for many years at the Moon,in Brnok-street,Essex. They,
became intimate. He paid every attention to her, and
made. ptoposals of mart i ege, which were accepted by,
the plaintiff, and sanctioned by, me. Has conduct aro,
peered.to be that of an accepted suitor. Oa the 6th
nkeinly. after returning from Fairlop fair, the defend-
itet,,said he had taken the plaiptiff, to see a house,
which was the Queens Head, in Fashion-street, Spica,.

want another. He added, that she said she liked
Whitechapel best. Tbe plaintiff was present at this
•
time. I have heard the su• ject of marriage mentionedl
between them several times. The defendant asked myl
husband to give them the wedding d nner. He said she
was a clever young woman in business. and he would I
rather marry her than a person with a thousand pounds
.mhich he said he conld have with therteraon he has now
married. This conduct continued ham the 7th ofJune
to the 17th of Julyoehen hi> visits.ceased. Up to the
time of the cessation of his visit% no dispute or dis-
agreement had arisen between them. I never heard
from him any reason for his deserting her, but hate

plaintiff came to rae, she was out of employment. She
hadbeen a L•cly's maid in the family of a Mr. Knight,
atc,Claptott. I cm's say how many years she had been
IL that family. She came to me upon a visit, and in-
tended to go into service again, and was seeking
employment., Mr. Broadbelt's former wife died on the
9111 hi last January. I knew her perfectly well. The
defendant had been in habits of intimacy with my hus-
band and myself before the 7th of June. His visits
had not been more frequent after his wife's death
than they were before, until the plaintiff came. .1
knew that• he was a wealthy man before she came
to my house. He begged that the might not seek
for 'employment when he understood that she wanted
aliteation ; I am quite unable to say how often he called
between the 7th of June and the 17th of July ; he some-
times came more than once a day; no letters pasted
from him, and only one from her, demanding an ex-
planation of his conduct, which he did not answer ;
djd..not pay him a visit to inquire why he did not marry
• hp. Oar have L spoken to him since; he made proposals
to•her before my husband, son. and daughter I the de-
fendant frequently upoke of marrying her; I do not

the time he was paying his addresses to any other than

him.; she hes been since living with her friends, but as
to where they. live, I cannot conteive to be a material
%notion in this cause—(A laugh). On the cpsestion

When the multiage was broken off, she was appraised
with Amu 'crapes* of spirits and agitation of mind;
will 'wear that she has never since been in service.

was her Chet he mentioned as havir.g a thousand pounds,
when he said he would tether marry:the plaintiff. He
was 'partied to her some time in August last.
M. William Nutt, tie husband of the preceding wit-
ness, confirmed her testimony, adding, in erossiezansina-
ti. n; that when the defendant spoke to him of marrying
the plaintiff, and asked him to give the wedding dinner,
that !selves certainly perfectly sober.
Mr.. bavid Nutt, the son of the former "'kiwis, stated
that he beard the defendant say he was will th 5,0001.

defendant. Hirthought that when the Jury had re
sttned to 'their homes, and began to think over the
occeitences of the day. they would very probably re-
meenber how many trmes in the course of this cause
they 'had heard of 5,0001. and 8.001. and he would
-venture to say that this was the very thing which his
Learned Friend had most studied to introduce, in order
tit furnish them with. an idea ni,the vast wealth of the
defendant; and he did not doubt. if they could have got
ittp,ibe consultation room last night, they would have
found that the most material point inconsideration was
the depth et the pocket, into which they wished the Jory
to put their hands. that they might get from the darn.
dot some of that wealth which they intended to prove
4)es:eased. Did the Jury doubt ft om what they bad
blit d kens Mrs. Nutt that she was a Trey ready, advocate
tqr, the.girl, and that she had not failed to set her forth
to the observation of the , defendant ? It had been
anted on what ground the defendant .had withdrawn
