ASBAULT.-ELSE V. BEVERN.

This was, an action.to recover damages for an assaults The
plaintiff, who is a shopkeeper in the Arcade,_ Piccadilly, coin.
plained first that the defendant, who is a.taylor in the same
place, assaulted him ; secondly, that he assaulted and
.beat
Arthur,'his Son. To the first charge the defendant pleaded
Not Guilty, and that the plaintiff gave the first assault. On
the other charge of having assaulted the son, the defenditnt
said that this boy and others created a noise and disturbance at
his house by striking the shutters with his fist. He desireclAitn
to go away, and as he did not go, he laid his hand on him ,end
made him go.
'
Mr. (.:.,titt.ETT stated the case. It appeared from the
dence that the children of the plaintiff' were playing one sun.
Sun-
day in June last, in Burlington Arcade. The noise they_Made
gave offince to the defendant, whose wife had but recentlyl're-
covered from her acCortchement. He came out and laid'toldof
the plaintiff's son by the arm. The father then made 'iris 4p.
pearance in a violent passion, and said, " You scoundetl, if
you sttikc my child again I will strike you." The plaintiff
soon after received front the defendant two blows on .tlicfl9: c,
which brought blood from his mouth. The, porter, who,,WaS at
the gate, ran to separate them. Nine witnesses for tha
tiffdescribed blOws to haVe been first struck by the ddentlait.
The aria of the boy was black in consequence of a pinebrlihich
he received front the defendant.

rto thebr i
udge fit):4o: La
Mr. Martin, an apothecary, saw the state of the plaintiff's
fi'lraiedn,tias
unalvt4eu,
face after the assault ; his eye was black ; the witness supplied
a lotion, and his bill amounted to Ss.
The Commos SEnor.AxT,
described this to be a trivial dispute between two neighhqurt4p

the plaintiff.had committed the Unit assault... If it should:4)e-
come a question of damages, the sinallestititce of coin „woilld
be enough to dojustice. to the-plaintiff's claim.

plaintiff—Damages, Forty Shillings.
