BRIACII Of PROMISE Or MARRIAOR. The case
CAPPER v. Heerox, which has been so long the subject
of conversation in the neighbourhood of Che,ter, and
in the Vale.of Cbywd, Denbighshire, will come on for
trial to-morrow, at the Shrewsbury As,izes, before a
Special Jury. Upwaids of a doyen witnesses have re-
ceived subpoenas in Chester and its vicinity, and the
trial excites unusual interest. The short facts of the
tine which the Jury will have to decide upon are these :
—Mr. Horton is a young Gentleman of considerable
fortune, residing at Tattenhall, about eight miles from
Chester ; Miss Capper is the daughter of a very re-
spectable farmer, holding large tenancies near Hand-
ley, a short distance from Tattenhall, and at Gwayny-
nog, near Denbigh. An acquaintance was formed be-
tween the parties more than two years ago, and the intl.
macy afterwards became of a nature so tender, that an
offer of marriage was made by Mr. Horton, end ac-
cepted by Mr. Capper. The fashinnists of the country
were put in requisition forthe preparation of the bridal
dresses, and Mr. Capper' being a person of property,.
expense was not spared, and, as might be supposed,
the " marriage garmehte were of the most costly
description. At this jtmtture• Misl Capper resided ai
(3waynynog, and it was, therefore, fixed that Mr.
Horton should take up his abode in the Vale, for the
purpose of gaining the necessary month's location.—
The time for the nuptials seemed to " speed with
leaden wings at last the license was obtained, and the
usual preparatory steps were taken previous to tying
the indissoluble knot. We, perhaps, should hare stated,
that Mr. Horton occupied the month in grousing, and
