PERJrnY AND ABDUCTION.
The following octraorainary and interesting ease
occupied the Court reuse_ five until nearly Awelye o'clock
nn Wednesday eveninei.--b.
Edward Martin a young man of respecta-
ble family, was indicted for a misdemeanour in making
a false aifiaavit, in order to prot.u7e licerie fur ntlr-
riage with Charlotte Lovell, and by that and other false
devices, inveigling, her frau, the }tonic and protection

of her natnral guardians. •
; Mr. An 11.1•111:S, in an eloquent appeal to the Jury,
described this as a ease of most cross timid ; and this
fraud, he said, hail lieen followed op by coniln,l su
base. that it was almost ingaissible to conceive a per-
son ,:rifted with a liberal education, and moving in
the society which the defendant mast have
to lied to, could have been guilty of. The prosecator
in this case was Peter Harvey Loren, Esq.. of Cole-
park. Wilts, and the defendant a Captain in the North
Gloucester Regiment of Militla. Mr. Lovell was bless-I
ill, ample proputv and a tiumerous progeny, and
his happiness hever know any diminution until th
unhappy period when the defendant became acquainted',
wit:, the family. This took place at a review of the
North lilocester, at Cirencester, in Jane last. After
a short acquaintance the dcfoittlant wrote to Mr. Lo-
vell, requesting leave to ~eldres his daughter Char-
lotte, but ,net wide a refusal. ILIA, however, did not
deter him ; he followed her from one place to another:
and finally, having by falsely swearing that the young
lady was of age, ;PA that he knew of no impediment,
obtained a license, be partly be force, and partly by
persuasion, induced her to elope with him. Tile mar-
riage, however, never took Flare. In consequeniT of
t se death of the Rev. A:eledeacon Wills (some their be-
fore this transaction). a near relation of the Lovell
family, who was reported to have left immense property,
a rumour had gone abroa l th et the Misses Lavull
would hare fortunes of 30 or 40,004. This the de-
fendant, it was supposed, hail heard. When he ar-
rived in London nide the young Lady,. he found that,l
by marrying her with the license which he had pro-
cured, he shoulil not obtain canneloni over her fortune,
and he therefore placed her in,kdgings, and caused
,ans to be published. In the interim he ascertained
that the young lady's fort was 1,000/. only. avid
that not to be paid to her ant she was of age, atul to
revert to a relation in case of her death before that
time. Upon this discovery, stranJe and unaccount-
able, the defendant deer ed the unfortunate young
lady. leaving her in suet a state, that when at leno.: b
her father found her, her clothes were detained by th
landlady of the house for the payment of rent is hide
was due. [Here a loud murmur of indignation ran
through theConrt.but was immediately repressed with
severe animadversions by Poe Learueei Judge.] Mr.
Adolphus with some further remarks concluded leis
statement.
Messrs. ALLE and ANDer.ws took an objection to
the form of the indictment, which was argued at great
length on both side s, and finally reserved by the
Court fur more mature consideration.
Mr. Charlton, from the Vicar-General's office, pro-
duced affidavit made by the defendant on obtaining the
license, in which ler situ e that hr and Miss Lovell
were 21 years of age. and that he knew of no hula!
impediment to their marriage. The affidavit was sworn
on the 24th of Noveneher,
P. Lovell, Esq. deposed, that he was the father of
Charlotte Lovell, and saw the defendant at a review
in Cirencester, in June last. About three days after-
wards he was iutrodured t the family at Colepark,,
by en': Vaughan. Before he went atraylse said, to
the witness, " 1 am ardently attached •to your elitist

