His clients felt ma much compassion for the sufferings of Mrs. l)rbnam as any person, mid if the 'locales had remained merely oue of hummed', they would have done every thing to have relieved Mr. and Mrs. Debases Crolll the calamity they had suataiued, but the sautneut the question assumed a legal character they thought it their duty to meet the ease on its own merits, and to try it on its merits only, sod if the Jury found they had been guilty •f any **entente Obey would give a propurtionate comprusation.

Nothing could be morreaay than to put down dist turhances of the description which way the subject of the sown. if the teapectable port of the inha bitants of a parish. would only associate together for that . pn,rpose, those who were most riotous would be must ca.ily intimidated. Failing ill this•duty, the only effectual way of teaching the hundred to feel their own. interest in the preservation of the peace. was to bring stich action.. ludrrrl t these was no other mode of cumpentating the Plaintiff fur the injury he had rinstaitted, the Legislature having provided by the 37th of the lair flog, that the action must he brought against the hundred. it was en set of patriatisin for every man under such circumstances to bring the case before the public; and he entertained nu doubt that action* of this description wotkld be attended with the moat bene ficial effects. Mr. ttigty, the Maintifrs shopman, and other witnesses, proved that a snub of about one thousand persons awieinbled before the Plaintiff', house, oil the night of the 49th of November, and bloke its windows, though the house was illsiniinated with t we l ve S iva be,, six . Tie m ob said it was a shabby exhibition—that the Plaintiff was a King's mail, anti therefore broke his windows to the number of six panes, which ronouliteil to 21. Its. Mr. Srrjeant Osist.ow, for the Defendant, ob served, that the principal pact of the speech of his Learned Friend on the other side, mast consumed in making apologies for bringing this action, to re cover the miserable sum of 2/. I 1,. He cossfesaed that there was certainly some nerd of apology fur it, considering th it the case did not in fact come within the statute. The action, indeed, seemed to have been brought to vindicate the Plaintiff% taste, from the aspersion of the mob, who said that hue illumination was shabby ; but surely the hundred were not to be answerable for imputations upon the Plaintiff's taste. The mob ceitainly had dime uo more than correct his taste, and there was no proof of any intention to commit a felonious act. These actions were frequently brought to assert a man's) rank and dignity, thinking t h at they were personages or too much importuner to be Ire eked over in silence. Ile remembered an extraortlioary instance of this. Oil an occa.iun of a general illu mination, a Gentleman wishing to signalize hi. opinions in onposition to the popular feeling, thought ',toper to abstain from illuminating. The snob, however, took no notice of his bons.% Provoked at their indifference, he was determined to sheer his importance, sod he accordi n gly rodent.' his black footmen to assist bun in breaking his oa u wi m l u w a , which lie did; but it being very soon discovered that the windows were broke from within-sale, the imposition was detected. Now in this cur, if the Jury should be of opinion that the windows of the Plaintiff were broken from the inside, they must be satisfied that the case was pretty like thz one to which he had adverted, slid consequently, that the Defendant was entitled to a verdict. Mr. Hymn Woos charged tie Jun•. that if they believed the evidence for thr Plaintiff, the case was clearly within the statute, and Wee Plaintiff was en titled to M veiditt.

This was au action brought by the Plaintiff, Mr. John Harriett, a very respectable householder ire the parish of St. Mary. Newington, against John Banks, an officer of the nolik e office, Queen-square, and JOllll GA; an officer of the public office, Union Hall, for an assault and false imprisonment, on the 11th of November last. The declaration also charg ed the Defendants with a trespass, in forcibly en tering the Plaintiff's dwelling-house, and taking away several gold and silver watches, various arti cle. of plate, and oilier property, to an amount ex ceeding 9.00 i. The Defendants merely pleaded the general issue, and from the statement of the Common SCRJBANT, the following appeared to be the law of the case:— Same short time previous to November last a burglary had been committed in a Gentleman's house, in Jerinymstreet, St. Jame..'s, when Bank ur England notos, to the noniattot of .515/. were stolen.

To chew how cal such • valiant mob might be put to flight, the Plaintiff's nephew discharged a pistol loaded only with powder, from the top of the house, and, scared at the sound of danger. they scampered off. Under these circumstances the par sent action was brought, and if any thing could more entitle this case to the consideration of the Jury thou another, it was the character of the Plaintiff, who was • harmless. unoffending Lady, who from bet helplessness could not protect her own properly, and who therefore was peculiarly the object of protection iu the eye of the law.
