—Re-examined by Mr. T0em0....-WEttess has cow
given up keeping school. Mr. Jones never visited at
her house, except when parties were there; Miss
Evans never had been a pupil of hers, but visited her
while her sisters were there. She believed Bush was
the name of the gentleman said to be the other bran
of Miss Evans ; she did not tell Mr. Jones to svplk
out of her house when he said, he liked to have two
strings to his bow, because be was her husband's vi-
sit-.r ; she did not communicate the affair to Miss
Evans, because the thing was every where talked
of; the trial at Shrewsbury was in every newspaper,
and Mr. Jones's conduct with respect to the two la-
dies was perfectly notorious at Carnarvon. When
she first knew Mr. Jones, which was about six years
alto, he was what they called a country squire; she
did not know that Mr. Jones had been a common Ia•
bourer in a slate quarry ; she never knew him in any
isituation except that in which he now moves; never
heard him say from whom he derived his property.
Richard Evans said, he was the father of the plain-
tiff; has been for about 13 years luti a half Collec-,
for of Assize at Carnarvon; has five daughters and
two sous ; the plaintiff is between 27 and 28 years
of age—Mr. Jones, ever since be knew hint, had
passed for a gentleman, and repteseated himself as
possessing property; he was some years older than
his daughter, whom he had visited for about five
I years; he never disapproved of Mr. Jones as a hus.
band fur his daughter, as he considered him a very
good sort of gentleman. In the year 1815, in the
month of May, the defendant desired witness to go
to a sale, to look at some furniture for his cottage ;
about the 10th of July that year, the defendant
called on him at his house, and made a distinct pro-
posal to marry his daughter—witness s tad he bad no
objection; the other asked what ha could give her,
although lie did not want any thing ; he told witness
then, that he had one thousand pounds a year ; that
at the death of a relation, he should gave three hun-
dred pounds ayear.and had an expectation of receiving
4700 a-year more. He asked witness if he would
give his daughter 4500 on her marriage he said he
would ; then defendant seemed pestectly satisfied,
and said he should settle something hanosnme upon
his daughter, and that if she died without issue, the
850 U should go back to him, as he had a large
family. His wife was present at this conversa-
tion ; his daughter was then with an uncle of her's
in Staffordshire, and as soon as she returned witness
communicated the affair to her., Desendant, after'
this, intimated that he had something to settle at
Shrewsbury Assizes; that there was a cloud hanging
over him there, and that when the Assizes were over
be would return and settle the business with witness
and his daughter. In the end of July he returned
from shre wsbur y Assizes, .and remained at Career-
von till about the middle of August; he went away,
and returned in September. when he visited at his
House as usual; he quitttti Carnarvon in October;
parted from witness in his usual friendly manner.
At that time witness had nut die leas; suspicion that
the defendant was married to another; he heard od
it, however, some time atter ; and in July or August,
1816, was assured of hit being married. Fur a long
time after he left Carnal von he never heard any
thing of the defendant, nor did he know where be
was. His daughter's affeztions were entirely engaged
to Mr. Jones, who seemed to have a great affection
in return for her.

Re-examined by Mr. SCARLET.—Witness said be,
was inerrinsontro pay the expenses of this action, nor
had he employed the attorney ; his daughter must
pay the expense, she had wherewithall to do so. Al.
ter the loth of July nothing was said about the mar-,
riage. He did xot know of the defendant paying his
addresses to any other lady but his daughter. He
diJ not know whether Miss Lytball lived in Caner-
vuu. He might have heard reports, but he did not
recollect them ; he thought the trial at Shrewsbury
had some effect on Mr. Jones's mind, as he appeared
very dejected when he came back. He knew, by
hearsay, that Mr. Jones had been a.witness at the
trial at Shrewsbury, but elkl not know that he had
married Miss Lytball. When he came, back he did
nor with to ask any question about marrying his
slaughter, because he seemed to be so unhappy in ills
mind. He had heard that Mr. Junes and his father
had been labourers together in a mine, until a for-
tune was left to the lather. He believed defendant
could read, because he had seen him wtite; he wrote
tolerably well.
Q. Would you have employed him to write in your
excise oilier l—A. Oh yes, Sir he would have made
a very good exciseman—(d
Wituess knew nothing of a Mr. Bush paying his
addresses to his daughter; he might have heard of
the name of such i person. Before Mr. Jones went
away in September, he never said he could not marry
his daughter, and up to the last moment he addressed
her in the character of a lover.
.Miss Mary Bevan said she was first cousin to Miss
Evans; her lather resides in Staffordshire. In July,
lbls, her cousiu was on a visit with her. While she
remained there, Mr. Junes came to see Miss Evans,
and brought a letter from her father; he came on
the krsday._ and went away on the Sunday. He be-
haved to Min Evans at a lover. He said his cottage
was nearly fitted up—that be was very comfortable,
and wanted nothing to complete his happiness but
his dear little Anne. This was whets be was going
to Shrewsbury. He asked witness to accompany him
to Boxton, where he was to be married, and obtained
the consent of witness's mother to that purpose. He
used to Call the witness his cousin. Witness retorted
to Carnarvon with Moss Evans. On their,way they
met Mr. Jones, at a friend's house, and there tw
still continued to pay her the same attention ..s ever.
There was no difference whatever in his behaviour
to her. Witness afterwards saw him at Carnarvon,
where he remained till the middle of October, and
all the time paid Miss Evans the attention of a lover,
and witness had not the smallest doubt of his inten-
tion to marry her. At this time (the middle of Oc-
tober) he talked of an exchange of cottages. He
went away, took a most affectionate leave of Miss
Evans, and they expected him back very LIP.I; but
be did not return.

