UNDERHILL e. SHORE, ESQ.
The trial of this cause excited cousiderahle interest. The
plaintiff was a schoolmaster at Hasusgate, and the defendant,
Mr. Shore, son of the late Lord Teignatoutli, was a genUeman
of fortune, residing in Guildford-street, Fouudling-hospital.---
In consequence of the death ofCaptain Clough, late master of
the ceremonies, of the Ramsgate assembly-room, a vacancy was
declared in October last by the subscribers. Being, as it
seamed, an elective aloe, two gestlent..a, named Bayley sad
Hayes, became candidates, and their reepective friends zealously
embarked in their cause. By a resolution of the grave heads
of the assembly, it was anaonneed that all ladies sad path:aim
inhabitants of Hamsgate, who should become subscribers before
six o'clock in the evening of the 6th of October, were to be
qualified to vote for the dignified offices On this occasion Mr.
Peter Moore, M.P. for Coventry, warmly espoused the cause
of Mr. Hayes, in whose behalf also, Lord Tumour, and his
Lady, and Mrs. Sweatenharn (both these ladies being sisters
of the gentleman) were deeply interested. On the day of elec-
tion, which took place on the Bth ofOeteber, Mr. Peter Moore
was appointed scrutineer for Mr. Hayes, and Mr. Shore, the de-
fendant, scrutineer for Mr. Bailey. About six o'clock, in the
evening of the 6th of October, Mr. Moore produced a list of 75
new voters, whose subscriptions were paid by Lord Tumour,
and they were accordingly admitted as voters. Amongst the
new made voters so qualified, were the plaintiff, his wife and
daughter, ajourneyntan carpenter, a sausage-maker, and other
persons not falling within the definition of yeality folks. By a
resolution of the old subscribers, a gentleman named Sherwood
was voted to the chair, and armed with authority to determine
upon all votes which should be tendered. On the day of elec-
tion the assembly room was attended by all the real quality of
Ilaurrate. There were nearly an bemired ladies of the best
fashion present, besides a great number of the male ton, fre-
quenting that watering place. The poll having commenced, the
plaintiff, a gentleman, described to be of Lilliputian altitude,
tendered his vote in favour of Mr. Hayes. The plaintiff, not
being a person in the habit of attending assemblies, nor consi-
dered likely to become a practical votary of 'Terpsichore. the
defendant objected to his sole, maligning for special cause of
demurrer, the aforementioned objectious. At length Mr. Asses-
sor Sherwood determined the schoolmaster's vote to be a good
one, and he voted accordingly, apparently to the great discom-
posure of the defendant's feelings. As soon as his vote was
received, Lady Tumour, who took great interest in her bro•
ther's success, sent the plaintiff with her carriage to bring Mr.
Cricket, en honest, industrious, operative master builder (one
of the new mode voters.) The appearance of a lahotning me-
chink, attired iu a fustian jacket, grizzly beard, and a body
swathed in an apron, for the purpose of soling for a Master of
the Ceressionies, naturally excited a great sensation amongst so
assembly so constituted. Cries of shame! shame! this is
too had," resounded from various parts of the room. Mr.
Cricket, with great good humour, honestly confessed that he
certainly should not have obtruded Mussed had lie nut been
brought there by the plaintiff, in Lady Tumour's carriage, and
forthwith retired without giving his vote. This transaction
was construed by time company into • direct affront ou the part
of the plaintiff. Several ladies declared their determination of
paining the room, unless sonic gentleman had the spirit to pro-
tect them from such insults. Upon which the defendint, roused
by this appeal to his gallantry, immediately darted at the plain-
till, seized him by the collar, and insisted upon his immediately
quitting the room. The plaintiff, however, not bring disposed
to yield to such request, immediately fell upon the flour, and
beaten kicking ri4lit and left. Several other gentlemen, how-
ever, were determined to support the deionlant, and by main

forest the plaintiff was dragged along the floor, and at length
kicked down stairs. This was the general native of the ease.
Witnesses were examined on both sides, each set flatly cos-
tradictieg the other is their account of the trealmeatexperiesced
by the plaiatiff.
Mr. Sherwood, the president, Mr. Moore, the member of
Parliament, Lady Tumour, Mrs. Sweetenham, her sister, and
Mr. John Holmes Gibson, %vete examined for the plaintiff.—
The ladies gave a most alarming account of the defendant's
treatment of the plaintiff; that he shook hies violently, struck
hiss repeatedly, knocked him down, kicked him whilst es the
floor ; thought be would have been powdered ; that ►is Cass
was braised, and that be bled profneely at one of his eyes i•
conselemsee of the savage treatmeat be bad experieseed.
The defendant's coursed admitted that there mat•be a verdict
for the plaintiff, het they undertook to thew that the came, with
a view to damages, had been coloured most preposteroasly.

of the slander uttered by Mrs. Wholmes, which was widely
circulated through Lewisham. DeptAwd, Greenwich, and the
neighbouring district. The plaintiff had applied to an edger.
tieing Adj.-price solicitor, by whom the scams was brought.

LORD TORRINGTON V. HENHAM.
AVGEST 14 —This was an action of tresspau for cutting
down coppice and underwood on a farm, of which the defendant
was tenant to the plaintiff, at Merewortb, in this county.
It appeared that the defendant had been team* to the plain-
tiff's uncle of the farm is question, consisting of 109 sores of
arable and 111 of wood land, under a lease for Teats. The
property was settled upon the plaintiff's uncle for life, without
impeachment of waste, under the will of • Mr. Master, with
an express provision that he should not accept any forogift, or
other money, in the comae of • fine. When the lease was
granted to the defendant, the plaintiff's uncle took frees bias a
sum of about 7001. being the value of the coppice and under-
wood then upon the farm. Upon the death of the plaintiff's
uncle, his father succeeded to the estate, but haying serviced
hut a short time the plaintiff himself became the next tenant in
tail, and took possession. Just before the expiration of the
len*e, the defendant gave notice to the plhintiff, that be should
expect to be paid for the coppice and underwood then growing
upon the farm, after the rate a► which he bad originally paid
his uncle. The plaintiff refused to pay the vales of the wood,
alleging that his uncle had no authority to take the 7001. origi-
nally paid by the defend**, inasmuch as he was prohibited by
the settlement from taking any foregifl or other lam in the na-
ture of a fine. Upon which the defendant proceeded to ant
down about 50 f wood in order to reimburse himself.
and he sold it fur that purpose. For this act the plaintiff
brought the present action. The injury which the plaintiff Ind
sus;fiined was estimated at 6241.
The defence set up was, first, that by the custom of the
country, when the incoming teoant pays fur the 'applee aad
underwood, he is eotitled to the value of it on giving up his
farm ; and second, that at all events the amoout of injury al-
leged to have been sustained by the plaintiff was greatly over-
rated.
Witnesses were called to prove the custom end the value.—
The surveyors estimated the value of the wood cut down at
about 4001.
In reply it was argued, that the custom of the canary could
not controul the worths of the settlement ander which the
plaintiff derived tide to the property ; and with respect to the
questioa of value, the evideoce fur the defendant being only
loose and uncertain, ought to over-ride the estimates of the
surveyor* examined for the plaintiff.
The Jury, under the learned Judge's directions, found their
verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 4004.
