Mr. ADAM stated the case of the plaintiff to the Jury.— The defendant, who was a man in a respectable situation in life, some years since married a lady who was the daugh ter of one of the plaintiffs, and the. sia'rr of the other.— This marriage proved an unhappy one: the parties lived to gether for some time, but it beCame necessary at last for the friends of the wife to app-al to the law, in order to put a stop to the cruelty and oppression Which the defendant practised towards her. At use last Quarter Sessions the de fendant was accordiney indicted, and found guilty: acorn promise was proposed, and the Counsel for the parties arranged an agreement, tie subs'ance of which was, that Mr. anti Mrs. Bird should live separate, he allowing her the sum of 501. per annum for her support. Upon that arrange ment being made, the Chairman of the Bench of 31agis• trates contented hitoself with imposing a nominal fine on Mr. Bird. The defendant vow refused compliance *ith the agree ment, alleging that lie had not in person consented to it. and this action was brong:it to recover twelve pounds ten shillings, being the amount of one quarter's allowance. The case had proceeded bat a li'tle way, when it was per ceived that the plaintiff's case was defective, and Mr. Adam consented to be nonsuite.:. Mr. Justice BEST desired that the plaintiffs should be call ed, observing that he could not but deeply regret that such should be the determination of a suit so properly brought against a man who had conducted himself in so scandalous anddiszraceful a manner._ Mr. Sergeant PILL stiol, as Counsel for Mr. Bird, my Lord, I must be permitted to say— Mr. Justice BEST.—Let the plaintiff he called.

Mr. MIABRiATT stated the rase. The plaintiff was IS 1 surgeon and apothecary, and the defendant an auctioneer. ' Roth parties resided in Rocheater,and were brothers-in-law, I having married two sisters. They were opposed to each I other in political opinions, and, party spirit pinning high in Rochester, a strong Wing of hostility on this score, mingled with some family disputes, rendered them any I thing but good friends. i oconsequence of souse misurider. standing between the plaintiff and a Mr. Nicholson (the i defendant's uncle) on the 14th of June last que l l/Lich arose from an interchange of nocoortrous leaks, the defendant next day met the plaintiff in the streets of Rochester, and I called him to account for the supposed insu't which had been given to Mr. Nicholson. The plaintiff disputed the right of the defendant to interferC in another tsars'. par reds, and endearoured to avoid him. The defendant; how. ever, said lie shonld stand in his nude's shoes, at d chef. lenged the plaintiff to the field of honour. This invitation the plaintiff did not feel himself bound to accept, declined the meeting, and remonstrated in mild terms with the de fendant, upon the imprudence of meddling in an affair *DB which he bad nothing to do. At this moment the plaintiff was standing in the horse road, with his hands behind his back, wholly unprepared for any attack, whilst the 'Wend ant was standing on the curb stone, and without any inti. 'cation of the defendant's intention, the latter aimed a ferocious blow at his face. and felled him to the ground, with his head in the kennel. Stunned with the Mow, lie was unable to get pp without a.sistaure. His face 'vas covered with blood, his eye immediately swelled. and he was carried to a. neighbouring hotel, awl thence to his house, where he remained for more than a week suable to follow his professional pursuits. For this cowardly mad brutal assault the learned counsel claimed. on behalf of the plaintiff a liberal compensation in damages.- - Tbeassaalt bating been proved by these persons who bad been spectators, and the injury by two surgeons who at tended the plaintiff, Mr. GURNST (with whom were Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. %Ronan), who had not asked a single question of the plaintiff's witnesses, then addressed the Jury en behalf of the defendant. He admitted the violence of the assault, and that a verdict must go against his client, butprepared to show that the provocation given by the plaintiff was such as that flesh and blood could not bear it, awl conse quently that the damages must be reduced to A mere nomi nal sum. The defendant was a respectable young man ; he had been brought up front his infancy by his uncle, Mr. N. Nicholson, towards whom he entertained the affection. ate and dutiful feeling of a son; for to him his uncle had been a father, and had in every respect treated him with the most parental kindness. Standing in this relation, he was entitled to the same considertion for human infirmities, if he resented with a proper spirit a grotto insult given to such a relative, whose health, strength, and years, rendered kiln unable to chastise the plaintiff's insolence. It would .ap near that on the 14th of Jane, the plaintiff met Mr. Nichol son in the streets of Rochester, and treated him in the most offensive =noel, by contemptuously surveying him from head to foot, and axing gestures which it was impassible to misunderstand. Mr. Nicholson had just risen from the bed of sickness, and was wholly unable to resent the indig nity. This conduct reaching the dnfendant's ears, he was naturally desirous of remonstrating with the plaintiff upon his misconduct.—lle sought an interview with the plain tiff, but with no intention of committing any violence. It , was the plaintiff's own conduct on that occasion which pro voked the art of intemperance of which the defendant was guilty, and when the Jury heard the provocation, they would think that the chastisement which the plaintiff re , ceived was well merited. The defendant at first mildly re monstrated with the plaintiff upon his conduct towards his , um-le. The plaintiff said it was no business of the defend , ant's, and added this insulting remark—" If Mr. Nicholson chooses to employ a bully to advocate his cause, I can hire one too for a shilling or eighteen pence." This was ac companied by an attitude of defiance, and an intimation , that he was ready to settle the matter then. Unshle to re , strain the feelings of indignation which such an insult was , so well calculat.ti to excite, the defendant gave way to his passion, and instantly knocked the plaintiff :town. Could , he have done less? If he had tamely submitted to such an insult, he must have been something more or less than man. A witness having been examined who was acquainted with all the parties, and who was present from the beginning to the end of the affray. Mr. Mammal., in ready, contended that the plaintiff's claim to damages was undiminished, notwithstanding the evidence of Mr. Wildest'. It was clear that the defendant bad sought the quarrel with the plaintiff, who was evidently averse from any wish to place himself in contact with the defendant ; and he could not help saying that the behavi our of the defeidant, in striking the plaintiff when he was unprepared for attack, was a cowardly and dastardly act, and very much like the conduct of a gutter h3lly. Mr. &iron tiaaitast summed up the evidence with impar tiality, left it to the Jury to say what damages they would give the plaintiff under all the circumstances of the Case. The Jury deliberated a few minutes and found their wr- , diet fur. the plaintiff—Damages. VI., costs This was an action by a surgeoli and apothecary against a physician of Maidstone, for words of slander concerning the plsintitf in his profession. The den iration alleged spe -621 damage in consequence of the slender. The defendant pleaded, first, Not Ouiltv ; and second, a jnstificrion of the Words. Mr. Gurney, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. Chitty, eon ducted the plaintiff '3 case; and 11r. Marrystt and Mr. Wat ford, the defendant's.

