.COURT OF KING's BENCH,
THURSDAY, UPC. Id.
PRIOR V. PIGNOLD

This was an action brought to the plaintiff, a work-
ing gardener, against the &feta am, who is, we believe,
the recently dismissed Secretary to the Uniim
I itsurawe Office, and the present id.;mum Airkihr of the
National Insurance Office, resiumg in Acre-lane,
Brixton for a compensation for an injury he had
received by the defendant's having driven over him in
his gig. The plaintiff is deaf: at the lime of the accitlem
he was standing in Acre Lane, very nea► the foot-path ;
his back was turned toward. the defendant, who was
driving alone the road at a very modera,e raw. The
defendant called out to die pl af, but it was Lot ti,l
the very moment of the accident. The wheel of the
chaise went over his legs The defendant then drew up;
he said he was sorry for the accident, and drove on
again. The road is wide enough to admit of two or
three carriages p wing and there was nothing on it at
the Mile to present the defendant from turning out of
the way.
Mr. Nlarryat, for the defendant, contended that no
negligence was imputable to hint, and consequently
Ina' he was not liable to damages,
The Lord Chief Justice said, that persons driving on
the road were hound to take care that they did not drive
over others. If the defendant depended upon the
plaintiff's getting out of the way, he must take the
conserptenre of his not doing so; there was plen►y of
room for hint to drive, so as to avoid running over him.
The Jury found a verdict for the plain:iff, damages 401.

ALDRIPOB V. PARLETT.
Mr. Searlett on the part of the plaintiff, stated, that
bis client was a respectanle tradesman, a cheesemonger.
residing in Goldett.lane, liarbietn. The defendant
was a cheeseinonger, in the same street...-.on the 101
of November last, the plaintiff-having taken a one pound
now of a suspicions appearance, and a neighbour, a
Mrt. Carter, coming in, It; asked her opinurn of it?
She said she was not able to tell, but Mr. Patlett' who.
lived opposite, was a goon judge, and she would take
it to hint. She did so. Mr. Parlett, at first, declined
to tell her; and she went to auother, who said it was a
bad one. She was returning with it, when Mr. Patrlett
called her, and she went to him. When .he took the
note from her, slid it was a bad one, and he would
write forged on it. She begged he would not do so ;
but he persisted he would, and the plaintiff coining
over at the time, desired to l'eve his stole back again.
as he knew who he too:: it from, and could get his
motley returned, if the note was not written nn. Par-
lett still however persisted that he would write on it, a
dispute ensued, and the defemlaitt gate the plaintik in
charge as an utterer of forged units. Ho was in con-
'queuee taken m Police.office, where, after
being searched by the itafetulatit's direction, the 41der-
ttian,diwharged him, declaring there were no grounds
for the °Aerie. The plaintiff then brought the present
action liar the assault and false imprisonment.
isit.Litirney, for the defendant. contended, that his
' diets' had been fullyiustitied in what he had done. If he
was convinced the note was a forge,ry, it was his duty
to write forged on it to prevent any person being ,
posed 911 with it, The constattle MIK ill by accident,
and the de/cutlet/I thee gave the plaintiff in ,charge,
not for tuieriug a forged note, but for the riot and dis-
turb:owe he was making. The constable who took
him into custody was called to prove tbisstateutent.
Mr. Scarlet; on the other hand, called Mr. Payue,
the clerk ;o the magistrates at Guildhall, who stated
that he had oo recollection of any ,charge for an assault;
he had only ti riktuote its the charge book rerpecting a
forged note.
Mr. Scarlet, in reply, contended, that no donbt
could exist in the minds of the Jury, that the plaintiff
had been given iii charge on the pretence ofliavitig a bad
note in his possessi tttt , especially as it appeared the
plaintiff had quitted the shop before he WaS 61V51) jjllo
custody attic constable.
The Chief Justice ohsersed, that the defence ma up
certainly was not substantiated. The plaintiff was out
of 'bellhop before he was taken into custody, and the
justification set forth, that he was given in charge.
uecause he refused to quit the shop. With respect to
marking the note, it was right a mark should be set on
a tinged note, when proved to be so, to prevent its
Maher circulation; but an individual, who only had
