The evidenc anMl Mimmi aa taken br tftrwrtwu of th poor brweora Juletaera. 1 eopttd ttwn ef tb aVpoaltaw. I took don ElBHida aVpocldaala her own language! tbe word j.

fe, ailai wan re ttaitlsar bit letter to the aenctaf tb pariah eOeen. Mr. Man aald to the pariah of ncara, if thry had anything to uy In their defence they might, bat th proeeedteft would probably be carried further, hla advice wa that tbey should Dot lay any thine. Tbejr laid they bad nothing to uy. I MCI petition to Mr Roebuck to present to the House ol Coramona, bat I did not aak any member to rapport the prayer of tbe pedtion.

I did not pre cot any bill at the aarlxrv Mt, Owutburn wrote to me after tb petition neanted. I did not write freeoently to tbe laiwipapcn on the wihjectwben 1 prefemd my bill. I wrote to timBmtJmim a to contradict a titwoc of falsehoods, i did not 9 Wtitrto tbe J5r iwW to aay Dike bad been discharged be far 1 preferred that bill atlnthini. (A letter wu here pot fBtathebaadiofthewitnea). I wrote this.

It dated the Itch of February, 1833. It waa not an anewer to any letter I don't knew whather thia letter waa written before that etgned by a Pariahlorxr appeared. Mr Mott wrote tome requesting me to praenrt twidenee foe the poor law commiaaionera. I did not write an account of the lnquisitice for a newspaper Mr Edwarda ahowed me a sketch oi something be had written. I told Mr Ldwarda that he had better not pot in the newspaper aomethinr he waa going to send.

Mr Roe back told me that Tht Ttmtt newapaper had attacked the poor law commiaaionera, and he thought they had been ex cedln(rty uaed, and therefore he wiahed me to write an account of thia in defence of the conduct of the commiaaionera. I wrote hira something, and gat him permission to publish it. I did not then know that the proarcatlon would be adopted itwuat the time that the poor law commiaaloneia had determined not to proaecute. A bill waa presented before Ci1 of Somr 1 the expense of ('ovemment, and SO whnesara were examined. Tbe bill waa thrown out.

Mr Hobhouae waa the foreman. I waa indignant when I came out of the grand wry room at the manner In which I bad been treated by Mr Hobhouae. 1 hare aatd the bill waa thrown contrary tojuKice, far I had seen that there waa an evident disposition on the part of Sir Hobhouae from the beginning not only to trample on the bill and throw it out but to treat me and erery other Individual with the; gTeatcal Inaolence and the greatest violence, I hare never and the grand jury were a dd act oi Torlea. Mr Hothouse wax the only man who treated me in a manna, I mut aay, disgraceful to himarif. I hare apoken of Mr Hobhouae aa a man devoid of the principles, and mannera of a gentleman, from the manner in which he treated me, and the evident determination he ahowed to trample on the bill from the first begin ning, without hearing evidence.

I did aay that, and I uv it again. I then went to town to endeavour to get a new trial 1 remained there a fortnight I had tare or atx com munlfarlona with Oovemment. I apoke on the subject jo ISO numbers of Parliament, to support juatlce and tbe claims of humanity Lord John Russell at last wrote to me aayiur that with the advice of tbe Attomer and SoUcitor Oeneral be had determined to send a new bill to the sessions, and it waa louna, ti waa to be removed by crrftorart to another county I told them I waa not the prosecutor, but that the Crown waa. I did not write thia article in the Obtrrrrr of the 8th of February, 1835. I hare dealt with arts the elder and hij two aona.

The father kept the post office. I dis continued my custom with aita (the baker) before I saw Harriet Mma, because he gave me bad bread and I ceased to deal with tbe other, because they Insulted me George Watt would not allow the paupers to dean the lane before my gate once a year aa usual because I had ceased to deal with hla brother, and I aiso did so because I understood they were convicted of selling with falae weight. ir Trollope told me that he had told Watts that be had tent to scold him for not calling the vestry, but he was glad the meeting had not been called, because the poor law commissioners would deal better with I he subject than the vestnr could I aald before tbe Inquest that other persona had relieved Mma. What waa taken down by the coroner is no evidence, aa I never aaw anything so carelessly conducted as that inquest wax. At a vestry meeting a proposition was made that the poor people should be amt foe, that tbey might contradict on oath the charge made against the parlth officci by the poor laa commissioners.

