LAW REPORT.

'COURT KING'S BENCH, JUNE Q 9.

TEIr. KING., V. LEE CLERK.
This was an indictment for an assault preferted
"by Major the I-190 GeOrge Blaquiere against the
. Reverend Francis Lee. The affair' arose out of
the criminal conversation with the defendant's
Wife, for Which the defendant brought his •action.
against the plaintiff about a year and an half ago.,
. and in which he recovered 15001. damages, for the
payment of which the prosecutor was imprisoned hi
execution for about a twelvemonth. Mrs. Lee is new
living with the Major, and at the time of the assault,
which took place on the 24th January, 1810, was
residing separate from her husband, at 84, Wirn-
pole-stteet. It appeared that the prosecutor
visited her there most evenings about that time,
and that the defendant, 'suspecting his inter-
course with his wife, watched him for some
nights previously, with a view of procurink
dence upon which to bring his action. On the
night in question. he was in company with two
Police officers ; had seen the - prosecutor: enter
Mrs. Lee's house at about half-past six o'clock,
and waited till he should return to his own, in
Beaumont-street ; be had waited until his pay
tiecce was nearly exhausted, and was about to
enter MrS. Lee's house, when the p.‘•ose-
cutor appeared. They approached to ascertain
his person; he also, was aesirous to know who
had, for two evenings previously watched him so
narrowly.; this the defendant seemed desirous to
avoid, and therefore kept behind. The prosecu-
tor, on reaching his own door, found they conti-
nued to •followbim, and, crossing the street, ad-
dressed
Mr. Lee, inquiring to know what he
wanted with him. Mr. Lee, at the SUTIIC time,
Stood with his back to him, and, suddenly wheel-
ing. round, struck him a blow with a stick,
above the temple, which instantly brought him
to the
~Tround. He remained senseless for some
time, mil the parties ran off. As to, the AtiortN
which preceded the blow, and the commence-
ment of the assault, there was much contradie-

tory evidence adduced. Major Blaqueire stated,
that he addressed Mr. Lee, " Pray,- Sir' —and,
before he could finish the interrogatory, the blow
was stricken. The officers,stated, that though at
some distance from both, they heard 'the Words
scoundrel or scoundrels' used, and.thought it was
.by the Major. One swore positively he heard a
voice, which he took to be that of the Major,
say, " Yoh scoundrels, what do you want with
me ?" This was denied by the -Major Tepeatedly;
who alleged, that he was not in the habit of
using such language to ally Gentleman. The offi-
cers accounted for their flight, by saying, they
thought it was• the Major that had struck Mr.
Lee, and went in pursuit of him. The'proseentor
allowedthat, to know what the watchers did want
with him, would have been the Object of his in-
quirt', had he had time to make it ; and Lard.
ELLENBOROUGH put it to the Jury, whether the
probability was not, that he did utter the words,
accompanied by the epithet scoundrel, and whe-
ther he had not menaced the defendant in such a
manner as would justify the assault. Believing
this, the Jury found the defendant Not Guilty.
Lord ELLENROROUGII would not suffer the pro-
secutor to be asked, whether any thing ci•imnal
bad passed between him and Mrs. Lee before the
assault took place, although the prosecutor pro•
fessed himself ready to swear that nothing had.

THE KING V. R. FOOTE, ESQ.

The rule upon which this information was filed
was obtained by Mr. SCARLET in last Michael'lnas
term. In moving for the rule, Mr. SCARLET
stated the substance of Mr. Brent's.allidavit. It
stated his (Mr. Brent's) intimacy with Mr. Foote's
father to the time of his death (Sept. 1800), that
Mr. Foote had been put to. Westminster School by
him, that he might be under the eye And protec-
tion of Mr. Brent ; that Mr. Brent had; when
Mr. Foote came from school, at the instance of
his father, procured him to be taken into the

