BROMPION COUNTY COUItT—YEsTEnDAY.
BEIONI C. Ano", Esq.
SADLER T. HOWARD. AN ACTRESS CUASORD WITH AN
ASSAULT.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages of
the defendant, Mies Kate Howard, an actress, for having,
on the 24.11 of June lost, severely flossed the plaintiff's wife
with a large postillion's whip, from the house to the garden
gate, and kicked her out into the street. The damages were
laid at 51.
On the day before the assault complained of took
place, some difference bad arisen between Lord Bury
and the defendant; and that the litter, who was at
that time performing at the Lyceum Theatre, directed her
coachmen to drive her and Hiss Connor (who was staying
with her on a vieit, and whe was also an setress at the same
theatre) to the Strand, where Miss Howard had taken lodg-
ings. On the following day Miss Howard was informed that
the whole of her plate and furniture were bniog removed.
She accerdingly proceeded to her residence Herrington
House, Old Brompt, n, accompanied by Miss Connor, and
finding that the information she had received was correct
she interrogated the plaintiff's wife, who informed her that
she had given up the plate to Lady Bur)'s butler, her
ladyship having sent for it. Miss Howard then became
very much excited and committed the assault complained
of.
In cross-examination by Hr. Lewis, the plaintiff's wife
said she was engaged by his lordship to look after and pro-
tect Hist Howard. She denied that Miss Howard bad
quietly requested her to leave the house before the assault.
The house was Miss Howard's own property, but it wee
purchased for her by his lordship. Miss Howard was very
violent and very strong, in more ways than one. On seeing
that the furniture was being removed, she exclaimed, "my
God what does all this mean," and struck at Lord Busy,
who was ob:iged to be removed. His lordship had sines
become insane.
Mr. Lewis, for 'he defeadant said—Lord Bury had acted es
Miss Howard's guardian, and had r.o m^re to do, except to
look after her welfare, than any gentleman present. This
his lordship did at the request of Miss Howard's uncle, and
with the auction of Lady Bury. Lord Bury had inundated
Miss Howard's house with furniture, and it was supposed
that it was the large purchase' which his lordship had made
at a sale at Pimlico which brought on his unfortunate
malady. Miss Howard had been deprived of furniture to
the extent of 2001., notwithstanding Lady Bury had re-
turned every article that was taken to her house. Hiss
Howard had received great provocation, and had used no
more force than was absolutely necessary. As fur the " kick"
complained of, that was a mere accident in shutting the
gate.

Mr. Lewis then called Miss Connor, who deposed that
she had frequently visited Miss Howard, and was p atuv
that that lady was never under the praection of his lordship.
Heard Miss Howard request the complainant to leave the
house. Did not see her use a whip or any violence. She
merely handed the complainant out at the gate.
Cross-examined : Miss Howard had a whiffs in her hand,
with which it was her custom to flog the dog.. Did not re-
member hearing Miss Howard realire a letter which she
had written to his lordship, and her sayirg : " That will be
• pill for him."
His Honour suggested that as there did not appear to have
been any serious injury sustained, the sum of 10s. should be
awarded for the assault
Mr. Lewis thought that nominal damages would 'dike.
Ile was however anxious to remove the imputation which
had been cast upon Miss Howard's moral character, as
she had • public as well as private character to stutain.
Miss Howard was then called, and negatived the plaintiff's
statement as to her connexion with Lord Bury.
His Honour intimated that Ludy Bury ought to have been
called, and awarded damps—tea shilliugs.
