CRINI. CON.-WILTON U. WEBSTER, M. D.

Mr. Whateley upeueri the plead:n:ls, and stated that this was,
au action to 'recive. damages from the defendant for having se-
duced the-plaintiff's wife. -
Mr; Semeant Tidfourd addressed the jury. This, he stated,.
wtis•a case of no eminion occurrence; and involved more than
ordinary •gliiit on the part of the defendant. Here the grave
had closed over the unhappy victim of his seduction. That cir-
lcumstance he Mentioned at the outset, because to some it might
'appear that there was not a sufficient cauee'for 'bringing' the
preient action: Bat the plaintiff has in truth- done his duty to
;hinrselfaindlo his eharaeter.• in thus proceeding against a per-
'son who hat availed himself of the confidential relation in
which' he stood to debauch the plaintiff's wife.- The plaintiff be-
dons to a.ciass of soviet v, thongh in. rank inferior to that of' the
jury; yet possessing as much virtue as theirs. and as capable of
:enjoying the happiness arising from the affections of married
life. He ifiv respectable mercer and alraper,•carreing on busi-
H 111.51, hi the town of Shrewsbury. Haritry, formed an attach-
'meat to Miss 'Eliza Hughes. then about twenty years of age,
li ennts married -to her in 1815, being then twenty-nine. She
was a young.l-ady-of personal attractions and some accomplish-
ments. They had threeehitdren, two of whims are now dead.
For several years the plaintiff and his-wife lived very happily
together; until they became acquainted with the defendant.
Be is a physician residing in this town: He belones to 'a most
honourable profeieion, his father hail filled the office of high
-sheriff of the Isle .of Anglesey', and • for the last nine years' he
has been practising in Shrewsbury. in Iti33 he lens called itr to
attend one of the plaintiff's children, and a short tune after
Mrs. Wilton became his patient. lie advised the plaintiff to
'remove cwt. the ceeetry for the brutolt tier health, and
according accordingly a cottage was taken by him in the. neigh-
bourhood. There the defendant continued to visit her. 'file
plaintiff himself became an well, and wits receurinended by the
defendant to go on a tour to the. Llighlandsof Scotland: Up to
thavtime there was no reason to believe that Mrs. Wilton's • af-
fections had been alienated from her husband;• and the learned
sergeant read two letters from• her to him; during his absence
On that tour, which contained expressions of love and affection.!
'But whether the defendant bid seigeested the tour for the pur-
pose of effecting some
itpreconeeiyed design upon her, he could
nut say, but certaitilYappeared ilea during that absence he
did succeed in corrupting her mind-end obtaining' possession of
her nersen. He then 'detailed certain facts afterwardS proved
its flit' evidence, and continued. The husband- returned, and
Was received' with the same degree of affection as before, and
the defendant, desirous probably of linking himself more eloselY
with vietim, proposed to take lodgings at the plai'ntiff's
house. Swae'reports, however, had been spread abroad rela-
tiVeto his conduct with Mrs. Wilton, and, to disarm all iuse
pleions,' he hit&ielf went to the plaintiff, roiturounicated theni
to him, and dehied the truth. 'f"lie plaintiff was convinced by
this apparent confidence, 'sietnreel him to eontiiine his visits,
and to take th itiirtments'ili his house Which he had engaged,
and to bieird at his table: Mrs. Wilton fell into a state of con-
firmed illness. She had no organic disettse, but was in a state
of Weakness and debility. 'Whether the Sense of her guilt and
the Wounded spirit within contributed to 'bring her to her -grave
cannot now be known ; but fur a period of fourteen Months,
froinAugust, 1833, to-lait December, she lingered in this' state.
Her husband attended her with affection and care. On the 4th
of December her brother came to see her, and on the morning
of the sth having' desired servant to leave her bed4ottin,
she disClesed her guilt to-her husband, whe had heeri lying at
litre bed-side during the night, and to her brother. The doctor
Was 'by her desire, sent for, and cause into her room. A scene
then occurred which was after Wards detniled by the witnesses.
After a few weeks the unhappy lady, ithe had been scirnewhat
relieved by the disclosure, expired: The plaintiff (Mil-stilted his
friends as to what course to pursue, and by their advice com-
menced the present action before tier death'.
The iwarnage was proved,' and evidence was also given that
the Parties had lived happily together. 'Mrs. Wilton w'a's the
detighter of a retired tradesman.

facts, which left no room to doubt the criminali4 Of the parties.
