Breach of Promise of Marriage Trial at Surrey
In a Surrey court, Mr John Shawe sues Mrs Shawe Baker widow for breach of promise. The case outlines that Baker promised marriage after Shawe quit his clerkship at Messrs Gof and Benwell, with a proposed settlement, but later refused. The jury hears of prior banns, a signed marriage settlement, stock transfers, and punitive damages claimed for pecuniary and non pecuniary loss. The proceedings center on whether a damages award should cover special damages or rely on general contract principles.
