Saturday 26 Sep 1818 (p. 2, col. 6 - p. 3, col. 1+3) Prison Discipline.-Milham HARTLEY, Esq. the High Sheriff, on the application of Dr. HEYSHAM, has not only given the Ladies' Society leave to visit the gaol whenever they shall think fit, for the purpose of affording instruction to the female prisoners, &c. but Mrs. HARTLEY has tendered pecuniary assistance in the most handsome manner. A great number of Ladies of the first respectability are ready to join in this work of doing good. It is proposed that the annual Subscription of each member shall be 5s. The following have been chosen a Committee for the ensuing year, to report their proceedings quarterly, to a general Meeting of the Association:- Mrs. BOWES, | Mrs. HEAD, Mrs. H. HALL, | Mrs. SCOTT, Mrs. FAWCETT, | Miss MOUNSEY, Mrs. STORDY, | Miss FERGUSON, Fisher-st. Mrs. HARTLEY, | Miss FERGUSON, English-st. Miss GILPIN, | Miss ROBINSON, Miss GALE, Secretary. The Committee will commence their enquiries without loss of time, and much good may be looked for from their exertions. They cannot be more laudably employed than in reclaiming the vicious "from the evil of their ways." We this week saw a quantity of very fine onions which grew in the garden of Mr. Joseph PEASCOD, of this City; their average size was four inches and a half diameter, thirteen inches circumference; and weight, sixteen ounces. Timothy GLAISTER, of Hesket-New-Market, was killed a few days ago in the parish of Greystoke, by the upsetting of a cart laden with wood, one of the pieces of which penetrated his breast. Saturday se'ennight, a child about five years of age, belonging to Mr. John NICHOLSON, of Scaregreen, near Calderbridge, was unfortunately killed by a stone falling upon it from a well. It survived only a few minutes after receiving the injury. Mr. John PERKINS is elected one of the Common Council of the ancient Borough of Appleby. A Chapel, in the Independent Connexion, has been opened at Burton-in-Kendal. A respectable farmer, within five miles of Hexham, has a daughter, who has just completed her 12th year, of such amazing bulk, that she is supposed to weigh 16 stone! THOMAS GASKIN.-The following is a copy of a letter, written in a beautiful hand, by this wonderful boy, about three months ago, to his uncle, a poor weaver residing in Dalston: "DEAR UNCLE.-Agreeable to your request, I address you for the first time. Should any thing be found in my letter that is not correct, or any thing omitted, I hope you will be candid enough to consider my years and how short a time it is since I could neither make a figure nor a letter. When my Grandmother was at our house, which is only two years since this Summer, I had not then begun to write, nor for some time afterwards; but since that time, by close application and the blessing of God, my understanding has been greatly enlarged, especially in Mathematical knowledge; but you will be astonished when I tell you that I am not without enemies, for a schoolmaster of ---, had the presumption to say that I was not acquainted even with the first rules of Arithmetic, although he had never been in my company: but this monster (under the appearance of a gentleman) met with such a reply as he did not expect; for a friend of mine informed him, that I should try him for any sum he had a mind to propose; but he modestly refused, saying, a child was not worth his notice. I have also my friends, for I have been examined by some of the most respectable men in the town, and particularly by the learned Dr. --, who had the goodness to present me with a very handsome present, and at the same time expressed a desire to send my copies on Algebra to Edinbro' to be examined by Professor PLAYFAIR, which was accordingly done. "Your affectionate Nephew, "THOMAS GASKIN." The letter likewise contains specimens of his attainments in Algebra, Mensuration, Trigonometry, and Fluxions. He was nine years of age on the 12th of May last.