Re•exa mined by Mr. Gt.san. —Witness never heard
hri Cuthin say •he ti,id been engaged to marry a Mr.
Ed wards, of Liverpool. In October, 1815, bet cou-
am did not say she thought ersry thing broken off.
l he Rev. Mr. Wilkinson said he was the Minister
of the town. He produced the register of the mar-
riages there. On the 4th of September The. Jones
biehelor, and Mary Anc.c Lythall, ipiastsr, we:A,

tuarr!ecl tk.ere. He married t-e parties, but knows
nothirg of the!: persnr s.
Mr. Wilson said Ile was present at t!..e marriage
in question: Mr. Jones was that day married to Miss
Lythall. The signature was Jonzs's hand-writing
The first initial was a small!.

This was the case on the part of the plaintiff.
Mr. To.rmo addressed the Jury or. the part of
the defendant. He began by stating, that the case
contained nothing of that aggravation set forth by
his Learned Friend. There was no atternr made '
Thew, as was slated in the Record, that the Lady
had lust another match in consequence of the .Itien•
tions of the clOtaaiant ; nor was any special cl?mage
whatever proved. In July, 1816, the father must
have known of the conduct of the delentiant ; and
why was not the action brought sooner ! and why
was not the venue laid in the proper count}, aril the
cause tried in the county of Carnarvon, where the
parties were known ? O, if they did not like Car.
narvon, why dad not they try the cause in 12,!4r,p_
shire, or some other neighbouring county ? There
were five sisters of the plaintiff, and not o:.c of them
was called to prove the courtship ; no, Unt instead of
them they called a schoolmistress, with whom Miss
Evans never had been a pupil. They produced no
letter from the defendant—all the proof of attach-
ment must rest on the testimony of two or three
witoesses. As to the defendant, it was proved,
when he came back from Shrewsbury, that he had
been in a state of extreme dejection ; and it was im-
possible to be ignorant of the cause of that dejection.
A man in the situation of a C Arctor of Excise must
have known what passed on the ; and th st he
was bound to waxy Miss Lydian ; tot soch appear.
ed on the trial. Yet aithough he niu:t have known
this fact, he never spot;: to Mr. Junes on the subject
of marrying hls daughter. 11:n as to the e.e!e.,el.litt's
property, tittle was not the sliAlitest evidence to prove
its amount ; such proof might have been given, but
it was not. In fact, the de.enalant had been a poor
labourer, and, by some turn of good f, rtune, came
into the possession of a small property. The question
for the Jury to consider was, whether any promise of
marriage had been at all made ? C: this he main-
tained there was no satisfactory e), idence, beransc
much better evidence might be produced, it such evi.
denc- enisced. He therefore hoped that the Jitry
would take these points into consideration, and di)
that justice ro his client which in their consciences
they skould consider him entitled to.

Lord ELLENDAV Wtill observed, that it was stated
in the record OA the young lady had lost another
match, in consequence of the attentions of the defen-
dant ; but the aseut conducting the business, might
hare ex:rcised a sound discretion in not bringing tor.
ward any evidence to prove that tact; and as to not
laying the venue ha the c. tuity where tile parties were
known, the me certainly ought to have been tried
there, as the most proper pl.,ce. The Jury mast then
take the co se ac they found it, and judge of its merits
fret-lam facts given in evidence. Tie father knew
, that mere was some impedinicnt in the way of
marriage,when thedelerdant came back from Shrews-
bury ; and then, as the father of a family, he ought
to hare prcbed that matter to the bottom. lint still
he might have had some delicacy on the subject. The
delentnt, however, even at this time, carried on h.,
attentoThs to the lady, who had no reason to suspect
that he meant to Weak his engagement. If the Jury
believed the witnesses. theta could bra—to-ilotstst of a
positive promise of marriage haring been made, and
of this pionnae being broken. The Jury, theretnr.., if
they beiteved that fact, must give such damages as
appeared to them to be a just compensation for the
injury they considered the lady to have suffered.
The Jury, In less than one minute, found a verdict
for the plaintiff—Datm.ges, One Thoutostri Pounth.

