getting up again when h.• struck me stain. 1 c elicit up
my arm to save it, and the corn, rof tie shovel-MA.le ntruf,
right into my arm at the elbow. I dropped my arm, and
said, '• My arm is tirileii," :tad he ssid, '• VI,. you —.
and I will break year hi ad." Ile instantly raissd
the shovel and struck me on the head, and I
tell down insensible, and remained so for about two hours.
When byton tame back 1 was 4letvlirg from the nose,'

la cross-tearaination he admitted that he hail been twice
in prison, and that once he was convicted for three months,
and on the other occasion he was acquitted. He denied
that lie attempted to strike the defendant first. About six
o'clock in the morning he went to a eht mist's, and after-
wards he went to the Downy, sail remained there until teo
or three o'clock, and at night he slept at a beer-house. The
day afterwards he went to Mr. Fennell, a surgeon, at
insbletton. _

Mr. Edwin Fenn 11, the surgeon, stated that there was a
severe bruise upon the plaintiff's arm, and the skin was a
little broken. He constantly complained of a pain in his
head. Witness attended him from the beginning of April
till the cud of June, at first daily, and afterwards entry
other day. Plaintiff complained of a singing in his ears and
deafness, which frequently followed a blow on the head.
In answer to this case, witnesses were called on the other
side.

The defendant himself stated that he went to the saddle-
room a little bears nine o'clock, and the plaintiff was there,
partly dressed, smoking his pipe. Witntss told him to go
to bed Led put out the fire and light. About eleven o'clock
he saw a light in the saddle-room, and he went there and
found the plaintiff getting up, dressing and preparing to go
out. He inquired when he was going, and the plaintiff
answered him impertinently, end threatened to bundle him
out. The plaintiff put his fist up to strike him, and wit-
ness, who had his left arm in a sling, took up the shovel
with his right hand. The plaintiff struck at witness, and
the shovel touches his arm slightly. Witness n struck
at him at all. Witness had enjoined the grooms not to be
both oat at the same time. It was necessary the horses
should be watched, especially as be had borate then about
to ran at Epsom.
Cress-exernined—He was a good-tempered man. lie
admitted that he had been twice before a magistrate, once
for taking a dog into a train, and another time for tiding
too far on the railway and refusing to pay the extra fare.
On both these occasions he was accused of amaultr. Ile had
never horsewhipped the plaintiff. He had driven witness's
wife out, but witness never horsewhipped the pair of them
when they came back. He truck the plaintiff, and
he never in his life beat any other groam.
Mrs. Saint sei•!—She went into the saddle-room on the
night in question to call her husband, and both the plain-
tiff and defendant were quite quiet, and did not appear to
have been quarrelling. The next morning she paid plain-
tiff his wages, and he then complained that his master bad
broken his arm.

John Leyton, the other groom, said that when he got
home the plaintiff told him what had happened, to much
the same effect as stated in his evidence. The wound on
the arm appeared slight, and there was • bit of rag over it,
and a little blood, just as if a finger had been cut.
The jury found a ♦erdict fur the plaintiff—damages 201.

gumming the " Larder," and was there on the day in