This waa not put from the chair, but it waa put by tie chair that atts and Pike ahould be at liberty to examine witness, ami rebut the charges against them, and the show of hands was against it. Thev were not dismissed upon any ta porit representation, hut upon the investigation by Mr Mott, and founded upon hi report. No witnesses were examined fdr the officers of the EarUh. did not aay to Waits ou shall have your fill of iw before you have done with It, but Mr Daniel said that tome. Re examined.

sits father and father in law were upon the jury at the inquest. Lieutenant Edwards I reside at It reshford, and have done so for 10 years. I accompanied olonel Napier to the poor cottages. We went to Harriet Mma. he was in bed and had a quilt and sheet over her The) merelv covered the surface of the bed.

The wmdaw was very much broken, and let in the air The cottage was untenantable The room waa very offensive Mie complained of suffering erereJy from cold, and that she ha.1 not food that was adc qsate to her aick situation she appeared to me to be suffer ing in these respects, and to be worn out wuh disease I took a requisition for a vrsrrv to Mr Bythsea the rector, ard alter wards gave it to defendant a wife, with a request that it might be delivered to him i rmediatrlv I saw atts on the Iwl of January oa the subject of the requisition He told re had refused to nmnlf with th rMurit nt rh rMiuUllinn because it contained I arsh and Improper expression's aa be tuuugui me worca wretcned and destii He were verr improper words that he thought it a hard case that indivi "J11 who were only paying a few ahtlHno to each rate ahould Intel fere with those who were paying pounds I said law gave ua the privilege and I should exercise It in protecting the infirm as well as the sick I vn a jurymsn i the inquest. Cross I hsve had the honour of serving with Colonel Nrpier, and am hia personal friend I have taken an active pan In this business from the dirtatrs if my own feelings. There ha been an election for guardians of the poor, and the defendant was at the head of the poll. I did i frVT rtaae or i ewnsend to scratch out the nan Mr Watti from their paper 1 have written to the poor law commissioner about the election. 1 did not see any ks tpej bed in which Harriet Mma was lying It is not usual tofincT fireplaces In the bed rooms of the pour cottages at rreehford.

The bell was tolling foechrfrch when I gave the requisition to the defendant a wife. Watts told me that the aTrauemcn. if they had anr complafnts, shouhl hsve applied to him. I do not recoHert the coroner interfer'ng on account of the conduct of a witnesv I expressed my opimon as to tneconduct of one individual on the grand jiry when the bill was thrown out. I sent a paragraph relative to the inquest lu the newspaper Captain Ldward Bin 1 1 re at rreshford and accom) ed Colonel Napier to Harriet Nims s.

It was a cancerouiaoreintheface. Oneof her eyeawasksu two years before her death. Her nose wss almost gone, snd she could not see vita the other eye tor three months. All this waa produced br the disease. She was not able to bdp herself for a long time before ber death.

In November, 1834, my father, mother, and brother were all Bring In one room in one of the poor cottage at PrcsbfbrcL They had one bed room, and one sittingoom. I lived about half a mile from them. 1 bad then four children. My mother! complaint increased before ber death. I had rhe scarlet fever, and waa confined to my tied a abort time before the died.

I went to ber about even weeks before ber death. I bad not recover est, but Colonel Napier lent tne wheel chair to go to see my mother. I found ber lying on a bed on the floor without a bedstead.

My husband ia a labourer live half a mile from the pauper cottages lather goes to Bath erery week, generally walking there and back. My mother had that disease 14 or 15 years. Wt psy Is.

