a trades Man, residing in Manchester-street: He had
two houses at the West end of the tpwn, which he
let to a ' Mr. Plomer, a Gentleman
,of fortune :.from
the West Indies, andbrother-in-law to.-Mr: Barrett.
- Some of the Prosecutor's furniture having been da-.
maged, it was agreed he should be paid for the same;
and hawing called at Mr. Pleder's
_to Ask for his
money, the Defendant saw him at the door, damned
him for an impertinent scoundrel, struck him a vio-
lent blow oh the' side 'of the head, and aftjfwards
boaSted of what he had done. •
Mr. MAhRvAtY, for the Defendant; admitted that
he had committed the assault, but Maintained, the
provoCation was so great, that it was hardly possible
for the Defendant to avoid it. The Prosecutor used -
the' 'mist impertinent language'-to the servant of
. Mrs. Plorner---" I .desire," said -he, ." thAt she will
make reparation ter the bed which has been spoiled,7
And likewise send: back _the pillows which she has.
stolen ; and I will have Jlerrup to Bow-street if she
does not make good the reparation for the bed, and
return the pillows." Mr.. Barrett asked him " What
he meant, by such language?." The Prosecutor then
said You are- a swindling scoundrel
A swindling scoundrel ! •:What you mean. by
that," . said tife Defendant ?—" yon are a
swindling set altogetheir," said. the Prosecutor, and
then thilqwed the 'Defendant into the street, and
several times told the Defendant. he dared not strike •
hiiu-; on, which the Defendant, thus insulted and
goaded, gave him what he merited, but what would
not be justified in a:Court of juStice,-a good sharp
blow with a cane.'

Monier; 'but who now livvd in Walthamstow, and

TALBOT, 7J. TSIGSBY.
This was an aCtion brought against, a -respe&able
farmer on the.Edgware-road, by'the Plaintiff, a
re-
spectable master tidier, for an injury sustained by n
bite from the Defendant's dog.
The declaration stated, that the dog -was in the
constant habit of attacking and biting the King's Su
jeets; and the-evidence only going to one attack on
a boy, While the dog was chained, and his being
soon after familiarized with the boy, .the averment
`in the declaration,-, attacking and biting, not being
sufficiently made out, the Plaintiff was Nonsuited.

cutter in Pall-Mall, -against the Hon. Mr., HaWke,
fbr a sum of 221. for cutting a seal with the family
arms of the Hawkes, and drawing and emblazon-.
inci the same arms upon vellum. The seal appeared
to, have been cut in a very sriperior style i but owing
fo some mistake or misdirea'tions, on the part of the,
Defendant, there being ten quarterings in the arms,
one of them was omitted, and, the 'Plaintiff had to
re-cut a part of the seal, for which he charged three
guineas ; fifteen for the original seal, with mounting
and cutting, and the remainder for the painting on,',
vellum.

After going.ipto some evidence, it was agreed to
refer the cause to arbitration.

agreement, by which it was stipulated that the De-
fendant was to keep the latter hi full employment,'
in making ladies' long and short hair-borders, for'
three yesrs ; -the Defendant to furnish the hair, and
pot less thali twelve borders per week. The Plain-
tiff engaging-, on his part, not. to work for any other

have earned from 51. to til..at this business per week,

qUently be four days in the week iidle for want. of
