This was a bill of discovery fired by Sir J. M'Gregor, heir and representative of the late Sir J. M'Gregor Murray, against the.Eastindia Company, their Chair man, and Secretary, under the following circumstances. The late Sir J. M. Murray had, it appeared, been of Considerable service to the Company in the year 1782, and his assistance in enabling them to effect the over throw of the native Princes who had combined against the. European Government in India, h.sd been roc ' g - need arid acknowledged in the fullest terms by Sir John M'Pherson. Under these circumstances, S:r John Murray had applied to the East India Company for compensation and remuneration for his services ; but, unfortunately, before a final adjustment had taken place, Sir J. M. Murray died. The present plaintiff, as heir at law, had commenced an action against the de fendants in the Court below, but found himself unable to proceed without those documents which it was the object et' the present bill of discovery to procure.. 'ln the Court below the defendants had severally pleaded the general issue and the statute of limitations; but in. the pleas which they had put in in Chancery, they only averred that they ha I pleaded the general issue. • The Vroz-Cnazczu.ort was of opinion, that the defendants ought also to have averred that tire . statute of limitations had been pleaded by them in the Court below, and ordered that the present pleas should be 'taken oft - the file, and the requisite amendment made.

LORD. .In this case Mr. WHITMARsH moved that the. de fendant should be committed to the, custody of the Marshal of the Fleet Prison, for contempt of Court, in having tensed to pay la. costs, which had been awarded against *him.

At present he must stand com mitted for contempt.

The parties in the action were relations; rasiditigiathe Cirproad, and joint occupiers of the same how. , There had been a dis pute between them.' . a plaintiff *tint to . ' move had attempted : to cart* away, a litope ; rad some other articles which the defendant claimed as his. property. A scuffle ensued, - and the defendant chi, mately sent for a Headborough to take' . the plaintiff into custody on a charge of felony. .When the ccststa_ble . came, the plaintiff consented to go with him to Wor ship-street. They went there accordingly; rind this was, the nature of the assault. . • Mr. SCARLET?, for the defendant, contended that ii i law no assault had been 'committed, Wean* the plaintiff went voluntarily to the Magietrates office. The plaintiff's Case was proved by three witnesses. The LORD Comm JUSTICE, in summing up the evi dence said, he differed. from Mr. Scarlett. His Opinion was, that the defendant had committed an assault, in case the Jury should think the charge was unfounded. The consent of the plaintiff to go with the officer could not qualify the detention of his person, if that detention. Was illegal. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Ons FortAin i t COCKNEY SIPORTINO....-PALIII ER V. SPARKS. This was an action to tecever dimages for an assault and false imprisonment. • • Mr. Gunszv stated that the plaintiff was 'an opera tive coachmaker. The defendant keeps the Chalk Farm Tea Gardens.

The boys were pursuing wounded sparrows which fell from the guns_ of these expert marksmen. — The plaintiff stopped a few minutes, when a sparrow: fell on the path near him. The boys ran to take it. but cdtld not get over' a hedge. The plaintiff said'he would get it for them, and was mounting the hedge for that purpose, whenthe defendint came up •witla a gun, called him a scoundrel,. and pushed the muzzle of the gun against his side. A scut le apd a constable coming up, the plaintiff .was . carried to the gardens, where he remained a short. time in custody, and was suffered to go away.: - This was 'the assault, and the Jury would no doubt give damages to prevent, in. future, any man (ram using a gun under similar circumstances. Mr. Gurney. califd witnesses to sue, his case. Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendant said, be should convince the Jury that:Mr. 'Spintes'had done nothing the lair/ would forbid. Prelims who had lately strewn their exploits in pigenti - shoeiting bad excited a spirit for the same sort of amusement in 'the more humble classes, namely sparrow sportsmen. Sparrow shooting matches had drawn such Immense crowds to Chalk Farm and ,the..neishbouthuod of that taverrOhat Mr. Spar kes"wils toMpelled to keep a Constable constantly in waiting. to prevent a breach of the :peace: Mr. Sparkes found the. plaintiff committing a trespass on his hedge, and warned. him off.
