♦UGSBURG, JULY ii.

Our Gazette 4 to-day has the following article,
under the head of Carlsruhe:—" In the Sitting of the
Second Chamber, the SOth June, M. Toehrenbach
communicated, the Project of an Ordinance of the
Sovereign, concerning the Abolition of the Office of
the Bailliage, and the transfer of their functions to
okhers. The Government had, therefore, in this re_
spect, met the wishes of the Second Chamber, which
had not yet begun its discussion of the motion made,
on the subject by M. Toehrenbach. It is remarkable
that this Deputy has received a letter addressed to
him, with the post-mark of Stutgard, 18th of June,
of the following contents To the Deputy Toeh-
renbach—Man ! those who live, and think to live
longer, listen! K—e (Kotzebue) spoke against a
whole nation, and he is dead ; thou who speakest
against a .single class, and seekest to plunge it in
misery, think, of thy existence !' Other Deputies
have received similar letters, as also Mr. Brodhag,

Councillor of Archives, and editor of the Mee-
anger of Me Chambers, who has printed in his
Journal this curious Paper, with the consent of Mr.
Toehrenbach. Mr. Kern, Deputy from Friburg, who
made a motion for the abolition of the offices of the
High Foresters, is stated to have received a letter
conceived in very harsh terms, from a person hold-
ing a high office in the Administrationvf the Forests.
It is said that the Officers of the Grand Dial Forest,
will complain in a body of the imputations of raps=
city, neglect of duty, &c. which are alleged against
them in the motion in question.

All the papers of Professor Oken, at Jena, were
put under seal on the 29th June, by Commissioners

lof all the military operations agabist the rebels, of
whom there are still some bands beyond the Rio-
Blanco, though not Very •tiumerous. Every day we
hear of the taking of some of their Chiefs, and the
destruction of the pNeties they command. By the
Gazetitof to-day, me see that in the Province of
Guanawateo. the richest in mines, the soi-disant
Colonel 'of Rebels, JEAN CORONA, who has been
engaged in the rebellion since its very commence-
ment, has been surpt ised by the troops of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel OTA NO, and made prisoner. On
the side of Saint Augustin del Parmar, different
Chiefs have presented themselves to the Royal Au-
thorities in order to take the benefit of the Amnesty,

thiTnyt Chamber of the Diet of Baden, apro-
'positiost wiltlately made for an address of thanks to
his Mair.sri, for the firmness with which he has
resisted all attempts, on the part of the Court of
Rome, to mingle itself in the ecclesiastical affairs of
the Grand Duchy. The Chamber thought proper to
pass to the order of the day on this proposition ; but
another, precisely similar, has been •introduced by
M. DUTLENGE2 into the second or Chamber of De-
puties, who have resolved io take it into considera-
tion, and ordered it to be remitted to the Bureaus.

Last night, the Rev. Mr. HARRISON, accompanied
by two Peace•O6icers, left London, in a post-chaise,
for Chester.

It is said that after the Lona MAYOR had counter-
signed_ the Bench-warrant, for the apprehension of
Mr. HARRISON, Mr. Alderman WA llTHMANentered

-the room where his Lordship was sitting, at Giltspur-
street Compter, and in a somewhat angry tone, pro-
tested against the measure. He said he was as much
interested in the peace of the City as the Chief Ma-
gistrate, and he thought it a most unwise act, and
one that would create confusion, if not a general
battle. To this remonstrance the LORD MAYOR re-
plied, thatas he considered it his duty to order his
apprehension, he would not shrink from the respon-
sibility of discharging that-duty.- :He was even so
3riite as to inform the aforesaid Alderman, that he
not sit there to be dictated to by him, and that if
he had nothing else to say, he might leave the room !
Every man of sense and temper will agree with Mr.
Aldermsm WArrnsmo that the conduct of the LORD
MAYOR was precipitate in this instance. Mr. HAR-
RISON might have been secured without this defying
demonstration of power, and though happily no evil
consequences ensued from it, still it might'have been
remembered that multitudes are more frequently_
ruled by caprice than by reason ; and this haste o?
the Loitn-MAvou to display his authority might have
been followed by bloodshed and turmdt. It looked,
in fact, like a challenge to the people.

