houses Of i'll fame at Marseilles, Lyons, &C., were
under the surveillance Of the police; at the deien-
dant's house she saw the man who had seduced her,

This was the plaintiffs case
Mr.. Sergeant miller said he thought his lordship
and the jury would be Of opinion, after what had
appeared in this case, that the defendant was not
quite SO bad as he had been represented. It had
been said that his house was place where youn 3
PENDANT purchased young women for the purpose Of
prostitution but bis lordship would that, far
rs this woman was concerned, the place was merely
an asylum offered and such an as persons Of her
description would very often be happy to get II
having now been satisfactorily proved that the defen
dant was not person carrying on the sort Of prac
tces-the very gIievous Practices-that his
haired friend had referred to, he thought
il desirable to withdraw the case from further
sideratioD. The defendant was prepared with his
books to show that there was balance due to him,
from this wretch's account, Of Is, and that he did
not owe one farthiDg to this person I; but, sooner
than have the case further discussed, he would con-
sent to allow him to accept an offer made by his
learned friend, and 30 withdraw the case from fur
Their discussion. There would therefore, by consent
be q verdict for the plaintiff tor ESQ.
The Chief Justice said he was not aware Of any
thing proved in this case which supported what had
just been stated but on the contrary, he thought
his brother Byles. He did not say that the de-
PENDANT kept house where young women were
seduced, but he said that he carried the disgust
ing practise OF having young women In his house,
and cheating them out Of all they got, by keeping
their money and not allowing them to purchase any
thing anywhere else but Of him. 1t had been proved
that these statements justified and II the case
bad gone on, and it had been found that the defen
dant kept house OF this kind, he should have
ordered him to be indicted for keeping such .
house, and to be kept In prison in the meantime.
(This announcement Of his lordship was followed
by q burst Of applause from the audience, which
was however at once suppressed by the officers Of
the court.)
A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff for
ESQ, and the case was brought to an end.
