average in intelligence and strength Of
character. and referred tn her foresight in

JUDGE BEACH'S CHARGE.
Judge Beach. in his address to the jury,
said:
THE question at stake involves lao par
ticular conplexity, but il easily under
stood aud the testimony is confined within
narrow bounds. The contract Of marriage
! ia conceded, whether or not lac broke.
! Ii you think that the Defendants excuses
were a plain avoidance Of the contract,
then tHe plantiu is entitled TO verdict.
If You find TO the contrary, then you
must decide for the defendant. The
question of the amount Of damages is n
difficult ore. You must consider all things
| fairly and return a verdict aCcOrdingly.n
! The Jury then retired, and after an hour
and halt's dciberatiCn brought in
sealed verdict, which will not be made
public TIL 1890 O'clock tomorrow.