LOCAL POLICE COURTS. KIRKBY STEPHEN – MONDAY, AUG. 31 (Before DR. SIMPSON and THOMAS MASON, Esq.) ALLEGED ROBBERY AT A LODGING-HOUSE. A railway labourer named JOHNSON was charged by MRS. MARY ANN SANDERSON, the keeper of a lodging house at Brough, with stealing half-a-sovereign on Saturday last. From the evidence of prosecutor and her two sons, it appeared that on the night in question, MRS. SANDERSON left the house in charge of her son GEORGE HENRY SANDERSON, a boy about eleven years of age. Shortly afterwards, an older and married son – WILLIAM JAMES SANDERSON – called and left half-a-sovereign for his mother, which he placed upon the table. Soon after this, prisoner came in to stay for the night, and after sitting a little while, gave the boy 2s. 6d. and sent him to make some marketing. Whilst on this errand he met with his mother, and the two returned to the house, where prisoner was still sitting. The boy had told his mother about the money WILLIAM had left, but when they looked on the table for it, it was not there. They immediately came to the conclusion that the prisoner had stolen it, and MRS. SANDERSON charged him indirectly with doing so. This he denied, but the son WILLIAM and the policeman were sent for, and he was taken into custody. On being searched, no half sovereign was found upon him, but it appeared that on the same night, about eleven o’clock, one CHRISTOPHER RUDD was coming out of a workshop immediately behind MRS. SANDERSON’s, belonging to her son, when, as he closed the door, he heard something fall and jingle like money. On picking it up, it proved to be half-a-sovereign. The inference of the prosecution was that the coin had first been stolen by prisoner and then laid above the workshop door till he should leave. – The Bench, after considering the case said that however strong the inference might be, they could not convict on the evidence, and the case was therefore dismissed. DRUNKENESS, &c. – WILLIAM WHITEHEAD, shoemaker, was fined 11s. including costs, for being drunk and disorderly in the Main Street, Kirkby Stephen, on the 23rd ult. - PETER FOWLER, Crosby Garrett, had 20s. and costs to pay as penalty for a similar offence committed at Crosby Garrett. - TIMOTHY HALL, labourer, Brough, was sentenced to expiate the folly of drunken and riotous behaviour by paying 10s. and costs. - MARY PAGE, wife of WM. PAGE, Ravenstonedale, was charged with assaulting and beating a boy named WILLIAM RICHARDSON. Case dismissed. - An information for assault had been laid by JAMES THOMAS PURCHAS against ROBT. GILIAN, but the matter settled “out of court.” =============================================================== barb, ontario, canada.

On beholding my Marriage in the Patriot, the which must have arisen either from some "mystical union between" myself (Timothy COBBLESERMON, A.M.) and your printing press, or "from the envy, hatred, and malice," of some evil disposed person or persons, seeing that up to the inditing of "these presents," I have not taken unto me a help-mate. How throbbed my heart! how rose the tear! How trembled every joint with fear! How drooped away my courage! Distended jaws; wide-staring eyes; Instant my hair 'gan bristling rise, When first I saw my marriage. How now! by Jove but this is queer, Married! and know not how or where! 'Twas surely done by proxy;- Great kings take wives they never saw, And why not by the self-same law, A sprig of Orthodoxy. Thinking it all a dream might be, I rubbed my cob-webbed eyes to see, Put to my nose the taper: Quick as the swallow skims the lake, Again I thought, 'tis a mistake Of your news-spreading paper! * * Our good-humoured Correspondent makes rather a "lame conclusion." DEATHS. On the 10th inst. in this City, Judith, daughter of Mrs. TWENTYMAN, and grand-daughter of Mr. John GIBBONS, Rickergate, aged 12 years. Since our last:-Mr. William M'CUBBIE, of Spring Garden, aged 20 years.-Mr. Stephen DUNGLINSON, of Rickergate, aged 98 years.-In Caldewgate, in the prime of life, Mrs. RUTHERFORD, wife of Mr. Thomas RUTHERFORD.

At Annan, on Sunday last, at an advanced age, John BELL, clogger; a man of great respectability, and highly esteemed by a numerous circle of acquaintances.

EAST WARD UNION. The fortnightly meeting at Appleby was held on Saturday last. MR. JOHN ROBINSON presided, and the following guardians were also present: W. J?NESON, HENRY BURNE, JOHN IRVING, JOHN LANCASTER, WILLIAM SANDERSON, WILLIAM STEPHENSON, and ROBT. ATKINSON. WORKHOUSE SCHOOL. A letter was read from the Local Government Board forwarding the Certificate awarded to MISS BRAMLEY, the Workhouse school-mistress, after the recent examination of herself and her pupils by MR. MOZLEY, the Government Inspector, from which it appears that MISS BRAMLEY’s qualifications as a teacher, as shown by her examination papers, are of a high order, and that the school is in a very efficient state, entitling her to a certificate of efficiency (third division). The average number of scholars under her care during the year the certificate stated was 30, and the sum she would be entitled to out of the Parliamentary grant for the year ending Lady Day, 1873, would be at the rate of £39 per annum, being an increase, the Clerk remarked, as compared with last year of £7 9s. APPLEBY WATER SUPPLY. A letter was brought under the attention of the Sanitary Authority by MR. DIXON, Sanitary Inspector, which had been addressed to him by DR. PAGE, with reference to the supplies of water for domestic use at Appleby. – Samples from the Shambles, Low Cross, High Wiend and Low Weind passage pumps had been submitted to the chemical analysis by DR. PAGE, who reports the results as follows: “My examination of the water samples sent me proves them to be, without exception, highly charged with organic matter, and quite unfit for drinking purposes. Even the Low Cross Pump is bad, shewing evidence of previous contamination with animal matter; but the other three are among the worst waters I have examined for some time. – The Low Weind passage, and the High Wiend pumps are worse, but the Shambles pump is par excellence the worst – the water was even foul to the eye. I shall shortly take an opportunity to examine the other sources of water supply in Appleby, before reporting upon them at length. Meanwhile it would be advisable to warm people frequenting those in question as to their condition, and advise them to prefer the Low Cross as the least harmful for domestic use. It would be of interest if you could ascertain from those best qualified to tell you, if any, or all those pumps ever exhibit a variation in their appearance or quality of their supplies. DR. ARMSTRONG remarked, you will remember, upon the Shambles pump, and you might now inform him that chemical examination endorses and proves his statement; indeed, without some other known channel of pollution, the analysis goes to show that there is considerable percolation from the sewer above. All the waters were exceedingly hard to test, which I suppose will be a well known fact to those using them.” =============================================================== barb, ontario, canada.