Ad. a week for our cottage. I did not tell Colonel Napier ot my mother a Illness. My father never beat my brother I hare heard him curse him. The first time Eliza I'sher and I went to my mother waa seven weeks before her ueatn, and the last time waa a fortnight before ahe died he used to strap up ber tare when abc went out.

hen she waa unable to go to church, some persona used to come and read prayers to her My father chiefly carries eggs to Bath. I was strong enough to have pul some straw into a bed tick, but I never aaked anr person to rive roe some straw I do not know whether or not I tola Colonel or Mia. Napier of my mother's death. Mr atts frequently aaked me how my mother was. 1 never knew my father without food in the houss except lor a abort time.

I have told my atory on oath once to Mr Bythsea, oace at Taunton, and once at Bndgewater I have told my story at Sir II TroUopea. I don know whether Colonel Napier took down what I aald in writing I don know whether or not any one took It down. Colonel Napier sent me to Mr Bythsea. I put my mark to a paper at Mr Bythsea'a. I was at Colonel Napier a that day I don recollect what tune of the day it waa I don know whether it was at breakfast time or dinner time 1 don know whether I had any thing at Colonel Napier's that day I don remember taking a paper from Colonel Napier to Mr Bythsea.

hat I said waa taken down at I olonel 'Napier a. Colonel Napier asset me questions, but 1 don remember when I remember Colonel Napier said, Ellen, I want you and your husband to go up to Mr Bythsea a once to day I don recollect anything being said then. I don't remember whether I was sent for, or whether I was there on any other business. Colonel Nspler said he wished me to go to Mr Bythsea', to be sworn, because the poor law commissioners were coming down whether he said because" or for" I don recol lect. I don recollect Colonel Nspler ever reading over aaytntng to me 1 rave never seen Colonel at snr other house but hla own, except at the poor houses.

I have seen him at Sir II Trollope's once, but I don't know when Captain Blrt was there. I have not seen Colonel Na I let at Mr Edwards's house, but Ihaveacrn Mr. Edwards at Colonel Napier but when I don recollect. Re examined Mr Bruce took down my examination in Napier's library, but I don't recollect when that was. It was after I went to Sir Bythsea s.

ill ism Head (the husband of the last witness). The bed on which the old woman was lying was as wet as muck There wss an old blanket, an old sheet, and tne fragment of an old rnwn ned round her shoulders. The nose, eyes, and face had been completely eaten away by the cancer Tbe room sas dreadfully cold 1 saw Thomas HlU shortly before his desth he was in a dirty filthy condition, his dotbes lust hung upon him He had an old tick, without anything In it to lie upon. If you covered him up with anything he would not keep It on he would lie curled up like a dog. The panes the window were not mended before he died I and mv wife went to Mr Bythsea'a, we at ited our case to him and he wrote it down aa last sa we related it.

ross exammed. My wife gare answers to Mr Bythsea but whether or not he wrote them down I do not know Mt Brthsea read a paper to my wife. He did not put anr question to her He wrote down what she stated. (Certain parts of the wife a examination were read the witness, but he said he did not know tbe mean ing of them, and did not recollect them) 1 reman ber mv wife ssying thst she totteied up to the over seer I sm a labourer, and am new engaged aa a stoker at a team engine fire 1 did not help to turn my mother in law when snr wife was too weak to do it I did not stuff the tick with straw, nor did I mend the hole the floor At the time 1 saw her with such scanty clothes I knew that some of her clothes were at our house being washed. I know that my wife had her mother's clothing after her death.

The oh. woman waa particularly clean hen she could go out. I never told Napier of the deplorable condition of this poor wwman 1 can recollect how I came to go to Mr Bythsa s. Arm Coombs. I live in rreshford I assisted to lay out the body ot Susannah Hill it was lying In one cornel of the room upon an old bed.

There was nothing but a bunch of rags under her head. There waa tbe body of an old black gown tied round her shoulders with a gaiter The bed wss like a dunghill There were a great many wounds ora the body ros, exsmined I would rather hare stayed up seven days than hat allowed a mother of mine to have been in that state. It would not have required much strength to keep hrr dean There waa bacon, bread, and cheese In the house. 1 never knew the defendant give any one a misword in mv life I rnce went, by the directions of Ellrn Head, to ul Mr atts to send a surgeon to her mother Mr Watts waa out. but Mrs.

