, ACTION FOR ASSAULT---141,
WOOD V. LAW.—The plaintiff
tr.! this action sought to recover damages from Mr. John

Shortly after he saw Mr. Law an reig lady
return to the offices and he then went to his own Next morning he received a letter from Mr. Law,
contained the following Passage :.-« you must was

insult offered o the lady who called upon me ; and if Pm

Your superior." The defendant's brother brought the letter
to plaintiff, and plaintiff told him he had offered no offence,
alld, as he was not to be bullied into an apology, he would

e same

go to defendant and explain all that had occurred. Plaintiff
accordingly went to defendant's office, and the moment be
got in defendant said, " your apology.;" but before plaintiff
'Could answer the defendant knocked him down, and struck
-him several times with a stick over the head and shoulders.
The prisoner was cross-examined by Mr. Atherton, with
the view of showing that he had made familiar and unwar-
rantable advances to the lady. He denied that he told her
several times be wanted to speak to her in Mr. Jackson's
office, but admitted that he looked after her down the street
to see where she was going. He denied that he said to
Jackson "here comes one of Law's women," and affirmed
that he only said "here is a young woman looking for
Llw." He admitted that in speaking to Mr. Law's brother
he said, " the young woman either was mistaken or was
a damned liar "—or words to that effect. Mr. Wainwright,
surgeon, of Manchester, deposed that the plaintiff had
received considerable injuries which made him an invalid
for three weeks. His Lordship suggested that the case
should be adjusted between the parties, but after some con-
versation Mr. Atherton stated that his client did not con-
ceive he could now refrain from having the whole case gone
into. Mr. Atherton then addrrssed the jury for the
defendant. He explained that the defendant did not, and
could not, conceive that the assault he had committed was
justifiable in point of law, but he desired to show that, so
far as an assault could possibly be justified, it was justified
by impertinent and indecent conduct on the part of the
plaintiff. The evidence of the young lady, who was a client
of Mr. Law's, and a' friend of his family, was then taken.
She deposed that when she knocked at the defendant's
