LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCI4. SITTINGS 31.50RL LORD KE.NYON, AT GUILDHALL, REED v. LANE. nits was an Atlion for an assault; and Which we are induced to state, because thecircumStances of it are uncommon, and may perhaps be'a lesson to some who shall peruse it. • The Plaintiff is a pattern drawer for -cottons, &c: and an industrious man, who could earn between 21. and 31. a week by his business, and has a wife • and fstmily to support, which he_ did with decency, before the cause of this complaint arose, He had been at the. Theatre on', the zest of January last to see tits .MAJ ESTY, and as be was returning home; the Defendant, who was stated to bea Clerk, at a large salary, to Messrs. Rai,lton and Co. Cheapside, met him,- whena quarrel and an assault took place. - A Watchman - Of the name of Faller, said, that on the night of, the asst of January Tasty about half past twelve, he saw the Plaintiff coming; along Fleet-street ; the Defendant past him ; the Witness heard the Defendant_call the Plaintiff ‘‘an impostor and a thief."—The Phintiir said, "he was not, and that he bore as gb3,l a chardifler. as him."--=- Upon which the Defendant struck Ihe Plaintiff twice and knocked .him against the house, and then the Plaintiff gave charge of the Defendant to the Wit ness, who spning leis rattle for assistance to secure the Defendant; and the . Defendant struck the Plainciff' , with his left hand, and threw him down on the pavement and brolse his, thigh. The Plaintiff did not, at all offer to 'strike the,Defendante the 'Plaintiff would have gone . from the Defendant, but he turned upon .him and struck him-- r -The Witness theh proceeded thus- , ---" I. did not know the one or tha other of them before I rook Reed to the Watch. flonse and Lane also—l delivered .the Defendant up to the-Constable Of the Mght; and went upon my duty kgain. I did riot, hear the Defendant say any thing at the Watch-house did not hear the watch called before I,came down to them. There was no Watch called .at - all. I saw the Plaintiff pass by my Watch-box Without speaking to the other., There was ; plenty of .girls in the street, but there were none of them talking. to Mr. Reed ; just as I cameup there was a mob of people. What brought , on the.quarrel between them Ido not know. Mr. Reed was carried an a man's back to the Watch,? l hoUse. It appeared to me that, Mr. Reed would haVe gone quietly home if Mr,,Lane Would have • let him do so." John Thom Aso!: , another Watchman, said, "as I was calling half past twelve o'clock at the corner of Bridge_street, the - .bottom of. Ludgate-Hill, I Beard it rattle sprung ; ran to the agistance of _ the man who sprung his rattle ; when I•came up saw Mr.,Reed lying down ; he was groaning very much ;• the other stood over him, with his left hand up, and while he was lying on the ground, I thought he was going to strike him ; I took hold Of and - asked _what- was - the-matter ?: Mr. Lane said, " This is a villain and'an impostor." I said, "If the man has done any thing amiss, let him go to the Watch-hot:se and settle• it there." I gave Mr. Lane in custody, and lif t ed up-Mr. Reed,„ who said, " 1 camiot stand, my - thigh is , brolc'en, I- believe." On which Mr. Lane said, " he is an - impostor, I will have a Surgeon And have him searched, for -T have not hurt him." The Plaintiff, Mr. Reed, is a. than of about five feet-five, and small. - The lendant is a tall stout. man.- I carried' Mr. Reed on my back to the Watch-house, and the other Watchman got diem before, me. I set Mr. Reed down-on a seat, and desired the Constable to look at him. Flc looked at his face,-but by the agony 11 was in he did not know him, but afterwarils he did, and said,. " God bless my soul, Mr. Reed; is it you I" - Mr.. Lane was,• all this while calling him all the thieves and rogues he -could, and said, " you may tell by his countenance . that he is a thief."---4 then helpt the Plaintiff into coach, and took him' to the Hospital—The .Defendant " If his thigh is broke, I will stand.the consequence, but I-do not think it is."—" I knew -nothing of any of this quarrel until the rattle', was sprung, and I saw the man on the ground;)! - • John Irbitemar:, one of the ofliceri of the night, said, when this ; po - cir • mart was brought into the watch house; his thigh was broke; I had known him-many years before; he was set down by. the Watchman. When I looked at' him first I hardly knew him ; I afterwards got up and said, " Lord, Mr. Reed, is it you ? I am sure I did, not know you." I asked-Ina) '' what's the matter 1" ." believe my thigh - is broke," said he. I said, "yes, lam afraid it is, Mr. Reed." Lane said, " I do 'not think it is : he is an impostor." I said, ". no, Sir ; I know the man very well ; he is as good a charatter as you are."' I said, " the best way to prove whether he - is an impostor or ner,:is ,to send him to the hospital ;" and I said, - "then it would be seen whether ;his thigh, was broke or not." What past afterwards I cannot say. Mr: Reed is a Painter, 'and,l believe, draws pattern., for, shops, and gets a great deal. of money. He maintains his - family with great credit. He is-very bad now ; he cannot walk about at all ; he has a wife and a large family. - Mr. Grahani, Suigeon, said, " I,am resident Surgeon at the hospital where this man was brought. I was called up between twelve and one. He wag ,confined in the hospital fourteen or fifteen weeks his thigh was broken, 'and very bad' it was—a very - bad fratinre." - Mr. yob' Lawrie said, " He attended Mr: Reed at his own house and also at the hospital. Fifteen weeks after the, accident ihappened he was in bed, unable to get up; he is even now unable . to go over the home, except upon crutches : it'must be some time before he is restored to his health." On gross-examination this Officer of th.e hospital was asked this question—"HoW came he to be dis, charged out of the hospital=--he was turned out, was not he ?'? • A. " Tie nature of the case was peculiar he behaved himself extremely well there, and he wai extremely grateful and thankful for our attention to him." Mrs. Knight ---" I-employed the Plaintiff to draw patterns for me ; I believe capable of earning