Waits told me directly to go for one illtsm alter 1 am a labourer at Freshford I went to Susannah Hill shot tly before ahe died, to visit her and prav with her in her affliction. She was in a shocking bad slate as far as regarded her temporal affairs. She wss entirely blind. 1 should not think all that waa under, over, and about her was worth la. fkl Tbe bed waa in audi a state that I waa obliged to hold my handkerchief to my nose, and was vejy aick and ill afterward.

Themaa Hill waa lying on the floor I saw him six months before his death lying in a ditch He was fast asleep It was 10 dock. Cross examined I rousefl him, and he went home It wo the middle of summer. I should not have left a parent relative in such a state as the old woman was in James HdL I lived in the poor cottages. My wife was as bad aa bad could be. I went to Mr Watta's 20 or TO times, and hey would not give me more than a week I told him he ought to alios ua a little more, and he said Dikewas the ovetseer 1 then asked Dike to let us hsve some more, snd 1 said he should not, And 1 might go to atts 1 tolri tl em my wife was very 111.

msa examined. I have not been able to go to Bath more tl an once a etk for 13 months. I am 86'yeara of age I netcr auoke unkind to my son I cursed him because he wss filthy I cleaned blm as well a 1 could, and I kept mv wife aa clean as ever I could. Her face waa so bad ahe could not bear to hare it washed I kept her dean till within a fortnight of her death Dike told me I might wash my wife clothes myself There was no hole in the floor, but there were two in the ceiling Mr i Bythsea. I am a magistrate of Wiltshire and hate b.en so 15 month Head and hla wife came to me to be sworn I read over their statements to them before the) were sworm Cross examined I did not know that I had no authorit; viti in iumnuuiit, uvuir win a magistrate ot iitsntre.

i Know it now toionel Kapler did not give me that information. I do not know whether I taw Colonel spier's letter to the poor law commiasionera before I swore tneae people. i he letter was placed in the witness's hands to which his signature waa attached I ca nt say whether the examination waa in Captain Napier's handwriting It may have been in my writing, as I took several myself I suppose the deposition waa brought to me by EUen Head. I have seen Colonel Napier write very often but It ia as probable that Head's deposition was in my writing, aa In any other person a I am not at all certain that it was in Colonel Nspler hand writing 1 don't pretend to ssy that it may not be the Ian guage of Colonel Napier, it certainly ia not Ellen Heads style Most probably I might have, believed it waa Colonel "Napier. Thomas Nicholl.

I am a glaiier at Bradford I mende I the windows of the rreshford poor cottage in January, LIEU I remember Thomas HilL He was in the room, laid on the floor I took the window out to repair it, because it wanted new beading There were 33 pains of glass broken in the boose There were five or six pains out in tbe window in Thomas Hill's room. Tht room wsa ia a terrible dirty stats, the smell made me UL. oung HOj asked bis father to lilt him off the ground. The father said, No, you naaty toad, I'd sooner jump upon you and put you out of the way, than lift you up. I let him he there, he wax so dirty I could not touch him.

I wu not aware he was Ql at that lime. The atmosphere oi the room went out at the window like the amoke of a fire. I took the window home with me My father replaced it. I went there the next morning, and found Thomaa Hill was dead Cross examined The Hills bad two rooms in tbe cottage. I would not have touched tha window if I had known Hill was Ul.

There wu paper and other things put in tbe window to tTevent any air coining in. I did not perceive any considerable air coming In to hurt aar person. There were soma provision in tbe bouse tome loaves and cheese and butter. I wu at the Inquest. I wu interrupted In my examination there by Colonel Napier I think tbe coroner interfered and said I should go on.

It wu some person in the room, but I dont know who it wax. I did ro on with my story. Benjamin Everett, I live la Warminster, and am a wool stapler It is IS mile from Freshford. I remember Thorns HlU. I uw him times between Aupist, 1832, and ChrUt mas, 1834.

He wu always la a wretched deplorable Mate, always filth yand almost in a state, of nudity to covering. I hare trareDed thousand of miles, but nerer uw an object so dlswestlas; aromas Hm, the idiot, Hewunotfit to be trusted alooe. Ciuo eaumlncd. 1 nerer gave hia anything. He never hid sense enough ask for anything.

