This was ►u action part heard last sidings, brought by
the plaintiff, to recover the sum of 411/., for goods supplied
to the defendant, whopsid 431. intocourt, and contested the
residue as an overcharge.
The jury on the conclusion of the evidence found for the
defendant.

horse to plunge very much. Ile remonstrated with them,
but they only chaffed him and oontinued throwing the turf
until they reached the Elephant and Castle, when he called
out for the police to protect him. Finding no one come to
his assistance he crossed to the off side and stopped the
leaden, when the defendant struck him with his whip. At
the same moment one of the men jumped off the coach
and struck him on the head, which caused him to have
black-eyes.
The defendant denied having struck the gentleman at all.
The fact wen there was larking and chaffing all the way
along the road, and the gentleman perhaps had a little too
much of it, but he had no right to cross his leaders. It
was a dangerous thing, and something serious might have
haened.
Combs said that there did not appear to be anything
to blame in the defendant's conduct. Re had charge of a
coach and four horses which on such a reed at that time re-
quired great care, mixt-billy when larking going on on

Mr. Howarth was then charged on a cross summons with
furiously riding and endangering the liven of the persons
in and outside the four-in-hand,
Mr. Combe asked what pace Mr. Howarth was riding?
Stevens—Only very moderate, sir.
Mr. Combe—Then there's an end to this case, as well as
to the charge for furious riding. I should recommend gentle-
men not to throw grass at each other, and Mr. Howarth not
to cross the leaders again, as it might be dangerous to all
parties.
Both summonses were accordingly dismissed.
LAMBETH.

Mr. Henry James Stephenson, and two other gentlemen
belonging to the Surrey Ride Volunteers, applied for a sum-
mons against Mr. Thomas Taylor, the lessee of the Ken-
nington turnpike-gate, for unlawfully demanding and re-
ceiving 3d. for the toll of a cab, for which they claimed
exemption.
The applicants stated that on Saturday last they marched
with their regiment from Kennington-oval to Hyde-park
and back again, and the day being excessively wet, they, as
soon as discharged from duty at the Oval, engaged a oats to
take them home. In passing through the Kenningtoniate,
Mr. Taylor, who was himself on duty at the timer col-
lector, demanded 3d. toll, and though they claimed exemp-
tion from the payment of such an impost, he insisted on,
and was paid that amount. Understanding that the charge
was illegal, and that they were exempt from the
payment of tolls, they had to apply to his
worship for a summons against Mr. Taylor foe =-
lawfully exacting the same. The applicants here directed
the magistrates attention to the exemption claws
in the General Turnpike Act, wherein, amongst the exemp-
tions, it stated, "Or for any carriage conveying volunteer
infantry, or for any hone furnished by, or forany person be-
longing to any corps of yeomanry or volunteer cavalry or
infantry, and rode by him on going to or returning from any
place appointed for and on the days of exercise, inspection,
or review, or on other public duty, provided that such
person shall be dressed in the uniform of his corps and
shall have his arms, furniture, and accoutrement., accord-
ing to the regulations of such oorpe at the time of claiming
exemption."
Mr. Elliott, while doubting their success, told the ap-
plicants they might have a summons if they wished it, and
have the question, which at the present time might be con-
sidered important, set at real