Saturday 19 Sep 1818 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SCOTLAND. Mr. NORVEL, Bookseller, of Annan, is appointed Agent for this Paper, in that town and neighbourhood, and all orders, advertisements, and articles of intelligence handed to him, will meet with due attention. On Monday, the incorporations of Dumfries had their annual election, when they chose the following deacons of crafts:-Messrs. William HAYLAND, of the Hammermen; Kinlock WINLAW, of the Squaremen; John M'GEORGE, of the Weavers; Robert GRAINGER, of the Taylors; Peter ANDERSON, of the Shoemakers; Alexander LOOKUP, of the Skinners; & James ROAN, of the Fleshers. On the following evening, Mr. GRAINGER was re-elected Convener. On the 11th inst., the freeholders of the burgh of Gatehouse-of-Fleet, elected the following gentlemen as magistrates and councillors for the ensuing year:-George BROWN, Esq., Provost;-Messrs. Samuel M'CLELLAN, and James CARSON, Bailies;-John M'WHAE, Joseph M'NISH, Nelson RAE, and John GORDON, Councillors. Burgh of Maxwelltown.-On Friday the 11th current, as appointed by the charter of election, the Burgesses of the Burgh of Maxwelltown assembled to elect their Magistrates and Councillors, for the ensuing year, and again made choice of Philip FORSYTH, Esq. of Nithside, to be Provost; Messrs. James BROWN and William M'KAY, to be Bailies; and Messrs. James SHORTRIDGE, John FORSYTH, James LOCKE, and David M'LELLAN, to be Councillors.-The meeting, on this occasion, was very numerous, and far beyond any former occasion.-An anxious canvass had taken place for some time past; and it is remarkable, that not a single individual who wished to get into office was elected, and those who have been chosen never asked a vote, nor was one asked for them; on the contrary, they were disposed to decline the offices, but, yielding to the wishes of a virtuous majority of their fellow-citizens, they accepted them. Melancholy Accident.-On Monday last, the sloop Salmon, sailed from Annan for Liverpool, but the wind proving contrary, the captain was obliged to put about the vessel and attempt to gain the port he had just left. While in this situation, beating against the wind and tide, the boom of the sloop, which was yielding to the force of the gale struck John BECK, one of her crew, and carried him overboard, by which accident he was drowned. The deceased was a young, industrious, and sober lad, the only son and support of a widowed mother, who is now left in distress, to deplore his untimely fate. Viciousness of an Ass.-On Saturday last, while a son of Mr. BROACH's, farmer in Riggfoot, was attempting to drive away an ass that had escaped from a neighbouring park into one of his father's potatoe fields, the animal turned upon the astonished boy, knocked him down, and while in that situation repeatedly kicked him on the head, and otherwise bruised his body in a shocking manner. The poor boy having at last extricated himself from the ass, was attempting to climb an adjoining fence, when the animal, after uttering a most unearthly yell, renewed the attack, and would soon have killed the boy, had it not been for the timely interference of some of the servants belonging to the adjoining farm.

Vagrant Office, Carlisle.-Fifty-four applied at the Vagrant Office, Carlisle, from the 11th to the 18th instant-41 relieved-Amount of Relief and Lodging, 8s. 6d. We stated a week or two ago, that a man had been attacked by a fish at the head of the Solway Firth, supposed to be of the shark species. The story was thought improbable at the time by many, but it was strictly correct. Yesterday week, the fishermen on the Scotch side caught a shark in their net, about four feet in length, which was exhibited at Carlisle on Saturday; and on the following night, they caught another rather smaller. On Thursday last, a Public Meeting was held at Penrith, the object of which was to consider the propriety of indicting a Lodging House in that Town at the next Quarter Sessions, the keepers of which are in the habit of harbouring Vagrants and other Persons of the lowest description, and refusing to give any information respecting them, when called upon to do so. The Magistrates granted a warrant empowering a levy fine of 10s.; and if more circumspection is not used in future, an indictment will be preferred. We understand that a Subscription of several hundred pounds has been raised for the education of Thomas GASKING, the child of whose extraordinary powers we gave an account in our last paper. At the general gaol delivery at Castletown, Isle of Man, on Wednesday se'nnight, Robert JOHNSTON, for forging notes on the Bank of England, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to fourteen years transportation.-John WATERSON and James CHRISTIAN for sheep-stealing, and John MILLER, for a rape, prayed that they might be permitted to abjure the Island, without trial, which was granted.

