COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUMDHALL, Dec. 5. _ _ -- - - Mttinp at Nisi Prim, in London, after Michaelson Term, before Lord Tasontamus and Commoa Juries. HARWOOD V. LIISUAK. - - - This was one of those paltry assault cases which occupy so much of the •aluable time of this Court, and end in -verdicts with a shilling, or a farthing damages. The 'defendant, in this case, had struck the plaintiff in the ' face after the latter had called him a scoundrel. Lord Tangshan suggested that a shilling would amply compensate the plaintiff for such an assault. • The Jury were of the same opinion, and returned a verdict accordingly. • Tetuan V. LORD TURNOUR. This was an action by a tailor, to recover the balance of his bill-for liveries furnished to the defendant's ser vant. The amount of the plaintiff's bill was originally 431. 16s. 6J. A person who had called on the defendant for payment stated, that the defendant bad paid him on ' one occasion SOs. and expressed bis regret that he could • not pay more at that time. He afterwards made a fur ther payment of 201. and the balance now due was • 411.65. 6d.—There was no defence.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 411.65. 6d. ASHLEY V. HUGHES AND OTHERS. This was an action by the assignee of an insolvent debtor, named John Knott, to recover the value of cer tain household goods, alleged to have been illegally seized by the defendants, under a distress for rent. ' The case proved for the plaintiff was this:in March, 1827, Knott became the tenant of the defendant Hughes of a house in George-street, Minotiei; at the• rent of fifty pounds per annum; Knott took possession at Lady Day, 1827, and paid the first quarter's rent ;but having subsequently fallen into pecvniary difficulties, some ar rears became due; in discharge of the half year's rent to Christmas,lB27, he paid 171. leaving an arreat of 81.. Having subsequently gone to prison, Hughes put a dis tress into his house for 251. the amount of the half year - up to Christmas, making no deduction 'of the'l7l. previously 'paid on account. Under the distress, the , whole f Knott's goods were sold, having been appraised at only 291. though their teal value. was supposed to be between 561. and 6W. It was now contended that the diitress was altogether illegal,inasmuch assn the agree ment fnr letting the house there was no reservation as to payment of the rent, and there( .re none s'as de= swindable until Lady-day,lB2B. Lord Tenterden, how- ever, held that as the fist 'quarter had been paid at Midsummer, it might be pteiumecrthit the remainder was to be paid quarterly. The'plaintiff's Counsel (Mr. Brodrick) then submitted, that as there was only an arrear of 81. due at the time the distress was pot in for • 251. the plaintiff was entitled to recover the difference between the 81. and the actual value of theloods. Mr. BROUGHAM addressed the Jury for the defen dants, and called 'a witness *hit - proved that in Feb. 1827, a short time befote the distress was made, he, by deAte of Hughes, called on Knott with a 'receipt fur 25/. the amount of the half year's rent due at Christmas, and that Knott did not at that time deny that the rent was due, but stated that he was' not prepared to pay it, nnless'the witness would take a bill of exchange which he had got, for a larger amount, and pir, him the dif ference.—The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. WIZARD V. Wind& This was an action by a lodging house keeper at. Lincoln, against a sporting Gentleman, to recover 541. 12 . for 26 weeks lodging at the plaintiff's house, at two guineas per week. The plaintiff's case was proved by the plaintiff's daughter, who 'was cross-examined by Sir Jams Scarlet', fir the defendant, with A view to show that the itidgings Sea' occupied jointly' by the defendant antra Gentleman of the name - of Melville, and that only a guinea or a guinea and a half a week - was to be' paid-breach of them. it appeared thar the two Gentlemen had each a bed room, but they uccupied the same sitting room ; and 'it was contended for the ,defendatit that the chstge of two guineas a seek to each cf them was ucte .sonable. Mr. Melville, as well as the defendant, had . objected to pay it, but he having "' since died; the plaintiff had leccived the - amount of his "demand from his executor. The Jury, atter a few minutes consideration, found f 4 the plaintiff foe thefull amount of his claim. COURT OF COMMON 'PLEAS, DEC. 3. • • DARBY V. SANDIER. This was an action by the plaintiff, who was a shop. -woman to tters defendant, in the Burlington Aieade, to - recover damages for imprisonment in swatch house on a charge of robbery.. It appeared that the plaintiff had been taken before a Magistrate and discharged ; but the evidence brought forward this morning by the defendant to prove that a rubbery had been committed (though not by the plaintiff) was such, that the Counsel for the plaintiff sibmitted to a nonsuit. MEDIA IRRSON V. LADY GRE , LRY. This was an action brought against Ludy Gresley to recover 721: thramotrat of 'the ttlaimiff Claim' against her for variouiarticles of gfoCery supplied. The Case was diciactly proved, and as the defendant's Counsel nothing to say in the cost 'except to que-tion the 4 "weracity of the plaintiff's witnessti, a verdiCt Was ie• turned for the full amount of the claim. NOSH t 4. LADY G k RAL EY. This was an action bought against the same defen l dant by her washertiosnan, to recover the arnOunt of 'her bill for ten months wa.thing. It was proved by one of the defendant's servants that washing to the amount of between La and 3W. had been done by the plaintiff fin the defendant, but as the Counsel (or th• tatter did not pr,iduce a book in Wfiich the precise amouht of the • claim w as entered, ant which was in the hands of Lady (ire ley, the exact amount of the plaintiff's rightful claim could cot be aecertaincd: The defendant's Canoed blade a few observations by way of defence, but did not pretend to lessen the amount' of the claims The LORD Cntar Justice, in leaving the case to the Jury, observed, that he should never cease to think that persons in the rank of life in which the defendant moved at all times disgraced themselves in appearing by Counsel to defend such actions as these, unless they were able to make out a much better detente than the defendant had done in the two cases which had just, occupied the attention of the Court. It.had been :trued by one of the witnesses that theism charges for the work done most base amounted to . between 201. and SOL and he should have recommended the Jury in this, as in al most every other case, to give their verdict for the smaller sum only. In this case, however, he should not give that recommendation, because the defendant had 'the means of reducing the amount of the claim, if it were unjust, by producing the book in which the s► hole account was entered. The .Jury would the, cline live, such a•sum between the two amounts mentioned as they should think fair and proper. The Jury, after having consulted fot a short time, re: turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 281, 10s. • LONDON SESSIONS, Dn. S. . These Sessions sere held before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, Aldermen SirJAilltS SHAW, Sir CLAUptt3 HUNTER, and WAITHWAN. Israel Isaacs, a dealer in old clothes, was indicted for assaulting and obstructing James Roberts and Henry Lovell, two constables belonging to the City, in the dis charge of their duty. The COMMON SERGEANT stated that this was a pro- 1 secution instituter' by the Corporation. There had lately been a sort of rag-fair established in Cutler street, which the Common Council of the Ward determined to put a stop to, and notice was given to the defendant and all his tribe, that if they persisted they would be prosecuted. Handbills were also posted in the neigh. bourhood; but all these notices proved of no avail, and the City officers received orders to take any one offend ing into custody. On the 30 hof November the com plainants went to Cutler-street, s here they found a great number of Jews assemblei, and the defend ant in the act of selling an old pair of breeches. They told him be was acting in disobedience to the orders of the City, and they must take him into custody ; upon which he commenced his abuse, and finished by striking and kicking them in a most violent matrer, in which he was encouraged by at least 100 of his own fraternity. A dreadful scuffle ensued, but at last the defendant was taken into custody. R beets and Lovell, the officers, proved the above facts. They said, that Cutler street was now becoming a formidable rival to Rosemary lane; it was a complete nuisance to the neighbourhood. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and begged pardon for the offence, but at the same time be was nct aware that he was breaking the law. The Jury found Lim Guilty. The RECORDER, on passing sentence, dwelt on the determination of the City to put down the abominable nuisance. The sentence of the Court was, that the pri sync be confined in the Giltspur street Compter for, two months, and kept to hard labour. take Freeman was indicted for assaulting William Smith, Esq. of Dowgatehill, on the 29th of April. