His Catholic Majesty addressed, on the. sth

" After a campaign, as short as it has been glori-
ous for my arms, and which has accomplished the
objea which I proposed to myself in declaring war
against Portugal, contrary to my: heart-felt wishes,
I have the consolation of seeing Peace re-establish-
ed with that Power, and of ratifying the Treaty
which constitutes the happiness of my beloved
People. I accordingly send it to the Council that
the publication of it -may be announced in the
customary way, and that copies of the said Treaty.
may be circulated inconformity to my orders, •in
order that all the ArticleS of it may be known and
observed." •

After a cruize of seventy .days, the_Frigate,
which had parted from the Corvettes-, rettnned to the

Having taken possession of these two Vessels,. which
were laden with merchandize, the Orue cruized to
the Eastward; and on- the loth came' up with the
third English Letter of Marque, 'the Little Catha-

a shot. The Orue, Which received a shot between

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCI4.

SITTINGS 31.50RL LORD KE.NYON, AT GUILDHALL,

REED v. LANE.

nits was an Atlion for an assault; and Which we
are induced to state, because thecircumStances of it
are uncommon, and may perhaps be'a lesson to some
who shall peruse it. •
The Plaintiff is a pattern drawer for-cottons, &c:
and an industrious man, who could earn between
21. and 31. a week by his business, and has a wife
• and fstmily to support, which he_ did with decency,
before the cause of this complaint arose, He had
been at the. Theatre on', the zest of January last to
see tits .MAJESTY, and as be was returning home;
the Defendant, who was stated to bea Clerk, at a
large salary, to Messrs. Rai,lton and Co. Cheapside,
met him,- whena quarrel and an assault took place.
- A Watchman- Of the name of Faller, said, that
on the night of, the asst of January Tasty about half
past twelve, he saw the Plaintiff coming; along
Fleet-street ; the Defendant past him ; the Witness
heard the Defendant_call the Plaintiff ‘‘an impostor
and a thief."—The Phintiir said, "he was not,
and that he bore as gb3,l a chardifler. as him."--=-
Upon which the Defendant struck Ihe Plaintiff twice
and knocked .him against the house, and then the
Plaintiff gave charge of the Defendant to the Wit-
ness, who spning leis rattle for assistance to secure
the Defendant; and the . Defendant struck the
Plainciff',with his left hand, and threw him down
on the pavement and brolse his, thigh. The Plaintiff
did not, at all offer to 'strike the,Defendante the
'Plaintiff would have gone
.from the Defendant, but
he turned upon .him and struck him--r-The Witness
theh proceeded thus-,---" I. did not know the one or
tha other of them before I rook Reed to the Watch.
flonse and Lane also—l delivered .the Defendant up
to the-Constable Of the Mght; and went upon my
duty kgain. I did riot, hear the Defendant say any
thing at the Watch-house did not hear the watch
called before I,came down to them. There was no
Watch called .at- all. I saw the Plaintiff pass by
my Watch-box Without speaking to the other.,
There was ; plenty of
.girls in the street, but there
were none of them talking. to Mr. Reed ; just as
I cameup there was a mob of people. What brought ,
on the.quarrel between them Ido not know. Mr.
Reed was carried an a man's back to the Watch,?l
hoUse. It appeared to me that, Mr. Reed would
haVe gone quietly home if Mr,,Lane Would have •
let him do so."

John Thom Aso!: , another Watchman, said, "as I
was calling half past twelve o'clock at the corner of
Bridge_street, the- .bottom of. Ludgate-Hill, I
Beard it rattle sprung ; ran to the agistance of
_ the man who sprung his rattle ; when I•came up
saw Mr.,Reed lying down ; he was groaning very
much ;• the other stood over him, with his left hand
up, and while he was lying on the ground, I thought
he was going to strike him ; I took hold Of
and -asked _what- was -the-matter ?: Mr. Lane said,
" This is a villain and'an impostor." I said, "If
the man has done any thing amiss, let him go to the
Watch-hot:se and settle• it there." I gave Mr.
Lane in custody, and lifted up-Mr. Reed,„ who said,
" 1 camiot stand, my-thigh is ,brolc'en, I- believe."
On which Mr. Lane said, " he is an-impostor, I
will have a Surgeon And have him searched, for -T
have not hurt him." The Plaintiff, Mr. Reed, is
a. than of about five feet-five, and small. -The
lendant is a tall stout. man.- I carried' Mr. Reed
on my back to the Watch-house, and the other
Watchman got diem before, me. I set Mr. Reed
down-on a seat, and desired the Constable to look
at him. Flc looked at his face,-but by the agony 11
was in he did not know him, but afterwarils he did,
and said,. " God bless my soul, Mr. Reed; is it you I" -
Mr.. Lane was,• all this while calling him all the
thieves and rogues he -could, and said, " you may
tell by his countenance. that he is a thief."---4 then
helpt the Plaintiff into coach, and took him' to
the Hospital—The
.Defendant " If his thigh
is broke, I will stand.the consequence, but I-do not
think it is."—" I knew -nothing of any of this
quarrel until the rattle', was sprung, and I saw the-
man on the ground;)! - •

John Irbitemar:, one of the ofliceri of the night,
said, when this ; po-cir • mart was brought into the
watch house; his thigh was broke; I had known
him-many years before; he was set down by. the
Watchman. When I looked at' him first I hardly
knew him ; I afterwards got up and said, " Lord,
Mr. Reed, is it you ? I am sure I did, not know
you." I asked-Ina) '' what's the matter 1" ."
believe my thigh-is broke," said he. I said, "yes,
lam afraid it is, Mr. Reed." Lane said, " I
do 'not think it is : he is an impostor." I said,
". no, Sir ; I know the man very well ; he is as
good a charatter as you are."' I said, " the best
way to prove whether he- is an impostor or ner,:is
,to send him to the hospital ;" and I said, -"then it
would be seen whether ;his thigh, was broke or not."
What past afterwards I cannot say. Mr: Reed is a
Painter, 'and,l believe, draws pattern., for, shops,
and gets a great deal. of money. He maintains his -
family with great credit. He is-very bad now ; he
cannot walk about at all ; he has a wife and a large
family. -
Mr. Grahani, Suigeon, said, " I,am resident
Surgeon at the hospital where this man was brought.
I was called up between twelve and one. He wag
,confined in the hospital fourteen or fifteen weeks
his thigh was broken, 'and very bad' it was—a very -
bad fratinre." -

Mr. yob' Lawrie said, " He attended Mr: Reed
at his own house and also at the hospital. Fifteen
weeks after the, accident ihappened he was in bed,
unable to get up; he is even now unable.to go over
the home, except upon crutches : it'must be some
time before he is restored to his health."

On gross-examination this Officer of th.e hospital
was asked this question—"HoW came he to be dis,
charged out of the hospital=--he was turned out, was-
not he ?'? •

A. " Tie nature of the case was peculiar he
behaved himself extremely well there, and he wai
extremely grateful and thankful for our attention

to him."

Mrs. Knight---" I-employed the Plaintiff to draw
patterns for me ; I believe capable of earning