Susan There is a place in Carlisle near the Castle called the Sauceries which they believe got its name in medieval times because it belonged to the man who made the Kings sauces. Given that advert is for the letting of land this is probably what it refers to. A Kavel I believe is a parcel of land, not sure if it has a defined size though. A fulling mill is a water mill where they 'full' or wash woollen cloth as part of its manufacture. First they scour the cloth to clean out all the oil and waste and then mill it to thicken it. It is then stretched on a tenter frame which is suspended by tenterhooks, hence the saying being on tenterhooks.

Saturday 12 Sep 1818 (p. 3, col. 5) BIRTH. Sunday the 30th ult. at the Rectory House, Dissington, the Lady of the Rev. Henry LOWTHER, A. M. of a Daughter. MARRIAGES. On the 10th inst. at Walton Church, by the Rev. G. GILBANKS, Mr. NICHOLSON, of East House, Northumberland, to Sarah, second daughter of Lowry CALVERT, Esq. of Sandysike. On the 7th inst. at Penrith, Mr. Robert HULL, to Miss Elizabeth MARTIN. DEATHS. On Friday last, at Botcherby, near this City, Thos. HOLMES, aged 90, one of the Society of Friends. Since our last:-Robert, son of Mr. BLACKLOCK, shoemaker, Green-market, aged 16.-Mr. James FORSTER, of Blackfriars-street, aged 54.-Jane HAMILTON, of the West Walls, aged 10. On the 7th instant, aged 84 years, John Orfeur YATES, Esq., of Skirwith Abbey, in this County. On the 22nd August, aged 75, Mr. James KING, of Saltwell Cottage, in the county of Durham; a gentleman universally and deservedly regretted by a numerous circle of friends. At Mount Pleasant, near Whitehaven, Mr. William WHITE, aged 75 years. At Crossfield, near Cleator, Mrs. Mary BENN, widow. The 31st. ult. at Dearham, Mary, the wife of Mr. John LIGHTFOOT aged 55. At Bongate, Appleby, Mr. Richard SATTERTHWAITE, Quarter Master Sergeant on the Staff of the Royal Westmorland Militia. At Kendal, last week:-Mr. William SANDWICH, shearman. He was found by his wife, on her return from a place of worship, lying on the floor covered with blood-a vessel was ruptured, and he died immediately. Mr. John ROBINSON, traveller for Mrs. GIBSON, hosier, of Stramongate. He had just returned home from a journey, and complained of indisposition; no danger was apprehended, but he died on the following morning. On the 26th ult., in his 69th year, the Rev. Thomas STARKIE, A. M., formerly Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, Vicar of Blackburn for 38 years. At Douglas, Isle of Man, Mr. John MOORE, surgeon, aged 24. At his seat, at Bedfords, near Rumford, in the 80th year of his age, John HEATON, Esq., brother of Mrs. MACHELL, of Low Plains, in this county; many years Auditor to the Dukes of Devonshire and Portland, the Earl of Bradford, and Lord G. H. CAVENDISH. On the 1st inst. at the Holt, near Bishop's Waltham, Admiral Sir Robert CALDER, Bart. in 74th year of his age. At Lochfield, last week, Mrs. PAGAN, relict of D. PAGAN, Esq., of Lochfield, late of Dumfries. On Sunday last, at Dumfries, Mr. David PETTIT, in his 28th year, compositor in the Office of the Dumfries Journal. The circumstances attending the melancholy and untimely death of the Hon. Mr. AYNSLEY, brother of Lord Valentia, are extremely affecting. He had been married only a fortnight to an accomplished young lady, Miss AINSWORTH, of Halliwell, near Bolton, and after having visited the Lakes of Cumberland, went to Blackpool. On Thursday morning the 27th ult. he went into the sea to bathe. The water was rough, and it had not reached his middle when he dropped down, to rise no more. A sudden stupor is supposed to have seized his head. The tide was at full, and his body was not found for five hours afterwards. His unhappy wife was looking from her chamber window when he dropped in the water. A gentleman, an expert swimmer, went into the sea, assisted with a rope, to endeavour to find the unfortunate sufferer, but failed. The Semiramis frigate arrived last week at Portsmouth, and we lament to add, with the corpse of her late Captain, the gallant Sir James YEO, on board. The Semiramis comes from the coast of Africa, her term of service on that station having expired. Sir James YEO was not in a good state of health when he went out, and the most serious apprehensions for his life, now unfortunately realized, have been for some time entertained by his friends and relatives.

