Tb/ action for breach of promise of mar- riage, which, says tbe London xt foulard, hM formed tbe chief attraction to the unoccupied at tbe royal courts of justice daring the past four day*, baa terminated aa such actions usually do. One might wonder, it-deed, that they are aver defended, except for the same reasons that some times cause tbe most timid of creatures to show light when driven into a corner. The plaintiff in actions for breach of pronaue is, in nine case* out of ten, a witness eminently calculated to make a favorable impression upon the British juryman. Tbe same attractive exterior which enabled her to ensnare the affections of the defendant in the first instance again doee her excellent service when allowed a wider range of operation in a court of justice. Without hurting any- body'* feelings, we may aay that the plaintiff in " Miller vs. Joy " WM endowed, notwithstanding bar age, witb a fall share of these elements of luces**. Go the other hand, the defendant in actions for breach of promise is generally something either of a knave or a fool, or, at any rate, is placed in snob a position that h* appears to be one or both. A* a rule, a man i* not mad* defendant in a breach of promise case unleM be hM been in some degree in fault a notable example m fiction not with standing. Of tb* defendant in " Millar v*. Joy " there can ba no harm in saying what his own counsel said that he bad, at any rate, been exceedingly foolish. If Ih* ver dial of the jury is to be taken M logically implying that the jury disbelieved bim whenever his evidence WM at variance witb that of th* plaintiff, h* was something more ; though it is by no means necessary to assume a* much M this. Nevertheless, even allowing for a preposaeasing plaintiff and a culpable defendant, 2,350 i* a vary ocuoiderable amount to award M dao.ages, and those person* wbo like to regard juries a* infallible will ba anxious to understand tbe motive* which induced so very decided a verdict. Tbe case took a long time to try. but the main facts wen simple enough. The plaintiff wa* a woman with a hittory. Ten or eleven yean ago ibs brought another action for breach of promise againit a very rich American gentleman, who had seduced her while she WM a sbopwomao at True- Alt'* and with whom >b* bad lived for four or five yean. The defendant in that action bad married two or three years before she sued bim, and she admitted that she bad reoeived bis visits, aod that be bad continued an allowance to her for some time after hia marriage. Th* action resulted iu her receiving a sum of 1,500, which wa* certainly not exorbitant, inasmucb as that defendant had onquei- tlonably betrayed bar, and waa tbe father of her child. All these fact* she admitted . bat in order to appreciate tbe motives of ths jury io awarding her now a much larger sum oat of the puek*t of Mr. Joy, her sub eqaent history must, of course, be con sidsred, and it is right to aay at once that no impropriety of conduct subaequent to her final rsparation from tbe American gentle- man was alleged agaiuit her. In 1875 she went to Bournemouth and started busiuea* M a milliner under the name of kf me. Revillton. The basins** did oot saooeed, aod so* left th* place for a time, morning some six yean afterward. Mr. Joy, ths defendant, ia s builder at ttouruemovtb.own ing a considerable amount of property there, but be swore in the witness box tbat it WM all mortgaged, aud thai his net income did not exceed f 5OO a year. Be i* 62 year* of *ge. with a large grown op family, aod hi* first wife, woo WM alive when Mrs. Miller lint visited Bournemouth, die 1 in January, 1862. In the spring of that; Serbia real acquaintance witb tha plaintiff flnt commenced. According to hia itatement, h* never walked with her or callnd upon her till June ; and two letter* from her of tbat data, inviting him to call upon b*r, ore promptness, in acting he mi^ht have been ISM ation, when he had escaped from the fasci- nation* of th* plaintiff'* presence aud the attractions of the metropolis, wa* that he determined to break loos* from the toils. Had be shewn more upon his roeolv* severely punished ; but even then he dallied with temptation, and a very imprudent visit to Mn. Miller ou a subsequent Son- day, when be *a>t talking to her u her bed- room, undoubtedly eet the current of tn opinion of tbe jury strongly agunet bim. It may at firet light seem singular that a man ahould be condemned to pay so large a sum for refusing to fulfil his engagement with a lady whom none of the jurymen, probably, would have regarded SB a suit- able wife for themselvea. It i* a some" what strange n ileetiou that the plaintiff oould scarcely have been a* arded a larger sum, even if her past history bad been ab- solutely free from stain. It wae certain tbat ahe was an experienced woman of the world, and tbat the defendant had been, . the counsel for the defence urged, like wax in her hand*. Tbe verdict of the jury mutt probably be regarded a* intimating their opinion that Mr Joy had not been influenced by tbe knowledge of her previous fall from virtue, and that tbe freeh publicity given to by this trial ought to increase the amount attends to them at their own of compensation which bis breach of promise entitled her. Then were many incident* in the case to which it i* impossi- ble for us to refer to, and tbat tbe defend- ant exhibited a good deal of stolid etupidity, to *ay tbe leant of it, in giving hi* eviaenoe, is uudoubttd. It ha often been luggeeted in jaat tbat breach of promise oaeee should ba tried by a jury of matrons. While we are not in any way disputing tbe justice of the verdict actually given, there oau belittle doubt tbat a jury of matron* in this case would not have awarded the plaintiff nearly a* much a* she ba* reoeived. Inasmuch M a atay of execution wa* Mked for by the defendant's counsel, and granted by the judge, we may aasume that an appli- cation will bo made to tbe divisional court to review tbe decision. No doubt the main ground will ba that the damagoa most bo regarded M excessive, since we fancy that every one who watched the case had arrived at the conclusion that the defendant would inevitably have to pay something for hi* folly. Whether bis folly WM properly ap praiaed at the sum of 2,850 u, of course, another question, on which it i* highly I robable that the but word has not yet been said. i iii-. % IM tn i i-t.ni-.> i .

It can hardly be doubted thai the fact of the plaintiff having voluntarily given this information to tb* Bourne mouth builder, before marrying bim, WM tha element in tha case which wsigb'd most heavily in her favor. On th* part of the* defendant it waa said tbat, after all, this WM bat making a virtue) of necessity ; tbat a woman with so notorious a history, recorded in tbe newspapers of tbe day, could not powibly hope to conceal her past, and tbat to tell her intended bus- band something of it wat the only course open to her.
