• HOME CIRCUIT.—HERTFORD, JUL? 19.
R. Otway Cave, EA. M.P. for Leieestei, brought an
action against a trainer of horses at St. Alban's; named
Coleman, to recover one hundred guineas which had
been paid by the plaintiff for a horse called Atticus,
which was represented,as a quiet steady animal, and a
warranty given to that effect. He proved, however, to
be anything • but steady, and his temper vicious; so
much so that it was extremely dangerous to cross him.
These facts being proved in evidence, a verdict was
given for the plaintiff to the full amount claimed.

%BREACH 07 MARAIAOS PROMISE.
An action to recover damages for Breach of Marriage
Promise was brought by Miss Rowley.who resides with
her uncle (her father being dead), a farmer at Alswick
Hall, Layston, against a young man named Acres,
carrying on the business of a butcher, at Huntingford.
From the statements of the witnesses it appeared. that.
Miss Rowley and Mr. Acres met at a ball given in
September last by tlie.lady's uncle, Mr. Marchant, of
Alswick Hall ; that Mi. Acres was theme smitten, and

by 'Miss Rowley Was not eery becoming in a young
Lady.' 'ln less than three weeks from the time when
she 'first nut the defendant, she had herself come to
Hertford tolnake preparations for her wedding. In
breaking off this match, it was contended, that the
defendant's conduct had been that of a prudent, sensible
mug man. In the heat of passion he bad made vows
and promises which, in sober deliberation, aodirsith the
coonseli of an aged mother and his friends, be found
he could not, either in in mice to himself or the ladyc
carry into effect. With respect to the property of the
defendant, it was noverhat had been► represented.

and be was now indebted to her in the sum of 5001.

tion, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501.

pointed instrtimeat. The cause:Oil:lh death sits the
wound in the neck—it had divided the trachagilit in-
Wind jugular vein, and the e.oterica.
. The prisoner put in a written defeoce, whlkh be
said it was impossible for him t' call any wittiest, as
the only persons present at the commencement of ilia
affair were his wife, himself, and the man whose death
Isebad'unfartunattly occasioned. The deceased had been
employed in his service, but m circum.tances occurred
in bib family,which made him suspicious that an impro-
per degree cf familiatity.existed between his wife and the
deceased, he dismissed him. Still, after. that dismission,
he had reason to believe that an improper intercourse
was cauisdon, and on the night in question he stationed
Wessel( in an adjoining room to watch them. Be had
not been there above ten minutes, loOkinig into tilt rooms,
where hit Wife weir and where her last child,taity
moi,ths old, lay sleeping, when the deceased came in,
And atter a short time he saw his wife in the very act
of adultery. With his feelings thus ezeited, he rushee
in and endeavoured to detain the man, 6ut he escaped
—be :omitted up a knife, followed, and, miserably for
himself and the deceased, overtook and killed him. He
was sensible of the guilt of the act be had committed.
but he prayed the Jury to consider the circumstances
by which his,mind had been acted upop, and which they
could not have known, but for the statement he had
just made.
Several witnesses were called, who gave theprisonse
a high character for mildness of temper. ;
Mr. Justice retie charged the Jury. the xhargo
which the prisoner now appeared at the bar tianswer
for was not more than manslaughter, but he could tat l
say it was less. • more,
could not certainly advise them to
acquit tie prisoner. It had been more, than once deter.
mined, that when the husband found his wife in actual'
connection with another man, and when he inflicted
death on that man in the fury of his agitation—it might
be said in the frenzy of the moment—the crime only
amounted to manslaughter. The law, therefore; was laid
down. As the wife of ate prisoner. and the prisoner him.;
self, were the only persons who were present it the coned
mencement of the affair, the Jury could not be informed
upon the whole motet; but tbe.prisonar had said that
be saw his Wife. lis the act of adultery. What a prisoner
said was wit however, to bradmitted, merely lop his
assertion, as evidekein his feveary.unless it was
'berated by other *video& The Jury were not' load
to receive it; but the question here was, whether the
proof of the words uttered in the passage of the house,
at the moment before the door was opened, did not so

far corrobOrate die •prisdnei's statement as to show its
great probability. If the Jotrtbonglst k did, they "odd
convict the prisoner of the clime, pf manslaughter.
"The Jury instantly returned a verdict—Manslaughter.
Mi. Justice PARE then addressed the prisoner.—No
one could justify the killing oUone man by another; but
if ever there were circumstances that could warrant
such a permAogyliction ofjustice,they were those under
'the Mauro/m.4 which the ptisoner had acted. It mu't,
hOilfever, be terribly painful to think. that even under
th'ettsfluence of the dreadfully excited feelings by which
he had been goaded to the commission' of this act, he
had been the cause of the death of a fallow-creature
in ' the moment of his sin—that at the instant
when that man was engaged in the commission
of a heinous sin, the prisoner had been the means
of sending him to account for his conduct betore he had
time to pray to his GOD for forgiveness. He had no
.doubt that the prisoner would feel it to the last moment
of his existence; and though the crime was mitigated
to the greatest possible degree, yet that it would pro-
duce an effect upon him for the whole course of his
life. The prisoner had already suffered one month's
imprisonment, and in consideration of that, and cf the
peculiar circumstances of this unfortunate case, the
'sentence of the Court was, that be should now pay
a fine of One
.Shdling, and be discharged. •
The Court was exuensely crowded, and on the an-
nouncement of the sentence, a general expression of
'applause was beard, ,ft was, however, immediately
checked. The pristiner bowed respectfully to his Lord-
ship and the Jury, and retired, followed by a large body
of friends. ' •

Peter Crawley and Tom Spring.--This was a superior display of

was a rut burst of apprtibmitia,but throughout the engagement the,
most profound silence was observed+-a pin dropping would have
been heard in the Court. Peter Crawley showed his immense
capability to Mt at a distance—and at the out-fighting, bad a shade
the best of number and effect of blows--but at the conclusion, in a
roily Tom had a little advantage in the in-fighting, but we subscribe
to the general opinion, that, as a whole, the little mastery that did
exist, was the property of Crawley. Such a set•to is not often to
be setts at modern benefits.

law of boxing—and he would act wisely in not trusting blond?

acceptable.
The wiitd-up was Ned Neal and Jem Burn.
Challenges were exchanged between Murphy and the Bristol'

with t►e Union of the Rose,Thistle. and Shamrock, and surmounted
by a pugilist in attitude, exceedingly well executed. The Cup wig
contain nearly a gallon. Mr. Pierce Egan, with a neat short speech.
presented the Cup to Ned. who replied as well as he could, veil,.
sizing for want of oratorical powers ; but he seemed to have no
want of feeling. Tom Spring was appointed Cup-bearer on the
pccasion, and the ceremony altogether was gone through with no
small portion of effect, and, at intervals, amidst deafening roared
approbation.