Saturday 12 Sep 1818 (p. 4, col. 2) Precocity of Talent.-Mr. GOUGH has favoured the public with the following account of a child, nine years old, at present residing in Kendal: Thomas GASKING is the son of an industrious and ingenious journeyman shoemaker, of Penrith; and I now proceed to notice his literary attainments, which he has acquired in the course of two years. He has learned to read correctly and gracefully; he writes a good hand with surprising expedition; and he has made some progress in the English Grammar. The boy went through this part of his education in a day-school at Penrith; but he is indebted for his mathematical knowledge to the tuition of his father, who though in low circumstances, has laudably dedicated his hours of leisure to scientific pursuits, as I am informed. Little GASKING seems well acquainted with the leading propositions in Euclid; he reads and works Algebra with the greatest facility, and has entered upon the study of Fluxions. I am aware that this report will appear incredible to those who are acquainted with the different subjects which have been enumerated; but the following instance of his wonderful proficiency will, in all probability, remove any doubts that competent judges may entertain. A stranger gentleman, who was invited with myself to examine the boy, requested him to demonstrate the thirteenth proposition of the first book of Euclid; which he did immediately. The demonstration of the twentieth proposition of the same book was next proposed: he drew out the figure, and though he failed in his first attempt, he soon recovered the train of reasoning, and went through the demonstration correctly. Being asked, If he had two sides of a triangle and the angle included given, how he would proceed to find the third side? the process appeared quite familiar to him, and we found, upon inquiry, he was acquainted with logarithms, and was able to use them. In spherical trigonometry, he solved two cases of right-angled triangles by Lord NAPIER's rules. His skill and the rapidity of his operations, in algebra, created more surprise than his knowledge of geometry;-he solved a number of quadratic equations with the greatest ease, and extracted the square roots of the numbers which resulted from his operations. Several questions were put to him which contained two unknown quantities; these he also answered without difficulty. Being asked if he had been taught the application of algebra to geometry, he answered in the affirmative, and immediately solved the following problem:-Given one leg of a right-angle triangle, and the excess of the hypothenuse above the other leg, to construct the triangle. He answered two or three problems relating to the maxima of numbers and of geometrical magnitudes with ease, and took the fluxions, which were not difficult, correctly. When the age of this child is compared with his scientific attainments, we can look on him in no other light than a literary phenomenon, who promises to become an ornament to one of the British Universities, unless his progress should unfortunately be checked by indigence, or the vigour of his mind should be enfeebled by some sinister accident.

Saturday 12 Sep 1818 (p. 3, col. 2) On the morning of Saturday last, the Lodge of Castletown House, Rockliff, belonging to Robert MOUNSEY, Esq. was broken into, and a silver watch, two pair of sheets, and £3 5s. in silver were stolen therefrom. A reward has been offered for the discovery of the offender or offenders. A fine Leicester Ewe Sheep was stolen from the Bush Farm, near Longtown, a few days ago, by a man who is supposed to have taken the animal away in a wheelbarrow. Mad Dogs.—In consequence of the prevalence of Mad Dogs in this district, and the appearance of several in Carlisle, the Mayor has admonished all persons having dogs to confine them. On Thursday last, a weaver named DOWELL, resident in this City, exhibited his gormandizing powers to great advantage. He made a bet that he would devour, within 50 minutes, an apple pie, consisting of ⅛th of a stone of flour, and one hoop (two gallons) of apples, drink two pints of ale, and smoke two pipes of tobacco. This feat he performed within the stipulated time, but, according to our informant, with some difficulty. We may add—no wonder! Committed to Carlisle Gaol, on Tuesday last, from Whitehaven, John TOWNSEND, charged with forging an order for the payment of prize-money, with an intent to defraud the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. Vagrant Office, Carlisle.—Sixty-two applied at this Office from the 4th to the 11th of Sept.—Amount of relief & lodging, 7s. 8d.—ABDULARAB, a foreigner, who was relieved at this Office on the 15th of last month, returned again, begging in the streets: the Mayor thought right to punish him as the Law directs—whipping out of the town. Vagrant Office, Penrith.—Relief given to Vagrants from the 2nd to the 9th of Sept. inst., 2s. 1½d., including lodgings—8 applications—7 relieved. A very excellent sermon was preached in Wigton Church on Sunday last, by the Rev. Mr. DODD, in aid of the venerable Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, after which the sum of £7 : 12 : 2 : was collected.

