COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE.T.-W- ZONEBDM

Mr. Monk moved f r a new trial in this case, on tho
ground that the verdict, which the j try returned for the
plaintiff with £.lOO damages, was against the weight of
evidence. The action, which was tried before Me. Baron
Channel', at Liverpool, was for ass cult and personal injury
to the plaintiff. by which it WAS alleged he would utti-
mately lose the sight of his eye The defendants were
represented by separate counsel, and the trial represented.

the other. The deendant for whom he appeared,
Faeroe, was the keeper of an inn which stood hsl
way between Manchester and Stockport. It Uppea”ed
that plainiff had been given into custody aud got into
trouble respecting some bills which he had offered for sale
to a person named Syddell. in whose employ Cross was as
salesman. Prickett was a person of no substance, and
the great object of the plaintiff was to include Ferns is
the parties who committed the assault, so that he mzght
be responsible for damages, in tie event of any being
obtained. According to the plaintiff's evidence, some
quarrel took place in his house about some words which
were used re-peering Syddall and resented by Cross.
Ferns ordered the parties out of the inn, and turned out
the gas in the room where they were The plaintiff said
he didn't know who struck him—" I believe it was Ferns,
it must have been Ferns I didn't see Prickett io any-
thing." Lord Campbell : Is i a ease of conflicting evidence?
M. Monk replied in the affi-mstive. Lord C impb2ll:
Wag the judge dissatisfied with the verdict ? Mr. Monk
said he was unable to state want passed in the mini of the
judge, bat he readily asgen'ed to an application to stay
execution. Lord Campbell thought that was strong prints
facie evidence that he was not entirely sativfl,cl with the
verdict. Unless the judge thought the jury were wrong in
their verdict this court would not interfere. Before giving
judgment they would consult their learned brother Chan-
nel. Judgment deferred.
