BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
THOMPSON V. Biaxial:.
Mr. TINDALL opened the case, which charged the
defendant with a breach of his promise to intermarry
with the plaintiff.
Mr. Baouansx rose. The Court and Jury had
heard in the opening of the pleading the general ma-
ture of the action, and it became his duty to state the
circumstances. The plaintiff, Miss Sarah Thompson,
is the daethter of a respectable farmer living at
Scotby, near Carlisle. The defendant was the natural
son of a respectable gentleman of property, who lived
with his father, and brought forward as one of the fa-
mily, .without a distinction being made ; a person al-
together above the rank and station of mean habits. in
the middle of the year 1815, the defendant became ac-
quaiated with the plaintiff's father, and an inter-
course existed between the plaintiff and defendant,
that was likely to terminate in their becoming man
and wife. The plaintiff's father conversed with him,
and Impaired if there was any difficulty to prevent
their union, and he said that during Lis father's life
there usightbe some obstacles; but added, if he ever
Matuittherh4-dimightee . should be the woman. mod
upon occasions the promise was repeatedly
made. The defendant had no shadow of insinuation
against Miss Thompson's character, or that she had
abandoned her virtue or formed any intercourse with
another lover. He continued to profess the warmest
attachment, as would be shown by his letters fur se-
veral years, when, as is frequently the case, lie *haw
dosed a marriage built upon sincere attachment to
that of interest, and married a young lady named
Oliver, who, whatever were her accomplishments, was
only superior to Miss Thompson on the point of for-
tune. He should show bow much the defendant loved
or professed to love the plaintiff, and he cared not
which way the Jury considered it; but if it was pre-
tence, its purpose was so base that he could not find a
name for it. This young gentleman went on a tour to
tie north, and a day scarce ever passed but bore to the
plaintiff the professions of his fondness for her. On
the 25th of June, 1818, he writes to her from New-
castle, and says—
"My dearest Sarah—l have embraced the earliest op-
portunity.of writing to you a few lines to let you know
that I arrived here last night about ten o'clock, oluag
with Charles Young, and we an all stopping together.
I do not like Newcastle so well as I did last time I was
here; I should be much happier with you, my dear
Sarah. I am afraid it will be Saturday night before I
will get home, as the horse does not run for the cup, bat
for the maiden plate on Friday; but as my man will be
waiting for me at Carlisle, I shall visit you, my dear,
beforel go home. 1 have not seen James Johnson yet,
but will call some time to day. 1 wish 1 was back to
you again, my dear Sarah, as there are none on earth 1
love bat you. Write by return.
" I remain, dearest Sarah, your affectionate lover,
" E. Biaattax."
Another letter (rout Newcastle said—
"My dearest Sarah-1 am not able to tell what I felt
When I received your kind and loving letter last night,
and that yea were well; as.for nsyself I have been very,
ill all the week, particularly last night: 1 thought
should have died. I have never been at the play bat a
sheet time on Madan and, Armstrong was with nib;
he has behaved himself very wall ; he is very ill also. I
think the horse won't run at all this week, as he has
fallen amiss; if it should Dot, I will be home on Friday
i
night. I have stopped with Joseph Johnson since
Alay, which 1 think mach pleaianier than stopping at in
las. lam longing to see you, my dearest Sarah ; if all
he well I think on Friday night. lam very sorry I did
OK bring my cbsanut mare with me. as I am quite tired
with walking. I see none here half so good as she is;
'abs is as much superior to any horse here as Jack is to
•assy shoat Carnets. Sally is tamed as pretty a little,
Ithing. as I ever aaw ; she likes her extremely well. I
have many a time prayed for Chessy since I came. I
mu sick of Newcastle Races ; I should have been the
lhappiest man alive if you had been with me, my dear
Sends. You mast, my dear Sarah, excuse the shortness
of my letter, as I am writing to Subtle House.
" Believe use to-be, my dearest Sarah, to be your's,
,and none hitt your's, while .I have lift.
E. &await, orlfoeng Subtle Horne."
The attractions of the metropolis were incompetent
to drivethie master postai frost his recollection, and
in conampteace we find him peering forth the (abeam
of his love both in prose and verse, from the Ball and
Mouth in Bull and Mouth-street. One of each sort be
would cull to show the principle he acted upon. In
one of his poetical effusions he commences—
" Bid me Bre. sad I will live."

At needier time piaalical madam bad find bis brais,
sad be writes.
