q Singular Breach of Promise Case "A
So Lady the Cruel Deceiyer.

OF breach of marriage promise before it
The parties arc fashionable lady, Mrs.
Hayward, and a gentleman, Moses Inglee,
OF New York. whose affections have been
laceratcd to the extent of S25, 900, his own
valuation and not that of referees. The
gentleman was formerly in mercantile pur-
suits, Is said to be man of fine personal
appearance, agreeable manners, fond ofmn-
sic and The drama
Mrs. Hayward, the lady defendant, is the
daughter of the late John Binney, and her
FIRST husband was the late Amos Biuncy,
her FIRST cousin, who died in Rome. Mrs.
IL. is brunette, with dark hair and bril-
liant black eyes, and we'll developed per-
son. She is gay, dushing, accomplished
woman, fond of society and always attracts
marked attentionin the upper circles, where
she moves, by her brilliant conversation,
easy manners, and fuc personal appearance.
The lady's present husband, Mr.. George
Hayward, is one Of Boston's best physicians
The history of this affair is a curious one
and furnishes an Illustration of the wisdom
of the warming of the elder Weller to his
hopeful son against the destinations ofwid-
ows. Mr.. m9lce and Mr. Bimnoy were
old acquaintanccs, and it is said that a warm
attachment existed between them previous
to her marriage with her cousin, who was
hcr first husband Inglcc did not marry,
and after the death of Mr. Binncy they met
III New York, and their friendship was re-
no'Scd. Mrs. B. went abroad and rcmain-
ed on the continent several months, during
VIII h,ch interval the parties corresponded
nj mt g
marriage by letter. The engagement took
place, as the plaintiff claims, in May, 1853.
and the marriage was to be consummated
us soon as convenient after her return. =
She returned i'll a short time after the be-
trothal, and from that time the expectant
bridegroom devoted himself constantly to
the aifiuent and accomplished widow. He
rclinqushod his business, us he says, at her
request She had u fortune large enough
Tor all their wants, which would soon be
his. They made n tour of the watering
places throughout the summer, and killed
time in fashionable way in the winter.
But there were some opposing influences,
probably of the lady's children and friends,
which prevented the nuptials. She made
excuse that she wanted to get her children
settled In ne educational establishment
before she uttered the matrimonial state
They laid thIr mutual plans of future hap
piness, however, and visited the most mag
niticcnt residences in the suburbs that were
on sale, with view Of selecting and pur-
chasing one for their future home. THUS,
according to the statements of the plaintiff
and his friends, did the course of their true
love run smooth until the month of August,
1856.
At that time they were at Saratoga, and
at that time DR.. Hayward, who had become
a widowcr, went to Sharon Springs for the
benefit of his health. DR.. IL was II gentle
man of fortune and high social position in
Boston, most eligible match, and had re-
Gently become candidate for matrimony.
Mrs. Binncy went to Sharon and Mr.. Inglee
went to New York on some business TO
the great consternation of the latter, ne soon
aftcrward asccrtaincd that remarkable in
timacy had sprung up between his fGncec
and the Doctor, In October he wrote to
Dr. Hayward and informed him that he
was poaching on his manor-that the lady
was under solemn obligations to marry him
self. | believe that the Doctor did not an
swer this letter, and in November he mar
ried Mrs. Binney, and thus the widow and
her fortune were lost to Mr.. mglee forever,
unless he succeeds in obtaining a slice of
the latter by the suit which he, brings
against the parties.
The lady in question has denied to her
friends and the friends of Mr.. Inglcc that
any engagement had ever existed between
them He can account for this denial only
on the supposition that she believed that
her letters to him were all destroyed, whore
as he has about eighty of her tender epistlcs,
which are said to contain undoniable, proof
of their mutual promise to marry each 9TH
er. When the case comes to trial these
letters and other evidences pro and con,
and the arguments of the counsel, will form
a curious aud interesting addition to the
newspaper literature of the country. The
legal process was served upon the defend
ants on the 18th of July last, and they sail
ed for Europe about three days thereafter

of theSuperior Court, to which the writ is
returned, commences Tuesday.
