    1. [MDX] GALLINI v PERROTT ( also BAYLEY ) (1814 )
    2. >From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, July 23, 1814; Issue 3196.  BERKSHIRE ASSIZES. GALLINI , Esq.  v.  Sir Edward PERROTT .  -  An action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife.  The parties were brothers-in-law, having married two daughters of the late Colonel BAYLEY of the West Middlesex Militia.  The plaintiff had several children by his wife, but in consequence of religious disputes ( he being a Roman Catholic and she a Protestant ) it was admitted that they had not lived happily together.  He had taken a house at Reading sometime in 1811, but had left it in March, 1812, leaving Mrs. GALLINI and Lady PERROTT together there, the latter having come on a visit to her sister.  In a fortnight afterwards Sir Edward PERROTT made his appearance.  During this time the intercourse, which was the foundation of the action, took place.  This intercourse was proved to be of that nature as, in the opinion of the Learned Judge, left no doubt of the act of adultery.  Verdict for plaintiff, damages 500 pounds.
