- w_ _ T -- "WT,4IOP r • 7.7.* ~~ LAW INTELLIfiENCE. --••••--- COURT OP KING'S BENCH, Day. 17, 'WINSTON V. .I.OIIIOP. This was an action against the defendant for an alleged assault and battery. The defendant pleaded first the general issue, not Guilty, and *scowl son es- guilt dessesee. The plaintirs cue was conducted byMr. Scums-tit and Mr. J. WILLIAus ; and the defendant's by the SOLICITOR-01110tRAL. Mr. CASIIIIIRD and Mr. ADOL- The plaintiffs case was in subtilise'. this May last, whoa bis Majesty visited Diary-lane , • tie, of which the plaintiff is Stage Manager, orders had been given to keep the lobbies clear of sttan gers during his Majesty's entrance into and depar tore from the Theatre. The defendant, who is pro praetor of the Coburg Theatre, and one of hi i Ma jesty's hoooerable Band of Pensioners, being n at tesdance on his Majesty on that occasion, had sent bis owe servant to • the theatre to wait for him in case he should be wanted. The servant having 55a -taoerna himself in one of the lobbies, the plaintiff, in obedience to the instructions he bad received, desired .Mm to withdraw, using an expression, as was alleged by the defendant, of an offensive nature, which heist -commusicated W the defendant, he determined to re vet 4 it on the arst occasion of his moodier the plain 'tiff. It improved in evidence, that the defendant on 'the 11th of May, two days after his Majesty bad been at the theatre, called at the stagedeor, and inquired . whether the plaintiff was in the house. He was in 'fOrmed that he was, and an offer was made to bring lir:Winston to him, but the defendant said be did not Want him then ; be, however, wished I. know at what hoar the plaintiff usually left the theatre to go to din ner. He was informed that he was a very pesetasl wan, and that be geierally left the house about ten :Mantes before four o'clock. This was about 12 o'clock, and about 20 minutes before four in the afternoon of the same day, the defendant stationed himself with *a horsewhip in his band at a hatter's shop, nearly opposite the stage dsor in Little Drury lane, to wait for Mr. Winstos'e exit from the theatre. At four o'clock the plaintiff came into the street for the purpose of going to dinner, when the defendant in %giddy crossed over and began to horsewhip the plain tiff, giving him several blows across the shoal:len.— The plaintiff, who is an elderly gentleman, and ra ther low in stature, held up his walking cane to ward Off the blows, upon which the defendant, who was Mated to be a Gentleman between 34 and 35 years of age, of a powerful frame of body, and greatly se pekor in strength to the plaintiff, changed the whip o the left hand.. and with his right hand, struck the plaintiff a violent blow on the face, which blackened both his eyes. One of the spectators interposed, and remonstrated With Mr. Glossop upon the cruelty of Ito treating a man so much inferior to him in size. The defendant immediately said that the plaintiff bad in sulted his (Mr. Glossop's) servant, and had turned him out of the lobby of the theatre, using the expression, 4' turn out the lamplighter." In continuation, he said that he_ would boriewhip Mr. Winston wherever be met him, and adding" , now you shall see," and re amed the 'use orate whip, auditing the pialetiff several additional blows. The parties then separated. One witness said, that Mr. Olosop in addressing the plain tiff, observed " know that my servant is a Gentleman, but you are a scoundrel and a blackguard," or words to that effect. It did not appear that Mr. Winston had given the defendant any provocation at the time this outrage was committed, nor was there any evidence of any previous cause of offence. The Souctsoa OZNIRAL addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and admitted that they must find a verdict against the defendant, and the only question for them to consider was the amount of their damages. In considering that question, they must take into account the rational probability that Mr. Glossop had received some gross insult to justify the intemperance into which he had been betrayed ; for it was hardly to be believed that he could act in the man ner proved without some adequate cause. The fact was. that a gross insult had been conveyed from Mr. Winston to Mr. Glossop, through the servant of the latter; and instead of treating it with the contempt it deserved, he was imprudently betrayed into this per sonal conflict. It was clear that be did not mean to do Air. Winston any personal injury, for be had only chastised him with a lady's horsewhip, and thereby only meaning to express his sense of the insult he had received. The blow, which be afterwards gave, was provoked, as he was instructed, by the plaintiff having used his walking-stick in his defence. The defendant, however, must submit to a verdict ; and the Jury would take all the circumstances into their consideration. The LORD CHM JusTice summed up the case for the Jury, and said it was an assault attended with cir cumstances of considerable aggravation. The plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdict, and they would give him such reasonable anJ temperate damages (in the absence of all vindictive feeling) as the justice of the case demanded. The Juri, after a short deliberation returned a ver dict, 1501. damages, 40s. costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 15. VOMMLL, GENT. D. CAMPBELL. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings, from which it ap peared that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, against the defendant, one of the clerks in the Customhouse, for driving his chaise against that of the plaintiff, and thereby injuring the plaintiff's wife. The damages were laid at Mi. and the defend ant bad pleaded not guilty. Mr. Serjeant PELL stated the case to the Jnry. i*lr. l,ee Thomas, a Surgeon, who was called in to attend .ors. Fowe;l after the accident, stated that the injury was so great that a mortification appeared likely to follow ; the injury arose from one of the wheels having gone over the right leg of Mrs. Fuwell ; her health suffered considerably. Richard Neale, a fruiteter, residing in the City Road, proved that on the evening in question, he had seen Mr. Boswell coming into London, at the rate of six or seven miles an hoar; the road was about 41 fact broad I the defendant was going towards Penton vide at the same time ; he was not then whipping his pulley at a furious rate; plaintiff was en the left side, within two or three feet of the path; defendant was cu.4.ing from town on the same side, but nearer to the a ~~~:: 4 . .FV7 • • Overeat Ms pads; deflating' cbstse t and Ms wife . feadatit mai ; rite the defendant's seas only a peaty.

Mr. &beast VAVSSAN, for the defendant, con tended, that the circumstances which had been proved certainly did not entitle the plaintiff to any heavy damages. He admitted that the defendant was at the time inebriated. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, observed, that drunken ness was so excuse for criminality, nor any defence, In civil cases, except where the validity of eontractl was the question for the decision of a Jury. The Jury, considering all the circumstances of the ease, would be governed by sound discretion In their verdict. The Jury consulted for about five minutes, and then gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages.

A. Smith. Esq who early on the morning of Monday last, was shot by a gang of poachers, six or seven of whom were assembled at Asbdown-copplee. for the purpose of kil ling pheasants. it appeared by the evidence adduced before the Coroner, that it was the usual practice of Mr. Smith's gamekeepers to keep • look out for poachers during the full of the moon ; and that seven of them bad assembled for that purpose at Ashdown Cover, about twelve o'clock bn Sunday evening, and had sot been there above an boor before they beard the report of a gun ; and on proctoring to the quarter from which it came, they discovered three men stand ing under the wood, and immediately after two more joined them from out of the wood ; whereupon Baker and his associates made up to thets,and inquired what they did there; upon which several of the poachers with horrid imprecations threatened to shoot the first man who dared to apprehend any of them. Baker, however, shortly after laid hold of one them, when a poacher, who had no gun, snatched one from the bands of another, saying to him, " D—u thee. thou dost not do thy duty." and presenting it deliberately at Baker's breast, fired it off, and killed bins instantly.' At this moment another poacher snapped his gun all another keeper. but luckily it missed fire. After beating the keepers in a most desperate manner, the poachers decamped., taking with them a gun belonging to one of the keepers, but leaving behind them three hats and two guns, which with the very liberal reward offered by Mr. Smith, will It is anxiously hoped and expected, lead to the discovery of the perpetrators this most sanguinary business.—Verdict—Wilful mar der against dome person or personsunknown.--VomP shire. Teleiroph,) Ah old fellow, of the name of Isaac Jones, who was been for many years a pest to the perish officers of Fresh ford, was sent home to them about twelie months ago, in consequence of their refusing to relieve him, whilst living out of his own parish, from the' conviction that be was an impostor. He is' naturally filthy and abusive, and on Monday last the parish officers came to the de termination to strip him from bead to foot for the pur pose of well cleansing bins and destroying his tittered garments, which, with its cargo of vermin, he took con siderable pride in wearing. The thoughts of having his coat burnt which had stack closely to his hack for the last 15 years, put hies into a serious state of agita• tion, and when be was told it was upon the fire, he be came almost frantic. His breeches was next thrown upon the fire, when he eagerly exclaimed, that some halfpence were in one of the pockets; the mistress of the house took them off, in their burning state, and on examining the pockets, to her F re a astoni.innent, she found a leather ba g , containing several others of a smaller sire, in each of which the money was found, amountiag . to 14 seven shilling pieces, and 11 . 11 s. in silver. h is now strongly suspected that the coat had bank notes concealed about it, from the very , great dis• tress the wretched being evinced on hearing it was burnt, and even now the parish officers cannot pacify him. He never took off his clothes, bat always slept in them, sad • thus did he become at last quite filthy offen sive, which led to the detection of his impositions.