DUNAMILiv. PICKERING.

This was an action by the administrator of the
estate and effects of a French merchant, named Le
Taikur, to recover the amount of certain bills of ex,
change given by the defendant to the latter for
ney advanced to him whilst he was confined as a pri-
soner of war at Buurnay in Picardy, in the year 1795.
The defence set up was, that the securities in ques-
tion were illegal, because given to an alien enemy in
a time of war ; but it appearing, that upon the re-
turn of peace, the defendant had promised by letter to
pay Ih bills, together with interest, to the intestate.
Lord ELLXKII9ROLGII over-ruled the objection, and
the plaintiff had a verdict for £944).

Bowroarer.—A detachment of the Life-guards
attended in Pall-mall yesterday, to assist the Police
in regulating the carriages, and their aid was called
in by reason of the violent and disorderly conduct of
Mr. Husgisson's coachman. This fellow was pro-
ceeding with his master's empty carriage from White-
boll, to take up a gentleman at the Royal Hotel, the
corner of St. James's-street, whom Mr. HUMISSON
was to present to the Prince at the Levee. The coach-
man endeavoured to enter Pall-mall at the bottom of
the Haymarket, bin he was stopped by the 1,1 u eet
constables stationed there, it being cinsuary to the re-
gulations adopted for the entriages at the time of
holding the Levee ; the coachman, however, persisted
in his endeavour to p •si, and tinged the constables
with his whip. ftlr. Lee, the high-constable for West•
minster, w.:s near the spot, and went to the assistance
of tl,e cors!ables ; but big presence had no virect upon
the violence of the coachman, as he flogged him also
most severcly. and the conflict continued till the mili-
tary came .ta the assistance of the po:ice, when the
cu.....l.tran was overpowered and pulled off the hoz,
ard was crnvued to St. blutin's watch-house,
where was confined until seven o'clock ;he was
(Ler. conveyed to this Office, where he underwent an
examit.ation. Mr. Lae. the WI constable and others,
attended to prove the charges against him, and he
was ordered to find bail, or be committed for the dif-
ferent assaults.

Wousittp.sTactr.--Yesterday David Bernard, a
yor'.ho: respectable appearAuce, was examined before,
J. G:IYOP.1), Esq. en a charge of stealing £4O from

Green.—The p:esecutt,r's son had been on intimate
terms with the prisoner, aLd he invited him to his ,

