July, 1819.
66 SIR,—I was engaged in "'filing to Mier CAST-
WRIGHT, who pier second f arrived, correct-
ing the omission of your address Thit worthy If.
Imo, whose last productions show the skew of his
mind, and oeght to make his enemies bleak, well
knows how folly my time is occepied here in the
great cerise of freedom. and that, not only without
assistance, bet amidst every species of opposition,
for Whigs and Tories are eqeally hostile, end by their
fraternal beg,' II was alone devised of my seat for

Easter.
" Tho greet distance of this mato county, and
the approach of the SllS9io9Seud Assizes, will wettest
my attendance at your public Meeting. Bet fast-
est( m the oppressed and insulted People say
he slaked to adept, I hope that Vie petitioning of
either Bosse of Parliament will not be one of ikon.—
I am now quite sick of poititiouing ; it is as useless
49 the Worthy Baronet's motion, for the Honourable
Hasse to do something nest year; and as (rivals"s
as a Noble Lord's tardy 'cantles. of the right of sof-
frage from boroughs cwt.:tied of bribery. to peps-
ine. towns. imbed Hs Lordship appears to ',clods
from his moderate reform, all those unconvicted lordly
and decal patronage., of which we have a snug little
body in this and the neielbourisig country. Este
this proof of his Lordship's mod•tati,in is to be de.
(erred to the nest Session. It is all s to-morrow,
and to-morrow, sod to.mot row.' N.ir se, however,
with the Ministerial phslsuz. With them it is all

while overwhelming nsejurities levy three millions a
year of unrequited tales upon an impoverished and
starving population—for what? To re-establish, foe.
' south, an reposed and detected fallacy, the banshee
of a Sinking Feud!
64 Bet a serious question stems to me deserving
consideration, and it is this—how far Parliament
is authorised by the Constitution to reform it•
self.--Parliament is a delegated body for at-
leis services. amid for certain definite trusts. The
right of suffrage belongs to the notion, not to
the Parliament. Mr. Psisc, I think, says, that
it is a peados for ,hinted bodice to reform them-
selves; and a pretty piece of patch-wosk that
tumid be. Coaceise, S.r, if you ran, what sort
of product that must be, which should proceed''
the amalgamated brains of foe-hunters, p
Monte's, pensioners, Crown lawyers, and perils.
Dial slots. Every writer of say esiseeco, from
A•ISTOTL9 down to Morricsoutcu, allows that the
wont of all Governments is an Oligarchy. No
Oligarchies are of two sorts, the ens opersting by
usurped power, sod the other by cogreptiss. Of
thew the latter is the worse, being more oppressive,
sod tainted with hypocrisy. What Mope or ',peele-

binge? Must they sot regard with distrust every
proposal, or, in plebe Erglisb, would they not look
upon it as a hoax ?
" These ideas are merely thrown out for your
consideration, and I have no &Ott that you will
improve upon them. Perhaps the most constitutional
mode would be, for Welts to be issued by the Crown
for calling a convocation, or delegation, for the sole
purpose of taking this weighty metier into eatable'.

damages for the injury which the Plaintiff bad sus.
tatted by being deprived of the services of his &wet-
ter. whom, it was alleged, she Defendant hid se.