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, this was a mr.st wanton assault. The defendant was .a practising attorney, and he be lieved, in general, a well-conducted young man but on this occasion he had given way to a violent fit of pasjon, and broken the law. The prosecutor was passing 'down Queen-street, Cheapside, with his set vans, in a chaise, when they were obstructed by a waggon. Just at this time the defendant came up ow hosseback, and tried to pass them, when the prosedsiter sold bim it was impossible ; upon which he flew infts a Violent passion, and after abusing him with a volley of oaths, began beating him with an ash stick over his head. Upon the prosecutor demanding his name, he was only an swered by further acts of abuse. Not knowing the address of the defendant was the cause of the delay taking place since the assault was committed. Mr. Smith and his servant proved the assault. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jut, for the defendant. He said it was the impatience of the prosecutor to pass the waggon that gave r ise to this assault if assault it could be called. The defendant was a most re-pectable man ; but Mr. Smith striking his horse irritated -trim, and, perhaps, be bad acted not exactly correct, although no one could charge him with committing a wanton or violent assault; it was not such persons as the young Gentleman who now stood before them that caused the obstructions so much complained' of in the streets of London. He trusted the Jury' would acquit him. The Jury consulted for some time, and then found the defendant Guilty. The ltscoanza told the defendant he had acted in a Most unkistifiable manner, but as it might be under feel ings of irritation, the sentence of the Court was, that he_ pay to the King a fine of 201. The defendant immediately drew a cheque for the amount, and left the Court. SURREY SESSIONS, DEC. S. Join Privll was indict eel for stealing then Bank of England notes, the property of•Jub Woodman, on the sth - of November. Mr. JPIIIIITT addressed the Jury for the prosecu tion, and begged their particular attention to the cir cumstances of this felony, which was effected by means of a si ries of ingenious devices. The prosecutor, Mr. Woodman, a Hertfordshire Gentleman, saw an &deer., tisement in 1 Morning Paper, of the fourth of No vember last, offering three valuable horses for sale, one of which was called Solicitor. In consequence of this the prosecutor came to town, and went to the prisoner's stables. in Pearl-row, St. George's. fields. The prisoner was there, and ordered the bone to be brought out and shown to the prosecutor. The latter wished a saddle to be put on it, that it might be tried. The prisoner asked his man fcr a %addle, and affected to be in a great rage when told there was not one io the stable; Mr. Woodman Men asked him to let the man mount him without a saddle. but the Prisoner slid it was a couraged horse, and' ould not be ridden without. At length an old saddle was brought; but the girths did not fit, and the prisoner promised to procure one in half an hour, and let the horse be tried." Accordingly a saddle was got by that time, and the man got upon the horse, but was only allowed to walk it up . and down. Tne prisonei asked-I 601. fur the'horse, but 'the prosecutor not choosink to purchase it without 'a trial, • agreed to advance soc by , way of deposit for that purpose. As soon as the prisoner got the money', he pretended to go for a whip for the prosecutor, but never returned. Mr. Woodman :non discovered the horse to be a roarer, and unfit for Die. He returned to the stable., but never could meet. with Pywell again. He mentioned the circumstance to a Mr. Sanders, who went to l' well's stables, and , was there offered this very horse fur sale again ; but when he told the man he wanted to see Pywell atkut this affair, some excuse was made, sad Pywell was nor to be foetid. The gut:lion for the Jury to consider would be, : whirther the • prisonerhact a-previous deter minition to get possession of the prosecUter's money. and when he got it to keep it? if Chef thought so, !hal o w od Oe m ld an b s e a m id ad h e e o l u iv t e . at Wckmersworth, cas s e i o r. f j f o e b lon ver y in Hertfordshire, and on the 4th November saw an ad vertisement in the Tinges for the sale of three horses, the property of a Gentleman, wish a reference to the pri soner's stable, in Pearl-row, St. George% Fields; went there, and saw the prisoner; asked to see the three horses advertised the one he wished to have was called ; he asked for a saddle, on which Pywell asked his man for one ; the man said he tad ledt it to his brother; Pywell fell int) a rage about i , , and asked if there was no saddle at all ; the man brought an old one; asked him to let the man ride the horse ; Pywell said he was a high couraged horse. and he could only be walked; the man then walked the horse up and down; witness said he could not thin kof purchasing without a f.