APPIIILET • 111•111—AMICAIILl HOUSWMIPPIIIIO.

This was an action to recover eawsges for an Illegal eject-
ment. Mr. Whitsbant and Mr. Reyes were for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. H•sefrty and Mr. Wilson for the defendant.
The suit arose out of extreordinary circumstances. The
litigant parties had been on friendly terms, the plaintiff
being • coal merchant, and the defendant • corn merchaat,
at Brigs ; sad the plaintiff having rested a coal wharf from
the defendant In March last then was • protectionist
meeting at Brigg, one of the speskm at which was a Mr.
Richardson, a red-hot protectionist, and a hearty
denouncer of everything savouring of .free trade. The day
I after the poittleal meeting, the plaintiff and defendant went
together to hunt with Lord Yarborough's fox-hounds, and
whilst on the road the merits of the speaken at the meeting
were discussed. Mr. Man, the defendant, placid his ad-
miration upon the eloquence of Mr. Richardson, while Mr.
Apperley, the plainti , pretended to be so cbtuse as not to
se. any merit in Mr. Richardson's tropes and figures. " I
think he is Om Gant speaker in the world," said the
defeadant. " I think he vomited forth a gnat
deal of d—d pub," tejoined the plaintiff. At this
unkind cut against protectiunist seal, Mr. Man's patriotism
warmed into extreme fierceness, he got cff his horse, and
began tsi horsewhip his friend, Mr. Apperlsy, surprised at
this extraordinary mode of enforcing a political argument,
and doubting its propriety, then jumped off his horse and
begin to horsewhip Mr. Harr, and so they belaboured each
oth, till both were satisfied. This "amicable horsewhip•
ping," as Mr. Hisufrey called it, did not however spoil their
sport for that day: them proceeded to cover together,
and behaved la the Geld as though nothing had
passed between them. It turned out, however, that
the morning's deenioas were too hot for the inning's re-
flections ; sad Mr. Apperley, when he got home, seat Mr.
Man a challenge ; and Mr. Man net Mr. Appsrley • notice
to quit his coal-wharf. The thing passed off fora day or
two, till at length Mr. Man caused to be removed from his
wharf all the goods and ebattsb thereon belonging to the
plaintiff, bad them placed on the turnpike-road, and refused
' further Recess to the cool yard. Mr. Appeiley, vibe bad been
doing a good hastens., weld not get another wharf, • cargo
of coals consigned to him was detained on demurrage for 13
days, and he had not been able to set up in business since.
The defence was that the plaintiff was not • yearly tenant
of the coal-yard, that he occupied it only permissively, and
that his occupation was terminable at will. Oa the other
hand, half yearly receipts were produced for the rent, signed
by the defendaat
The jury retuned • vadist for the plaintiff; damages,
