COURT OF KING'S RF.M.:II, OCILLA lALL, Jots O.
Before Lord Et t.rmIOROUOW.
WATIIEN, alio V. WATSON AND °TIM!.
This was an adlion brought by the Plaintiff, a Gen-
tleman of Somercetshire, against the Defendant,
Watson, the book-keeper at the Lamb-inn, Bath,
and two other persons who were constables, for as-
saulting him, and violently forcing him to quit the
mail coach, in which he had taken a seat from Bris-
tol to Madly rouAli. It appeared by the testi-
mony of the Plaintiff's brother that he had applied
at the coach office at Bristol to take a place for
London, and that the Plaintiff was desirous of tak-
ing another as far as Marlborough. The Plaintiff
proposed to pay for his place, but as he was uncer-
uin whether he should proceed farther than Bath,
he was desired to pay when he came there, or at
Marlborough. When the coach arrived at Bath it
turned nut that places had been taken for London,
and consequently the Plaintiff, who was only going
to Marlborough, was told he must give way to
them. This he M the mos.. peremptory manner re-
fused to do ; upon which the Defendants, by main
force, got him out of tile coach and left him to pro-
ceed to Marlborough as well as he could. The
Plaintiff was obliged to perform the remainder of
the journey in a post-chaise. On the part of the
two constables an objeBion was taken, that the a&ion
had been brought out of the county where the as-
sault was committed, and the Plaintiff was non-
v.:iced as to them. With regard to the Defendant
'Watson, it appeared that he had insisted upon the
Plaintiff's quitting the coach, because his name did
not appear in the way-bill, and another passenger
was entered to go to London ; but the assault hav-
ing been proved, the Jury gave a verdict against
him, with One Shilling damages.
WATHCN, ESQ. sr. WILSON.

This was an anion by the same Plaintiff against
the Proprietor of the coach, to recover the amount
of the hire of the post-chaise from Beth to Marlbo-
rough. The same faas were proved as in the last
trial, and the Defendant contended that it not only
was contrary to his general custom to book a pas-
senger from Bristol to Marlborough, but his book-
keeper positively swore he had only contra!ted to
convey the Plaintiff to that place, provided there
should be no person booked at Bath to ,•,o to Lon-
don. The Jury considered that the Plaintiff had
entered the coach at Bristol, under an ass:lra:we that
he was to be taken to Marlborough, and therefore
they protbottn.;eJ a verdk in his favour, with da-
mages to the amount of what it had cost him for
the post-eh:Use.

COURT OF COMMON HAAS, Juxt 9.
Before Lord ALVANLEV.
LYON 1.1. nARTIN AND OTHERS.
ODD FELLOWS.

This cause kept the Court. and auditors in a conti-
nued roar of laughter.
Mr. Serjcant SHEPHERD said, this was an aCtion
for an assault of so violent and unprovoked a nature,
that he could not conceive what justification could
possibly be alledged on the part of the Defendants.
The parties were members of a club, who went by
the name of Odd Fellows, and very odd fellows
they certainly were, if they made a praftice of con-
dating themselves in the manner he was about to
state. He understood they had a President, who
was neither called Speaker or Chairman, but had the
more lofty and dignified title of Most Noble Grand.
This sublime office was filled by a person of the
name of Harris, the son of the Defendant's attorney,
and as such he was the spokesman upon all matters
cf weight and importance. On one of the evenings
of their meeting a debate ensued, and the Most Noble
Grand, who had a pre-eminent seat allotted to him,
made a motion that trustees should be appointed to
keep the money of the society, and that himself, as
Most Noble Grand, should be one of those trustees.
His client, the Plaintiff, recolleCted there was not
much money in the strong box of the society, but,
on the contrary, that they were indebted to their
landlord; be opposed the motion, judiciously ob-
servin7, that before they appointed trustees to keep
their money, they should have some money to be
kept. One of the Odd Fellows, instead of moving
the previous question, or the other orders of the day,
moved, that the opposer of the Most Noble Grand': mo-
tion should be knocked down. This motion was not
put to the vote, but was carried by acclamation.
Lord ALVANLEY asked, whether the Defendants
meant to justify under the orders of the house ?
Mr. Seijeant SHiPHERD said, that as it was ne-
cessary, in order to knock a man down, the assail-
ants should first get up, and approach him, these
Odd Fellows accordingly rose en masse to attack the
Plaintiff. While they were venting their rage
against his client, one of them desired him to get up
and fight, a challenge it was not very likely he
should, at that time, be disposed to accept. One of
the Defendants immediately exclaimed—g, Go it—
away with it.—lt is a shilling warrant affair, and
I'll rand by you." The Learned Counsel said it
was necessary these Odd Fellows should bet taught
that there was such a th:ng as law. However ridi-
culous this affair had begun, there could be no excuse
for the conduit of the Defendants. The Plaintifr

