iage formerly made to her, but which he had put it
out of his power. by his subsequent conduct to fulfil:
A compromise bad been come to between tile parties,
by which it was settled that a verdict should be taker
rot the Plaintiff for 1000 guineas ; but pecuniary ds;
matqes was not the principal object with-the Plaintiff
—she was move anxious to have it made known to
the world, that no part of her conduct had induced
the Defendant to be guilty of a breach of his word ;
and he now understood, that his friend, Mr. Perk,
' was instructed to make a further declaration to that
effect on behalf of his client.
Mr. Pang said, lie certainly had been instructed
by his client, and by those who advised.him, to make
every sati,faction to the wounded feelings of the
Plaintiff which she could require. Ills client. was a
young man of fortune, and had become' acquainted •
with the Plaintiff, who waft, as far as his instructions

were stroogt) a.. ise to the ntarri,ge taking place,
and in compliai,ce with thrit wishes he had broken
off the match.— Bat he (Mr. Park) was now in-
structed to viy, in the most ungoatilied terms, that
no part of toe conduct of the Plaintiff, who was
strictly sit turn's, rodent, and honourable, had
in—
dared him to come to that determination, which hail
been entirety the result of the opposition of his
friends.—A verdict was accordingly taken fur the
Plaintiff fur 10501.
