Mr. Jetty's stated, that-this was an action for the
seduction of the plaintiff's wife, which wa- attended
with circumstances of great aggravatiOn. The plain-
tiff was an imlkeeper at Shipton, ir. the county of
Oxford ; and the-defendant a -gentleman of landed
property in the neighbourhood, of the annual value of
£1,809: he was also a married man, and the father
of thirteen children, all living! The plaintiff and
his wile bad lived very happily together, tit their
happiness was ruined by the arts of the defendant.--;
She was extremely beautiful: but not less virtuous.
She had brought the plaintiff three children, the
pledges of their chaste loves. With what agony
must he now look upon these children, whose linea-
ments reminded hire of her he had lost for ever.--
The defendant. in ,the beginning nf the year 1818,
takiu advantage of a temporary absence of the
plaintiff, prevailed upoil Mri.,Pauling to elope with:
him, and they had lived togethereVer since.
The marriage being proved, a bmartjale de chanties
from the Horns Tavern, Doctors Commons, kept by
Mr. Lovegrove; swore that the defendant and Mrs.
Pauling came there in March; 1818, and lived as
man and Wife- for some • time, under the names Of
Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. On her cress-examination,

few months ago, to identify Mrs. Pauling, she was

dishonour, and made a profit of the charms of his
wife. In gazing on his children, he probably could

onging to the Arkell family. The plaintiff proved,
.by the most satisfactory and respectable testimony,
that the defendants, after receiving a notice to quit,
the estate, wantonly cut down the grove, and carried
to off-the premises, although they Thad 'been served

The Jury, which was special, returned a o.erdiet
