COURT OF KING'S 13ENCEI.

:enlen, who WAs engaged with the other Jaiigeo in the
ilouie of Lord..
ASSll'LT.—liumruntrs V. ,k7.IIVET.

This WAN an -I.ction to recover compensation in damages
for an assault and false imprisonment.
Mr. GraNr.v (with whom was Mr. Ptary) stated the
ease to the Jury. The plaintiff was a respectable man,
and hail to (-implant of a serious injnry. The facts were
shortly as follows :--On the 1 I th of May the plaintiff was
walkin towards Edmonton, with a hitch that he had
previously bonght of a person nem d Clark, when be
met the defendant, who said, " That is my hitch ;
lost her some time since." The plaintiff said, "
ll-
the dog belongs to yen, you 611311 have it again."
After some further conversation, the parties alned
to meet together in the evening at a prlblie-house
at Islington, for the purpase of settling the business.' The
plaintiff accordingly went to the public-bon** at the ap-
pointed time, where he was shortly joined by the defend-
ant, who brought with him a constable, and without
entering into any explanation, they handcuffed the plaintiff
an I dragged bins off, against strong remonstrances, to a
watch-house. hail was for a length of time refused. tint
at length accepted. The next morning the plaintiff at-
tended at Worship-street Police Office, and the Magistrate.,
alter hearing the case, dismissed it. The alefenclants had
pleaded several pleas of justification, but he (Mr. Gurney)
was convinced the Jury would give his client contpensa-
sation for the shameful manner in which he had been
treated.

• It was proved by several witnffisest that the plaintiffpur-
chased the clog for a sovereign. On their cross-exaMint-
Lion they said in the neighbout hood of Islington-Mils the: e
were two distinct trades c trrietion. The one dog-stealers
and killers—the other dog-skinners.—(Laughtei-.)—Aod
that if notice was given within 21, hours of a dug being
lost, it might be recovered ; hut, if no notice was given
within that period, it would either be hung or tram-
ported.—(Laughter.)
The ATTORNYT-GCNZRA 1., for the defendant, admitted
that a verdict most pass against his client; bat he thought
the smallest possible damages would be sufficient. There
was not the least proof of milks.; and the defendant, from
information he had received, had reason to suppose the
plaintiff might have obtained the dog in knpropet,

manner.
The Jury immediately zeturned a ♦erdist for the plain-
tiff—ramages, lg.

BELL V. FICI.LEA.
Mr. CA MVIIMLL said this WAR an aetioe to reenver the
sum of 71. 4s. for twelve advertisements ineserted in two
very popular works, one of which was for the amusement ,
of the ladies. and the other for the gentlemen.—(A laugh.)
He meant the World of _Papillon, and the Gentleman's
Magazine. Ile should prove that the advertisemacts ,were
inserted according to the defendant's request, and at the
}rice agreed upon, viz. twelve shillings each ; and; accord-
ing to " Cocker," twelve times twelve being one hundred
and forty-four, he should he entitled to a verdict for the
amount claimed. Indeed, he was at a less to know what
defence could be made.
An order, proved to be in the hand-writing of the de-
fendant requesting the insertion of the advertisements at
the price charged, was put in and read.
Mr. TURNEC, for the defendant, cross-examined the
witnesses, but made no defence.

The general idea in the City is, that the Dnke of Wel-

departments of Government. The arrivals this morning

TWO O'CLOCK;
The Consul Market has continued the whole of the
morning without a feature worth the least observation.
Consols have been done in the early part of the morning
at 921 for the Arcount ; since which time they have re-
mained at 921 i, and for next Account 93, buyers.
In regard to political news or reports, we have none,up
to the present hoer. The large majority 'of Ministers in
the Commons last night is a proof of their stability.
The general topic of conversation in the City is the
dreadful fire which took place last night at the English
Opera House.
The Foreign Market is in the same state of stagnation It 4
that of the British Market, and the prices of most of :the
Foreign Securities are much the same as yesterday.
