when she was tali' n sway. The plai ttt itra attorney
wrote to the dere iiiisitt for an al eloy stool conspensa-
lion, and no s ooti.e was tAken of the letter. and tistead
of any contrition being es prt,,ea, the plaintiff, when
he came into court, was asked if lie hail tiot been hank
mit or insolvent. He paid that sae a very insulting
question ; that he had been two years in libt atop and
nine years in the same street. and that he had hewn
neither I sukrupt nor 1111.4..kr1bt. The learned counsel
fi r the dalPll.ll.llt. ID his speech to the jury, declared
that the action was a very trumpery one ; that the
woman should have been taken to the policeseourt ; aid
that Ilia client was a man a respectability sod sob-
staixe. 'flia jury found for the plaintiff, with Mil
damage.. Not A 1411.141 v word of regret was eapreased at
1.•al iii the contrary, it was alleged that the
AAA a very troupery fellow, and that the de-
fendant was a highly reap.-,,table iimm (Laughter.)
Mr. Hay !Aid that as the action had been brought

• uniatentea helots Hie jury, or lie was satisfied there
would have been no such verdict. He could nut show
that the hashand bail not received the letter.
Mr. Rion Martin- -If your client is a MID of sub.
etance. KIUU will tint hurt hits. (Laughter.)
Mr. Day—lle io • tobacconist in Clerkenwell.
Mr. Baron Martin—What do you say to the indignity
offered to • nisn at his own door by a woman dying at
him like a tigress? (Laughter.)
• Mr. Imv—No doubt there was a certain amount of
aff•ont, but the plaintiff *aye the woman was drunk,
and no doubt an insult from A drunken woman, as far as
the indignity goes, is not as great as if alie was sober.
(Laughter.) If a drunken man assaults you in the street
the indignity is not so great as if &sober 111•11 marks you
for deliberate assault. £lOO is a very large sum for the
plaintiff to receive for • rafting injury. and it is • large
sum for my client to pay. My client doe • not wii.it to
go down to trial again, and would be quite satisfied to
leave it to Ur. Baron Bramwell, who tried the amuse,
to assess the damages.
Mr. Baron Martin— It is quite impossible for us to
say that the damages were excessive—that was quite a
in .tter for the jury. Then, it is mid the assault was
committed by the wife, sod nut by the husband, but that
dot& not alter the thing. When a man ularries a woman
he is responsible for her RA....1.11tA. (Laughter.) Them
is one law and one measure fur both.
Mr. Baron Wilde concurred.
Mr. Baron Brauiwell— If tlie jury bad given £5O I
could not have said the damages were too small. They
gave £lOO, and I cantiot say they are too large. I think
that the male defendant was not so much to blame as
the female; but this I do feel hound to airy, that a more
insulting and offensive thing than this was throughout,
independently of the beating awl mobbing, there could
not have been. No apology was offered to the plaintiff ;
que•tions of • moat insulting character were put to
mid he was finally told he hail brought a trumpery
action.
Rule refused.
