THE BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. ‘Yesterday, before Chief Justice Cartter, in ‘the Clreuit Court, the case of Oliver agt. Cam- eron—the action brought by Mrs. M. 8. Oliver t. Hon. Simon Cameron for breach of promise Tarriage, alleged to have been made on the ith of December, 15875, for which $50,000 dam- 8gcs are claimed. was continued after ur repost closed— Messrs.

He required that all of his letters should be returned. and he wrote on one side o| 4 page and she would send the letter back with the answer upon the other.

There were tm- proper privileges taken with her by Mr. C. eron during the existence of the engagement. Gen, Butler said that they were not sued for that. ‘The plaintiff's counsel argued at some length to sbow that seduction uader promise of mar- riage Went towards aggrevating the cause of damages ard was admissable, THE LETTER IN THE CASE. None of the three letters trom Mr. Cameron preduced on trial have been read. The first is one asking Mr. Bristow to give Mrs. Oliver an office. e second tells her when he comes to Washington she will leave relations and become his wife. Both of these have been often pub- shed. The third 1s 8 new one, as follows: “My DgaR Mrs. Otvgr: I send you a letter to Mr. Bristow, in accordance with your re- quest.

"8. 0.” The authenticity of the first letter is admit- ted, but the others are sald by the defendant to be spurious. SECOND DAY. ‘To-day as early as 94 o'clock am. the space ‘Within the bar of the Circuit Court was deasely packed with spectators, and from the number the bar present it seemed that there must have been but little legal business in progress elsewhere. It was remarked that a fair proportion of the spectators were bald men or gray haired. ‘here wasa number of Jadies also ae ‘The counsel on both sides were oy In their places, but Mrs. Oliver and her friend, Miss Chariton, were In before them. The jurors were in their places when the court convened. Mrs. Oliver seemed to be totally oblivious of the atieation paid her as the principal actor in this suit. The plaintiff submitted a few addi- tonal authorities as to the admissibility of evi- dence as to seduction—which offence is not charged in the declaration. WHAT GEN. BUTLER SAYS. General Butler said that the offer was impor- tant not only to the defendant, but to the plata. Uff, and in the course of his remarks said that they had heve the widow, of atleast one hus- band, (they intended to show that she was the widow of two or three more before they got through) gotng to the rooms of an old mis— and the plaintiff was no chicken—and she does not, in her declaration, charge seduction. Perhapsshe has been paid for that; who knows? She charges a breach of promise, and that alone, and does not charge anything else. Now they say under this charge seduction can be proved. Gen. Butler clati that they could only prove the breach of promise. After quoting from ® number of authorities tie court inti- mated that he would like to hear authorities on @ certain it. Gen. Butler remarked: “For- tunately, of cases ate not as plentiful as biackt ; tie race of suetng Plaintiffs die out for want of production.” He hoped that the court would interpose and pre- vent them from entering into any detatls out- side of the declaration. Mr. Darneille and Mr. Peter, at the suggestion of the court, submitted some additional author- ities. Gen. Butler concluded, quoting some ad- id he did not wish ditional authorities, and that this branch of tue subject should be opened, for they would be compelied to offer ce as to pillows and taking advantage of P] Ices. ‘he court said this was a double barrelled p ition. The tender is to show seduction toshow the existence of a marriage con- tract. The court said that they might open this sewer, but as little as they could.” None of them wished to hear it. MRS. OLIVER RESUMED THE STAND at 11:45 o'clock, and testified that she relled on the promises of Mr. Cameron; whea Mis. Mu- Veigh stopped at the St. James Hotel 1a the winter, and Mr. Cameron sent for her to com to his room at the Con: nal Hotel, and she pil there, waren he ocked the Foor; that he on staying re, and he insisted that she should nme el Bide his wishes; he said that it was no crime; in the sight of God it was nocrime.
