the mail, and so will be at Carlisle on Wednesday afternoon, if
all be well, therefore you will not have time to answer this. I
have just received a letter from my sister; she also mentions the
death of the Doctor of the 15th Hussars. I was very sorry to
hear it. The evening before 1 left Carlisle he was playing at
billiards in good health. This is an uncertain world, therefore
we should take great care of ourselves. Mary says Jemima
Johnson is married, so nobody need despair. I was at Covent-
Garden on Wednesday next, and saw the new Tragedy of
Eaulne, the part of Evadne by Miss O'Neill, supported by
Messrs. Macready, Young, Charles Kemble, and Abbot. It is
a beautiful thing. Macready is the greatest by far.
" I ant just now going to Richard Thompson's office; it is
within three minutes walk of your aunt's. James Connel is in
in town ; but I have not seen him yet. I saw Mr. Hunter,
Emily's master, this morning ; he is at the same house as we are.
I long very much to see you again, my dear Sarah ; it is an age
,:lice I saw you last; but I will see you, my dear, before ano-
ther week is m Lr. limn said Dowel passed his shop the other
day. You may expect me, my dear Sarah, the first thing on
Thursday morning. I have given seven guineas for two seas
and a key. I got my name engraved on one of the seals, with
which I will seal this letter: it makes a beautiful impression.
441 remain, my dearest Sarah, your's most sincerely,
" E. lII.A MIRE."

(The miscellaneous character of these letters af-
forded infinite amusement in the Court, with the ad-
dition of some sentences occasionally introduced by
the Learned Counsel).
The Learned Counsel addressed himself particu-
larly to the Jary, and said, as fathers, brothers, or
mea, they would not suffer a woman's feelings to be
thus violated, after many years cot respondence, and
ln:rself prevented from forming an attachment else-
where, which protected her virtue, and exalted her
to a splendid ornament of her sex. He should prove
the facts in evidence, and if there was the slightest
insinuation against her character, he should again
have an opportunity of addressing them, and such an
insinuation would only have the effect of enhancing
the damages.
Rowland Thompson is the father of the plaintiff,
he is a farmer, and has a family of three daughters
and four sons. Ills daughter Sarah is twenty-four
years of age. The defendant lived at Subtle House
with his father, and was considered as a gentleman
of property. The defendant first visited his daugh-
ter about six years Fast, and continued to do so for
two or three years before any particular conversation
took place. Ile came at all times—to breakfast,
dinner, and tea. The witness was once travelling
from Carlisle towards home, when he met the defend-
dant, who had been home with his daLghter ; he took
witness up on his horse, as it was then very ditty, and
on their road the witness told the defendant he had
been very much blamed for allowing him to be so
frequently at his house, and desired to know what

the defendant's intentions were ? The defendant said,
his intentions were honourable, and if ever he married
womankind. he would marry Sarah. Witness told
him he would not get much with her, when the de-
fendant said he did not want it. They arrived home
and had supper; after which the witness called his
daughter Sarah to him, and told her that he had
often quarrelled with her for allowing Mr. Blamire
to come so often to see her, but that he had then sa-
tisfied him. She said very well, mid was desirous of
knowing what conversation they had had ; he ex-
plained in the presence of her mother and two daugh-
ters. Ile again called on Mr. Blamite for a decla-
ration of his meaning; and he rose up and shook
hands with the witness, at the same time saying his
intentions were honourable, and repeated, if ever he
married womankind, he would marry Sarah Thomp-
son. After this edaircisse»zent his visits became more
frequent. On another occasion, when the witness had
been conversing with the defendant, he observed that
the neighbours talked about his visits, to which Bla-
mire replied, that they understood each other, and he
need not mit,cl the people. Mr. Blamire is about
twenty-three or twenty-four years old. The last
time the witness was coursing with the defendant,
about two years past, the defendant renewed his as-
sertions of the probity of his inventions, and after that
was received as one of the family, and as the future
son-in-law of the witness.

Cross-examined by 111 r. SCARLETT.—It is perhaps
four years ago that he had the first conversation as to
the intentions of the defendant. He was then intro-
duced by Mr. Armstrong, the witness's presont soli-
citor. his farm is worth £lBO per annum. Mr.
Blamire lives five or six miles distant. The defend.
ant came to see the witness's daughter three or four
times a week, and staid sometimes to play at cards.
Defendant lived with his father, and expected advan-
tages from that connexion. It is true that he had
been blamed by his neighbours, for not having seen
his father ; but he never had any reason to suppose
his father was against the match. He never gave
any reason why he did not marry, nor was he ever
asked ; but he was considered as one of the family.

Mrs. Mary Emily is a daughter of the last wit-
ness, and had been married about twelve months.—
She corroborated her father as to the conversation
had in her presence and that of her mother, after the
defendant and her father came home on horseback.
Cross-examind bz, MA SCA RLETT.—When the de-
fendant came to see her sister he was generally with
the family, but they sometimes walked in the garden
alone. The witness was sure it was her sister, and
not herself that he paid attention to. Mr. Armstrong
came frequently to their house, but he never paid at-
tention to any part of the family in particular. Mr.
Emily courted the witness two years before they
were married. She did not know that Mr. Arm-
strong, her father's landlord, had distrained for rent.

Re-examined.—Since the defendant at the first con-
versation promised her sister marriage, he had re-
newed that promise several times.
P. Thompson, a brother of the plaintiff, is a clerk
in Mr. Armstrong's office, and knew tie defendant's
hand-writing well, from his seeing him write at the
office, where he frequently was. Jr. Armstrong
had not distraincd for rent, but a Mr. Dobinson had
issued an execution against his frther, when Mr.
Armstrong claimed rent.
Rev. John Ilershaw proved the marriage of the
edentlant with Miss Olive: oa the h r.l November.
