igel=ar isa and seas were istredeesd, sad the

time eheereiug that be was stupid, ar something to that

the imp of tea and throve it at him. The plaintiff them threw

said that ease ft had been 'swatted the plaintiff appeared

The witness mid he believed be was employed by Mr.
Ley, the clerk to the How of Co..,seme to stunt the num-
ber of sasses to the monster chartist petition of the 10th of
April, but he said he was also itsgsged upon other business
connected with parliamentary agency, and wu at present
employed in conducting a bill through the Reuss of Com-
mon.
Mr. Jaws said if Is was not • parliamentary wet. it was
no reason why he ahead be knocked about is tit gunner.
(A laugh.)
Mr. Justice Mauls said certainly not, but still it was well
that they should know who parties really were. Every one
knew what was generally meant by the term parliamentary
agent, and a person who was engaged merely in counting,
signatures to petitions, or some such subordinate away,
could hardly be said to be a puliamentary ups! ,t any more
than a sheriff's bailiff's essistant would be justified in saying
that he was a member of the I egal profession. (A laugh.)
Mr. Creasy, in addressing the jury for the defendant, cha-
racterised the fiction as being one of a most trumpery cha-
raster, and which ought
superior court. He said it was perfectly clear that the parties
were all partially intoxicated, and that the plaintiff had
aggravated the defendant, and induced him to act as he had
done; and he milled upon the jury to discourage such pro-
ceedings as the present by giving the plaintiff the maw
coin in the realm as damages for the assault of which he
complained.
Mr. Justice Merle left the ease to the u, who returned
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages one shilling.
Mr. Justice Mauls (to the jury)—You find a general
verdict for the plaintiff for the assault with the tea and the
chair ?
The Foreman—We do, my lord ; we give him one shilling
damages.
