the defendant called, and inquired if MIS. Hull ens
at home? she told him she was, and not very well ;
the Major went up stairs, and into the bed-room ;
Mrs. Hall was then inted ; he remained there about
an hour; the witness then went down into the kitchen;
the circumstance was strong in her recollection, fir
she remarked the Major was dressed (as at present)
in a blue coat and round hat.--t The 'Counsel for the
plaintiff rested the case here]:
Mr. UN ACK E addressed the Jury far the defendant

l—The Learned Counsel then called
Mrs. Phalan, who related that she went to live
with the plaintiff and his wife soon after their mar-
riage, when Mr. Hall commenced a course of ill con-
duct towards his wife; that he treated her brutally,
used to strike her, and to knock her down. The first
commencement of his bad conduct towards her wan
evinced by using the most abusive language, and in
about a year after their marriage he began to ill-treat
her; this wa.s'long before the defendant visited there
When Mrs. Hall left her husband's horse, witne.s
went to the Rev. Mr. Gray, and stated the unfottt:-
nate difference between Mr'. Hall and his vt ife ; and
the Reverend Gentleman urged a reconciliation, and
effected it. Mrs. Phalan went on to state, that one
Sunday, when she went up stairs to call the plallitiT
out of bed, she heard screams, and immediately burst
open the door of the room ; that she there , saw Mrs.
Hall standing in one corner, and the plaintiff in an
attitude as it he meant to strike her : Nfrs. Hall burst
into tears, and said, " Mamma, indeed I am not to
blame." Mr. Hall was in a violent rage, and he re-
quested his wife to beg his pardon ; and the tVitkorsS
told her, whether she was wrong or not, she had
better do it. She bent the knee, and asked his par-
-don ; but before she rose he struck her a blow on the
stomach, and then dragged her by the hair. The
plaintiff in his rage broke the looking-glass and the
wash-hand basin; he afterwards with a whip at-
tempted to strike her; he took up the tea-cups and
dashed them into the tire, and with the poker smashed
a favourite ornament that had been given to her p:e-
vious to their marriage. _
One of the Jury here asked if Mrs. Hall did not
use any provoking language:
The witness replied, Mrs. Hall was of a haughty
temper, and might have said something to incite his
anger. Mrs. Phalan continued to state, that these
circumstances took place before Major Barrow be-
came acquainted with the family ; she always believed
the plaintiff to be of a jealous disposition ; it would
be two years next month since witness left the plain-
tiff's house, on account of his had conduct t..wards
his wife. During the last winter, when she ‘‘ as at
Annapolis, she received two letters from the plaintiff,
which she had handed over to Major Barrow.--rllie
letters were then produced, and rather confusedly
read ; one of which, dated 6th January, 1820, com-
plaining that Mrs. Hall had left him, contained a
passage nearly to the following effect : " Mrs. Hall
has long formed an intimacy with Major Bartow ; 1
do not say anything about it,
.but, on the contrary,
countenance it ; because,' if I did not, it would do me
an injury:]--The plaintiff had received all the rents
that were coming to Mrs. Hall, and had never settled
one shilling upon her.
On her cross-examination, Mrs. Phalan admitted
that Mrs. Hall was rather c,f an irritable disposition,
and frequently had occasion to check her temper be-
fore their marriage.
Susan. Kennedy said, she lived with the plaintiff
not more than a fortnight, about three years ago;
she never saw anything of an unhappy tendency be-
tween them, except that, when she was going up to
bed one night, Mrs. Hall called her into the room,
and she found him sprinkling water in Mrs. Hall's
face.; the plaintiff told her Mrs. Hall had had a tit,
and that was all she knew about it—(2l laugh).—
Mrs. Hall had informed her that the plaintiff ill-
treated her, but she never saw anything of the kind.
Mr. John Howe, jun. stated, that sopn after the
plaintiff came out of jail, he had a conversation with
him on the subject of the.defendant's intimacy with
`Mrs. Hall ; and he acknowledged that he was aware
of it ; but that for the sake of peace -and quietness, he
would not say anything about it.
Major James Blair deposed that he was J3arrack-
Master-General at this place, and that the plaintiff
was in that department as first clerk : his general
character seemed to be that of a very mild man.
The Hon. Judge STEWART addressed the Jury,
who retired for about half an hour, and delivered
their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £4OO.

Blia.swr.—Yesterday Andrew Sri!lard, 75 years of age, was
brought before the sitting Magistrate, at Marlborough-street
Office, on the charge of intermarrying with Mary Burgess, his
first wife being alive. Ann SpiUatd, a respectable-looking fe-
male stated that she was the first wife of the prisoner; her maiden
name was Hovendon ; she was married to the prsoner in the
year 1715; she produced the certificate of her marriage, signed
by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, Minister of Bedminster, Somersetshire;
he left her about three years ago.—Mr. John Palmer, of Ox-
ford-street, stated that the prisoner lodged at his how, a short
time, when, through the medium of a female lodger, a match
was made between the gay redrwer and Mary Burgess and his
daughter officiated as bride's-maid; they were married at St.
Dunstan's Church ; he afterwards saw the first wife of the pri-
soner, and then thought it his duty to become prosecutor in this
ciae.—Mr. Oliver, the Solicitor fir the prosecution, said that
he bad not the certificate of the second marriage of the prisoner,
but that in a short time he could procure sufficient evidence.—
Mr. CONANT said, to give him time he would remand the pri-
soner until Monday, for further examination.