I bad not enough Arias to keep toe warm. The money wwsld not run tor iL I had to pay for firias; out of the 3a. a week. I had one sheet and my own wearing apparel only to cover me. 1 sent my wife to make arplicationa to the overseers.

Tbey did not come to sec me. Colonel Napier called at my cectaae, ana Mtu isapicr Drought me food and money Mr Leigh housekeeper brought me a sheet and a rug. Cross exsmined. Colonel spier called about a fortnieht after I wu taken ID. It wu towards Christmas.

Mary Smart, wife of last witness. My husband wu iH in December, 1834. I applied to Mr. Dike and Mr Watts foi relief seven ot eight timet. I told Mr Watts my husband wu very ill.

He ordered me to go to Mr. Dike and let him know II I went to Mr. Dike, who gave me is the first time I applied. I applied at tbe vestry Mr Dike, Mi Welsh, and Af Watts, were there. I told Mr.

He taid me to go to Dike I went to Dike, and ea.led on him several times, but he gave me nothing but tbe next week be gave me 3s. and a peck of potatoes. 1 got in the month and a peck of potatoes, to n'n''n fire of us. I asked Mr. atts and Mr Dike to come and see my husband, but thev did not.

atts said, perhaps if he came thst wsy, be might call in. Mrs. Napier called at our cottage ahe gave 2., and brought me iood, and ordered me to ber bouse next morning, and I went and got some soup Colonel Napier called In about a fortnight after that Mr Leigh sent us a sheet and a rug Cioss examined. husband worked well when be had anything to do. He had been working for a long time, but he got very little for it did starve it out before we went to the parish.

He had not half work that winter My husband ha got his muter to seek every morning he sometimes geit Is. and sometimes lOd. a day get our dress by the charity of the ladies, who won let ua go naked. get nothing from the Inion, Mrs. Napier gave us plenty of food or we should have starved.

We tried Sir Henry Trollope, but I got nothing I tried Captain Bift, Mid I got something from mm I got As. from the charity money, but that ha nothing to do with the parish money I don remember being sworn till Colonel Napier came up Mary Hansford. I am the wife of Oeorge Hansford, and live at I reshford I had four children living in the summer of 1833, they had the small pox I had work to do one day in a week for which I had sixpence. My husband earned bs. a week if he worked, but hit health wu so bad that he could scarcely ever work a whole week.

We had nothing else to live on. I went to ilr Wilts when my children had the email pox, and asked him to aend a doctor They had then been Ul a fortnight. He told me the doctor should come The doctor did not come for a week or rather better Mr Adey, tbe doctor, attended the children next door I uw him, and ran after him, and aaked him to come in. He wu the parish doctor Mr Adey came in when I asked him, and attended the children till tbe dote of the disease. One of the children died, and the other three suffered very much I hsd not auffident nourishment for them, examined 1 don know whether the pariah chil dren had been sent the week before to Bath to be vacdnated Mr husband at that time wu acting shepherd to Mr MIBt BIS UU "FB.

a Wtft. WIM IWI U.u WJ atts did not aay me. In the presence of Susan ard. that Mr Ader wu coming Into the parish the same day to vlait some other children, aad that I should look out lor him and have him in hia name. He told me that in hia yard or house, but I never saw uan Ward.

Sir Adey had attended my husband through the year the paruh doctor Ke examlned. Mr Watt told me that I might apply to 31 A ley about a week after my first application to bun (M atta) a 4aw nf TlrAtnwA 1 mtmfAA SWn Ktlit an of Hester Wiltshire for the small pox, for the parish of Brad ford I wu not at that time the pariah surgeon ot reshford, but we were called in it wu requisite In the course of that attendance, I wu called in by Mary Hansford. I found her children with the natural small pox, and one of them dangerously ill. I thought they were destitute, and that they had not comforts they should have they bad not sufficient clothing The one that wu so very ill wu in a sort of cnb. I attended the children afterwards.

