An uncommon work, only 4 copies cited by Copac.From 1844 to 1846 Caunter (1792 1851) was Rector of Hailsham, Sussex. In 1845 a young woman, Elizabeth Taylor, brought an action against Caunter, alleging that he had promised to marry her within a certain time and had failed to do so. She claimed £3,000 in damages. Caunter had previously paid for her education for some years. The counsel for the defendant stated the action had arisen from a "serious misunderstanding" between the parties. On the arrangement that the case be kept out of the papers, a verdict was taken by consent for £750 plus £177 in costs. Newspaper reports appeared regardless.

He explained that he had paid most of the damages he had been required to pay Elizabeth Taylor; his income had since suffered due to the publicity about the case.