for the injury which the former had sustained by being

upon issue was joined.
Mr. SHEPHERD opened the pleadings, and Mr...TEß-
vis addressed the Jury on the part of the plaintiff
The Learned Counsel said, that the plaintiff was
a respectable farmer residing at Denchworth, irs the
county of Betis, and possessing landed property to
the amount of £3OOO or £4OOO. The defendant was
also a respectable farmer, residing at Weald, in the
parish of Bampton, in the county of Oxfbtd: The
plaintiff had a wife and six children, three daughters
,and three sons; the eldest daughter was married.to
Mr. Castle, a respectable farmer at Grcea r. MisS,
iMary Kimber was the second daughter, she; had
acted. as dairy-maid to her father, and Was abontle

back- and sometimes on foot he was always enter-

the inianded husband of Mary Kimber. After some
visits the defendant behaved in a very improper man-
ner to her, but she resisted his entreaties with the most
indignant feelings. He requested forgiveness, and
promised not to repeat such actions—she forgave
him, but he ceased to visit her from that time. About
Christmas 1816, Miss Kimbcr was with a Mr. and.
Miss Harris, spending a *day or tiro with a Mrs.
Clinch, at Weald. On the evening of their arrival
the defendant came in; and he, with Miss •Kiniber

weeks he went again, and continued his visits until,
the middle of May, 1817, when, unfortunately, he
accomplished his purposes, and Miss Kimber fell a'
sacrifice to his artifices. In the course, however, of
his latter visits, he told her sister; Martha Kimber, to
get ready to be bride-maid; for the wedding would
take place as soon as Mary was ready, and he should
wish her to spend a week with Mary at first—he also
told her that John Clinch was to give Mary away. On
the Bth of June he viited Miss Kimber again, and
afterwards without asssigning any cause, totally left
and neglected her. About six weeks after the last
meeting, she wrote to him, lo know why he did not

Miss Kiniber answered this letter, and stated, that
she much wished to see hint; but he took no notice
of it ; and she therefore requested her 'sister Martha
to call upon him, which ehirdid in September, 1817,.

Mr. TAUNTON addressed the Jury on behaffOf the
Defendant. He observed, that he; andhit teamed
Friend (Mr. Shepherd) who was with him in this
case, had given its, little trouble as possible to the
plaintiff's witnesses, and in pait'cular to the young
' woman who was 'the object ofthis action. The only
question he had asked her'
,related solely to the Pro-
he and situation in life of her fatk.r ; for, in tlti
instructions which he had received,' be hid been dkrii;
sired to steer clear of any observations that might' '
affect her future credit and welfare in the world.---:.
The present action was of a very simple description!.
it was to recover damages for the injury which tilt
plaintiff had sustained by having lost the-servkibt
his daughter during her confinement ; and the jarf
inlaid estimate• what the amount of that injury 'was.
It was a clear principle of law, as well as an'acknow-
ledged rule of justice, that where a
sdefendant had
been uilty of an injury,.he should not pay twice for
sit;, and; dierefbre, in'thii case the Jury should only
intkirdein their verdict the very precise damaget to
'which .the plaintiff was entitled. This was not an
;action for a breach of promise of marriage ; it was
not an action' brought by the daughter ; it was an
4:
;action in which the daughter was stated to be the
‘siervant of the father ; and the law declared, • that if
.the daughter be net at'the time of seduction an in-
mate in. thehouse of the father, no such action can.
be maintained. •"' `. • . • • -
•
'Mr.. Justice HOLItOYD said, • except it be proved.,
that she intended to return to her father's service.
Mr. TAUNTON admitted that this qualification was
correct, and 'thanked his Lordship for having stated
it. l't ' sttehgtheiied the argument which he had
urged, inasmuch as it shewed that loss of service was
the only ground of damages in actions like the pre-
sent. He repeated, thit be had no intention to cAst
any reflections upon the character and conduct of,
Miss Kimber, but he wished the Jury to consider all
the circumstances of this case in a' Calm and displea
sionate manner. It appeared that 'the parties met it;
a fair at Whichwood Fores in -.September...lBls:
They met accidentally, and.the defendant paid 'kis
addresses to Miss limber on an honourable footing.
She became displeased with his bebeVl6tit, and here
their acquaintance was broken eIF. —Al2ehritstrintts,
1816, Miss Kimber and her sister Martha went to
Weald, in 02fordshimwhere the defendant lived. It
was stated, that theywentap strtitl a day,er tWn,

upon an equality, and the passions were as strong in
the ewe as in the other. This was not the case dal
man of 80 or 40 seducing an inexperienced girl of
15. Miss Kimber had stated, that she had once re-,.
pulsed the defendant for improper behaviour ; She
ought, then, when she renewed her acquaintancin
with him, to have been more upon her guard. And
here (exclaimed the Learned Counsel) I must beg to
say a few words with respect to the general policy of
actions of this sort. In my opinion they are not the
best guards for female chastity. A young woman,
in balancing whether she shall yield to the solicita-
tions of a man, or to the gratificationof her own pas-
sions, may say, " I can either make him marry me,
and make me an honest woman, or I can naake hint
pay handsomely." The present is a. sort of, action
which has multiplied upon us• eery gre_aiTY of 'late
years ; not that human nature irvieilit•thiti Teal.:
ways has been, but because there is mole artfulness
in the conduct of young women. It had been said.
that the defendant, in this. case,3flei. to hili Ric-PE-

