the best-natured of her friends in the face, after being
thus rej ctOcl ? The mother's conduct threw an ingre.
dient of cruelty into the case; but let her prove her
insinuatane if she could. There was nothing of the sort
on the record. It would be shewn that the defendant
bought plate for the maitiage, and went about a house
for them to live in afterwards. He was of an agemature
enough to be sensible of what he was doing. It
was for the Jury then, who were themselves fathers of
families, to say what damages ought to be awarded to
a young woman who was thus basely deceived, and that
upon a subject in which her prospects in life, her health,
her best feelings, and her peace of mind during her
future life, were so deeply concerned. He left the apse
viith confidence in their lunch., knowing that they would
not aggravate the young woman's wrongs by a super-
added 'malt of small or trifling damages. The Learned
-Counsel then proceeded to call his witnesses.

father's business, and of coming .into the whole of ,it;
'bout two years. ago he a.ked to be introduced to my
sister, in or4er to pay his addresses to her ; he continued
his attentions for a considerable time, hardly missing
an evening of seeing her ; his father and mother
knew* of it. His grandmother also knew of it, and pry
sister has been at her house. The defendant sent to
town Some time in the year 1826. Up to that time
the attachment had gone on between them. He had
continued his professions, and I have strong reason
to believe that the feeling was mutual. lie wrote
letters to her from London. I have received a note
from him, and know his, handwriting. He returned
from London in the latter end of the summeriof •
1826,. and told me it was his patents wish for.tbem
to be married in the lattkr end of September, and

Sarah Paine, the wife of the hat witness, knew of•the
defendant's paying his addresses to her sister, as had
been stated. He appeared to be sincere in his profes-
