These supposed arta of luttaei were explained in this was day or two before die td of Jame, the plaintiff and a votitg. friend of his had.been trying a pistol in the garden of his house, by Bring at a mark, the toter intending to buy the pistol ; a considerable time before the td of June, the plaintiff, who had been a constant attendant at tl:r Jetts' Chapel in Bethnal-green. happened to to pre sent one Snriday when some books fell from an emi nence upon the heads of the congreg (lion, which pr,.

It was suggested as a motive fur the defendant's conduct, that he bed It n; himself to err taio alleged sinister views, which the plaintiff's uncle IsAlowards his nephew's property ; but there was nu (ifFapriMf upon this part of the vale. The wit nesses railed in support of the plaintiff's case were, Mr. T. N. Williams, Or. Pett, a physician, Mr. Wilde boar, a surgeon, Mr. R. Wolsey, Mr. Edward Boucher, !dr.

Mr. DENMAN addiesseil the jury col 1,e11,1f of t h e defendant in an able and eloquent speech, and called the follJwing witnesses: — Joseph Dennis, half uncle to the plaintiff, staled, that he was employed by the latter to collect his rents. The plaintiff was ill in May, 11019. He was - strapped down to the bed. He asked witness how he was, and lie answered very well. That was all that passed. Iti October of that year the plointiff and his mother went to Margate, and stopped about three weeks. His mo ther died on the 13th November, in the same year. In 'March of this year witness went to plaintiff's house on business. Charlotte Orton, the servant, was pre sent. The yid was throning some cinders on the tire, whit it the plaintiff put some powder into a fowl ing-piece, and tired it at her. There might have been shot in it, bat lie did not knots- that there was. It frightemtll him and the girl. Ile had occasion t o go to the plaintiff every week, of a Monday, to cam hi s money.

This was either . on a Wednesday or l'oeular, about the beginning of 31.ty, or it might he about the middle.

This was an action of trespass fur breaking and entering the plaintiff") )!welling-bobse on the id of Jane last, in the parish of St. Matthew, itethnal-green_, assaulting, and falsely imprisoning Isis person fur spare of tierce days. The defendant pleaded a jnstilication, that the plaintiff, at the period in question. was a lunatic, and unfit to have the management of his own affairs. Theplain ilrs cuestas conducted by the SOLICITOR- GiSlltaAl., Mr. beAnI.CTr, Mr. lit RNET, and Mr. l'Astream. ; and the defendant's by Mr. DFNMAN and Mr. Pow ELL. The &tut rrott-BENE2AL opened the plaintiff's case with his usual ability. 'The case proved on the part of the plaintiff was in sulsstance this :—The plaintiff was a yuitiof gentle man brought up to tfie'pntresseriliiir fh - r• Law, in the office of Alr. Thomas Nathaniel IVilliatus. a respecta ble solicitor, and one of the attorneys of the Lori lla, Cittlft. who, In consideiation of the plaintiff's faith Cut %Pr% jell and .ability, articled hint «Won't a . 4reminin, and, after the expiration of articles, ad mitted him to a full partnership in the Chancery and Common Law departments of his isfire. In 31 ay, 1...‘ I 9, the pleintiff, iu eimsequenee of dose application i:s 'nosiness, was afflicted with a nervons lever, which ultimately terminated in lunacy. which bereft him of sanity for 34•Vrt el weeks, during which lie was attend ed by a meolteal professor. named Salmon, now de ceased, sad taken care of by t•co keel era, servants sit the defendant, who keeps a liceo4rll lunatic asylum at Bethnal-green.

His mental faculties seemed to be perfect ly restored, ansl he applied with great assiduity to the winding up the accounts between himself and Isis part ner. Shortly after the dissolution of the partnership, lie acquired considerable property by the (Iraqi of a brother ; and, on the decease of his mother, at the close of ISI9, his property was greatly augmented. lie coimueuced house-keeping in Bethnal-green, close to the defendant's house; but finding tkat Isis bodily health was still infirm, in the month of Joule, in the present year, he determined to sell his property, and travel on the continent, flit nest of kin was a person of his own name, a half uncle, who carried op the business of a bricklayer, and was in needy eirettni stances. This person was employed to collect rents both for the plaintiff and the defendant, who appeared to be on intimate and friendly terms with the plaintiff, so much so, that the latter was the receiver of his rents when collected by Dennis, the uncle. It was proved that the plaintiff, front his earliest infiney, had an uncommon fondness for lire-works atoll lire arms—that when he used to go (rain Bethnal-ones-1i to his partner's office in London, lie used to carry load ed pistols about him for protection, part of his road being considered lonely a;id dangerous at night ; and that for aunts: went, lie frequently let off lire-works and diseha-Red fire-arms in the garden at the hack of his house. On the 21 of June last, the defendant sent two keepers to the plaintiff's house for the pttepose of securing his fire-arms, the plaintiff being then absent from home. The antis were secured, and the keepers waited in the house until the return of the plaintiff, who had Shen ling the slay out. When lie re turned. he was immediately serum' by the I-t•perc, who told him that they had orders to confine him to his house, in consequence of the derangement of his intellects. Next day he was visited by 31r. Salmon, who was with him for about twenty mi nutes, and then certified to the defendant that he was a person ht to be pat under restraint, The plaintiff being surprised at this extra ordinary proceeding contrived to write two _letters, one to his hornier partner, and the other to a young gentleman who had served his clerkship with Mr. Williams, desiring them to call upon him.— They accordingly dial call, and Jir.
