A Court Case On Promises Of Marriage And Damages
A long courtroom narrative details Miss Foote and Colonel Berkeley as a defendant in a suit over a broken promise of marriage. The barristers argue conflicting motives, the plaintiff’s damages, and public interest in virtue, with the jury ultimately awarding damages. Letters and personal correspondence accompany the proceedings, including postscript notes from J Hayne and Miss Foote’s supporters.
