Two actions for criminal conversation, with the whole of the evidence : both tried before the Right Hon. Lord Kenyon, in the Court of King's-Bench, Westminster-Hall, on Wednesday, June 26, 1790 : the first between Henry Cecil, Esq., member of Parliament, and presumptive heir to the Earl of Exeter, plaintiff, and the Rev. William Sneyd, defendant, for cohabiting with Mrs. Cecil, in which the jury gave one thousand pounds damages. The second between Hooker Barttelot, Esq., plaintiff, and Samuel Hawker, Esq., defendant, for cohabiting with Mrs. Barttelot, in which the jury gave seven hundred pounds damages. Both these interesting trials were taken in short-hand, by a student of the Inner Temple.