I then wrote a note addieased to the perijh officers. 1 called on Watt the day after (he child died, which death occurred three days after I wu first called in. I stated to WatU that the other children sere dangerously UL and requested him to rend somt support, which he promised to do.

I applied to Watts because the woman stated ahe had applied to another overseer who had refused to aend her auppoiu I had been called in a week earlier.

1 do not know whether I could have abated the disease. I think there might hare been a possibility Crowuexaniined. Ihaveknoa 31r WatU for torn time, and be hat ever paid that attention to the poor a pariah officer ought to pay He did all I wished him. As far I know, his character is good Re exsmined. I confine myself to this case.

Mr Serjeant BoMra then addressed the jury for the defendant. It would now become his duty to mske observations on thia long cue, to which their attention had been called, and whatever might be tbe event of it, of which he bad not the least doubt. It must be sadsfaetoiy to all to see the careful and patient attention they bad paid to the case He need not uy that to hit client it wu a case of great importance, both to character an I to pumahment, and to a person in hia situation, circumstanced he was, it wsa to him hta future prospect in life. He should think ill of him if he did not believe that bia character wu of more importance than any punithment that could follow aay verdict, and it wu therefore to him a question of character, in his laa learned sergeant a) view, of the highest possible moment It wu whether he had the character ot a humane or cruel man whether he prrfotmed hia public duties with propriety, or whether, forgetful of those sacred duties, he neglected their pcrformance to the misery of those who lived under him. If he had rot teen their careful attention, be confessed be should have approached this case with fear, not that the fad would bear agaiaat him, but lest, forgetful of the facts, they should act upon an impression necessarily cut upon the minds of all with refeicn to the melancholy sufferingsof which they had heard.

There wu no ground to pretend that his client could net eater Into those feelings with deep and bitter regret any of the jury No one could look throughout this world without hav ing many a bitter pang on beholding tbe deep misery that existed they could not understand the various arrangementa of ovidrnce by which that wu appointed to many existing in this world. They knew there were scenes of misery, lnctt it able, Incurable, unrelenting they attacked the poor, diey fell victims tbey attacked the rich, they were no lets iu victims and he supposed if they had to go through the whole catalogue of human miseries, there were none more bitter none more wretched than the disease which had been brought before them in all itt melancholy and disgusting details he mrant a cancer; it had every quality In It that wounded and harrowed up the soul, and its certain, fatal, ultimate destiny death wu its mast certain consequence. In its nature offensive and loathsome. It Patted onwards, till it seemed to corrupt the whole frame, destroying tne strong, and ultimately marked tne victim a sacrifice to death They had all heard the detail, and they had been rneved and disgusted with it, but they would not give a verdict against nis cuent because it nad wen tne lot or this unfortunate woman to suffer In his parish It wu above hi control, above the control of every human bring hen the disease look hold of thia poor woman, nothing could resist It no pttrer could delay ita progress It must end in desth In ton aider ng thia case. It would be their duty to look to the misconduct of those who were poor and receiving relief, and see whether it wu not more owing to them than to the person now indicted He would venture to uy no jury itt the country hardly ever uw a case brought before them aathia had been, where one party had traced another with Inch unrelenting invrtency, who had disregarded the judgment of one jury, but had pursued him with the greatest hostility in them look at the conduct of Colonel Napier, and teethe course pursued bv him towards hit client.