- _
Lad done nothing more than exercised the fair privi-
leges of the house, by moving an amendment,
which it was competent in him to propose. How-
ever, Mr. Martin had thought proper to laugh at
this assault, and suppose it would be satisfied by a
shilling warrant, he trusted the Jury would view it
in a different light, and make him laugh on the
wrong side of his mouth.
Moses Emanuel examined by
Mr. Serjeant Best.—Pray, Sir, what are you ?
I am an Odd Fello,.v.
Tt!?.t. may take fur granted upon the view ; but
what are you beside ?
A glass-cutter.
The witness said he was a member of the lodge,
hich met in Middlesex-street, Whitechapel. On the
night of the assault, Abraham and Jacob Martin,
and the other Defend.,:st, Mr. Bendaun, were there.
Bendaun was Vat Grand. A motion had been made
by the Mart Nostt Grand, that there would be a trus-
tee to hold the money of the lodge, when Brother
Lyon said, there was no necessity for a trustee, for
the landlord was suficient while the lodge was in
his debt. Upon this, words ensued, and Jacob Mar-
tin struck Lyon, and cat his lip in several places.
Abraham Martin seconded him, and Bendaun took
up a quart pot, and flung it at Lyon, which struck
him on the side. When the Plaintiff was down, and
overhelmed by his opposes, Bends= desired

Itim to get up, and fight. He declined, saying he
Was not of a pugnaciops disposition • upon which
Bendaun took up his fist, and struck him again.
Abraham Martin exclairned—" Go it, go it—Give it
him.—A one shilling warrant will pay for it all."—
This was addressed- to Jacob Martin and Bendaun.
Most Noble Grand said," you have beat him enough,
do not give him any more, or you will kill him."
Their fists went so quick, that the witness could
not enumerate the blows. The Most Noble Grand ob-
serving that the pots and bottles were flying about,
ordered the witness to take them away. On his
cross-examination, he said, he had been an Odd Fel-
low twelve months he could not say he knew so
much of the laws of the society as the Mats Noble Grand,
but he knew most of the statutes and ordinances ;
he was nut apprized of a law which required, as a
qualification before an Odd Fellow was made Nat
Noble Grand, that he should have knocked down half
a dozen watchmen, broke a dozen lanterns, and been
indicted for an assault. The laws were all written
in a book.
It was objeded, that, as they were kges scripts,
the statutes themselves ought to be produced, and
that oral testimony was inadmissible.
The witness said, the lodge had nor long opened
when the assault was committed, and none of the
Brothers were drunk. The Mort Noble Grand order-
ed him to attend, as there was to be a committee.
His office was that of Lord lYarden, and his duty
was to snuff the lights.
Moses Israel and Nathan Nathan, two other Odd
Fellows, corroborated, in every respell, the tes-
timony of the Right Honourable the Lord Warden.
Mr. Serjeant Beer described this as a trumpery
Saion, unv.-erthv the consideration of the Jury. If
causes of this kind were encouraged by giving da-
mages, the whole time of the Court would be occu-
pied with them. They were only important to the
attorney who brought them. He submitted, that
the smallest possible damages would be sufficient.
What was the true state of the transadion
parcel of silly young men, calling themselves Odd
Fellows, met to amuse themselves—a ridiculous
motion was made—abuse followed, and was suc-
ceed:a by a blow, and a bloody nose. He was per-
suaded the Plaintiff was a man, who would willingly
receive a worse beating than the Defendants had
given him everyday in the week for five shillings.
it was to be observed, that the principal and ring.
leader was Bendaun, who had adually paid the
Plaintiff's attorney 31. as a peace offering. He
trusted the Jury would treat this Odd Fellow, the
Plaintiff, as he deserved.

Lord A LVANLEY said, as to the payment of 31.
in sa!isf.taion, had not been proved ; the Jury ought
to put it entirely out of the question. He hoped,
if these Odd Fellows did not behave a little better,
the landlord would not suffer them to meet any lon-
ger at his house.
With regard to the verdia the Jury would cur-
cite their own judgment.
The Jury gave a verdict, for the Plaiatif.Da.
mages Twenty Shillinv.