What was the sum which the defendant suited? 'lt .

and he had married another Lady. But the Jpry .
would consider all the circumstances of the case; and
not suffer themselves to be led away by the excess of
their feelings.
Mr. Justice Hot.ltoTb sumined up the case, and
told the Jury that they were called upon to.gite the
plaintiff a compensation in damages for the Injury he
had sustained by losing his daughter's seryie. The
action was not brought by the young woman; her
ground of action cotdd be fora breach•of promise of
marriage only, to be proved by other evidence then
her own. They were not to take into consideration

Miss Kimber answered this letter by saying, her
father would meet him at Witney on the Thursday;
kind her father, accompanied by his nephew,. Mr:
Butler, did meet him ; when the defendant promised
to marry her, upon his giving her £BOO, saying he
was, or should be, worth double that sum himself.
The plaintiff told him, he would give hint horses or
'sheep, or he would gibe him landed security; but he
woeld not confine himself to £BOO, as after his death,
he-should give his children all his property equally
between them, and he would not for the sake of one
Injure the others ; and that he would rather the de-
endant had run him through with a knife, than have
ebauched his daughter. The defendant said, that
. - had'nothing to say against the plaintiff's daughter,
'she was a very good young woanan.. Nothing was
. - on at this meeting ; but in November the de-
.... . called on Miss Kimber, at her father's house,
a said .he was then very low in spirits, having
.pried his father, but that it should soon be odelsid;
- d kiwis time it was aided (meaning " settled," or
he would soon marry the daughter of the plain"!
'ff). He also stated,. that his father had bad a very
great regard for her, and had, in contemplation of
ibis marriage with her, left him all his goods; that
Pis aunt had left him £l,OOO, and his uncle would
'leave him £2,000, and that in a few days he would
come and see her again. He, did not, however, do
so; and on the 11th February, 1818, Miss Kimber
was delivered of a male child. About seven weeks
afterwards the defendant went to see her and the
child, and spent the whole day with her. Nothing'
then passed as to the mart iage. In April she wrote him
a letter, and received the following reply in July :—.,
~ Miss—l received your letter on the 9th of. April, and was
surprised at your father not giving me an answer himself, with-
wt sending try Mr. Clinch the contents; but such contents are
not what I wish ; therefore I cannot, nor will not enter into
them terms ; and as for a child's share, I wish to know whit
that is. lam not ashamed to own what little I have • and, by
that reason, I am surprised at your father's offer.. Soon after
Thu and I became acquainted, your father and I was walking
one Sunday afternoon ; be was -saying that he had 100 acres of
land of his own, with paying a trifling suns or two, which in-
duced me to continue our acquaintance as usually ; and my be:
ing led on by such fine words as them, has brought it to what-
it really is ; and as for a person to pretend this thing or that,
thing when he knSws to the contrary, he ought, let him be who-,
ever he will, to be ashamed of himself ; and for a person to lead
another under such pretences as them, never ought to live. Yet,
there are them in the world which take great delight in leading
young people into errors of that description ; but I will slaver%
give way to such pretences while I am able to defend myself•—;
I wish nothing but fair play; yet, turning all things aside, 11',
r father will not comply with say request, I hope you ad,
im will act as you think proper, and as soon as convenient; for

I hope you will return me an answer as soon a osavenlent.

Miss Kimber still hoped that ike defendant would,
marry her till the month of goeember last, when :he
heard that he was insured to Miss Cooke, who re-
sided near Burford, in Oxfordshire. This case would
be proYed in evidence to the Jury ; and it would
then remain for thenl, under the directions of the
Learned Judie. to' give sech compensation in 4%-.
wages as they thought the plaintiff was entitled to
receive.
Mary Kimber said, diet, inlBls she lived as dairy-
maid with her father. At Whichwood Forest fair she
met the defendant ; he said he wished to pay his ad-
dresses to her, and to marry her. He visited her'
several times with the consent of her father and mo.
titer, his intention to marry her being made known'
to them. On one occasion, in the course of those
visits, he made some improper advances to her, which,
she repulsed ; he then promised never to repeat such
actions, but he discontinued his visits. At Christmas,
1816, she met him at Mrs. Clinch's, when he renew-
ed the courtship. He continued to visit her at het
father's house till May, 1817, when, by holding out-
promises of a speedy marriage, he accomplished her
seduction. On the 11th of February, 1818, she *al
brought to bed of a boy ; the child was still 'living:

marriage, tellingher it should soon be bald ; bbt
in November last he married Miss Cooke. The with{
