Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 2001. COI/STOP COMMON PLEAS, JULY El. COOKE V. DEACON. This was an action for a.tailor's bill. The defendant pleaded that at the time the goods were fuinidied he was an infant, to which the plaintiff replied that the goods were necessaries. It appeared that tbe plaintiff was a tailor, carrying on business in Burr. street, East Smithfield, and had furnished the goods to the def ndant between the months of February and September, 182.5. Some of these clothes were proved' to have been stage dresses, which the. defendant (who, at the time in question, was about 19 years of age) had thought fit to order, for the purpose of indulging his fancy in private theatricals, at the Glocester Theatre, near the Kent-road: For the defence- it was proved, that the defendant's mother had married a person who was a member of a firm in the city, and who furnished the young man with clothes ; and. that during the same time in which the plaintiff's bill had been incurred, the! defendant's father-in-law had paid a bill of la for clothes for him. The father-in-law never knew that the young man wore any other clothes than those that were furnished by the tailor to the family; and, on one occa sion, when some of the plaintiff's goods were broughv pp his shop while he was in it, he asked what they were? and on being informed that they were clothes for his Ask he orderid them to be taken back, saying that hirsolit did not want them, and desiring the plaintiff's boy. tit his peril, never again to bring any things there. plaintiff, or the persons in his employment, and bior brother, had often seen the defendant at the Theatre ilk the clothes which the plaintiff had furnished. The Lo*w Qin/ JUSTICR told the Jury, that unlein they thought the young man had not been properlf supplied with clothes by hit father, they must give a verdict for the plaintiff. He observed that it would be well to teach there persons who lent themselves so wil lingly to the extravagance and dissipation of thought- less young men, and who, in fact, seduced them, by the facility of obtaining credit. into scandalous expenses of this kind, that they must not hope to do so with impu .nitr.—.TheJury returned a verdict for the defendant. WESTMINSTER ADJOURNED SESSIONS. Saturday, William Nelson, coachman to H.Broughatn, Esq. stood indicted for assaulting Ballard, one of the officers of Marlborough -street s while in the due execu tion of his duty. A second count charged hies with a common assault. Mr. C. PHILLIPS called Ballard, the prosecutor, who deposed, that in consequence of an irregularity in-the manner in which a line of carriages were approaching the Admiralty, on the occasion of the Duke of Clarence a rand entertainment on the 25th of June, he called to the defendant to stop his hones, and on his refusing to do so, he took hold of the horses' heads and stopped them ; the defendant called out " D—n you, I'll teach you to stop my horses," and immediately flogged witness severely over the head and shoulders. Wit ness left the horses' heads, and ran to the side of the carriage, and struck at the coachman with hit staff, and called to him to dismount, telling him that be should take hint into custody for the assault. The coachman denied that he had committed an assault, and the foot, man, who sat by him on the box, said, "he did not strike at you, he struck at the Horses" The coachman at last gave his Master's name, and was allowed to proceed with the carriage. The following day he ap peared at the office to complain against witness; but on witness stating to Mr. Conant that he had a counter charge to make, Mr. Conant put off the hearing till the next day, when the defendant again appeared ; but the case not being immediately brought on, he said he could not wait any longer, and went away. Witness afterwards got a warrant against him, and he was held to bail. William Collins, another police constable, confirmed the greater part of this statement. Plank, the chief officer of Marlborough-street, proved that the defendant, after being ordered to find bail, said he was sorry for what he had done; be had assaulted the officer, and was willing to apnlotlze, and make any compensation required. Witness told him that the officer would not be allowed to take any compensation, hat that he would speak to Mr. Dyer about the apology. Mr. Dyer subsequently consented to receive the apology ; but Mr. Brougham arriving in the interim, a different course ensued. Edmund Pepper, the gaoler at the office, give evidence as to the confession. The Hon. Mr. LAW, for the defendant, did dot deny; that the officer had been struck, but said he should call witnesses to prove that the blow was unintentional; the betchman's horses had been thrown back by the airs- hem with which they were checked, and it was iu whip ping them to make them spring up, that the officer bad been accidentally struck. Georg% Lovett, footasaa to Mr. Brougham, deposed that the blow was accidental, and was aimed at the horses. The complainant afterwards struck the defendant repeatedly, severe blows, and took his whip and broke it in two. Samuel White, another coaehmao, gave vitalise. evidence. The CHAIRMAN read over the whole of the evidence, and then left the question in the bands of the Jury, who, after deliberating for three quarters of an hour, found the defendant Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to pay a fine of IW.. to the King.
