These- facts having been proved by the evi-.
llence Of the young hu]ics )vho were in the plain-
tiirs company, at the time the occurrence took
place, •

TornNo addressed the Jury on behalf of
the defendant. - He stated, that by the particular
desire of his client, he would call a witness who
was present at the time the alleged assault took
place. What that wituess would prove, Whether
it would make the ease 'better or worse for the
defendant,., he could"not tell. If it had liccu
to his diScretion,• he certainly should nut jnt,.e
called a witness ; but as thecOmmand of 10.-i client
was imperative upon him, be was obliged, to
proceed.

Lie then called a groom, in the service Of Sir
John 'Douglas, who deposed, that when Mjtjor
Nicholls WRI called upon to rein L. 1;,!... hoce,
-"he- (lhe'ii,ittie) Was diiing soniething to the bridle

20 yards, before he returned to Major Nicholls,
which he did in a very threatening manner, tionr-
ishing his .stiek across the defendant's face, and
exclaimiug—" Yon are no Gentleman ! or you
would love reined back your horse—you are no
Gentleman !"—;On thin, defendant let leis cone fall

The two Ladies were agaio called, and they po-
sitively stated,
;that the'Greenwich stage, alluded
to by the last witness, did not pass, till .after the
plaints
bad been knoeked down.

The ATToatsEy-GEtsn AL; on the part of the
plaintiff, descanted at souse length •on the seve-
rity of, the assault, which was quite unprovoked,
and laid peculiar stress on the politeness and at-
tendon which the 1-•ui de sex were entitled to re-
ceive t h oNe ho were their natul'al pro-
tectors, and more evecially from Gentlemen of

TYLER Vi N.ICI(OLLS;
This Was an action broaght by the plaintiff, to
recover damages for an assault -comluitted upon'
him by the defendant, Who is a Major in the
Royal Marines. The plaintiff,.a faraß' of re-
spectability, residing in the neighbotirhood of
Blackheath, had occasion, a short time since,
in company with his sister, and another pang'
lady, to. pass the house of Sir John Douglas,
where the defendant had been paying a visit.
—When he passed the house, defendant was
on horseback before, it ; the -Ifore-legs of 103
horse.- being on the footpath, mid his hind-
legs in the road. As the ladies were. fearful
of passing while the horse remained in this sitaa-
don, the plaintiff requasted Major Nicholls to rein
him, back a tittle, which he promised to do, but
which promise he did not perforin. The plaintiff
then bowed his head under the neck of the horse,
and passed; having the young lady under his arm,
and culling on his Sister to follow them, which .
she did; after considerable hesitation. :When she
overtook the phlintilf, who had- advanced about
twenty yards, she informed him how much she.
.had been alarmed, when he immediately turned
back, and said to the defendant, '' If you were a
gentleman, you would have reined hack your
horse, and permitted the ladies to pass." Major
Nicholls observed, " that the plaintiff Was a d---d
impertinent fellow, and accompanied the observa-
tion by striking him a violent blow with a large
stick, which he had .in his hand. The plaintiff
reeled back several paces, in consequence of the
violence of the assault, and then fell to the
ground, Fl remained in a state of insensibility
for a few minutes,=and, \Own he was able to rise,
he applied to the defendant for his address, who
said, you shall get nether ad-dress, tun- re-dress
from me, except a good horse-whipping, it you
are impertinymt." Plaintiff then applied to Sir
John Douglas, to know who the assailant was—
but Sir John refused to inform him, observing.,
‘` that as he had not seen the fracas, and dhl not
know how it originated, he did not conceive him-
self justified in interfering."-,-The plaintiff at
length discovered that the defendant was a Major
in the Marines, and immediately brought his ac-
tion for the assault.

gave the plaintitt in custody to the watt:tuna& titid
proceeded with him to the watch-lint:se, when be
gave him in charge tc tiw comstable of the night;
as i‘ a suspicions chararter; whom he found iii his
house at an unseasonable hour." Plaintiff' fe-
tnained lit the wiitch-:house all night, -arid was
brought bef'ore a Magistrate in the morning,
dismissed hint, on hiS producing the letter, and
explaining the circunista»ces of the Imliness,-74
This,constituted the false impriSonment eomplainz
ed of.

The Ai-TORNeV GENi.:RAL then 'tilled a young
physician of the name of Weir, the fellow-lodger
of the plaintiff, who deposed, that he recollected
Overend's having received the letter alhided
to. It was written in a female hand, and eon,
tamed an invitation to go the houSe of the defen-
dant. The plaintiff asked the Witness to accom-
pany hiM thither, but he declined. Witness add
the plaintiff Were in the habit of laughing and con-
versing with the young ladies at Airs. Br turisden's,
but without any improper view. He did not see
the, plaintiff atter he bad gone' to the defendant's
house, in obedience to the request contained in
the letter, till the following morning,' when he
learned that he had been in the watch-house all
night.
On his cross-examination by Mr. PARX, for the
defewhint, he said, both he and the plaintill bad
frequently conversed with Mrs. Brunisden's yoUng
women ; the plaintiff might have net them, by
appointment, in the street, but witness never hall.
Ile admitted, that two of the girls, one abOut 13,
the other about 13 years of age, had two or three
times been in the apartthents of plaintiff and the
witness, between the hours of twelve and two
o'clock in the. morning. lie also also allowed,
thati a balcony ran across the front of.the two
houses, and that he had assisted the plaintiff in
getting some of the girls front the balcony of
their mistress's house, into that which was erected
before their lodgings, by which they gained ad,
,mission into plaintith v.partnients.
Lord .ELLExzeaouotthereObserved, that nei.,
ther plaintiff nor defendant could derive tiiitch•ad,.
vantage from disclosures similar to this, and re-
commended them to 'withdraw a jtiror ; to which
proposition the partiesintme!ii..t,ly agreed.
