MAYOR, BUM, AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by an aged Jew to recover compensation in damages for pt assault committed upon . Ills person, under the following circumstances, stated by his Counsel. and proved toy two witnesses :—On the 10th of December last, he went into the house of Defendant, who keeps a public-house in the Commercial-road. to wait fur the Captein of a ship, who had promised to meet him there to purchase a watch ; while stopping he called for • pint of porter, hot tins was refused. He then called for a glume of gin and water. but this also teem denied, and the landlord said he would not draw liquor for any Jews whatever. The Plain. tiff expressed some disapprobation at this uneourtly conduct, upon which the landlord, assisted by the , two other Defendants. who are beadiwoughr, forc ed him with *That violence out of the house. and laid him prostrate in a heap of mud : which was col lected opposite the door. By this misconduct the Plaintiff not alone was covered with dirt, but h•st his wig, spectacles, and watch. The spectacles were returned, but neither the watch uor wig were forthcoming. 0o the part of the Defendants a complete and satisfactory answer wee given to this cliar4e. turned not that the Plaintiff, who is a pedlar, oh. truded himself into the pillow of Mr. Al iyou's house, for the purpose of endeavouring to get u customer. Mr. Muyou, seeing him iu this sit (la ti told him to go out, having repeatedly before in formed him that he would not have the visitors to Ins house thus disturbed. This put mister Levi into • v4olent rage ; he waved his stick in a threat ening manlier towards both Mayon and his wife, applied 1,, them very indecent epithets, and re fused to quit the place, asserting his right to go into any room in the house excepting the bar. lim consequence of this violence, which the Plaintiff 'continued for some time, the other Defendants, the ilea,ib e we ug hs, were sent for, and they endeavoured to persuade the enraged Plaintiff to withdraw. H. still persisted in refusing, and sit length they handed him as gently as they could to the door, and put Van out; after which, in order to form a ground of action. hr desp i sed voluntarily in the mud, and ex claimed that he had lost Ina wig and watch, although neither one nor the other had been seen with him -previously. Mr. MARRYATT. in reply to this eitSP, Urged, that it was a settled point of law, a publican was bound to draw beer or spirits for any person who might go into his house for that purpose. and that in applying an offensive epithet to the Plain tiff. the Defendant hail himself been the cau►e of the irritation which had been displayed, and con airtfuently had no right to treat the Plaintiff in the wanner in which he had been treated. He also ►idiculed the idea. that any man could hare such sit affection for dirt as to lay hinis.lf voluntarily ►lowt, in a heap of such disgusting hitlt as had been dterr'sbed. The CHIEF JUSTICE knew of no such settled psu.t of low as had been stated by the Learned Counsel. lie did nut see why any publican in Lon non stsechi nut. if he chose, refuse to serve an ob_ jocti%,isble person who might come into his house. There wits a law which applied to the accominodu t 101 l of trivet:era in inns, but this did not apply to c:insfc,ni pillshe houses, His Lordship then sum med up the evidence, and the jury found a verdict for the Delenduists. The Plaintiff left the Court, acknowledging that he had fur once made " u bad COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATIMPAT, Dec. 4. Si:6ll,T: at 11isi Prius, before Chief Justice DALLAS. DALLAWAY r. CLAYTON. This was an action brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant, to recover the sum of 221. Ms. for the board and lodging of Mrs. Clay ton. the Defendant's age, at the rate of 25.. per week. The circumstances of the case were these appeared that the Defendant, who is a saddle►, residing in Waterloo-place. St. James's, mar ried Mrs. Clayton some years back. They lived together for a considerable time in a state of snutnal affection and happiness ; hut, upon some elii.igreeinent, the nature of which did not appear, a separation took place with the consent of both Joireies, and the Defend.tnt agreed to give his wife seine weekly allowance, the amount of which was snit tit:lied in evidence. It appeared. however, that it sass very inconsiderable, mild had not been paid at .41 since January 1:15t. Mrs. Clayton, about six tr:•tnths bock, went to board and lodge with the Ptaintiff, who was her friend, and the present ac tiati was brought to recover the amount of Plain tiff's demand for the raid board and lodging, being at the rate of 255. per week. Mr. Serjeant LENS. on the part of the De fendant, contended, that there was no ground for Cie present action ; that his client haring agreed to g ive fin allowance, which for any thing that appear . 4 ringlet have been a reasonable and a fair one, cad the wife baring refused to accept it according In agreement, the Plaintiffrould not now come for w■rd with a demand like the present. The only ground upon which it coald be made was, either a want of any allowance, or a proof of its insufficiency, neither of whirl circumstances appeared in this case. The situation of his client was not one from whit.h a large weekly allowance could be expected, he being only a journeyman saddler. serie.ll.l VAUGHAN, oil the psrt of the Plaintiff, called. witnesses to prove that the Defend ant allowed Ins wife malting since January last ; that he lived in Waterloo-place. in a style far dif- Prent to %t hat might be expected front a journey mail saddler ; tIbIE his house was elegantly furnish ed, mod that lie kept a regular account at the house of Ilirris and Co. titmice's.