RALLY V. aucitsyst.t.
The conduit of the Defendant was truly described
by Mr. Serjeant Su t, rates) to have been most ras-
cally. •
The Plaintiff, Sarah Balls, was a young woman
a servant in the family of Mr. Catley, at Camber.
well. The Defendant was a Gardener at the saute
place, and this anion was brought under the follow.
ing circumstances, which were fully substantiated:
The Defendant went to the Plaintiff, and telling her
he had a debt to pay, persuaded her to accept a Bill
of Exchange for the sum of 101.—he drew one di.
retied to Sarah Balls, describing her as living in
Chancery-lane. The Girl, unconscious of any
fraud meditated against her, signed her name.
The Defendant then applied to a Mr. Wright, to
whom he owed 15s. telling him he had a good bill,
and would pay him, if he would give him the dif-
ference. Mr. Wright did so, and upon its becom-
ing due, he walked up and down Chancery-lane,
looking at every door for the same of Mrs. Balls,
little thinking it was Sarah Balls of Camberwell,
with whom he was slightly acquainted. He accor-
dingly hastened over to the Defendant, who told
him he would take up the bill in the course of the
day : the Defendant afterwards called upon him,
and wished him to deliver up the bill upon a
promise that he would pay him next day ; this
Mr. Wright refused. Finding the Defendant did
not come forward to pay, he again went over
to his house ; in the mean time Sarah Balli
began to think of the bill she had set her name
to, and she went with her sister to the Defendant to
enquire whether it was taken up; she had heard it
had been paid to a Mr. Wright. The Defendant
assured her it was settled, and that he had it in his
pocket, but he refused to shew it her. She quitteat
his house, and on her return home she met Mr.
Wright, and enquired of him whether a bill accepted
by Sarah Balls had been paid ? Mr. Wright said it
was not, but that he w(,old either make Buckwell
pay it or arrest Sarah 8a11.., if he could find ALM The
Plaintiff, agitatetkr.nd alarmed lest she should lose
her place and be ruined, stated how she had been
imposed upon, and begged him for God's sake to
take 51. which was all she had in the world, and
she would immediately go to her mistress, tell her
the whole story, and request her to lend her the
other 51. ; this Mr. Wright readily agreed to ; Mrs.
Catley lent the money, and the bill was taken up.—
After this the Defendant sent his wife to the Plain-
tiff, telling her there was something concerning the
bill which might bring him into trouble, and ear-
nestly entreated she would destroy it, and he would
pay her in a few days. This she consented to, and
in the presence of her sister burnt the bill. The
Defendant, instead of paying her, most infamously
denied the existence of any debt whatever. Fortu-
nately the Plaintiff was able, by means of her sister
and Mr. Wright, to prove the whole of this nefari-
ous transaction, and she had a verdidt for her
money. •
Lord At.vainsv said, a more wicked case, on
the part of the Defendant, be had never heard of.
As to the girl she deserved to be whipped for her
folly and credulity; he hoped it would be a warning
to her never again to put her name to a bill.
The Defendant was hissed as he quitted the Court.

SOU7II7.IRK ELECTION.
THIRD DAR.

The friends of Sir Timm As TORT ON appeared to
cows forward on this clay more nutucrousl♦ than
on either of the preceding days ; the majority on
the side of Mr. T !anti ey were twenty-six votes, and
the true state of the poll at closing, was declared
by Sir Warta, LEwts, the Iligh Bailiff, to stand
ths;s;
For the Right Hon. George Tierney 10R7
For Sir Thomas Turton - - Hit;