LAIV IR7ELLICENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH. MAY sta.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
ANN EVENS, SPINSTER. EN .thNES. IsQ.
Mr. GURNEY. as leading Couissel for the plaintiff,
laid the particulate of this case before Inc Juiy• It
•was an action in which the plaintiff, A reseectable
Yount Lady, sonela a compensation in damages for
a most serious nips'', that of a breach ill promise of
marriage, a promise made alter much solicitation on
the part of the defendant to gain the Lady's affec-
tions, and Mitch promise he was now incapable of
fulfilling, in consequence of his being married to
another woman. This was the case which the Jury
should have proved to them in evidence, and which,
I7e had no doubt, would be accompanied by a large
demand on their justice. The plaintiff was the
eldest of five daughters, whose father was a respec-
table G talemett tesiding at Carnarvon, in Wales,
where he was Callectar of Excise. The defendant
ras a Gentleman of fortune, residing in Carnareon•
:bite, and ineeri.ed from his father an estate, the in•
came of which was uposads of one thousand pounds
a year he had hes des considerable expectations of
having 'impiety lett him by relatives. These facts
would b • ia.aied from his own mouth. In the year
1514, the celetidatit being then 27 years of age, com-
menced an acquaintance with, and paid his addresses
is Miss Evans, who was some years younger than
hint. His s.ddresses were received, and the acquain-
.
tar.ce went on for some time. Shortly after, Miss
Evans went to reside for some time at Liverpool
with her brether, who was settled there in business.
The deteident visited her here also ; and after she re-
turned to hev toasty% house he continued las visit.,
until the year 1815. A thirour then began to Lit
spread abroad that the defendant was 'easing his
addresses to another Lady ; he was questioned on
this point by a female, whom he should call as a
witne•s, and to 'Ahura he made auswer, that hr won.
tiered any one could think of such a thing, as be was
engaged to Miss Evans. After this, he set about
furnishing a cottage and making the necessary pre.
paratiOnsim the marriage. Ina subsequent conver.!
ration he had with a Lady, he declared that he was
engaged to Miss Evans ; and in a conference he had
with tier lather, he expressed his readineas to receive
the sum of five hundred pounds along with his daugh-
ter. This conference happened in July, 1816, and
at that time the defendant bad occasion to attend as
a witness on a very remarkable trial at the Assizes
at Shrewsbury, in which a Miss Lythall was concer-
ned ; and it was then he connected himself in mar-
riage with this very Miss Lythall. He still kept up
his acquaintance with Miss Evans after be returned
from the Assizes ; and daily associated with her and
her family, until the in:Ahem Oct- bee, when he took
an effectionate leave of the Lady, still Holding out
to her the promise of a marriage, and never returned.
for twelve months ; during the whole of which time
no one knew what had become of him ; and it was
rot until the month of August last that the family of
Mr. Evans heard, to their utter astonishment, that
about twelve months before he had been married to
Miss L)thali ; and that alter such marriage took
• place, be visit •d and repr-.ted his attentions and pro.
mitre to M.ts Evans. Thus were all her hopes, which
had been centered in this marriage, at once blasted ;
zed thus were all her prospects of future happiness
destroyed. It was atmecessary for him to dwell
larger on this subject; it would, however. be fir the
Jury to say what reparation a Lady, treated in this
way, was entitled to. The defendant could not al.
ledge in his defence, that he broke off the match from
any levity or misconduct on the part of the Lady, for
after his marriage with another, he came.back, and
still p.etended to cffer his hand to tier. It this case
was made out, in the manner be confidently expected
it would hc, the simple question would be, what da-
. that man ought to pay, who, alter gaining a
Lady's affecti• ns, deserted her for the purpose of
clandestioely m olying mini:ter, and who had aggra-
vated the mimics he thus inflicted by his baseness
Mrs. Pritcuard said she lived at Catnatvon, where
*she had kept a sch-cil for the education of young la-
dies. She was acquainted fur eleven years with Miss
A. Evans. In MI she had four of her stews under
her care ; two or them were with her in 181?..! The
plaintiff used sometimes to come to her house. Shel
hist saw Mr. Junes at Mr. Evans's •house, and at.
tetwards sew him at her own house, when Miss
Evans was there. The defendant sleeted her the
same Attention a gentleman would who was paying
his addresses. Witness remembered Miss Evans
going to Livespool, and while she was there Mr. Jones
desir, d witness to request her income home; As earner-
von was not the same place when she was absent. In
1814 some reports were circulated of Mr. Jones pay-
ing his addresses to a Miss Lythall, at Richmond ;
and when Mr. Jones was spoken to on the subject he
denied the truth tit the r-ports. At one couveraa-
. Con she had with him, be said be had beard that Miss
. Eians had another beau at Liverpool, but that be
would go there, and make him dance away very
quick. At another conversation, witness asked him
why' be did not get married ! he said he was waiting
to matte the old gentleman (meaning the father. of
Miss Evans) motto down handsomely. Witness I'f/-
collected the parties going to a ball; they denied to-
gether ; and, by Mr. Jones's desire, Miss Evans re.
heed vs daace with any othet gentleman ; as he said
it was fit they should dance together, and with no
others, after they were engaged to be married. In
the summer of 1814 Mr. Jones went to the Assizes
at Sinewsbury ; about ten days after they were over
he returned to Carnarvon—she spoke' to him about
the'other lady, and be said Miss Evans knew the
whole of the business; that he had written to her
'bout it, and that she forgave him. Witness men-
tioned Miss Lythall's name to him, and asked it he
bad not given a promise to Miss Lytball's father to
marry her. He replied, Do you believe that ?"
Witness answered that she did not know what to be-
ileve, as she understood he had made such a pro-
.
muse. He declared he would never write to or see her
• again. When she spoke to him about the two court-
ships, be said he should like to have two strings to
• his bow. Witness then said she should give him up,
and desired funs to go halo .he pat lour to the gentle_
Men. At am time witheas hau ceased to, visa Mr.
Evans's ;wily, or she would have cueosnunicated
this circumstance sis them. The eeedigh of Miss
Evans was always so correct that she had held her
up as a woad to the yonng ladies under her care.
