LAW DITZLLIG,EWL

COURT OF CHA NCER Y, JULY 33.
ROWE V. WOOD.

The LORD CasNCELLOR on coning.into Court this,
morning gave judgment in this case. He granted
the motion to set aside the attachment issued against
the Defendants, Zvithout costs ; and without prejudice
to any other question in the cause, or to any further
application that either parties might be advised to
make to the Cotirt.—Motion grant.,d without Costs.
THE REV. DR. RRISTOW V. THE PARISHIONERS OF
ST. THOMAS APOSTLE.
•

~- The LARD CHANCELLOR gave his judgment in this
case. The 'original question before his Lordship was
founded on a motion by the Rev. Plaintiff, Vicar of
the Parish, praying the Court to authorise him to
examine certain Deeds which were in the custody of
the Defendants. This motion was made on the
ground of the Plaintiff claiming his right, as Vicar
of the Parish, to enjoy the proceeds of a Charitable
Estate, founded in the reign of Edward the Third,
by a Mr. Champness, citizen and mercer, in Lon-
don, who devoted a portion of it to be paid, to the
Priest of St. Thomas, for saying so many masses
for the soul of the deceased Founder of the Charity.
After being regularly paid by the trustees to the
time of the Refornaition, by Henry VIII. the funds
devoted to superstitious purposes were appropriated
to the Crown; but there was a reservation in this case
in behalf of this parish. The great fire in 1666 de-
stroyed the tenements on the estate, among others;
and it was difficult to say on what precise ground
they-, prior to :hat time, were situated. Tl:e pari-
shioners clainie a right to act as trustees of the
estate; 'contending that the intention of "the founder
was to make them so applicable, but the Vicar claimed
them as being his, in consequence of *intention ex-
pressed by the founder. Alithat was therefore asked
in the present stageof the business Was, to allow him
in inspection of the deeds and muniments of the cha
rity, for the purpose of being enabled thence to ascer-
tain on what each party founded their claims. Ile
had minutely read over the bill and answers, and, in
considering them, he was of opinion that the produc-
tion of theni was necessary to decide this question.
He therefore gave his judgment accordingly. •

YORKSHIRE ASSIZES, JULY 250.
PREXCH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
DAWSON V. NEWTON.

Mr. WILLIAM 4 opened the pleadings. The da-
mages were laid at £3OOO.
Mr. RAW stated the case to the Jury. This was
purely an action to recover a compensation in di-
' mages for a breach of the most eiPlicit promises and
the most solemn engagement on the part of the de-
fendant to marry the plaintiff. Tie plaintiff was a
young woman of 24 years of age one of The dangly
ters of William Dawson, forme:lk afarmer at Moor-
lands, near Hudderfield, where he occupied a farm
as tenant to Mr. William Newton, defendant's father,
a land-surveyor at Stagwood-hiil, hut now only a la-
bourer. The defendant, about 28 years of age, was
the only son of Mr. Newton, possessed in his own
right an estate of 200:: 3 year, and was heir to his
father's property, eitithated at %WOOL The parties
living only about a mile from each other, early tic-
' quaintance was formed between them ; acquaintance
grew into attachment ; and attachment ripened into
love. Their courtship commenced at least seven
years ago. From 1815 to November 1817, their mu-
tual love was known to Martha Dawson, one of the
witnesits. At the latter period the defendant dis-
continued his visits, rend on the 7th April, 1818, he
married another Terms lady, yet five years ago the
defendant had assured the plaintiff's mother, then on
her death-bed, that he would• marry her daughter.
Her attachment to the undeserving defendant induced
her to refuse many advantageops offers, and the.loss
he was hound to repair as far as damages can do it.
Her health indeed, had been seriously affected by the
cruel disappointment. The defendant was said to
rest his defence on the disparity of their situation,
but this could never justity the violation of a deli-
berate and solemn promise while their relative situa-
tions were well known. This action had been so lung
delayed, owing to the misconduct of Mr. Jusepfi
Blackburn, attorney at Huddersfield, who, in 1817,
commenced the action, and got 251. from the defen-
dant, under pretence of trying the cause at thelast
assizes. But he soon afterwards absconded from Hud-
dersfield,. and was since unheard of.
Mrs. Martha Dawson, wife. of William Dawson,
clathier, .near Huddersfield; and the plaintiff's bro-
ther, stated the plaintiff to be SO,' and the defendant
1.08 years of age, The defendant had appeared fond.
pf the plaintiff from their infancy, and had courted '
hey at least seven years. About two years ago she
was at plaintiff's housson a Sunday afternoon, when
defendant said to the witness that he had given the
plaintiff a ring, at the same time asking the plaintiff
to fetch it. The plaintiff having refused, he fetched
it himself, and put it oh the plaintiff% finger, and
said, " This is the fisst marriage ring ever 1 bought;
we will go to Sheffield' and be married ; Mr. Words-
worth shall marry us; this is the ring and the gown
you shall be married in ;I will never marry any other
woman, my dear." She remembered that in the
spring of 1817, the defendani, having the plaintiff
on his knee, was seen by Sarah Nfoorhouse, a neigh-
hour's daughter, who imrriediately went out again
f! om the house. Defendant then said that Sarah •
Moor house had come to see' and hear, but he did not
mind, he was determined to have Ssther Danrson.—
When witness expressed suspicions of his not per-
forming his promises, he said if lie would not, the
ring would hang him, and added, addressing him-
self to Esther,. "My dear, that will never come to.
pass ; for a tish may as well live oat of water, fates
without you, tarn 4eterMined never to marry Jiro:
