131111011 T. Bt'LLOCC.—AsSAOLT AT THU OXIORDSIIIIII

ELZCv!L

At this court an &snip; wanl;naglit by T. Hargis, of
Beam, near Wallingford, against Charles Bullock, a
farmer, of Peppard, near lienlay, to recover 201. as damages
for an assault.
_ _

The plaintiff; it appeared, went to • polliag-booth at Net
debed, at the late eltction for the county of Oxford, to re-
cord his vote in favour of Lord !loners, the free trader, and
defendant, who is a stanch protectionist, and one of Colonel
North's requisitionists, was, in conjunction with his two
sons, in a state of great excitement during the progress of
the poll, sad whenever a vote was given for Lord Norreys,
they immediately began offering insult and annoyance to
the party, and at times their conduct was so violent that
serious breaches of the peace would have occurred but for
the judicious interference of a police-officer stationed at
Nettlebed by the sheriff's deputy to protect the polling-
booth. When • disturbance had been created on the
afternoon of the first polling-day, something was said by
the plaintiff Burgle which seemed to give offence
to the defendant Bullock, who, with the ferocity of the
speedos of salmis demoted by his name instantly pounced
11 apes BIM* misain held of him by the nose, and thus
dragged his norm the street, amid the jeers, laughter, and
crier of ..shaear," CO tbs Mot of the crowd. This was the
essault,__fee which damson wen laid at 201.
Mr. Wffibme. barrister, appeared for the plaintiff ; and
Mr. Chillts, of Lodes, was retained for the defendant.

drink is gin and water, tor 1 don't pretend to he either a
teetotaller or ambit. After we had finished our beer he
invited mu a little further with him down the road. We
came to en open piece of ground in thu Olohe-roail, which
my companion said was a raec.course, although there was
scarcely room to whip a est in it. Near this place stood •
large building, whick I took to be • factory. We stood at
the gate foe a few moments, when I found myself suddenly
seised by two strong men, and hurried into the house,
where I was astonished at seeing men tied down on
straw pallets, and unable to move hand or foot. I
cried oat : tt Goad God! what is this ? Is it • prison? Is
it a madhouse ? I
not mad. Why am 1 brought here ?" I was forcibly un-
dressed, and obliged to lie down on one of the straw
pallets. My clothes were taken away, and the next morn-
ing, when I wanted to get up, I was commanded to lie
still till the doctor saw me. When the doctor came, lie
felt my pulse and spoke to me. He then said, this man is
no more wad than I am. However, I'll see him again
to-morrow morning. On the ensuing morning, when he
saw me, he ordered me to be discharged. And after this
my wile took this warrant for me, although I have been
married to her these four and thirty yearn, and the father
of twelve children, and never struck her a blow during all
that time.

Mr. Yardle —ls it true that be has never struck you ?
but:he would then have struck me if he
had not been prevented. Ile uever wee so happy as
during the three months that he was a Lattcr•da7
Mr. Yardley—Do the Latter-day Sainte make it a part of
their religious practice to cut each other's throats?
Plaintiff—No, sir, it was he who threatened to cut my
throat when I wanted to take him to the church.

Defendant said, his wife becoming one of the Latter-
day Saints, with the assistance of brother Kidmau, a ship-
wright and the preacher induced him to attend some of
their meetings, but he soon saw enough to satisfy him that
brother Kidman and his wife were more than intimately
acquainted, which was also kindly hinted to him by one of
the lady saints. When his wife was lately ill, brothers
Kidman and Henniken called to see her, and ordered her
at once to throw away the devil's medicine, sent in by Dr.
Nit, whom he had called in to attend her, and proceeded
with prayer to anoint her head and body with
oil, on which she started out of bed, exclaiming,
" Glory be to the most High! I'm cured—l'm cured!" I
(continued the defendant) cried, " Why did not you do
that at first, and not put me to the expense of a doctor ?"
Brother Kidman said I should cry, " Rosanna to the
Highest!" and I was inclined to do so, only he happened
to carry the joke too far by telling me that all us saints
were to meet together on Mount Zion, in North America,
and have a bit of bread and cheese with the Almighty. On
another 00CSIKIII, Brother Kidman, on coming down from
his wife's bedroom, said, "Brother Duckett, the Lord
has called you." To which I replied, " Has he ;
then I hare not heard him." Brother Kidman
then told me to seU my farm, and with the money
build a house of Zion to the Lord, away from this cursed
Babylon and the Scarlet Whore. I asked him who was the
Scarlet Lady (suspecting he meant my wife), but he told
me it was the church of England. I then silted him what
he called the church of Rome, to which be answered that
she was a bigger harlot; and when I asked him about
methodism, he said it was the worst of all. Finding what
sort of people I had to deal with, I cut the concern, and my
wife, as I told your worship before, had me taken up as a
madman.

Mr. Yardley—You're no more mad than I am. •hough
the circumstances through which you hare passed were well
calculated to make you so, and the persons who caused your
confinement are amenable (or the consequerem. The war-
rant is dismissed.
