Devon oxen.--Mr. Grant, of Snettisham, a pair of
very fine fat Devon ozon.—Mr. Beck, of Lexham, a
fair of working Devon oxen, and a pair of Devon
heifers.

After inspecting these the company proceeded to
the hall, and at rather a later hour than usual, owing
to the increased business of the day, sat 'down to
dinner, in number nearly 300.
Mr. COKE then proposed the usual toast--

Mr. COKE having briefly returned thanks, prefaced
the health of Sir Watkin Williams ‘Vpine, with
some very humorous remarks on the hospitality of
this 46 Prince of Wales," as he denominated him. Ile

well to Sir IVatkin, as a great promoter of the con-
sumption of barley—" for when I was at Wynne-
stay," added Mr. Coke, " I suspected by the coun-
tenances of those fat Welchmen around Sir Watkin,
that his ale was in great request among them—ac.
cordingly, I asked Sir Watkin the amount of the
barley he consumed in a year. ' All I grow,' was
the reply. You must know, Gentlemen, Sir Wat-
kin is not a small farmer. Whit, no more ? I said.
Some of my neighbours, and if they can't supply
Me, I buy enough to make up.' In short, Gentlemen,"
added Mr. C. "• I discovered that Sir Watkin not
only consumed all his own barley, and all the barley
in the parish, but bought very considerable quanti-
ties elsewhere." Sir Watkin's health was drunk
with three times three; after which the Worthy
Baronet briefly returned thanks.

land."

_
Lord Bit Amino proposed the health of Mr.
Blomneld, whose farm they had been inspecting that
morning.

Mr. CORE here took occasion to enforce, at great
length, the necessity of landlords granting I.nses,
on liberal terms, to industrious tenants, without
which, lie said, it would be unreasonable to expect
a tenant to lay out his money in the improvement of
his farm.

The Rev. Mr. Pnterr then proposed—
" Liberal I,Andler&, and rateful and in.luArinus Tenant."
—"The linrl of Albemarle, three times three.

By Lord Lx:sEnocii.L.
Coke, combined with his Norfolk Tenantry."
Gen. Fru ROY rose. As one of Mr. Coke's worst
tenants, he said, it might be presumptuous in him
to put himself forward on this occasion ; however,
he trusted, with such good example before his e) el,
he should improve, and took occasion to thank Mr.
C. in handsome terms, for the advantages he had de-
rived from his advice and instruction.

Mr. COKT. then adverted to a difference of opinion
which subsisted between his friend Mr. Greg and
himself, on the subject of foldiv. He (Mr. C.) pro-
fessed himself an enemy to the system, and called on
Mr. Greg to state his reasons fur defending it.
This called up Mr. G. who in very animated
terms defended the system, and said be had prac-
tised it for many years with great benefit to the
land, and without any injury to the sheep, as bad
been alleged by Mr. C.
Mr. Cote admitted that a fold of sheep would be.
nefit the land, but still conceived that greater benefit
would eventually arise from letting sheep go at large.
Lord ALBEMARLE was very warmly defending the
plan of folding, although in opposition to the opi-
nion of his friend Mr. Coke, when a very pleasing
interruption °catered in the debate, no less than the
arrival, very unexpectedly, of his Grace the Duke of
Bedford and the Marquis of Tavistock. His Goace
was received by Mr. Coke and his guests with all
that joy awl enthusiasm which his presence, after so
long an absence from his native country, might well
be supposed to occasion. He looks well, and we
are happy to say has had none of he imminent dan-
ger to encounter which the reports in the Newspa-
pers for some time led us to suppose he had sus-
tained.

After the health, of the Duke of Bedford and
the Marquis of Tavistock had beets drunk, each %silt)
three times three, the company adjourned to the
sheep-pens, where the sale of Mr. Coke's South-
down Theaves took place, and several prize-sheep
were exhibited.

prevent it' from rendering justice to an aggrieved
people. The charge of ingratitude was not made
alone by those who were in the habit of voting for
the principle of religious concession, but by those
who have uniformly declared that too' circumstances
shall induce them to suffer your claims to be argued.
—Mr. O'Connell then read some extracts from the
speeches delivered by Mr. Grattan, in 1793 and
1794, upon the Catholic Question, in which he
pointed out the " conciliation of the people as the
best security the Government could have, and that
they were not entitled to any religious sacrifices
from the Roman Catholics. If the tone adopted
then by him were to be now assumed by a Catholic
agitator, Mr. Grattan would be the first to charge
him with intemperance." lie then expressed his
firm conviction, that, in the next Session, ample
justice should be rendered to an injured body, and
concluded by moving Resolutions.