.house of a merchant and banker of great eminence
in the city, Without any premium, where 1000
guineas had been before refused for the situation.
At the'death of his father, Mr... Brent discovered
that Mr. Foote had left or been discharged from
that situation; that he (Me.B.) became receiver of
his estates under the Court of Chancery 3 that he
entered into security to his uncles for the payment
of their fortunes, in Order that no part of the
estates .might Ape sold previous ,to Mr. Foote's
coming of age; that his father being a good deal
involved in debt, he discharged the same ; that Mr.
Brent had done various other acts of kindness for
Mr. Foote, and shewri for him peculiar instances
of .regard'; that particularly he prevented his
marriage with a woman of bad character, and had
obtained for him, • by his own personal interest, a
Coinetcr in the Dragoons, without purchase, and
'had purChased for'him, soon after, his Lieutenancy,
and had advanced also to him, of his (Mr. Brent's).
own 'honey, various sums to fit him for the ser-
vice, and for the support of his honour and cha-
racter therein, for the repayinent of which Mr.
Foote often pledged -his word of honour, as a
ovntleman and a soldier, when he came of age.
That Mr. Foote, upon his marriage with his pre-
sent_ lady, which happened before he came of
age, sold his'•conunission, and went upon halfL.
pay ; .that Mr. B. soon after Mr. F. came of age;
(1804), and was in possession pf his estates, passed
his accounts in Chaneery, and paid over the ba-
lance, and that bis sureties were discharged ac-
cordingly ; that he then applied, to Mr. route for
the payment of the money he' had 'advaaced for
the purchase of his Lieutenancy and other ser-
vices, upwards of seven hundred pounds ; and
Mr. Foote refused to pay it, , nor Would enter
into any arbitration or amicable adjustment there;
on ; that Mr.. Brent brought an- action at law
agiinst him to, recover the moneyso laid,out for
his advancement in the world., to which Mr.
Foote pleaded his infancy, and Mr: Brent was ad-
vised to discontinue his action, from which period
Mr. Brent ceased to haVe any intercourse with
hint ; that Mr. Foote hid at various times since,
notwithstanding, endeavoured to provoke and in,
stilt Mr. Brent; and particularly on the 24th
June, .181.1, in Bond-street, struck him violently
in the face with his fist, and used the following
words :—e By the living God murder yoi
by GOd you shall meet me. your

and p'.acc immediately :" and lir. trent swears
als,, that all c as was done ‘v-Ittlout any provoca-
tion on.his part.

Ti affidavit having been thought too long, •a
seconti was made by direction bf -the Court, con-
tra 7tinq the subject:more to the Matter of offence
immediatei," to come before the Court.-The
amended aifidaVit having been filed, the rule was
n:aie absolute, and the cause carne on for trial
this day.,

