for their own governance in such cases,
were they to send a case to the consideration qi the
Jury a second time, where the party had originally
a full opportunity of proving his ease, and chose to
forego it. Ia this respect the Court felt a great difli.
culty ; but at the same time, as the Plaintiff, from
the evidence now laid before the Court, seemed more
mixed with Mrs. Clarke than he appeared to be at
the time of the former trial ; and as his conduct in
some of those transactions seemed to wear a very bad
complexion, it would be as well that the Learned
Serjeant took a Rule to spew cause, when there would
be an opportuni:y of cosidering the matter more at
length. Rule granted.

EDWARD LOVEDEN LOVEDEN, ESQ. In THOMAS RAYMOND

BARKER, ESQ.
Mr. GARROW moved for a Rule to chew cause why
the verdict in this case should not be set aside. He
stated, that it was an action of damages brought by
t,heTlaintiff against the Defendant, for holding cri-
minal conversation with his wife ; it was tried at the
Sittings 'after last term, before Lord Ellenborough,
in that Court, and the Jury gave a verdict for the
defendant. [For a statement of this case see the
STAR of July 4.] The Learned Counsel contended,
that, from the facts given in evidence to the Jury,
they ought to have gi''en a contrary verdict, from the
acknowledgment and promise of the defendant to
Warren Hastings, the plaintiff's butler, that if he
would be silent to what had taken place, he would
never come near the house again ; his being locked
up in the room with Mrs. Loveden, and perceived by
a servant trying to conceal himself, were all strong
presumptions of his having held criminal conversation
with the plaintiff'swife ; he therefore trusted that the
Court would grant the role.
Lord Et.LeNzoanucti observed, that he had left
the facts to the decision of the Jury, and although
there might be great cause for suspicion, yet they had
after a long consultation, determined by their verdict,
that there were no proofs sufficient of a criminal in-
tercom:se having taken place. It was not stated,
that there was any new evidence that could be
brought fiwbrard. There was no point of law in
the ease that was doubtful ; he, therefore, saw no
reason why the Verdict should be disturbed.
The Court refused the Rule.

COelitT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 9.
WARD IN CHANCERY.
Mr. RICHARDS stated, that Giles and Smith, the
persons implicated, the former as principal, and thei
latter as aiding in carrying off Miss Augusta Nichol.l
son, a ward of Chancery, for the purpose of effecting
a clandestine marriage, were now in Court. On the
p rt of the friends of this young lady, he had now to-
submit, that such means should be adopted as would
protect her in future from any similar attempt.
Mr. &ICH appeared for the Defendants. Mr.
Giles, he said, professed the greatest penitence for his
offence, and was willing to submit to any terms the
Court might think fit to impose.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he should consider of
what wits requisite with this view, and mention it to-
m -mnv. •

Mr. BLIGIT then read an affilavit of Smith, in
which be professed, that, at the time, be was unite
ignorant of this young lady being a ward of Court ;
that he was fully convinces' of the impropriety of hi,
conduct, and ready to answer any questions that
might be put to him. He begged also to submit, in
mitigation of punishment, that he had no other means
of procuring support, but by his professional engage-,
menu as a player.
The Loan dIiANCELLOR observed, that all that 'he
had heard only confirmed him the more as to the par-
ticular character of this case. This was, in short, the
case of stealing a fortune through a woman, ard
stealing a woman for the sake of her fortune. With
regard to the clergyman who published the banns
(this gentleman was present in his canonicals) he
ought to know, that ignorance a the parties was no
excuse. There was a notion among ckrgymen that
they did nothing wrong, if the banns were handed up
to item, in publishing them as a matter of course :
but he had the autlwrity of his predecessors for say-
ing, that if a 'clergyman marry persons in this way
who were not resident in his parish, he was liable to
ecclesiastical and other censures. He knew it was
said to be impossible to ascertain this in London :
But this plea could not he beard in a Court of Jus-
tice ; for the Act has given them seven days to find
out the parties, and requires the parties to &t
whereive a no-
tice both of the parish and the house they
lived respectively, and what was there to, do but to
repair to the house or houses, and ascertain the fact ?
But perhaps a practice so general among clergymen,
was excusable in an individual ; and be was sure this
clergyman, whom he knew to be respectable, did not
mean any ill : but when he recollected the extreme
difficulty which Lord Thurlow felt in not committing
Dr. Markham, when Rector of Whitechapel, on an
occasion of this kind, he thought it not unneces-
sary at least to state the law on the subject. He re-
collected one case, where the Rector said he had im-
posed the strongest charge to make inquiry on the
Curate, the Curate on the Clerk, and the glerk on
the maid-servant, and of course betwixt them all no
enquiry was ever made.
Let Mr. Smith petition the Court, and Giles too,
if he thinks proper.

NICHOLS V. THE SCOTS CORPORATION.
The Scots Corporation had some time ago obtained
an injunction to restrain Mr. Nichols from building a
wall beyond a certain height, on the ground that it
would become a nuisance, and obstruct the light of
their house in Crane-court, Fleet-street.
