LAW DiriLLIGENC.L

—.COURT OF CRANCE,RT, MARCH If. .
LYNN V. TUB 111112 X Ot DARILIri.
This is a bill filed by the plaintiff, who is perpe-
tual Curate of the parish of Stroud, in the county of
'tent, for the purpose of investigating certain claims
which the defendant made to the tithes of the manor
of Wickham, situated in the aforesaid parish, and
partly in one of the parishes of the city of Rochester%
The complaint was, that the Noble Defendant, who
had a lease of certain premises from the Dean and
Chapter of the Cathedral of Rochester, had, con-
trary to usage, and against his lease, cut down a
qoantity of underwood, without paying the defen-
dant those tithes on that wood, to which, by the pro-
visions of his appointment as perpetual Curate of,
Stroud, he wu_ jegally entitled.
The VICV:MANCILLOR directed the following
issue to be tried—Whether the tithes of the manor of
Wickham, so far as the same manor is within the
parish of Stroud, passed to the Earl of Darnley by
virtue of du lease or leases granted to him by the
Dean and Chapter of Rochester ?

WILTSHIRE.
At the above Assizes an action was brought for
a breach of promise of marriage, which afforded con-
siderable entertainment to a very crowded COurt.

The fair plaintiff, Miss Sartain, is a hanisome grl ;
her father is a weaver and her mother is a washer-
woman. The damages were laid at £5,000. The
defendant, Amor, a short time since emerged from a
Workhouse, having become heir to considerable pro-
perty. He was described by some of the witnesses
as a very sensible and proper young man ; by others,.
as very deficient--half wltted,a mere ideot—and
" not fit to be married." He bad been brought by
Ihis brother from London to the house of Mr. J. Friar,
a farmer, at Studley, near Trowbridge, and a short
distance from the plaintiff's, to be Liken care of; as
being incapable of taking care of himself. All the
tender interviews, it appeared, happened in the pre-
sence of third persons ; and the extent of the defen-
dant's promise was, he was heard to say, " he was
tired of biding at Friar's, and be would marry her,
(Mary Sartain,) and he would make a settlement on
her of £4,000." The plaintiff consentedi and soon
after bought the license and the ring. Defendant
went into Gloucester in the month of October, when
he said his dear -Mary should not remain at home a
fortnight longer.—Sarah Pearce, the wife of Mr.
Pearce, draper, of Trowbridge, being called, gave her
evidence with such gratuitous volubility, as excited
the risibility of the whole Court. She begged the
Judge would let her know when she spoke too fast
for him. His Lordship drily replied, "indulge your-
self, Mane Mrs. Pearce proceeded—" I was sent
for by Mr. Amor, (the defendant,) to the Sun Inn,
at Trowbridge, and there, in the presence of the
plaintiff randr father, he told me to let MarySar-
tain have what goods she liked, and that he would
pay for them within amonth, I accordingly recom-
mended her some dresses; becoming a Lady, which I
expected she would soon be made; and she had eight
or ten very handsome dresses. Ribbands and bride-
favours I sold her in great numbers..
.1 can assure
you there was rip scarcity ; and I would have sold
her ten times as much if I could; for I had an un-
limited order. At last Mr. Green told me not to let
any more go without further orders. Mary Sartain
is a very pretty girl."—The defendant, however,
u hen he moved into Gloucester forgot his " plighted
vows," and all about the ten handsome dresses Mrs.
Pearce had made ; he took op his residence at Berry
Lodge, about a quarter of a mile freer Bath-Easton,
and soon after very coolly married Ann Lawes, his
servant. • k .apmred on the• defence, thither parents'
comfort was the sine funnels of the plaintiff's attach-
ment ; when I am married (she had said) my father
and mother will be comfortable. The defendant,
however, was heard to refuse to marry the %hole fa-
mily, on which plaintiff's father said, 44 'l'll be
d—d if eves Amor shall have my daughter; every
thing that I have done; license and what not, shall be
set aside; and if. ever Amor comes to my premises
again 1 will kick him to the devil; it shall be all over
this night." He said to his daughter—" ill not go
near him (Amor) myself, and if ever thee'st go near
where he is again, I'll be d—d if I don't split toy
skull." Anior is in his 40th year, a weak-minded
man, very silly; plaintiff's mother washed his linen,
to whose house be frequently went, and never_ re-
turned withbut being tipsy ; sometimes twice a day.
Mr. Justice Base raid--" for a plaintiff to ask dama-
ges for the happiness she has lost in not being mar-
ried to a man whom she never loved, is an insult to
common sense ; and though the father has a right to
bring this•action for his daughter, she being an infant,
yet if he refused to give his consent to the marriage,
in point of law it cannot stand. What damages can
you give a person for the loss of a hUsbanci, with
whom it would be almost a profanation to go to the
sacred altarl'. It has been stated, (said his Lordship,)
that the defendant is just come from a Workhouse,
and if he does not get into better bands it is my opi-
nion he will MUM there again." The Jury returned
their verdict for the defendant. -