Mr. TIERNEY) in his address to the populace
stated, that he was extremely sorry to say, his in
terest had not been so strongly supported on tha.
day as to answer the expelittions he had enter.
tained on Wednes 'sly. There had appeared a majo.
city against him iii some of the parishes during the
day's poll ; and if he spoke candidly, he could not
do otherwise than express his apprehension of loosing
the eleaion, if his friends did not afford bins more
assistance on the following day than he had received
on that. He had obtained a small majority; it
was not so great as he.expeaed to find it, hut the
same was sufhcient if maintained; and he did not
hesitate to place that dependance upon the exer-
tions of those who had already interested tle m-
selves in his support, whit':, he flatterA him-
self, would decidedly place him above the inte-
rest of the worthy Baronet, (shouts of applause
from the sllators). The only way he had to
account fat not having procured as great a rnajo.
rity on that day as on Wednesday was, what he had
before alluded to, the half-guineas which had heen
administered by the friends of the worthy Baronet
in the parish of St. George (long and repexed accla-
mations—no bribery, &r. &c.) for which he again re-
peated he would, as soon as necessary evidence
could be procured, prosecute the parties for bribery
(Nuzzo / Nesse !) 1 le returned thanks to his fi iends
for the favours they had afforded, and the solicitude
which had been shcwn for his success, and hoped
they would not fail to exert themselves on the day
following, by coming forward to give their votes with
the same inclination which they had shewn at the
commencement of the poll; by their endeavours,
which he could not be too sensible of, he had still
a reliance on success. lie knew it had been said
by the worthy Baronet and others, that the influ-
ence of Government had been used to procure votes
in his favour (expresthns of disapprobation among the
populace, biasing, &c.) the charge was groundless,
nor did he know of any applications having been
made to his voters through such a channel, and '
the change which had been imputed to his princi-
ples was also unfounded. He supported Ministers
when they were right, and resisted them when he
found they were wrong (I/New ! some ex-
claimed no turn coats) He again expressed his grati-
tude to the friends who had supported him, and
requested their attendance on the next day's poll,
when he expelled to convince the worthy Baronet,
that the latter had no probability of success in this
Sir Dimes TURTON called the attention of the
strati:stars to the state of the poll, and returned
for the efforts made by his voters in his fa-
vour. Hs again repeated what he had said on the
preceding day, namely, that he had a greater num-
beer of votes in reserve than the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, which would appear to be the case at the close
of the next day's poll ; also that it was obstinacy
to persist in opposing of him (cheering). His op-
poser had endeavoured to obtain the interest of the
Eleaors, by imputing bribery to him and his friends,
and by threats of prosecution on that charge bad
attempted to attraa their attention • but it was all in-
vention, nothing of the kind had taken place (Nuzzo!
Hesse) It was the Right Hon. Gentleman who
had effefied illegal interest, and he would again re-
peat, that persons holding situations under the East
India Company, the Trinity Company, and many
commercial houses, had been influenced to vote for
the Treasurer of the Navy. He had made use of
no bribery; his voters had supported him from that
principle which they had formerly supported the
Right Hon. Gentleman of the' Treasury (Long
rap cession of approbation.) He had to mate an ob-
servation upon a wrong statement which had ap-
peared in a public newspaper. It had been inserted
that Mr. Tierney had asked him, "if he did not
hold a place under the Crown as Magistrate and
Chairman of the Sessions ?" insinuating that a pe-
cuniary advantage arose from the same. This was
not true; the Right Honourable Gentleman did
not ask such a question, he could not have enter-
tained such an idea; all that could be imputed to
him was, his he- ing
.expended nearly the whole of
his time and fortune in support of the justice of .e fd-
mini:friction. (Piazza! Piazza !) During the time
of service, in his judicial situation, could any man
say he had taken a bribe to prevent justice? (No, Nu,
No.) Had any individual occasion to complain of
his inattention to investigate the cause of complaint,
or that satisfaCtion was not imparted to such as
were entitled to the same according to justice ? (Ap-
plause, No !No !) He observed, there was no me-
rit to be derived in having performed his duty;
but he mentioned those fats to prove, that the
question alluded to could not be. asked with
propriety—(Hssta.l lissza !)—He could not avoid
calling tomind an expression which he had formerly
read, terming the Right Hon. Gentleman a " Hea-
ven-born Man," alluding to those talents which he
exertedso much in behalf of his Constituents ( these/
Hesse!) his sentiments at that time had not reached
the Treasury (Missal liirsaa!)—he, however,
would not have had the least objeaion to any
change that might have taken place with respcft to
the Right Hon. Gentleman's principles, if he had
not attempted to make the Borough a Pocket Bo-
rough (Hesse ! Hausa !) which must evidently be
the case, if his elation was accomplished. It was
consequently a triumph to stand in opposition, and
to call for the support of those friends, whose duty
it was to afford assistance for the purpose of main-
taining th*freedom of eleaion and the constitu-
tional establishment ( Hesse! Hansa I) He returned
thanks for the favours be had received, and urged
such as were in his interest, to exert themselves on
Friday, when he expelled to have a considerable
majority in his favour (Hansa 1 Hussa I) and to be
able to lend, though not quite so early as he had
promised, the Hon. Gentleman those COO votes,
which had been so frequently mentioned.
Mr. Timelier rose with intention to speak in
reply, but the clamour of the populace would not
suffer him to proceed. He therefore left the hug-
, ings, as did the other candidate.
