EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.)

EDWARD C. corms.
This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover
compensation in damages, for a violent assault committed
upon him by the defendant.
Sergeant Wilkins appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Crowder
for the defendant.

It appeared that the plaintiff was a poulterer carrying on
business in New•gate-street ; the defendant was a meat sales-
man, conducting his business in the same place as the plaintiff,
In consequence of a few words having passed between the
parties, the defendant struck the plaintiff, and pushed him
down, and such was the severe nature of the blow and the
fall that the house surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
whither the plaintiff was taken, said that the radius or small
bone of the wrist was broken, and that the plaintiff remained
in the hospital for a period of five weeks under treatment for
the injury.
Mr. CROWDER addre3sed the jury at some length for the
defendant.

The LORD CIIIEF Baaos summed up, and
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 51.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

GODDARD O. DOBSON AND ANOTHIER.
This was an action brought by Mr. Henry Goddard, a
surgeon, residing at Deptford, to recover 153/. on a promis-
sory note from Mr. Dobson, a medical practitioner in the
county of Essex, and Mrs. Laburn, a lady residing in Re-
gent-street. The defence set up was, that the names of the
defendants attached to the note were not in the handwriting
of the parties.
Mr. Sergeant Channel and Mr. Bovil were for the plaintiff;
Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendants.
A number of witnesses wore called, who deposed to the
band-writing of the signatures in the note being that of
the defendants.
In cross-examination several notes, the purport of which
did not appear, were submitted to these witnesses, who like-
wise stated that, to the best of their knowledge they were in
the hand-writing of the defendant Mrs. Laburn.
The case was proceeding when our report left, and likely
to occupy the Court till its rising.