HERTFORD, Joisz 11.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
PAGE V. MONK.

This was an action by a young woman, the
daughter of an innkeeper at Berkhamstead, in this
county, against the Defendant, who is a grocer and
cheesemonger at Aylesbury, for a breach of promise
of marriage; and it was singular that in this case
there was an actual marriage, but no consummation
between the parties.
Mr. MARRYAT, es Counsel for the Plaintiff,
stated, that she lived its her father's house, an inn-
keeper at Berkhamstead, and the Defendant was an
apprentice in the same town, when their acquaint-
ance first began. He addressed her a considerable
time, so Fong hack as the year 1810, bat the father
of the Plaintiff would not consent to the marriage.
They were however, in fact, privately married, and
the thing remained a secret from the father of the
P 116,1611, each of them returning to their respective
homes. It was true, that when the marriage took
place, the Defendant was under age, and being with-
out consent of parents or guardians, the marriage
was void in law. After the Defendant was out of '
his time, he set up business for himself at Aylesbury,
and at length the father of the Plaintiff consented
that they should be married, and the ceremony was
to have taken place; but for some reason the De-
fendant changed his mind, and instead of completing
their union by a legal and valid marriage, be insthl
tuted a suit its Doctors' Commons, end procured a !
sentence. declaring his former marriage null and '
void, a, beiag contracted by a minor, without the
consent of parents or guardians. The Learned :
Counsel expatiated on the it'jury which a young wo-
man must necessarily sustain from, soak conduct, steel
prayed the Jury to afford her ample recompence.
A Mr. Hoskiss, a friend to the Defendant, stated,,,
that he knew of the intimacy between the Plaintiff
and Defendant, and that they eame to his house in
London in 1812, and that they were then married.'
They did not live together afterwards, but each re-
turned to their respective homes. Last year, when !
the Defendant was in town, the witness, as usual, •
nsked after Mary. The Defendant replied, that he
knew nothing of her—his marriage with her was
good for nothing, and he had done with it. At the
time of the marriage the Defendant was under age, ;
and an apprentice. _ _

..
Two letters of the Defendant's to the Plaintiff
were then put in and read. They were dated Ist
18 li, in which he addressed her with great affection,
and spoke shortly of completing their union by a
new marriage with the consent of the father of the
Plaintiff.

The sentence of nullity of *marriage pronounced by
the Ecclesiastical Court was put in and read, by
which it appeared, that at the suit of the Defendant
the marriage between them was declared null and
void, on the ground of infancy in the Defendant.
The Attorney for the Plaintiff proved, that he
carried an offer from the Plaintiff that she was ready
to marry the Defendant, but he refussed.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH here interposed, and asked
If the parties enuld not now be brought together,
which would be the best end of the action ? He re-
. memembered a similar case, where the cause was ad-
jourtied, and the litigating parties were immediately
mnriied, and so concluded the suit.
It was replied, it could not be done in this case.
Mr. Irlisasse then addressed ti:e Jury for the
Defendant.—lle complained that the Defendant,
when a very young man, had imprudently formed
the connection in question, when he was not aware
of the consequences and important results of such an
engagement—that as soon as he came of age be yes
nounced it—that the lady was considerably older
than the young man. But what he chiefly relied
upon was, a complete renunciation of the promise,
,at a subsequent period, by the Plaintiff herself—that
be should prove this at an interview in June, 1813,
and that it ass in consequence of thin new arrange.
ment that the Defendant prosecuted his suit in the
Ecclesiastical Court of nullity of marriage.
To prove this last fact, F.dward ?Beni:, a brother
of the Defendant, was called, who stated, that in
June, 1813, he accompanied tlic Defendant to the
Plaintiff. His brother, for some reason, had for
some time neglected his correspondence with the'
Plaintiff. They met, and had some discussion, in !
which his brother and the lady both said, that
nothing more than the ceremony of marriage had
passed between them. After some altercation the lady
said—" If he did not write, she would not Write
more; that he might do as be pleased, and she would
do as she pleased." They then shook hands, and
said they would part friends.
Lord ELLENBOROUOU having summed up the evi-
dence, left it to the Jury to say, whether what passed
at the last interview was a formal release of the pro- '
(Mite by the Plaintiff, which the Defendant had clearly
previously made to marry her ?—Or, whether, it was
the mere expression of anger at the moment, at
hiving suspected of any thing improper ?--There.!
b-ing, however, no evidence to impeach her conduct
in any way, the Jury found for the Plaintiff—Da-
mages 5001.

Lard and Lady Holland, who were expected in
England some days since, we are sorry to learn, are
detained at Brussels, on account of the indisposition
of their elder sons the Hoe. llleer Fox.
