THILIPTOWN ASSIZES.
—...........—.-
At the led Anises of Philips/own. in the King's
enonty. a cause was vied before the CH t f.r Ju.r tcs
of 1 , which excited much cur ie ,it y. In this
came. Get•rgt Odium. formerly a Se/jeant in the
Finlipstown Yeomanry. was the Plaintiff. and Thos.
sswith, Esq. one of His Kiesty's Justices of the
Peace felt the King's county. was the Defendant.
Mr. RIDGWAY opened the pleadings. which
'. charged the Defendant with having, on the 2cl of
Aognst, ISO% made an assault on the Plaintiff, at
Plapstown s and. "iilicut any legal or probable
t , eao.e. and against the law of th.- land, imprisaned
the Plaintiff; taxi kept and detained him a Prisoner
far seven days. To this charge tie Dcfendant
„ Vilified !lfee beefy.
The G. ]et of Philipstown proved. that after a
hearing before the Defendant. on a charge made
against the Pla.ntiff. the Defendant committed him
to the gaol of Phtlipstown, for seven days, where
he retrained antil the Assires, which intro diately
*mord ; he was discharged by the (Juli- Justice,
ow an application mad. by Counsel. Another no-
tice on the Intendant. of the intent to bring an ac-

lien. was then revisit
lily. Prime Serjeant Mcoer admitted the impri-
• sonment, but insisted, it was jii-tifiable, as being
the cor •cquer.ce of a convictior. be!ere the Magi -
trate, on an azt of Parliament, which gave him ju•
eisdiction. -He said, the colidlin and demeanour of
thelleintialitou/d appear from the evidence he had
. to produce, as no ways worthy of, or entitled to, the
eislogiom by which it had been attempted to be set
..on. On the character of Mr. Smith, it teas not ne-
cessary to say much in addreving the Learned
Judge on the Bench, or a Jury of the King's coon-
ty. As a Justice of the Peace, in which charisma
/se now stood before them, and as a private gentle-
man, his coe4uct had always been fund above the
attacks ot malevolence. Flom prejudice, partiality,
and oppression,lis judicial conduct w.. 5 ever found
pare--and no man was mere remarkable far polite-
ness. good *Attire, and hiasisitality. But, with all
those good qualities, he might probably have erred ,
in point of law ; and,, if that sli iold be the case, he
