dinner and tea, and then came to town. After that we
got a coach, and perceiving it was not driving in the
direction of my home, I asked him several times where
he was going? and he told me, to my house. But still
percelring- that the coach was not going towards my
home, I Again asked him where he was going ? and he
said towards his home, and I 'immediately disputed. In
the course of that day he gave me wine, and taking
a ring off his own finger, put it on mine, and theA told
me I might consider myself as married, as it was too
late to get a license that day. When we got to Bishops-
gate-street, he called at a shop for a parcel, and I asked
him what it was? and he said it was immaterial. The
coach then drove to Windsor Terrace. At the time he
stopped for the parcel he wrote something, and after-
wards told me that the note he had written was to my
uncle, to make him satisfied where I was going for the
night. I told him that I thought. the enclosed was a
blank sheet of paper, as he would not write such a
scrawl as that. How •he got rid of the note I don't
know, but I suppose he gave it to the coachman. We
then went to Windsor Terrace, and the person of the
house opened the door to us, and he introduced me as
Mrs.. Thompson. We then went up stairs, and he or-,
d. re.l supper to be got ready immediately, and it was'
got ready. After supper, I told him I could not think
of staying there all night, unless I had a convincing
proof of his honour ; 'lnd every time any person came,
he said I was under his protection, and there was nothing
to say against his honour, for he should marry me the
next morning. He handed me to the bedroom door,
next to the parlour, and not knowing where I was, I was
afraid to speak out ; I was scarcely able to stand. I
had not'been in the room above five minutes when he
came into the room, and he spent the night with me in
my bed. The next morning he went away at nine
o'clock, and said he was going to my uncle, and he'
would return in an hour, and do according to his pro-
mise. I saw no more of him, but received a letter at
two o'clock ; I then returned home directly.
Cross-examined by the COMMON SERGEANT—I and
my brothers and sisters had each a sum of money.
When I first lived with my uncle he had no servant, but
he had a son and a daughter, and we all assisted in the
household work. I was maintained out of my own
money, and not at my uncle's expense.

Mr. COMMON SERGEANT now submitted, that tbere was no proof
of the uncle being guardian or trustee for this girl, or that she had
been his servant, and therefore this action was not maintainable.

The CHIEF Jusrica now examined the witness as to
the mode in which any property was left to her, and
elicited that a business was left to the children of her
father and mother, the value of which was to be divi-
ded among all the children, when they became of age.
She did domestic work about her uncle's house.

His Lordship now expressed his opinion that this
would do. The uncle was evidently "in loco parentis,"
and, at all events, the witness did household work. The
sm 411 est set vice would do, even if it aas the daughter
of the highest nobleman in the land, but here the uncle
kept no servant.
Cross-examination resumed.—Lived at two places
before she went to Mr. Nicholls. The first letter I re-
ceived was four dais after Valentine's Day ; but I had
nor given hint any winks or nods before that. On two
occasions I wrote to say when I was going out, but I
never hung out a muslin bankerchief, or made crosses
on the windows. I saw a lady living at Mr. T.'s house,
but I did not know he had a wife. I have seen him
walk out with that lady ; two letters I destroyed ;
MI s. N. was in the kitchen one day and saw me reading
one, and she said it was a valentine; 1 said it was
not, and I put it into the fire. That letter did not
contain any proposals as to the terms on which the
defendant and 1 were to live together. In the coach,
the defendant appeared distant. There was no kissing
in the coach ; he never put his finger on me. The, house
he took me to in Windsor terrace, was quite respectable,
but I did not complain that I was brought there invo-
luntarily. I went with the defendant to two shops. At
one shop he bought tea and sugar. That was the parcel
he put into the coach. He also bought night things.
The supper was very few minutes getting ready. He
undid the parcel of night things, and I was obliged to
put them on. He said it was no use to resist.
The Cater JUSTICs—You see, Mr. Common Sergeant, we are not
trying a case of force.
Mary Manville, a cousin of Elizabeth Manville, the
last witness, remembered the day she went out with the
defendant. Witness's father was net at home at the
time. She remembered her returning the next day,
about half-past three o'clock in great agitation and dis-
tress of mind.
Mr. John Roberts was called in to attend Elizabeth
Manville on the '2d of June, and found her in agitation
both of body and mind. He knew her twelve years.
She was in such a state that he thought it necessary nut
to leave her by herself, and to recommend her air and
exercise, but ordered that she she should not be suffered
to go out alone.
The defendant's letters were then put in and read.
The COMMON SERGEANT then addressed the Jury,

comment;ng upon the conduct of the seduced girl, and
contending that, in point of fact, she had thrown herself
in the defendant's way, wham she knew to be a married

man ; and the circumstance of her being present at the
purchase of night clothes tor her own use, was demon-
stration tha► virtue sat but loosely upon her principles.
The LORD Curer JUST/CR then charged the Jury.

, The Jury retired at a quarter after one o'clock, and returned at
twenty minutes before two o'clock, when they found a verdict fur
the plaintiff—Damages, 4001.

Extract of a letter from Hamburgh According
to authentic reports from Cissel, some serious differ-
ences have occurred between the ELECTOR and his son,
the Electoral Pi ince, in consequence of which the latter
deemed it necessary to leave that city and to take refuge
at Berlin, where hs is arrived."

St. Pitersburgh Journals of the 25th and 26th of
September announce that the exportation of the Salts
and Wines of Bessarabia had been permitted through
t e Cus oni /louse at 0 .rdropol, which was expected
to do much good to the inhabitants of Ackermann.
The mortal remains of the great ll.tviti, the p.inter,
had been removed from the Pell i.h Church of St. Gudele
to the external cemetery; his whole family attending
on that occasion.

So many Physicians had answered the appeal of the
Magistrates of Groningen, to come and attend the si.:k,
that a countermanding order had betn issued. The
number of deaths during tour months in that city was
al.ogether 1145, of which 637 had taken place betv:ren
the 7th of Sept. and the sth inst. The disorder itielf
was said to have mended to the north p•rt of Drenthe
Tie celeri,y and expect tion of travelling by water,
