Il(fl1E CIRCUIT.

CIII3.3ISFORD, 31Auen 9.

PALMER V. Cll.lll-_ ANT) DOYE.

This was an acti,n of awatit and barmy.
The deferdait liilbv plcade I that the plaintiff had committed
the first asvailt, and boy,: that he, as servant to liilhy, had acted
in dctimce of his maNtcr.

....
Mr. llnormu icx, with whom iota Mr. DowttNn, openedrthe
plaintifra case, and called tour wiimesses, who prerctl the following
facts :......

The plaintiff was driver of the Punmow coach, and the defend-
ant part proprietor of the old St trtiiird coach, to which the former
was in opposition. On the lath Nov. last, the plaintiff stopped
to take up a little girl as passenger, on Epping Forest. The de-
fendant Gilby, wh.) was driving the old Stortford coach, came up,
immediately after, and ordered Pnye, his horsckccper, to take the
girl's luggage, which he directly proceeded to do, by taking her
bandbox front the footboard of the plaintiff's roach, where it
had just been placed. A struggle took place between the plain-
tiff and Doye far the bandbox, which was immediately torn to
piece'. Therlciendant flilby then got down firm his box,and collared
the plaintiff, who, in his own defence, rtruck hint a blow. The
defendant Doye then struck the plaintiff two blows, and after a
scuffle the little girl, who was altnest terrified to death, was put
into the plaintiff's coach. After the plaintiff had resumed his scat
on the box, the defendant Gilby struck him over the head and
shoulders with his whip. The effect of this was to frighten the
plaintifrs horses, which became unmanageable and turned the coach
round upon the lock, at the imminent peril of upsetting. Under
these circumstances. the present action was brought.
Mr. Jessup (with whom was Mr. Anot.ett us) stated the de-
fendant's case, aid called four witnesses, one of whom was in du
employment of. Gilbv, and three others who saw only parts of the
transaction. They denied that the defendant Gillay had committed
the first assault, and deposed, that what Doye did was in his mas-
ter's defence. They all admitted that the defendant Gilby had
struck the plaintiff over the head with the thong of his whip, after
he hail returned his box.

31T. BRODERICK replied.
111 r. Justice li3T summed up the evidence on both sides.
The jury found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Als.

HONEST STREET-11F.EPE29.-I"cstertlay John Byeeld and
James Corr.!, two journeymen slaters, were broughtbefore Sir
HICIIAkD BIRNIE from Pit. Martin's watch-house, charged by
J. W. Lowe and William Roberts, on suspicion of stealing two
children's stools and a basket of tools.

_— -
lt oppeered by the et■:ement of By!leld (the worthy Magistrate
haring dismissed .be charge arainst nun, and turned the tables on
the accesces), that he and his fellow-workman, Carrel, were return.
ing home frimi their work, about half-past Light on Monday night,
when near the Horse Guards they were stopped by Lowe and Ro-
berts, who said they were officers oral desired to know what they were
carrying : they immediately informed them, a•d also told them the
name of their eniployer, Mr tstrnthers, a slater residing in Parlia-
ment-street, by whom they had been employed for a number of
years ; they then said that they should take them to the watch.
house, where they were charged on suspicion of having stolen the
stools.

Lowe and Roberta, in defence, said that they were appointed by
the Deputy Steward of Westminster as street-keepers, and pro-
duced a papor, which appointed the one for St. Anne's parish., and
the other for Itond-street.

Sir R. Btu!: it: mid that the Deputy Steward had ho such
power ; but admitting that he had, what business had they to ap-
prehend any person at Whitehall ? and in consequence of Bond and
!Berrie, two of the conductors of the patrol, stating that they had
known them far the last ss or seven years as reputed thieves, and
that Roberts had been placed at the bar, Sir Richard ordered them
to find bail, to answer any bill that might be preferred against them
at the next Westminster Sessions ; intimating at the same time that
he would take care to see the labourers righted.
Lowe and Roberts not being provided with bail, they were hand-
ed over to the care of the gaoler.
R LBO ROUG EI-STREET.