The learned aerjeant then adverted to the proceedings af the coroner inquest, to the bill being presented to the grand jury this time 13 months, when 30 witnesses were examinedj the inquiry lasYing two days, and yet the bill a ignited That Colonel Napier collected witnesses and got np that rase That a publication wu Inserted In the newspapers nendlne the proceedings. Thst a petition wu pesented to tbe House of Commons, and 190 members of Parliament were canvassed That the Oovemment bad been induced to take it np, and that it had thia advantage It had Ratified the 'eelinrs of Colonel Napier, but did not touch his pocket, the prosecution wu carried on at the public expense There were cry few eases where a second bill wu sent up to a grand lurr. but here, Colooel Napier thinking be had not the ume Influence with the grand jury of magistrates at the astiies he might have at the sessions, had caused the bill to be presented to th quarter sessions grand jury, and to be removed by certiorari The learned counsel then went into the evidence, to aupport tne several allegations tn tne indictment. If over seers were to give relief to every person who aaked, it would be very wdl for a little time, but In proportion they gave so would the demand increase to such an extent that the paupers would become the cancerous sore ot society uy giving such an independence it would be found, in this instance, that the moat sacred bonds of relationship would be torn asunder, that the daughter would not help the mother, and the father would not assist the on, but the pnh must pay all. The unhappy idiat in thl case, Mill more unhappy being the son of such a father, wu cursed by hla unnatural father even In the laat liour of hia life, and that man had claimed that the pariah ahould pay his own daughter for washing the trifling things for her own mother It wu uid by Colonel Napier, who had put the Government in motion, that it wu not decent for the husband to administer those comforts i relieving the wants of his wife, which the rich, under such a state of suflerlng, were constantly In the habit of doing Tbe learned counsel having with very great force animadverted upon the evidence given by the dl9ereut witnesses, con duded by expressing the greatest confidence ia having tadr verdict.

This wu sa action in which the plaintiff sought to recover damages of the defendant for criminal convtrution with the plaintiff's wife Mr Alexander. Mr Cromptan. and Mr Wlrbtman. at. peared for the plaintiff, and Mr Watson for the defendant.

Mr Alexawdeb. in stating tbe case to the lurv. laid that they had the opportunity at tbe assizes for so large a county Lancaster to witneu all kind of proceeding, from those of the most important to those ot the moat trMal nature, and he wu happy to say that those of the kind which be hsd now the honour to conduct were of verr rare ocrnr rrncehere, but ef all the Injuries which called for redress, or wmen qouia oeinnictea oy one man upon anotner, nwtaougnt that the seduction of hit wife or "his titter wu the greateat. The plaintif" in tbe present case wu gentleman who resided in Liverpool, and the defendant wu a wine meiclumt.ln the ume place. They had "been Intimate friend for a eonskler able time.

The plaintiff possessed uiuptily to the amount of "00 or R00 a year, and had a mother and sister whose incomes amounted to about 300. a year more. At they founl it best to unite their mesas, they had lived together in the tame house. In the autumn of 1833 the plaintiff's wife, who wu a lady of some considerable attractions, and wu the daughter of a Major Cross, came on a visit to a family in Liverpool. The plaintiff saw her A mutuil attachment took place, and tbey were shortly married with erery prospect of happiness.

Tn defendant wu one ofrthe first to congratulate bit friend. He was present at the marriage breakfast. The plaintiff thought he had a friend in the defendant. It proved, though he found it too late, that he wu a riper in his bosom ready to ttlng him the most leader part. The plaintiff wu a most indulgent husband, and so far appearance went bis wife gave a auitable return to hi affection.

A few month ago the went to ber unde'a, on a visit, at Onrar hiUV in the county of Essex, and soon after she got there her husband received a letter from ber, stating bow happy the wu and how kind her friends were to her, and that were it not for hia absence she should hare nothinr to mm. Shortly after she wu gone, the plaintiff received tome intimation that there had been an improper intimacy between her and the defendant, and the hia cost, that notwithstanding appearances three Toomlrj had not elapsed after the marriage before she had thrown henell info the defendant's arms. This led to further Inquiry Her writing desk wu opened, and in it wise niad a number of poetical effusions of the defendant (one of which the learned counsel read) and several songs. She played, and be wu food of trusic, and it had been observed that they were often together at the pianoforte and ft wu thus, and in the seductive manner which be displayed to the ladr, that the defendant had succeeded In withdrawing her affections fro her husband and nxing tnem upon ntmseit. it was dented that tbey bad taken advantage of every opportunity that had; bees offered them for their abandoned purpose.

8h went to the market, he met her there, and they retired to the bouse of strangers, where they continued for two or three boars to gether He accompanied her to tea gardens and to brothels, and had even made the plaintiff's own boose tbe scene of msny of those iniurles which he had irraicted apoa the on happy woman and her huabrvd.