•dtesses to het." He *riot eat to wry Mitt • had pros
perty to the Wooed td WI. t year, and the irritant
said he would make enquiry. lie did so, bat the result
was unfavourable; and he wrote to the defendant de-
clining an further communication with hint on the
subject of his daughter.' This produced a letter of
remonstrate' from the defendant. This letter was
read, and couched in terms of the bitterest disappoint-
ment at the determination of Mr. Lovell. Witness
saw the defendant after this at some races, and at
Bath, and common civilities were exchanged. Shortly
after the elopement of his daughter, he saw the de-
fendant, and asked him if he had married his daughter.
lie said lie had. Ile asked him where; bet he re-
feud to tell. Witness told him he must be aware
that the marriage could not be legal, as his daughter
was not of age, and proposed a re-marriage, and offer-
ed terms, which the del:nil:ant consented to ; but wit-
tress afterwards discovered that Ike was incapable of
!complying with those terms from pecuniary disability,
kis id having, in the interim, found out where his
daughter was, he determined, at all risk, to break of
the connexion, and to hate her back. Ile found her
at a lodging in London, and when he brought her
away, ner clothes ....ere detained for arrears of rent, Ike.
Cross-examined—ils did once consent that the de-'
fettlant should marry his daughter upon certain terms;
hut in consequence of various suleequent discoteries,
he altered hit mind. lie never said his daughter had
5,0001. lie never said that he was sine that the de-
fendant hail not sworn falsely, for that he must have
taken Charlotte to be above 21. Upon his oath he
never dill say so.
Re-exatitieed—His daughter had been more than
five weeks absent before he knew where she was.
Miss I.'. Lovell, sitter of Charlotte, deposed, that some
time after the asquaintance, she and her sister went by
a stage-coach on a visit to their uncle and aunt, Sir De-
sist and Lady Gaudier, in Hertfordshire, and on the road
they were joined by the defendant. In the course of con-
versation he said to witness. " I should have thought you
acre older than your sister Charlotte:" to which she re.
plied, " Oh, no). I am between sixteen and seventeen,
and Charlotte is nineteen years of age." Ile left the
coach on the road, and ensue (lays after their arrival at
Sir David's he was sects riding aunt a lane. in front at
the house. Ile once suet them when they were out in
the carriage with Sir Hasid and Lady Coodge, 8111,1 lie
was conatantly presenting !limed( within view of the
limns:, hot never was admitted. At length witness had
an interview with hint at the garden-pate, an t entreated
him to quit the neighhourl I, as hr had been seen
about, and they would he sent twine if lie toatitineil
there. Ile implored an interview with Charlotte ; but
she told him it was impossible, anilthe went away. lie
still, however, continued Ilia appearances. and witness
wrote a letter to him, dictated by Sir !livid Howler, and
her sister signed it. The pit: port (A* it was, to desire
him to quit the place. far :the was deaerinlneit never to

a letter from him. bewailing Isis late, but declaring
that he wonlil. as she deaired it, rte her up for ever.
In anuther part of the sheet, however, there were a few
sentenees written with leinamjnire (which were not di.-
covered till a month ago). implaring her to save him from
distrarti tttt ;am! to resvai it his tillelityby " runnint-r away
with him." (In a Sunday. shortly atterwarits, Sir Vara,
Laity Hoodge, and all the men sere-kilts, were gone to
diurcKwitni snauil tier sister Icing athinne alone, a tnes-
rage came that a gentleman a as waiting to speak to Miss
C. Lord!. The latter went down to the garden, witness
followed and found her conversing with the defendant;
the latter pressing her to elope, and derluring lie had
a licenie in Isis pocket, and would marry her the fol-
lowing morning at St. Martin's church, London. Siie
begged him to ga away as she would never marry him
wilitrit her friends' consent. Witness also begged
him to desist, and prosisigeil she wauld write to her
fattier and bre his compliance. All, however, was
vain : he said sorb another opportunity would never
offer, and no earthly power should cutispel him to
forego it. Tiarre was a gig standing close by, in the
care of one Itawlina ; and the defendant, at length
taking Charlotte by the arm, pulled her down the Issue
to the gig. Witness lad hold of her, aad appealed
to Itawitis to assiat, lint in vain. Ile got her into the
tie, anti nitness pulle 1 her out again. She all this
time crie.i, and declared she would not go ; but lie
swore no power on earths should make him resign her.
He got tier again into the gig and drove off. Iler
sister was now in court, having been subp(enaed in be-
half of the defendant.
Croce-examined —Witness cried, but (lid not call
out. She an I her slater hail both the hooping-rough
at the time, which was tile cause of her staying at
home. The, knew they were to be joined in the
stage-coach bv a 1,.. Jo:ies, tint not until after they had
left their lathe... They made nu secret to him then of
where they were gising. At the elopement scene her
anise made n : resistance either one way or the other ;
she seemed atantied.
Capt. Vaughan, of the (ilocester Militia, swore that
i.e cumuiu:.i.: its' the situation of Miss Charlotte to
her father atter the elopement, the defendant having
disclosed it to hint. An interview took place in cen-
sequence. between Mr. Lovers brother and the de-
fetsilant, at which witness was present. Mr. Lovell's
Ibrother requi steal the defendant to give up Isis niece,
and told hini if lie would say where she was. na pro-
ceedings ivionfil be insti!itted against Kitt. Ile refused
to give tier up unless Mr. Lovell would "come down"
Iwith a W...i'lliellt, and pay his (defendant's) debts! if
that were d.:tie, he would marry her ; but without it
I lie would ni Wier marry her nor give her up. The
couterenceentlea here ; and a tees days afterwards the
defendant called upoa witness, on his wav'to London.
and told him that he had had an interview with Lovell
and the Solicitors, but nothing was settled. Ik' added,
that lie had but a small futtime, and hail Inasared cun-
sideratile debts its this " running off."
Here the case for the prosecution closed.
Mr. At.t.ci addressed the Jury in a powerful speech,
fur the defendant. who was found Guiliti.
The ('oust suspended judgment on the defendant

enter into recogniyanees, himself in 2U01., and two
sureties in hail!. each, for his appearance the first day
