onsweted, "Whom de rat call m thief ?" He said " You
Jew thief. I'll knock. your d head of" Thu word
was scarcely out of his mouth, before the blow followed. He
struck me on the cheek. It was a terrific Mow, and knocked
my hat on to the other side of the road. I was knocked
into the middle of the street. 1 wee going to him to ask
what he meant by that, when "out with hi. foot" and
kicked so till 1 fell Sato the middle of the street again.
When I recovered, I found the door shut. I afterwards
west to make inquiries respecting the house. I saw a mi-
nutest No. Al (the house opposite), cleaning the steps. She
was peseta at the time the sauna was committed. After
the emelt, I crawled over to speak to her. I went home
sad was confined to my bed three days; bat I was confined
to my bons for nearly a month. I had medial advice.
After this I went to % ice•Chaneellor Kintlereley's reset,
and there saw the person who assaulted me. He was is •
gown and wig. Before this I had been to the defendant's
attorney on the subject. I saw the clerk.
Ann le'ard--I sin the wife of James Ward, tri
seller, of West-street, St. James's. On the morning of
27th 1 was engaged as charwoman in Half Moon-street.
I was amusing the step of Ike door of No. 20. and saw Men-
doza tense by. I saw a gentleman standing on the door-
step of No. 27. I he ird Mendoza ask the Restless if he
had any clothes to sell, and be directly called him a "d--
Jee thief, did he think ho hel any clothes to sell?" Men-
doza asked him what he meant, and the gentleman Imme-
diately struck him. I believe that Mr. Woolley was the
gentleman. Mendoza came across the street and spoke to
me. I did not give him my whirrs. then. He came after-
wards to me. I hail never eeen hint before in my life.
Crooersamined-1 have seen him three times. He galled
on me. That gentleman (Mr. Woul'ey) is of the belida
end appearance of the gentleman who assaulted McMillin&
I will nut swear that that gentleman (Mr. 11Lules) In see
the suer I saw.
Re-ezamined -I that Mr. Woolley was thit pew
eon who struck the plaintiff. I thought it • most brutish
thing, and I went in and told the ladies.
Edward Akin, assistant to Mr. M ether-1 attended Mea-
dows medically. His face and 0r,,, were inflamed, and
them were s. remt bruises on his hit kg. I ordered his
to bed, and gave hint a liniment. 1 atteaded hint about
three weeks or a inanth. Ile was seriously injured.
Mr. itobineon addressed the jury in defence, and called
Mr. John Tinton Woolley -1 ani 3 member tit the her.
I revolt, ct the minting in question There was a gentle-
man staying st_my house. Ile is my wife's uncle. I did
not assault anybody en that morning, any more than his
lordship did.
Croseezamined-1 hear) a noise in the street, and I
went to the winilew. Mendoza was standing up. I went
to the window the moment I heard a noise. I never saw
Mendoza upon the ground. The dispute did not last above
a minute. I did not hear any swearing on either side.
I'harles Denjimin Wades -I have been in the army, and
am now living on my property. I was staying at my niece's
bushand's. I was the person who assaulted Mendoza.
('rues-s zarnined—l hare no fixed plate of residence. I
am always moving about. I lire MI various rentals. I
cannot say their amount, as they vary.
Mr. Ilawkins—How do you pass your time? What are
your amusements ?
Witnew.-1 smoke eigars. (Loud laughter.) I walk
about, read the newspapers, and go occasionally to the
theatres. I can't tell all I do. (Laughter.) I never
gamble. I have been in two or three regiments. I was In
the tlth infantry. I left it about 1t415.
Mr. Hawkins replied.
Mr. Baron Martin was of opinion that the defendant had
sot acted properly in concealtng the name of his wife's
uncle from the plaintiff, hut still this was not the question
the airy hail to try; awl it would be impossible to convict
Any on, in the LION of such eviilinee as had heen adduced.
At the same time, he thought that the plaintiff had been
honestly of oinno.n that the defendant was the man who had
aseaulied him, but that he was mistaken Ile must say
that one of the vitae.," hail not been wrong in de-
eerib
og it as a very brutal transaction.
"rho jury found for the • fondant, on the ground that
they believed the plaintiff to have been mistaken.
