The Defendant was formerly a Barrister, and now possessed con: drrable pro• perry in the North of England. lie was a man of robust constitution, and to size ail_letic, abaut years of age, and it was most Curious. that he should plead, that the Plaintiff had first assaulted him, when it appeared she wei a weak old lady. of about 63 years of age, keeping a lodigineouse in Marg A rei-.t reel, Cavenithsh.sy nate. The Detenian t livedso her house, in the first fashion, kept two cat rt. ages, sm. On the 3.1 February last, the D:tendant being a man of violent passions, sent for Mrs. Brooks, in order, it was unt.rrstuod, to complain of her ser vant ; Mrs. Brooks having, at ;he same time, some complaint against the Deferstut himself. for some irregulatitiea of his during her absence io the coun• try, relative to his introduc:ng a female stranger At certain Lours into the house, was remonstrating with him upon the impropriety of his conduct, whets he violently seized her, turned her out of the room, awl shut the door in her face, accompanying these ails with abusive language. Her arm in conse quente was mit, and hat gown torn. On the lids of the same month, a porter came with a qiiantity of hams and bacon from Yorkshire, a present to the Defandant, who insisted upon depositing them is a state.roons or back-kitchen, of which Mrs. Brooks wi;:ted to kelp the entire occupants.. to herself, and refused to permit the harm and kacon any room there.

These fats were proved by Jane Roberts, the servant of the Plaintiff. Mr. Claaaow, for the Defendant, c.onsidered this a most ridiculous and preposterous story. Mrs. Brooks. brawling with resentment. accuses this Gentleman, who is a bachelor, of having a lady to breakfast with him ; and then, because be wished to get shut of her vociferous tolitete, he turns bet out, and she swears he assaulted he►. He then called Corner, the Defend int's servant man, who could not prove any thing ; and Bush, the porter, who carried the hams and bacon ; and who stated, that After Mrs. Brooks had opposed th?ir depositing the &c. in the hack kitchen, and assaulted both F:•:; and the Defendarr, he saw her sprawling up.mr her back, in the middle of the floor, but could nut teil the reason. Lord k:i.t.cstiotcu:oli told the Jury. that as the first assault stood uncontradid ed. they must find a verditt for the Plaintiff upon that one ; and with respe9 to the s , cood, they would consider whether the story of the . se•vant-rnsid had been at all con tradined by the evidence of the porter.
