Mr. CLAtt[e opened this case to the following vied: '
Gentleurin of the Jury, I have had some experi-
ence in cases of this nature ; I have heard many more
sta,ekrin Cowls Of Justice; but never did I hear of .1
ease so aggravated AS the present. The plaintiff's
father is a most respectable Gentleman in Walcm, in
this county ; he has eight children, four suns and firm
daughters; las sons are most respecrtbly settled in
life; one of them is married to a sister of the defen-
dant; three of the daughters are married in highly re.
spectable families; the fourth is the unfortunate plsin-
tifE in this case. The deleiidant is a young man in the
same rank in life ; his father has left Lim a tot tun,'
isc2o,oot) ; he his been at the University, arid 1:1;43 in
the style of a Gentleman. He openly paid Hs ad-
dresses to the plaintiff; it was the talk not only of the
family, but of the neighbourhood. that they write to
be married. In the coidideitzt and affection of such a
situatioc, he meanly dettoyed her hippiness and corn.
fort in Irk. In an unguarded moment she surrender, d
to him all that could render her respected, honoured.
and happy in life. When be was upon to per-
form his promise, he insulted her by brutally sayiig,
he had unshed hi. horses and turned them to ;
then he had a sprained kg ; at last, he could not at
present, but he would afterwards mar: y her ; but
atter O. child had been born, and she was made the
hapless victim of her own unguarded confidence arid
his infamous baseness, Lc tells her that she would get
all that the law allows her, two guineas for her lying-
in, and 2s 61. a week for the maintenance of the child
for seven years; he added, that to procure this, she
must go before magistrate and swear the child his.
He really trusted that the reluctance of the plaintiff to
Appear in a Court of Justice would protect him. Con-
duct like this..hocked by the very mention of it. Duly
conceive this to he the case of a daughter or sister of
your oan. I know thai my friend near me will Mate
a powerful 'and • eloquent address to you for the de-
fendant; bat you form your verdict according to the
evidence, and not according to any speeches of his or
mine; I shall therefore lay the evidence betere you,
and confidently leave the case in your it..nds.

Mr. Everton very often at my master's bouse. He
always called for Mary, and then they were aim c
together in the parlour. I considered him her sweet-
heart. •
