Cross-examined by Mr. ADou'uus—l am not any
• thing. but live with my grandmother; the clatend.mt is
' my cousin. This conversation took place in the latter
end of December, a little before Christmas; I knew of

my cousin's making his addresses to Mita-Ward; not
the whole time, for I was in London part of tke time;
L was there when the defendant was there; I did not
know of his writing to the pli*intiff; he was much agi-
t ited at being refused; 1 knew thereavas a young lady
• in the case, but did not know who she was; I never

heard him say he would many her; it was she who
broke off the match, not he; he was in a mind to marry
her ; she said the would let him know that she could
• not marry him unless he could keep' her a servant; it is
with his grandmother that I live; it was to his father's
shop that I took her; from that hour to this he has not
been to the house, that I know of. _

Mrs. Sant!' Boyer, the grandmother, was called to
weak to a conversation with Mr. Paine, hot, admitting
that the plaintiff was not present, her evidence could not
be received.

Mrs. Sarah Green, the defendant's mother., was the
next witness. In December Miss Ward came to my
mother's, and sent my father to my house for my son.
• I told him my son was gone to church. He came
three times before the defendant returned. I told
• my son that he was wanted at his grandmother's,
but be said he would not go. I then went myself.
- I saw Miss Ward, to wlmm I said, What is the
matter? She said, Oh, I want to see your son—it
is sothing to you. I said, I think it is to me. I told
• her I understood that she had pot ithe marriage off

ta my knowledge. She sairfsbe did not know that, and
