LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 30.

(Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prins, in Hilary Term,
before Mr. Baron MARTIN and Common Juries.)
MENDOZA V. WOOLLEY.
This was an action to recover cotapensation in da-
mages for an assault.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ro-
binson was counsel fur the defendant.
The plaintiff is an old clothesman, and the defendant
is a member of the equity bar. The circumstances of
the case will be gathered from the accompanying evi-
dence :
Mendoza—l am the plaintiff, and I live in Ilonndss
ditch. I have eight children. I deal in old clothes, and
on the 27th of November I was collecting clothes in
Halfmoon-street, Piccadilly. About half-past nine
o'clock that morning I saw a gentleman standing at the
door of No. 27, in that street. He had his hat off.
Thinking that he had called me I went across and asked
him if he had any cast-off wearing apparel to dispose
of. He said, " You Jew thief, do you think I sell old
clothes ?" I said, " Whom do you call a thief ?" He
said, " You Jew thief, I will knock your d—d head
off," and then gave me a terrific blow on the cheek. I
reeled and fell into the middle of the street. When I re-
covered myself the gentleman was standing at the door,
and as I was going back towards him he threw out with
his feet and kicked me several times, till I fell again
into the road. On my recovering myself I looked to-
wards the house and found the door was shut. I saw a
woman cleaning the steps at No. 20, the house opposite.
I spoke to her, and then managed to crawl home, and
was kept in bed three days. Some time afterwards I
went to the Vice-Chancellor's Court, where I saw the
person who assaulted me dressed up in his robes and
wig. I knew him when I saw him. Before this I had
gone to my attorney.
Cross-examined—l have lived in my present house
ever since it was built—seven or eight years. I did not
see a little dog at the door with this gentleman. That
is the gentleman sitting there, and he is the same I
saw at Lincoln's Inn in his wig and gown. He was not
puiuted out to me. I have no doubt of his being the
man who assaulted me on the 27th of November. That
gentleman up there is not the gentleman. The defen-
dant had a dark coat on, and lightish coloured trousers
—speckled. I cannot say whether he had slippers on or
bouts, notwithstanding I felt them when he kicked me.
I was on the other side of the street, and I went over
because I thought he called me. I touched my hat to
the gentleman in the first instance. He did not say
he did not call me. I did not use any offensive
observations. I feel the effects of the blow even
now very much. After he knocked me down the first
time I was walking quietly towards him. When I went
back he kicked me several times; the first kick I warded
off with my hand. I had three kicks, certainly, because
I was " obligated" to take them.—(Laughter.) The
kicks followed each other very quickly, and, as I re-
tired from them, he came after me. I got home between
ten and eleven o'clock, but did not take to my bed till
the third day after the assault. I saw my attorney
before I took to my bed. On the day after the assault
I went up to Halfmoon-street, and obtained from the
servant the names of her master, Mr. John Tartan
Woolley. The assault was on Thursday, and on the
Friday I got this information from the servant at the
house.
Robert Bell—l served the writ upon that gentleman,
at his house in Halfmoon-street, and, to the best of my
belief, he is the same I saw in the Vice-Chancellor's
Court.
Ann Ward—l remember the 27th of November, and
on that morning was cleaning the steps of the door of
No. 20. I saw the plaintiff come by. Prior to the as-
sault I saw a gentleman standing at the door of No. 27.
The plaintiff asked him it he had any old clothes to sell,
when the gentleman called him a " Jew thief," and pre-
sently knocked him down. I believe that gentleman to
be the one.
Cross-examined—The plaintiff has called on me twice
since the assault. I never knew him before. That is
like the gentleman. He is about his height. I will not
swear that the other was not the gentleman,
Edward Haten, the assistant of a medical gentleman
at Islington, proved having attended the plaintiff. His
face was very much inflamed, his arm bruised, and his
left leg also. Tho plaintiff was ordered to bed, some
liniment was supplied to him, and medical attendance
upon him was necessary for more than three weeks.
Cross-examined—I attended the plaintiff rather as a
friend, for I had bought clothes of him. I attended him
about ten times during the three weeks.
Mr. ROBINSON, on the part of the defendant, said that
he would call his client, who did not commit this assault,
and also the uncle of that gentleman's wife, who really
did commit it. It would then be for the jury to say
which of the parties they believed, and find accordingly.
J. T. Woolley—l am a member of the bar, and live
in Halfmoon-street. On the morning in question the
uncle of my wife was on a visit to us. I did not assault
any one on that morning.
Cross-examined—My uncle was with me at that time.
I was served with the writ at the door of my house.
Hearing a noise in the street I went to my window, and
saw the plaintiff standing near the pavement. I did not
see him on the ground. I received a letter from Mr.
De Medina, but I did not reply to it, When I was
served with the writ, I said nothing as to my not being
the person who had committed the assault. I did not
hear any swearing from either of the parties when I
heard the altercation acing on.
Charles Benjamin Blayds—l am a gentleman. I have
been in the army, and live upon my means. I was on a
visit at my niece's, and committed the assault, as the
plaintiff has stated.
Cross-examined—Last night I slept in Conduit-street
West, the night before at the Craven Hotel, and the
night before that at East Cowes. I have no settled re-
sidence, but travel about. I live upon my means—rents.
I can't tell you what the amount is, as they vary each
year perhaps. I spend my time in smoking cigars,
walking about, reading the newspapers, and now and
then at a theatre.—(Laughter.)
Mr. HAWKINS replied, and
Mr. Baron MARTIN summod up.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant, adding,
that in their opinion the plaintiff was mistaken as to the
person.
Mr. Baron MARTIN thought so too.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 30.
(Before Mr. Commisioner LAW.)

THE ALLEGED CARD CHEATING AT BRIGHTON.-IN RE
GEO. PIIDDY.
___

This insolvent, a boot-maker in Panton-street, Hay-
market, applied to be discharged.
Mr. Cooke (with whom was Mr. Dowse) opposed for
Mr. Robert Bignall, of the Argyll Rooms; Mr. Sargood
supported.
The case, which created a good deal of interest, occu-
pied about six hours, and was not concluded till past
five o'clock.
The insolvent was procured by Mr. Bignall, being his
bootmaker, to be one of the bail for Charles Nottidge,
his cook, who was committed by the magistrates at
Brighton for alleged perjury in attempting to justify in
the case of Broome, Staden, and James, committed for
alleged cheating at cards in a matter which has been
frequently before the public. The insolvent was given
2501. by Bignall, and he went down to Brighton on
the sth of September last to justify, but was not
called, as the required notice had not been given,
and a Mr. Potter, the joint bail, justified in the
sum of 5001., and Nottidge was discharged.
The money was given to the insolvent on two occasions;
1501. by Bignall, and afterwards by a person
another 100/. On his return from Brighton the insolvent