Saturday 05 Sep 1818 (p. 3, col. 3-4) LANCASTER ASSIZES. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. SETTLE v. CRUMBLEHOLME—This was a special jury cause, but only one special juror appearing, the parties prayed a tales. Mr. FELL stated the action to be brought by Sarah SETTLE against John CRUMBLEHOLME, for having violated his promise of marriage to her by marrying another woman. He pleaded that he had made no such promise, and thereupon issue was joined. Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury.—He had to lament that it had fallen to his lot to address them for the plaintiff instead of his Learned Friend (Mr. TOPPING), who had at the last Assizes obtained the largest damages ever given for breach of promise of marriage. Yet he was grateful to him, although he had been opposed to him at the time, and done all in his power to prevent such a verdict, for having established such an example. There never was a case, not excepting the case at the last Assizes, that called more powerfully for damages, to repair wrongs done to a respectable young lady. The plaintiff in this case was 30 years of age, respectable, well educated, well received in society, and highly esteemed by all who knew her. No one had ever heard of her or known her, except the author of her distress, who did not feel pleasure in doing justice to the excellence of her character. The most respectable friends had flocked round her to do her that justice now in the moment of her calamity. The defendant lived about half a mile from the plaintiff's. He was a man of considerable property, and was for his situation respectable. He had the half of an estate devolved upon him from an uncle, his father having the other half. He was an only son. His parents had only one other child, a daughter, the intimate friend and companion of the unfortunate plaintiff. He had made a promise of marriage to the plaintiff which he violated, but the injury was much deeper than that. He was extremely sorry to say, that she had fallen a prey to his seduction under the solemn promise of marriage. After a long intimacy and mutual pledges of affection, this unhappy young woman was too easily led to trust the faith of this young man, and in an unguarded moment, and in the warmth of passion, to surrender herself to his will. Then followed what too often happens. When those arts had succeeded which men too well know how to use towards women, he left her to wretchedness, despair, and loss of character. The plaintiff lived with her widowed mother, and had a fortune of £800. The attention and promises of the defendant had continued for seven or eight years. They were equal in age, in fortune, and in situation. Their friends on both sides had agreed. The Jury would find the conduct of their friends to have been necessarily founded on the conclusion that marriage was intended. The plaintiff's mother lived in Burton-in-Lonsdale. The sister of the defendant had married Mr. STACKHOUSE. The plaintiff had lived with her for some time after her marriage. They had been intimate for seven or eight years. She was at pains to preclude the supposition that any other person had any share in her affection. He was received by her friends as her intended husband; she, among his, as his intended wife. In course of last year an unfortunate meeting took place between them, when he took occasion to repeat his solemn promises. The Jury would find it in evidence that this intercourse had taken place only once. She was delivered of a child. During her pregnancy he was assiduous in his attentions; he bought her a ring, appointed the friend who was to give her away at the nuptials, and she was led to expect that reparation that could restore her to her former character. He came one day, and wanted her to sign a paper. She refused without consulting her friends. It appeared to her a paper to settle £100 [or £400?] upon herself and her child. She consulted Mr. DEWHURST, now her attorney, who was married to her aunt. It was since found that he had married another woman. Thus it ended. He had contrived to engage her affections, promised her marriage, been assiduous in his attentions, seduced her, and then abandoned her. He should now advert to a circumstance which had taken place before this action. When it appeared not only that the defendant was not willing, but that he was not able to perform his promise, it was anxiously inquired whether there was evidence of the promise, and it was found, as often happens, that what all the world understood and believed, it was difficult to prove. Therefore an action was intended in the mother's name at the York Assizes, but it was abandoned in consequence of the evidence of a gentleman who should be produced to them. Mr. James TATHAM lives in Burton-in-Lonsdale, uncle to plaintiff; has known her from her childhood: her father has been dead many years. He is well acquainted with the defendant. He and his niece have been intimately acquainted for six or seven years. The families were intimate. He lives with his father on a farm; his mother is lately dead. The family consists of the defendant and his sister, who was a companion of witness's niece. He saw the plaintiff and defendant often together. Their intimacy was approved by both families. Both parties are about 30. He has occupied the half of the farm for 15 years; his interest was derived from an uncle. He was received in her family as her suitor. Witness and all her friends expected a marriage. On the 20th of November last, the defendant walked home with witness from a town's meeting. He asked if witness would be the father, and give away his intended wife. Witness asked who she was. He said Sally SETTLE. Witness said he would with all his heart. After sitting a few minutes he said, "I am verry [sic] sorry you have prevented me from seeing my wife; you have kept me too long." The