The messenger arrived •at Coxlieath shout d o'clock, and the aperient was administered to the patient. Ne , day the defendant visited his prient to know the e,f,c,. of his prescription, and upon finding that the id which int directed the medicines to be taken Lad be'ea changed, he became extremely angry; and on his return to Maidstone, called at the plainti ff 's hunt.. aceotnpunied by a aril surgeon to the plaintiff, and reproved the young in 13 for the liberty tie had taken with the p eev ripti u e. I n c!: sequence of "this proceeding, the plaintiff wrote a lover t the defendant, in which he expressed his opinion of 106 conduct. The result was, that the defendant thought pre= per to circulate the slander which was the subject of this action.

I u one instance, this state:- went haul the effect of completely depriving the plain:I:: of a patient, and it was In:dated that such sander wa s calculated to do a man in the plaintiff's profetsioti calatce asietitief. On cross eiraitilintion of the witnesses; it appe tied that the plaintiff and the defendant hell bears ' previously on the most friendly terms, and on one acasion the defendant had sail of We plaintiff that he wets one of the most goOd natured fillow's in the world, plain. MI 'a assistant was called, and interrogeetl as to his knowledge of the Latin language. Pd.* to this transaction Ise bad studied that lango4ce for it' mouths, and since the commencement °tibia action lie had received private les sons. When Dr. Smith called at the p!aintirs and he was desired to construe the prescription, he construct it correctly. Dr. Hue, Lecturer of St. Baotholomew Hospital, was examined to the propriety of the plaintiff s ,onnduct in altering the order in which the medicines wer to be taken by the defendant's patient. In the jedgmentr of this gentleman, it was. a natter of perfect indifference whether the aperient dr the camphor draught iVas taken ,first. For bis owe part, had it been his own case, be should have been much obliged to the plaintiff to alter the directions of the prescription, under the circumstances stated. The prescription was written in such general terms, as to leave a good deal• to the discretion of the apo thecary, add certainly the plaintiff had exercised a rev: sound Judgment in directing the aperient to be taken firs', the morning having been so far advanced after the pre. scription reached tIM plaintiff's house. After the plabrill'i can was closed, Mr. Baron Graham interposed, and stir.. rested the propriety of withdrawing a juror, ronsiderinz the respectability of both parties, and the impolicy of keep ing up a feud of this description, which could not fail vL doing berm. Mr. MARRYATT said, it was impossible for Dr. Sallilt to yield to acy terms of compromise, short of an ample apology for the offensive letter he had written to him. The ease then proceeded, and on the part of the defend. ant, it was contended that the supposed slander complained of by the plaintiff was perfectly justified under all the cir-. cumstances of the case. On the morning, when Dr. Suiiilf. called upon the plaintiff to accompany him to Foxlieath,tlid plaintiff's bell was repeatedly rung without any body con: ing to the door, and at length the Doctor's patience bein• tired out v ite said to his servant " Go on, my man, there I-. nobody coining." This was all the Doctor said, and this was the sopposed offence alluded to in the rase for th ' plaintiff. Next day after the defendant had asc tai fled that his prescription had not been observed, he called at the plaintiff's house to inquire the cense. Another gentknata happened accidentally to be with him. lle saw the plaintiff's assistant, and called upon him to construe his r.rescription, bat Le was unable to do so correctly. For ins'tanc.:, lees translated the words " Si opies sii" to mean, " Atter it has operated," which was quite contrary to the DuLtor's mean ing. He gently remonstrated wits the young man for his mistake, and advised him to be more careful for the future.. • On the following day the plaintiff wrote a most off-nsice letter to the defendant, in which he bestowed npon him the terms illibetal, ungentlemanly, malicious, disgracefoil, scan- dalous, hase,and otuer epithets of that description, in speaks ing of his conduct. Under such circtimstances, it was im possible for the Doctor tosubmit tamt to ;lie insults heaped upon him by the plaintiff; and it was put to the Jury whe ther the defendant's conduct, as a physician, was not per fectly justifiable. The facts sta , ed in defence were proved an evidence, and the plaintiff's letter was read. Mr. (image replied on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. Baron CladHAil spawned up the case. The Juty enquired what damages would carry costs?— The Learned Judge informed them 404., and they itirth•- diately found their vertlict h for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s. The case excited conshierahle interest in H.iiilstone. The plaintiff expressed his regret At the necessity he felt in bein4 obliged to bring the action, a d now expressed his Furrow for the intemperate. I. tier lie had written to the de/env:ant. The trial commenced on Friday, was adjourned till-to-day, and ended about 12 o'clock.
