1.4 W.

COURT OF KING% BENCH, WastmuesTat, Nor. 24.

THF. KING V. WILLIAM HAY, ILIQ.

The Defendant in this case was a respe't.tble
denten, upwards of 70 years of age, residing at Aln-
wick, in Northumberland, from whence hr was
brought a journey of three hundred miles, 0 re-
ceive the yudgmeat of the Court for assaulting
Thomas Carr, Esq of the same place.
It appeared, by the report of Mr. Justice CH ASf •
sag, who tried the cause on the last Assizes for
Northumberland, that a very great intimacy had
subsisted between the parties for several years, and
the Defendant had been a trustee in the marriage
settlement of the Prosecutor's eldest daughter, with
whom he had given a sum of 11,0001. in advance.'
When the second daughter of the Prosecutor was.
going to be married, the Defendant drew the mar-
riage-settlement ; bat, in coasequeitee a material
mistake which he had made, the families of the par-
tip -disagreed, an 1 many disputes' arose between
thenee it was further stated, that the Prosecutor
waih liting on horseback. in company with a Miss
Fenwick, and going towards Aim k, when he
perceived the Defendant ate. distance, 1001. ing about
as if he waited for some one; met tifpn the Prose-
cutor's coming up to him; thypefehtent said, be
had long been watching an i:lXortunity of speak-
ing with him, and lie demanded whether he knew of
the insoletr letters his wife wrote ? the Prosecutor
replied, that his language was that of a blackgu trd.
Sonic mttfttal* abuse ensued, when the Defendant
struck him with a ;mg walking-cane which he carried;
a smart scuffle then fi.!ittived, the Prosecutor using
his horsewhip at one tome, and throwing s'ones at
another, wh:le the Defendant exercised his long
cane ttpoe his opponent's shoulders. At last, the
fury of the coml. atants being somewhat mini led,
they separated. Several exculpatory affidavits were
then read on the part of the Defendant, most of
whirl. detailed the family disputes of these parties
at gloat length ; after which, Mr. Kelm:, on the
item of the Defendant, made some observetions
upon the hardship of bringing im a man of the De-
fendant's advance... time of l'te, so many hundred
miles, upon a mute- in which the Prosecutor was at
least as culpable as the Defendant. He then observ-
ed upon 'he several affidavits at great length : the
letter which was mentionad was of the most foul
and scurrilous nature ; and, though written by Mrs.
Carr, it CAM eat, upon the ernss-exaniination of the
Prosecutor, nito ga la. his testimony on this part of
the case with great reluftance, this he had drtu.illy
dies .t ad it, and was • 'l'. original anther. What first
led to the blow was, the Prosecutor caning him a
d—d liar ; and no man, alma, c--uld bear sitch
an epithet wirli coolness, particularly when he knew
the lie belon,ed to the otSer. He toe" suited, that
no man could feel greater comptinftiret man the
Defendant did : he -Feted loneo sine In go before
the master, and make such campenaation as he
%hetet! dire,`.[.

Mr. Serjeant COCRILL, or, the part of the Pro-
secution, observed, t., it a et,on f the age and ex-
perience. of the Defe-.dalat irittOit to be vise of the
last men in the world to commiz a ',reach of the
peace. He con:,;ratt.lated the Defendant on his
looking so sve:l, and in such gnol health, and re-
marked, that a man of his roisust apise.irarre :night
do a peat .e.il of bodily harm. The great aggra-
vation of this case WAS, the '7:271 I ying the Prose-
cutor, and assaulting him on the public highway
when Ala iy was present. The public peace had
most undoteitedly been disturbed ; and the Defend-
ant had shewn malice in his heart by premeditatedly
waiting on the road for the vapour of commiuiog
some a& o, violence.

The Court observed, that the only thing they had
to look to was the breach of the public peace ; and
the Defendant having been the original aggressir,
they were bound to infix an adequate panithmenr,
Under all the circum..tances of the case, the j '
ment of the Court was, that the Defendant ..14!)6i1d
pay a fine of 201.
Samuel La Fone was again brought into Court to
receive judgment for having instigated several per-
sons to assault and astral the Searcher. of Leather
in Leadenhall-market. The Court made some very
severe observations on his condmft, particularly cen-
suring him for having interfered in a business with
which he had kothi::g stall to dm The sentence of
the Court was, that lit should pay a fine of 1001.
The Defendant immediately paid the fine, and was
discharged.