Gat. I. LW T R res peetabiiiwciini young man was
brought before F. A. Roe, Esq. charged under the following 'St-
ew:nu:xi-es :

Mr. Bond, of Ilanover-street, while retiring to rest at one
o'clock in the morning, thought he heard a noise as of stones being
thrown against a window of his house by way of signal, and sus-
pecting it was a design to rob his house, lie opened his window,
alien. to his surprise, he saw a light in his servant's bed-room at
that unseasonable hour. Determined to know the reason of such an
unusual occurrence, he armed himself with a sword, and descended
cautiously to his servant's room door, but could not obtain admis-
sion ; however, a fluent of using force induced the agitated female
so open the door, and Mr. Bond entered : he demanded who she
had there ; she replied, " No one ." however • upon searching
about he discovered the prisoner in bed and undressed, presenting
every appearance of his intention to take up his quartets there for
Me night ; the Fair C..taisel had not at that time retired to rest. Mr.
Rood desired the defendant to tkots himself, which he immediately
and quietly complied with, and fur the remainder of the night he
was compelled to exchange the eornlbrt of his fair inamorata's
bed, for the secluded depths of St. George's watch-house.
Mr. ROE said the defendant had placed himself in a very awk.
*aid situation ; fe brides the danger, in the case of any resist-
ance, of being se. rely wounded by Mr. Bond, the girl, through
his folly, had been ruined he character and reputation.
Defendant—No, Sir, the girl is not ruir.ed.
31r. Ror said he was glad of it, and as Mr. Dein, did not wish to
proceed further, he would discharge the dcfandant ; botbe betZ

Mis would commie estimation to lien rot to aiirupt to take up
quarters with gentlemen's servant girls.
The defendant WWI then discharged.

DEPLETION GP INF.INTS BY BLEEDING.

[FROM a CORRESPONDENT.II
This practice, which we fear is in very many instances carried to
great excess. has lately occupied the attention of some of our most
eminent medical pnwtitismers. The following extract front the
opinion given on tile subject, by the principal Physician to the
Royal Universal Infirmary for Children, Dr. J. 11. Davis, will
beread whit it:Jere/it :
. " I have no neseation in stating. that the practice of bleeding
in the arm, but esp,cially by means Of cupping glasses and leeches,
applied to the head and other parts of the body, in many diseases
incident to children, particularly when they attack under five years
of age, is too of.en unhappily carried to a greater extent than is
either safe or ite..estwry. I have frequeinly known death to ensue
front too copious an abstraction of blood by 'Etches, and I have
f ever noticed with fear and concert, the application of PI or '2.tl
leeches to children under HI or 12 months old, in the short space of
4or A days. This, 1 ant aware, ni cuqs,;,ifi.ung termed decided
practice, bet 1 whil vein ore to ads!, that it is di., ;ded!y had. It
must he obvi..us„ thnt the Ten:Lily i • not in proportion to the indi-
-1 vidnurs stren:pk and powers of life. Even in those dangemus
discuses—ivt!iiii,,,iation M the brain rind lu:•gs, I doubt whether
Weeding by various means, is rot Ito freely employed. I would
not have it undo: stood that I Rlll ay:.rse to the abstraction of blood ;
on the contrary, I ant the most strenttotts advocate for it. It is the
indiscriminate a:.:1 excessive use of an invaluable remedy, that is
justly to be feared. and ought to be of posed. I have never met
with one case in :111,000 instances of acute disease. in which I would
abstract from all infant under 12 momhs of age. 14 or It: ounces of
blood. In the ”rd;.sce,/ :,./ mi, the application of h 1 leeches will be
frequently followed by the loss of 1:14.,(' titan that quantity."

In the Court of Chancery yesterday, the Lord Chan-
cellor, on tukirg his scat on the Il_neh, won through the
ceremony of insiituting Mr. Ferrar as a Master of the
Court.
