THE -- . , Place, means would be tinind to procure Idni.somc mane bait was irresistible. to poor Matthew, who agreed for the sum of ten gilineas to an union with the accomplished Aim Place, which was accordingly soiemnized with all convenient diApatch, within about three weeks of its first suggestion. The money was paid to Matthew by the Overseers; bat in order to have smile colourable pretext for the payment of this money, a formal indoiture was drawn np, by Which old Matthew covenanted Ph perform a certain quantity or hedging, diiching, and droning, fur Wm. Shaker, the atanding Overseer of thee township of Denton. This contract, which was couched in as formal terms as if it had been the conveyance of an estate, was read by Mr. Topping, and excited great merriment in the Court. Mr. Topping said he should be obliged to go into the enemy's qil,erters tor evidence, and should first produce oil Nlatttiew, whose evidence lie should corroborate by that of Alai his wife; and when he fiat proved that all the De fendants had interfered in bringing about this scandalous marriage, they %maid feel it their duty to find the Defendants guilty. It did not appear, how e‘er, iu evidenee, that the parish of had been put to any extra expellee since the marriage, on account of the woman, and the Jury acquitted the Detendants. The Judge then said, the °fictive imputed to the Defendants was a very heinous one, and one punishable by the law. It was ex tremely wrong in Overseers, or others, endeavouring to. bring about an union between persons, who, neither by circumstahees nor inclination were fitted for cad, other, for the impose of re hiving their own townships trout expense, and more especially when it was to be effected by burthening another township. . at the door of her then residence in .4Within a few days afterward (about the 28th of Sept.) the farce of baptizing the said child, by the name of Edward Garratt Deasy, av performed in the same howe, as proved by a certificate the Latin language,' exhibited in Court, in the hand-writing of the Apotstolie Vicar of the Catholic Church in this city, who was most piously instructed to premise that this child, being the offspring of Timothy and Anna Maria Deasy, was born upon a day, and at an hour several days previous to the actual birth. During this time the plaintiff was lett in total ignorance of the fate of her chil.!, until November follawing; when, by unwearied exertions, she found him in the possession of Mrs. Deasy, then living at No. 16, King-square, 'who, after the plaintiff's repeated impor tanities, permitteti. • joy the object of her solicitude, as an inmate with thefami y, ter anent two months, until the de fendant and his wife pretended an urgent visit to Herefordshire, when the plaintiff returned to her former lodgings in Denmark-street. After varions doubling* and turnings by this couple with their heir of hownirable adoption, in Gloucestershire,. Herefordshire, Bath, and places too unmerons to record—with the dodging slows sion of servants hired and discharged out of sight of each other, even upon the King's highway,—they returned to Bristol, believing perhaps that they had now totally baffled all endeavours to identity the child as any other than their own, in the spring of 1810. The • ill-fated plaintiff, in the following December, was delivered of a second child. On the 6th of that month (December, 1810) the de...• tending, and his ever-ready fi kind, called together upon her, then, • at lodgings in Upper Madlin-lane, and urged her to the absolute disposal of the child named Edward Garrett Deasy ; offering her • an annuity of .501. per annum, upon condition that she„would aban don the sight or of that her first child, tiir ever. This attrcement, after much hesitation by tbf pl a intiff, was at length agreed upon, and witnessed by the agent afinded to. Ac- . cordingly an annuity to the beterenamed ailment was secured npon the bond of the defendato to the plaintiff; thr the nno-payment of ► the instalments stipulated wherein, due since.

On the following day, the plaintiff was reqUired to execute an agreement, never to divulge or make litowit any of the circumstances respecting her said child, nor to approach • near the residence of the defendant or his family ; npon an alleged violation of which , agreement, the defendant rested his - opposition to the obligations of the bond. One witness for the defendant proved, that ins conversation about the middle of ti!l‘2, the plaintiff, after engitiring for the re sidence of the defendant and his wife, observed, " they have - broken their obligation to me, or . 1 would never have been hostile to them."

TtmoTitY I) EASY, PSQ.—This case had pre viously excited the most lively inteitst among *the residents of Bristol and the neighl:oarhood of Bath, as well as of the enmity of Cork ; the former having been the sc.lie of action, and the latter the vicinity of an estate, (at nate) value between and per animu s the inheritance of which was collaterally invol‘ed in the clue:awn now decided. Abiutt twenty-three years since. upon an occasion of the marriage of tilt! defendant with Anna Maria Barry, the estate alluded to was settled upon the defendant by his father, giving him a life-interest. with remainder to his issue male or in default of such issue, then to his younger brother, Mr. Rielard Deasy. Nineteen years had elapsed without the birth of an heir to the defendant, when about four years since, the brothers having had a verbal altercation, the defendant and Ids wife quitted Ireland, and came to reside in Bris tol. At this period the conspiracy appears that to have been con ceived ; the earliest pnbiie intimation of which was thus given in the Loudon print called The Star, in September, 1809 : 6 . Bumf. At Bristol, the lad y of Timothy Deasy, Esq. of a 0n. ,, This. as was doubtless intended, reached the observation of Mr. Rickard Deasy; but he was with dal - lenity indneed to beiies , .. that a brother's pr4judice could plOevail so far as to give any Inundation in tact, to the muneroes doubts expressed by mutual friends, whether Mrs. Timothy Deasy leel been previously pregnant or not. A considerable period thinscd before any eine could be obtained for the removal or establishment of theAe doubts. In the course of empriries, however, the house where Mrs. Timothy Deasy was said &t, have lain in, (No. ‘2, Ceirence-place, Kingsdown) was ;Ism - - ta.7ked, at.d this led to a further disclosure, through nurses and other servin:t2 l of the following facts :-- The ur.tortimate plaietiff was compelled to quit e respectable state of seriitude, in consequence 4if having been reduced by a fel low-servant ; which being followed by pregnancy, she took a lodging in Lower Bet kley-place, where it appears she was first discovered by a medical :44 ntlemair, arid by him imodured to the wife ot the defendant. Ileie, acted ripsu ny the " all powerful influence of a rich man's purse," the plaintiff was prevailed upon to part from her expected off-pring, should it prove a male (hild. On the 9th Of September. Ilia), this pint of the compact was favoured by deliscry of a boy, with the professional assistance of a gentle. man resident at Clifton. Oil the following mortairg (Sumlay, the loth of Septetnber) about ten o'clock, her child was removed, by a nurse . already in waiting, to a retired spot about three miles On the Gl ouces tershire ride of this city, milled Crew's Hole, where it was permitted to remain about a fortnight. From the care of this nurse with the assistance of a Mrs. Arberry. of Vest-street.) the chikl was transferred, at the 73wasi bee St. Maryport-street, to that of another nurse, who, without seeing the former muse, receivud it in a hackney-coach.