father and uncle had occupied the estate of which the defendant has now the half. It was worth £500 or £600 a-year. If sold, it might happen to be worth £20,000 independent of stock, which is worth £800. The defendant is married to another woman. The defendant, the very night he was at his house, offered to lend him £300. His niece was delivered in May. The defendant called upon witness since, and said that he would not have her. Witness asked his reason, and if he had any thing to say against her. He said he had not, and he should be very much affronted if any body else said any thing against her. Witness never in his life knew of any thing irregular or improper in the conduct of his niece up to this matter. She had no other suitor, she was well received in society. Her general character has been unimpeached up to the cause of this action. Mrs. Elizabeth TATHAM, wife of the preceding witness, has known Sarah SETTLE from a child. She and her mother have been in the habit of visiting in the respective families in the neighbourhood, among others the defendant's. The defendant's family visited at Mr. SETTLE's. His mother very often came to tea.—His sister (now Mrs. STACKHOUSE) was very intimate with the plaintiff. They used to be very much together. After his sister's marriage the plaintiff went to Giggleswick to visit her. Witness had occasion to see the plaintiff and defendant often together.—He was received at her house as her intended husband, and her mother's future son-in-law. She was so received at his friends' houses. They must have known and approved of the intended marriage. She remembered the defendant coming to their house on the 29th of November, and heard the conversation stated by the former witness. They were perfectly sober. The defendant came afterwards to let them know that he did not intend to marry her, and the conversation took place which her husband had mentioned. The plaintiff's character was good and prudent till this unfortunate affair. Robert HOUSTON, an innkeeper at Burton, has known the defendant ever since he came to his estate at Lombardhouse. He remembers his playing at cards with his wife. It was the night before Mr. BROUGHAM came into Kirkby Lonsdale, a Wednesday night. The defendant came in at half-past eight, and said to his wife, "Jenny, you hanged me the other night, but I'll play with you again at all fours." His wife went out to provide some supper. He said, observing the defendant melancholy, "Mr. CRUMBLEHOLME, what is to do?" He sighed and said, "I have got a letter from Mr. DEWHURST, and I must go down to settle it." Witness asked, "What?" He replied, "About Miss SETTLE." Witness said, "Why don't you marry and settle it all." He said, "No, he would go to Lancaster and settle it." Witness asked how much money they wanted. He said, £500. Witness said, that was a good deal; he said, "Yes, it was." Witness remarked again, it was little enough, considering the character of the girl. He said he would not give it, for he would make away his property to his sister, Mrs. STACKHOUSE. Witness said, "You'll soon be in Nell REDMAIR's," (the poor-house). He said, then he would give it to his father; witness said, his father might marry again. He then said, he would sell it all and go to America. Mr. WALLACE, uncle by marriage to the plaintiff, has known the plaintiff intimately for nine years. He is also intimately acquainted with the defendant. The parties and their families are particularly intimate. The defendant was received as the particular friend and suitor of Miss SETTLE. His intentions were known and approved by both families. His niece's character was very respectable indeed and unimpeached. The defendant's estate is excellent land, worth £4 per acre. It is 182 acres. There is an excellent house and out-buildings. It is worth £22,000 independent of the stock. The plaintiff's fortune is £800. It consists of money and the house and garden where the mother lives. It is worth £150. It is the plaintiff's property. He saw the defendant with Mr. DEWHURST at the last March assizes. (This was objected to as evidence, and refused). Mr. Thomas DEWHURST went to search the memorials enrolled at Wakefield of the West Riding. The memorial was put in and read. It contained the extent of the defendant's lands. The memorial was rejected as not evidence, since the defendant was not a party. Mr. Robert BRADLEY, attorney for the defendant, sworn—never saw the deed in his life. Mr. WALLACE recalled—heard the defendant say six years ago that he had half of the lands and the whole of the stock. The Rev. Mr. FOXCROFT has known plaintiff very well ever since he remembered— Mr. TOPPING objected to examination as to character, since no imputation had been cast upon her character in cross-examination. Mr. SCARLETT, urged the precedent established in the case of Miss ORFORD, tried before his Lordship at the last assizes, and contended that it was admissible on general grounds. Mr. TOPPING replied, that every party and every witness was of unblemished character till the contrary was attempted to be shown, and that no precedent had been established in the case of ORFORD and COLE. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said he could find no authority on the subject. With respect to witnesses, such evidence was not admissible. But here it was different, for it was of great importance to the party to show, that the character was such as made her worthy of marriage. I will make a note of the objection. You are aware of the risk you run, Mr. SCARLETT, by examining as to character. I have no doubt, however, on the subject. Mr. FOXCROFT was examined only as to her conduct, which he knew to be always correct. The family is respectable, and considered so in the neighbourhood. The Rev. Mr. POOLEY, Minister of Burton-in-Lonsdale, gave evidence to the same effect. Miss RIPPON, lives near Burton, and had been acquainted with the plaintiff for three years before this affair. She always supposed her a prudent, discreet young woman. She had met her about three times at witness's aunt's. She met her also at the plaintiff's aunt, Mrs. WALLACE's. Mrs. COOPER lives at Burton, and has lived there 18 years: she is sister of Governor ETHERINGTON. She knows the plaintiff and her mother well. They are received by all the respectable families in the neighbourhood. She never knew any thing but what was correct in Miss SETTLE's conduct. Mr. TOPPING addressed the Jury for the defendant. He felt great obligation to his learned friend for having expressed regret that he was not counsel for the plaintiff; but they, as impartial judges, were aware that the plaintiff was under no disadvantage from that want. Now there was a set-off as to compliments, at which he was always very bad; so much so that had they occasion to hear witnesses to his character, he would stand very low he feared. But his character, such as it was, he would now keep. It was too late to change it. His Learned Friend had introduced the cause tried at the last assizes. They were not the jury that tried it, and they had nothing more to do with it than with any other cause or verdict tried in any county in England. He remembered a very facetious gentleman on this circuit, 30 or 40 years ago (he wished it were not so long), Mr. FEARNLY, of whom another Gentleman, Jack LEE, whom every man knew, and all who knew loved, used to say that he was the proudest man of a clean shirt he ever knew. Mr. FEARNLY, on hearing two cases compared, said to the Judge, "Cases are no more like than faces," looking round him at the time. He now would make the same observation. All that they had to try was the breach of promise of marriage. It should be recollected that there was another action pending in York for seduction. Why did they come to Lancaster with the trial? Because Lancashire juries were famed for setting no bounds to damages, in all cases that had any tendency of this kind. While he said this, he gloried in being born in Lancashire. He would complain neither of their liberality, nor of their justice, whatever might be their verdict. The plaintiff and the defendant had been on terms of friendship from their infancy, and "friendship with woman is sister to love." There was no evidence of any promise at the time of the improper intercourse, except HOUSTON's, to which they could give no credit. There never was a case of the kind so meagre and barren. They should recollect, too, that she did the menial work of her mother's house. God forbid that he should deny to any class their right; but unless they wished for a confusion of rank and of character, which would soon bring about confusion of property, (an object in the view of many at this moment,) they could not fail to regard this circumstance. A learned judge was represented to have said, (he hoped he was libelled,) on occasion of an action against one of the Royal Family, that rank made no distinction in cases of this kind. He who could assent to such a position was fit for a lunatic asylum. In both parties the heydey of the blood was passed; and would the ladies forgive him, for asking if men were not often placed in situations which made their fall inevitable?—The Jury would regard the circumstances and the evidence, and not speeches, in the case. Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up the evidence. The only question for the Jury was, what was the proper compensation in damages in this case. The question required careful discrimination. The interests of society were influenced by verdicts in particular cases, and the more those interests were advanced by their verdict the better. He was sure they would agree with him that it was of the utmost importance how women conducted themselves. Their misconduct would diminish their claim in a Court of Justice; and if there was any blame on the part of the woman, there could be no foundation for aggravated damages. The action for seduction was entitled to go on, whatever might be the result of this action, and there the young woman could tell how she fell. The damages there belonged to the mother. This was the first action that he was aware of for breach of promise of marriage, where seduction had taken place, and the seduction might diminish if not annihilate the damages. Marriage was for life; respect for each other was essential to its happiness; if jealousy entered into the mind of the husband, it led to incalculable misery, and what more likely to excite jealousy than the knowledge than [sic] his wife had fallen when she was most likely to resist? One way of judging of this case was, by supposing it to be their own, and considering what they would do under similar circumstances. In youth, with all its warmth, men look for virtue in their wives, and virtue that will be permanent through life. If, then, a woman lose her virtue, whether with seduction or importunity on his part, a man must pause at least before he perform the promise he may have made. He ought not to abandon her; but make her his wife is a different thing.—They would consult the interests of the sex by showing, that if a woman yield to seduction, she does it at her peril, and cannot come into a Court with a man for not doing what he would have probably done if she had not fallen from her proper place. It was unnecessary to read the evidence. The plaintiff was entitled to complain, but her claims were reduced by what argued some blame on her part; otherwise, this would be indeed a very different case. The Jury, after a short consultation in the box, retired, and in a quarter of hour came back with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £700. Mr. TOPPING.—They might have had that without a trial; but they would have nothing less than £3000.
