ing nearest to the Exchange—l farthest from it) and
Mr. Morgan would see me first as he came along.
So that, in point of fact, if he was going to butt
any body, you would be the buttee?—(A laugh.)

Mr. Goldsmid said to Morgan, " Why did you
not answer me at the meeting ?" It was Goldsmid
who referred to the meeting. The defendant held
up his fist, and not his forefinger, to Mr. Goldsmid's
face. I know the difference between a man's fore-
finger and his fist.—(A laugh.)
Mr. William Plowman deposed to having seen
Mr. Goldsmid going along Sweeting's-alley, in the
direction of his counting-house, accompanied by
the defendant, who stuck close to his side. Morgan
called Goldsmid "a scoundrel" in the hearing
of witness. Did not recollect the time of the day
when this happened.
Cross-examined by Mr. BRODERICK—WeII,
though you cannot recollect the time of the day,
perhaps you remember the time of the year when
this terrible business took place ?—lt happened be-
tween March and September.
That is very precise.
Mr. Serjeant WlLDE—Rascal means much the
same thing in summer as in winter.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Serjeant TARDY for the defendant, observed
that serious imputations had been made upon Mr.
Morgan's character, and it was not surprising if the
defendant, notwithstanding his beinga most "worthy,
good-natured man," felt indignant at these attacks.
Here was this gentleman running along at the close
of business, butting it might be, like a ram or a bull,
at his friend Mr. Page, for it was clear enough be
had no intention to injure Mr. Goldsmid with hoof
or'horn, and suddenly seeing the plaintiff, and being
reminded by him of the meeting,—the witness said
distinctly that the reference to the meeting was by
Goldsmid,—the defendant naturally expressed in-
dignation at the scandalous and unfounded asper-
sions cast upon him. At most it was a mere Stock-
Exchange quarrel. A philosopher, arguing upon
the perfectibility of the human species, once said
that man was capable of perpetual improvement ;
but that it was not so with bears, or other irrational
animals : for, says he, if you take the first bear that
ever licked his offspring into elegance of proportion
immediately after the deluge, you will find him just
as polite a brute as any bear of the present day :
bears, unlike men and women, in an age distin-
guished by the march of intellect, being incapable of
improvement. However that might be, be was
afraid that the bulls and bears of the present day
were much less polite than formerly.—(A laugh.)—
One thing was certain, that these animals had no
3 per Cent. Consols, French Scrip, or Colombian
Loan, to quarrel about in the time of Noah.—
(Laughter.)—They did not go together by the ears,
or butt, about 4 per cent. or 6 per cent. then. The
Learned Gentleman characterized the assault (it
had been so termed by plaintiff's Counsel) as of a
, most trivial nature, and one for which a farthing
damages would be a most ample compensation.
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned
' their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 501.

lIIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, JAN. 20.
WYATT V. INGRAM.
The Judges delegate in this commission assem-
bled to-day, at twelve, to give judgment in this im-
portant case, which is an appeal from the sentence
of the Judge of the Prerogative Court, by which an
alleged will of Mr. John Clopton, of Clopton-hall,
Warwick, in favour of Mr. Henry Wyatt, was set
aside, on the ground that it was obtained by fraud
and circumvention.
After remaining in deliberation till half•past two,
the Counsel and the public were admitted, when
Mr. Justice LirrLEDALE, the presses, informed
the parties, that the Court had come to the deter-
mination to adjourn their decision, without naming
a day to deliver it. The parties might, in the mean
time, consider whether they could come to any str-
' rangement which would render it uncecessary to re-
quire the judgment of this Court.
TYRRELL AND lIARDING V. MARS V.
When the Judges in the preceding commission
retired, the Delegates in this commission deliberated
about half an hour, when the doors were opened,
and the Registrar read the order of the Court, which
was, that the Cout t was divided in opinion, and as
neither of the three common law Judges concurred
with the majority (the Delegates from the Civil
Courts), their Lordships gave no deceision.

ARCHES' COURT, JAN. 20.