upon Woo was joined.
Mr. Twigs opened the pleading% and Sir. TAUN-
TON stated the case to the Jury. lie said, that the
Plaintiff was a reopectable farn.,r, living al Han well,
Neer Banbury, In the comity of Orford, when lie
rented an estate ender the Doebees of Dorset ; and,
on the present occasion, be had to complain of mot
of the most serious injuries that could possibly affect
a person in his situation. The cause of action was
for no less se Wiley than that of dehaecbing sod
ruining his deviator. He had bees for a long moles
of years a husband and a father—a father of • coast
nemerogs family whom he had brought up with ten.
denims and care; and he bad
single instance now before the Coot', had reason to
temple's, that any of them had swerved from the
paths of virtue, or skew him MIA for grogginess.—
The Defendant was also a farmer; be resided at
Fellready, in the county of Warwick, and cams of
age on the 18th of J y last. lie was a young
ma. of emiderable expettatioot is point of proper.
ty : he was the sow of • father who bad left a landed
estate of 2001. a per to be divided between him and
his brother, w hen he attained the age of 44, sad who
bad left considerable runes! property on that cost,.
Is the month of .1 y, 1815, the acqoain
commenced between the daughter of the Plaintiff and
the Defendant. They were both thew extremely
yowl, be being only 17. end she not hoeing metal-
ed her 16th year. They were introduced to each
other by Mr. Clark Middleton, a nephew of the
Plaintiff, sad brother-in-law of the Defendant.—
The acipaintsece went on for some length of lime,
grew, perhaps, into intimacy. but slot, as 'mild be
given in evidence, ripened into lot. or affection
be-
to ern Item. In the month of December iu that ear,
another of the Plaintiff's daramvis was married s• •
Mr. Jobe Rose, a farmer at 111.clvell, in W..reel.
stershire. The merrier& took place at !Unwell,
where the Plaintiff resided. Upon that occasion, the
Defendant, es the parties's. sod intimate friend of
Mr. Rose, accompanied bit to the weddiog, and
acted as father; sad bli.s Cooke, the young lady
who was the sobjed of this Wks, was bride.matd.
After the marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Rose, art-m ops.
sled by Miss Cooke and the Defencatit, paid a visit
to the father of Mr. Itote, at Dahill, in %Voiotia-
shim. Is was then that the 'mentions of the Defend.
ant to the daughter of the Plain'ti became metro par-
S
Siegler. The regol.rity of his visits to her h
hogs, alarmed the latter, whole conduct, from the
comaireeentent of the acquaintance to the consple-
Ono of his deogh.ei's loin, had been most proper
and correct. When he found the Defendant so coo-
lstoat is his attentions, he waited en MS for an ea.
planation of his motives, and received for answer
that he came se bonoursble terms. The Plaintiff
only rented a farm, and, therefore, said, " Perhaps
you way think my daughter's eapeciatioos are sot
i meal to your own, and if you think so. yon bad bet..
tor dissoollose your visits." The Defendant repeated
!his stterseces of hoseersbit inteations, and inspired
the Plaintiff with security. In consequence ef this,
the families became acquainted with each other :
there had been so intimacy between them till this pe-
riod; bet es it became notorious that the Defendant
was the betrothed husband of this young woman, the
families visited each other en the most friendly terms.
Is the month of August, 1817, the Defeudant If.
quested Mils Cooke to wet him at • neighbagriog
wake, at Oibill : bet her mother &tithed her not to
j go, as it might be said that she was going expressly to
see him. She did not go, end the Defendant being
.leaded, discontinued his visits for some time. He
then mewed them, sad at length Isiempbed over
j her virtue; she became refloat, and was delivered
jof a child. In was in the month of May, 1818, titst
this young woman was thus reined, • period of three
years from the time of their first acquaintance. The
Learned Counsel said, be bad been gives to under-
stand, bet he hoped that the proceedings of this day
I would prove it rasa miagnderstanding, that his Learn-
ed Friend on the ether side would endeavour to shove
that this young woman had behaved with great
levity of conduct ; nay, that she had before bean
guilty of a criminal intercourse with another
person. Ile publicly dared the Defendant to
prove that fact to-day. If she bad been a person
of ibis character sod candect, would be have been
Owe years is triumphing over her innocence
—He dated him to bring that matter forward—
he challenged him to bring Mary Taylor, the discus&
ed *maid of Mrs Middleton, into Court: but be
would, by antkipation, from the" Defendant's own
Pletters sad his owe decimations, so relate the possi-
bility of agy improper behaviour in this yogi% woman,
that he aboeld prevent his learned Friend from
m.ltiog any imputation of thiskind, if his instructions
were at present to make it. When this young woman
became pregnaut, she concealed it from her family, sod
went to 04 house of her sister, Mts. Rose. At that
time she bad toot disclosed it to the Defendant himself ;
she then told Mrs. Rose, who desired her to comma-
flints her unfortunate dilution its him, and, having
dons so, he meet d his promises of weartiage. Those
promises were repeated over and over again. as often
as the subject was mentioned. He accompanied her
home to her father's, and, on the following 100,10.

marry her, es it was the anniversary of that very day
on which her sister was essrritol. He-then returned
home, having first promised to ti-it her again on the
Sunday week. Sunday came, but the 'Meatiest
did not. A few days after she wrote him • leiter, in