-vr days trial. It was agreed by Pywell to give ten days' trial, and he said, if witness would come again at one o'clock, he would then get a saddle. Witness returned at one, and wished to be allowed to ride the horse, because he would not take him ins the country if he did not like him. Py well refused. unless witness deposited a sum of money, because he said he once lost a horse by allowing a Gen. tleman to ride him. He, said he would rather witness would not have it, if at all supicious, for be had an. other Gentleman coming to buy it. Witness then put 601. in Bank notes into his' hands, and mounting the horse he asked Pywell for a stick. The latter said,"Oh, I'll get you a'whip," and went away, pretending to get one, but never returned. Wrtne,s went out into the street on the horse. and immediately found him a des perate roarer, and such a one as he would not have on any account. He went to Pywell's house, 'but could never find him again ; he left the horse at the stables. Cross examined by Mr. Tinsman—Was a brewer, and kept several horses—pisked this one out as one of the three that was advertised—prisoner warranted it sound, and promised to return the money in half an hour if he did not like the horse—prisoner freely con sented to let hi.n have the horse on trial, and gave him a receipt for the money, with a warranty of soundness. The indorsement on it " to be returned in ten days," was written by witness. J. Sanders went to the prisoner's stables on the sth of November— Pywell was not there, but saw his man. Mr. THESSINER objected to Mr. Sanders's evidence, as the prisoner was not present. The CHAIRMAN allowed the objection. This bei ,g the whole of the evidence against the pri soner, Mr. THES.IGER submitted that there was nothing to go to she Jury. ' Mr. Jarass err conten fed that he had made out a good case against the prisoner. He had promised to teturn the money in half an hour if the 'prosecutor did not like the horse, but immediately that he got the - money he disappeared. The CHAIRMAN thought it a ease of contract—the prosecutor had possession of the horse, and might have rode away with it if he plea•ed. Verdict—A ot Guilty. THE FORTY THIZVES.MIII Shia, a lad 16 years ' of age, was found Gay of stealing a Bible, shawl, &c. the property of Thomas Joseph. his stepfather. The CHAIRMAN expres,ed his hope that the prose. cutor was not adopting this measure to get rid of his wife's son. The prosecutor assured the Court that he was corn pelled to prosecute, the priboner having several times robbed him. _ _ The officer said the prisoner had been several times in custody before. He was one okthe gang of youthful depredators called " the forty thieve , : Mr. Walter, the Governor of the Gaol. corroborated this fact by adding that the prisoner had got the well knnwn marks on hrs band. The CHAIRMAN asked what the marks were, and on examining the prisoner's hand there were found several picks on his left hand, the usual sign by which the gang was known. The CHAIRMAN, with a view of breaking up this desperate gang by sending them out of the country whenever there was-an opportunity, sentenced him to seven years trancpotiation. George Brawn was - andicted for stealing a silver watch the property of Martha Brown. The prosecot ix, an old woman who lodged at No.l, Carlisle.street, Lambeth, stated that on the 3d of Nov. she had some females to visit her, and saw them part of their way home in the evening, and on the way she was taken ill ; the prisoner offereJ to assist her home, and she accepted of his offer, at the same time promit fog him a shilling for his ti Gable. When she reached her lodging she got a light, but the prisoner blew it out; she lighted the candle again, and then missed a silver watch which she bad seen buts minute before. She was certain the prisoner had taken it, and she seized him by the collar and called for assistance. He stopped - her breath and threw her down, where she lay until some person came. Other persons proved that upon entering the prose corrix's room, they seized the pris ner, who endeavoured to make his . escape; and on searching him the watch was found in one of his boots.
