LAW INTELLIGENCL-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
TURNER V. urcurz.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in
damages, for an assault and battery. It appeared from the
evidence, that the plaintiff is not on good terms with his
mother and family, and was only at stated times allowed
to see them. On the night on which the assault was com-
mitted he went to his mother's house, but was refused ad-
mission ; he continued rapping most violently at the door
fora length of time, when the defendant was requested, if
possible, to take him away. The defendant advised him
to leave the house, and not to disturb his poor aged mother.
This he refused to do, and a quarrel ensuing the defendant
struck him ; this was the assault complained of.
Mr. Justice PAT= summed up at very great length,
and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages,
Forty Shillings.
The Court was very much crowded in anticipation of
a crim. con. case coming on, but on the application of
Mr. Adolphus it was postponed, on account of the
absence of two material witnesses for the defendants, un-
til the sittings before next Term.

BAIL COURT.
THE KING V. SIYMOUR, ESQ.

It will be recollected that the defendant in this case was
an individual possessed of large property in the Wait of
England, and had been convicted of a misdemeanour (the
particulars of which have been fully before the public).
Mr. Sergeant WILMC now moved fur a new trial, on
the ground that the evidence of the witnessed for the pro-
secution was not entitled to credit. The Learned Ser-
geant was addressing the Court when our Reporter left.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
PROCTOR V. 711.1111111.

This wee an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
compensation in damages for an injury be had sustained
both in limb and pocket, by the alleged carelessness and
negligence of the defendant,

Mr. Serjeant BOMPAS and Mr. flurcitmox appeared
for the plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Se.►N►:la and Mr.
Foam for the defendant.

The following is a brief outline of the case, as stated by
the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff :—lt appears that
the defendant rents extensive cellars situated at the corner
of Ogle and Marylebone-streeta, the only access to which
is by a large trap-door, which occup'es almost the entire
breadth of the pavement. About seven o'clock on the
evening of the 30th of September last the plaintiff was pro-
ceeding down the last-mentioned street, on his way
home, when the flaps of the cellar door being open,
he fell in, and received considerable bodily injury.
lie was so ill for some weeks afterwards that he was obliged
to go to attend his business in the city by coach, instead of
walking thither as was his usual practice ; and also that
he had been put to the expence of a doctor's hill, as well for
the cure of the wounds he had received by his fall into time
cellar, as for the state of nervous excitement which those
wounds had induced. This was the injury for which com-
pensation was sought.

A great flambe; of witnesses were called to prove the
above facts.

Mr. Serjeant ScAit addressed the Jury for the de-
fendant in a very longand humourous speech, in which he
contended that the accident had been occasioned by the
plaintiff's own want of proper caution, since, had he not
been philosophising or grinding verses, or star gasing,
pursuits all very well in the woods and forests, but by en
means adapted for the streets of London, he would not
have fallen into the cellar, and thereby have broken his
shine. He, the Learned Serjeant, could assure the Jury,
that the Counsel for the other side were well aware that
this case was in a most rickety state, and indeed that
their client hail not a leg to stand upon.
The Loan CHM' Joyner having summed up, the Jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
