THE MUSEUM. F(om the Boston Gazette. V LAW INTELLIGENCE. Mary Fcller vs. D.v.vn> TvctCru. This was a suit brought before the Sii preroe Judicial Court, for a breach of triar riage contract, the damages being laid at js3ooo dollars. The action was tried on Tuesday last. The plaintiff lives at Stough ton, and the defendant at Canton in the county of Norfolk. The principal facts in evidence were as follows: Mary Fuller the plantiff, lived in the house of Elijah Atherton, in Stoughton, in the year 1819, and in,October there was a militia muster and a ball in the evening, where Tucker the defendant was introduced to her at his desire. —Being pleased with her he hand ed her to supper, and afterwards would have offered to accompany her home; but observed he should have considered it an ihsult upon so slight an acquaintance. The following Sunday, Tuctter, who lived three or four miles off, went to visit her at Mr. Atherton’s, having enquired about her, and ascertained the respectability of her char acter where he continued his attentions for three 01 four months, us often us onceaj fortnight. She afterwards went to her grandfathers Stephen Briggs of Stoughton. The employment of the plaintiff in the house of Mr. Atherton was to make straw bonnets-; she was aft'erwanls a domestic. In January 1820, Jarvis Glover the sister of Marv Fuller, who lived with them more than a year after they commen ced house.keeping, from January 1820, to April 1821. During this period, the de fendant visited her, carried her to h's fa ther’s and his sister’s houses and to a wed ding. She did not permit the attentions of any other young men. He spent evenings alone in he house aad remained In a late hour. Went, to frequent balls with her, and carried her to his uncles, saying it was a family visit, which he made once ayur. lie said to Mrs. Surah Dunbar, who live in Canton, whom he took in a chaise, in the summer of 1820 that she was married as he intended to be, that fall or the next.— She understood, he meant to be manied to the plaintiff, whom she had hemd he was addressing. _ _ . ... ... • . . i He observed to Polly Tucker at the Wedding of Charles Tucker, that lie tvas as much married as Charles was —the. cere mony only war wanting. The plain tiff had made preparations for housekeeping—had tl >tlu?4 made up, bed quilt, &c. The defendant's attentions now gradual ly couled. One Sunday after noun, he call ed at Mr. Glover's and heard that Mary had gune to the Univejrsalists meeting— Tucker then said to Mijs. Glover she might think it strange he had not called before; that he intended to have come the Sunday previous, but it stormed. On Thanksgiving evening of ISCO, the defen dant went to a party with young Atherton and Holbrook ; but never hud heen with any other person previously. At the last ball, Mr Kinsley was sent by the plain tiff, to sea if the defendant would call on her before he went away ; he saul he was going away early in the inoniiiig, and could Hot. Mary wanted Kinsley to wait upoi her home, who raid he would see Mr. H'ucker ard tell him. Kinsley however wynt with her and ske told him Tucker Iw.'H rfaid to her that lie would accompany her home before he had gone with another lady. i-Siio tub! the defendant that she went with Kinsley and would return witli him. Tilt? -eAriet produced upon Miry bv this doserlion oj l’ucker, was visible; “she gried :-v<>ry ri‘g’t,” •: lost her bloom” seemed td lic; in a decline,” and was evi dently very..unhappy, cast down an dejec ted. Mr. Elijah Athei tcKi, in may 183:1, t Iked wuih Tucker and askatl for and cx plauasiou of bis conducl. IF. seemed to decline an answer, but said he did mu like her going to the “ Universal Meethjg.” In tha previous Marc!) Mr. Jarvis Glover call ed u; nq the defendant, with a letler from the i’lawitilf, to know why he had left her : he would not converse much—said the goii)g was bad, tliu he had beer, hurried b it he would come soon. There never hail beeu any quarrel be tween Mrs. Giovceand the plaiutilf about i vy::.ing ur any thing else. There had! b'on some dispute about her now bonnet,! which Mr. French’* daughter had got and’ •oiled* T:ie defendant makes machinery—has property not precisely known. Ilis father died not long since. Ilis estate did not exceed 1000 dollars. He has twenty-six! dollars a month fur warps, besides his board. This was the evidence fur the plain lift', I and the points in defence were, Ist. thatj . there was no promise proved, and 2d, that | the habits and customs in the country, in s such case* were different front those of cities and that such intimacies as have beeu prov ed, me common and do not imply a prem ise of marriage : Jldiun A.’insley, Esq. said, . that young tnep would pay their addresses, 10 or 15 years before they would be mar ried, and sometimes they would not be married at all. He thoughf either party might break ofl’, if they could do better; he knew several such instances. Young wo nen of l6or 18 years would be tnoiti- Ued if they had not an attendant; but when £5 or SO they are more considerate. The dismissal a> often conies from the fe male, as the desertion from the mate. The 1 contract of -marriage is seldom rfduced 1 to writing except in letters. Eiijah Atherton testified that the young’ men visit <§* pass their evenings with young women i without beiog engaged ; but alter such attentions far a year two, it is not considered honoiable to leave the girls un less for somej-eason. Several witnesses were to testify so con versations willi the plaintiff Amity Mor ton swore that many had visited her in the spring of 1821, aid said they never had made any preparation for marriage. After the breaking off, witnesses said to Mary that if he had left her, she would riot care about it. Mary observed, she should not either, if she had as good a home as wit ness Eliza Taylor, heard Mr. Glover say, alter a party at Christmas in 1820, that Mary would go to the devil with N. Atliei ton, then she would lock him up. Wit ness, did not think the Plaintiff would be sorry to have Atherton, though Tucker had left her. Z. Capen, walking with Mary, heard her say,*he engagement she did not c&rcabout; but it was his having desertedher after having addressed her s long. She said she had nut a piece of patchwork, in the world and never had. Eleanor Glover, heard Mary say that there were other scamps in Canton as well as Tucker—that she would go to the Uni | versa list’s meetings as long as there were jany ; that she had granted him his dismis sal and was glad to get rid ol him so.— j Heard Mr. Giover say lie did not think !David (the defendant) would marry her, At wo months before he discontinued his vis its. Courtship often takes place without marriage. Every young man visits the girls. Other testimony was introduced with regard to the Plaintiffs visit to the Defendant’s father, and remaining some davs in consequence of a storm in Janua ry the roads being bad—anti also with le gard to defendants’s p.roperty. Churchill for the defence, considered the question, of the evidence necessary to produce the implication of a promise, and enlarged upon (he testimony in the case with ability. Webster for the Plaintiff confined himself to the same question, ami insisted upon the proof of the promise from concatenation of circumstances. He made a speech of great force and effect. The case was submitted to the Jury, and the next day th y returned a virdict for the Plaintiff—damages 750 dollars* Music. C|UST received “the Boston Handel and ky Haydn Society Collection of Church Music, being a selection of the most approved Psalm and Hymn tunes; togetherwi-h many beautiful extracts from the wovks Mozart, Beethoven, and other eminent composers, never before published in this country. The whole harmonized for three and four voices, with a fi gured bass from the organ and Piano Forte.” The above work was compiled and the Music harmonized by Mr. L. Mason, of this city. It contains all the fine tunes we. have been accus tomed to hear in ntir churches, and is calculated 1 to furnish ladies who play the Piano Forte, with ’ an extensive variety of Sacred Music t The following recommendation was written i by the late Mr. Abel, and is abundantly sufficient j to extol its merits; Having Critically examined the msmiseript co py of “The I.andd and ‘‘aydn Society Police -1 tion of Church Music,” l feel % pleasure in ssv >jmg that the selection of tunes is not onlyjmli- I ciouslv made, but (he parts are properly arrang ed—the Hass is correctly figured, and in no in s'ancc are the laws of counterpoint and thorough Bass violated, as is the case m most American Musical Publications. To all tlie lovers of sacred music, 1 cheerfully recommend it as a work in which taste, science • and judgment arc happily combined., , F. L. ABF.L. Savannah Professor of Music. The work is also highly recommended by G. K. Jackson. Mus. Docter, of boston. may 14 ,il l C. VJ. CHF.XK. i IVlnskey. iBiD HMDS'.