Mr. ,Cochrane said, that bakers' men always took lour to make their puddings. and he never found fault with them, but he never allowed them to take it out of the house.—Guilty. Joseph Raven Charles Hassnivton, and George Bad ger were indicted for stealing 100 cwt. of lead, the pro ' perty of Thomas Manners Boyle, fixed to a building. The prosecutor resided in Cranb ourn-alley, and stated, that on the night of the 12th of November, he heard a rumbling noise on the top of the house, and was, in consequence, induced the following morning, between ten and eleven, to get upon the roof to ascertain the cause, when, to his astonishment, he discovered the three prisoners in the act of removing a quantity of lead. The prisoner, Raven, bad, a short time siuce, lived with him, and as aeon as witness recognised him, prisoner placed his hands before his face and endeavoured to hide iiiimself. Assistance was called for and they were all secured. On their progress to the watch-house, Raven informed the officer that they had entered the house by means of a false key, which was found under a tub io the yard, whi her it had been thrown after they bad got in. Several persons gave Raven and Badger excellent characters. The Jury found them guilty, but recom mended them to mercy. George Davies, a lad of very respectable appearance , was put to the b ar, charged with stealing 3s. 6d., the property of his master, Ellis Jones. Ellis Jones stated, that the prisoner was his shopman. and, in consequence of suspicion he had that the prisoner made frequent visits to his till. be marked a number of shillings and sixpences, and left the shop for a few mi nutes. On his return he discovered that three shillings and sixpence, so marked, had dissppeareds be linisseli ately sent far as Aar, Oa seaegked the prisolrfel i t *and the intinek in his passessies.—Gailty, recelle ed to mercy. After the prisoner had been removed from the bar, the prosecutor expressed his willingness to take the pri soner again into his service. When Mr. ARABIN called him up for judgment, and after a very impressive ad dress, sentenced him to pay a fine of Is. and to be dis charged. He immediately left the dock and was de livered to his master. POLICE. MANstoN-Heusc—William Bleekmax, a hackney coachman, was brought up on suspicion of having withheld part of his day's earnings from his master. It appeared that the prisoner had come home late at night in estate of intoxication, and refusing to render up his cash account, was sent to the watch-house, where be was searched and 235. found upon bim, while be said he had only taken 9s. 6d. In defence, the coachman called a young woman who bad given him a sovereign and a shilling, instead of two shil lings, for a fare, on the day in question. She had al most miraculously sought him out, and came in now opportunely to explain the cause of the prisoner's drunkenness, and the overplus of cash. The Lord Mayor was perfectly satisfied of the prisoner's inno cence, and he was discharged on refunding 19s. to the young woman. Bow-rriterr —Mr. Burgess, n respectable looking gentleman, residing at Islington, appeared at this office on Saturday night, charged with assaulting the pit money-taker at Covent-garden .Theatre, who stated that the defendant applied to him for checks for three persons ; but being very slow in taking out his money. and a crowd pressing in, be desired him to have the .] goodness - to stand back, and make way for those who bad their money ready. The defendant refused ; upon which the money-taker repeated his mitten, pushing him gently back at the same time with his baud in the usual way. The defendant immediately struck him, and thrust a large cane into his box at bitty, which he wrested out of his hand, and gave hint in Charge to a constable. The defendant replied, that when he refused to stand bark, according to the money-taker's orders, in stead of a gentle push, as the complainant called it, be gave him a blow with his fist, upon which he did strike him, he admitted, and he would have crushed bin', had he not been prevented. After a good deal of disenseion had taken place, and some witnesses were examined as to whether the complainant struck the first blow or not, the *orthy Magistrate at length determined that each party should enter into his own recognisance to appear at the Ses sions, to answer their mutual charges.. itoDIIRRY or THE DOVER COACH OF FIVE HUNDRED POUN OS IN SiLvka.—Saturday, this subject was again brought forward for investigation. It appeared from time evidence of the officer, that, on his apprehending a noted fellow of the name of Thorn, last Thursday week, on suspicion of being concerned in this rub bery, be effected his escape at the instant of the Oth cer's going to handcuff him. The officer firetritt Thorn, but the effect of thi pistol did not arrest the speed of the latter ; and notwithstanding the perse verance of the police officers, he has hitherto eluded their vigilance. The lodgings of Thorn were searched, and time implements nsually, emul.loved in house-break- i ;, ' • I* h
