five years, and was suddenly brought toacloso
by tho plaintiff hearing of the defendant’s
marriage in a southern port. Some letters
were introduced and read to tho jury, from the
tenor of which a promise of marriage, or at
least a strong intention of so doing, wa* clear
ly made out. Tho defendant moved a nonsuit
on technical grounds, which was over-ruled,
and he proceeded to calf Mr. John D. Cox as
a witness. This was objected to, as he was
bail for tho defendant, and his testimony was
rejected. Having no other evidence the case
was given to tho jury, tinder the c harge of the
court, and they returned a verdict lot tho plain
tiff', for five thousand dollars.”
