which he had tee honour to lay before them was a case
pieserting as strong clams for damages as any ever

Gentleman lising on his property at East Ham. near
Balking; she hid five sisters and ta o brotheis, all if
whom had regarded their latha's paternal care by a
Bourse of most exemplary conduct. The defendant ass

the son of a hi,hly respectable thnileman. who was

his having nut been enabled to complete a treaty he

only looking for a plausible excuse for *so doing.—
This was at last found by quartelliog with the Lady's
father, and from that time he had teased to visit the
family. The consequence to the Lady was, that vile

had cast her off, it was for the Jury to say what dm

The principal evidence acidified was that of the father
of the plarritiff, who proved the facts i.f the decided*