GirRNEY opened the pleadings.
Mr. ScantaTT--a.rslay it please your Lordship,
Gentlemen of the Jury, Counsel for the
prosecution whieh my Learned Friend has opened
te you. It is an information filed in the Court of
King's Benehe to try-the charge against the de-
fendant, which, though divided, is substantially.
this :—au assault committed on the prOsecnibr, ac-
companied with such circumstances as indicated
nothing else than a.desire to provoke a challengi.
-Theprokentor of this information is a Gentleman
' bf fortune and character, residing in -Great Bur-
lington-street. Mr. Foote, th':! defendant, I know
nothing of ; -but what is Stated to Geis, thatfrom
the earliest period of his infancy hiS father was
the friend of the prosecutor, who always enter-
tained, the highest regard for him, and had the
greatest desire to serve him and, every part of his
- I cannot gO through the history of what
has given cause for the resentment of the bon; the
present defendant. I know I should be irregular
in so doing, but this I will say, that in whatever,
cause it may hive originated, it must have been
founded in some grieyouS mistake ; for if it. was.
compe:ent for me to do so, I should have to detail
a history of various benefits conferred by the pro-
secutor upon the defendant, without any intima-
tion or least hostile disposition on the part of
the latter. I say this, because Mr. Brent will Jae
here to be examined ; and although one cannot
easily suppose that a:Gentleman in the-army; as
• the defendant is, would have committed such an
assault as is complained of, without something of
a provocation ; yet when the.evidence of the pro-
secutor is stated, I am sure he will be convinced
he has been mistaken. I cannot conscientiously
with My, duty, however gratifying it might be to.
those who instruct me, occupy your time by en-
tering into the history of former' occurrences : I.
shall merely acquaint you, that some time before
the circumstance to which I shall tall your atten-
tion :took place, Mr. Foote had conceived some
wrong impressions with respect to Mr. Brent, and
'he indicated 'a disposjtion which induced Mr. B.
to 'avoid him, Mr. Brent very properly consider-
ed that henstoOd in this .particular relation 'to the
defendanathat the defendant was a young man
to whom he was the friend and guardian, and -he
aid not think it proper to, lend himself to a guar-
. rel, and still less to a duel with- him. Besides,
that it was contrary to all those. principles of law,
morality; and reason, by which he wished to guide
"his conduct : he considered that it would have
been indecorous and indecent to have entered in-
'to a eithtest with one to whom he was in truth a
friend ; therefOre, perceiving that there was some-
thing rankling in this Gentleman's mind, he wish,.
ed to avoid him. It Ti appened that on the 24th of
June in last year, Mr. Brent was going from" hts
house to 'Wimpole-street, and he had Occasion to
p"oceed along .Bond-street. The defendant met
him in Bond-street, and he put himself into a si-
tuation and attitude that plainly manifested that
he intended to-insult hi4i as he passed him, he
put his arm out, andthruSt it against the prosecu-
tor's breast in away tha-t,-had it been done to a
stranger, he Would hardly have known how to
have interpreted it; but Mr. Brent could only in-
terpret it into a desire to quarrel, and therefore
with tie prudence which became him, he let him
pars without notice'. In about half an hour after-
wards Mr.' Brent returned dOwn 'Bond-street,
When he observed a lady in a carriage, and Mr.
Foote attending her. Mr. Brent took an opportu-
nity-Of passing him, hoping that he might be un-
perceivea Mr.F,oote; however, advanced towards
him with a quick step; having joined two gentle-
men he had been with before; but whom he had
left at a short distance on the pavement, while-he
was addressing the lady in the carriage. Mr. F.
I should tell you, is a stout athletic young Man,
and Mr. Brent is short in stature, and much more
advanced in years.- When the parties met again,
the assault ''took place: Mr,'Foote doubled his
fist, and gave Mr. B. a violent blow-which loosen-
ed two of Ws Xeeth, and caused the blood to gush
out. Now (let us consider how the case would
have stood if
_it had ,stopped here. AMOng
persons in. common life a •blow of this sort does
not infer that it will lead to further altercation
thqi what may take -place at the moment; .but
among Gentlernen'it is impossible for any one to
receive a blow froth another without considering
it, not myrely as an* insult; but imputing to the
party giving it that he has a design it shall lead to
-those consequences which , the unhappy dispogition
uf the times too freqUently produce when insults
are offered in this manner. Mr. Brent, in the
eisSt moment of his irritation, having nothing but
'a small stick in his hand, sti tick him a slight blow
with it, upon which the two Gentlemen interfered,
and then 'the pro"Secutor, in the agitation of his
gpirit, said, '' I have knoWn 'him -ever' since. he
Was- house is nethis is not a
_ place for, altercation—have you any objection to
go With. me "--The trio Gentlemen Would- pro-
bably have gone with him to his house, and. hay .e
beard Mr. Foote state.lriS grievance, and Mr. Brent
make his reply, but Mr. +Vote immediately ex-
claimed " By God, you shall .ineet inc—name
your tine and place." The two GentleMentitrn-

:drent improperly yielded to the disposition of

the times, and suffered imaginary, notions of ha=
Dour .to: have weighed do wn the sensibilities of
his, nature, and the. recollection of his fornier
friendship.' This, Gentlemen, is the charge
against the defendant. 1 need not occupy any
longer time in stating it to you. Mr. Brent is
anxious to conduit this prosecution so as tot to
excite more resentment. He fee's altogether re=
pugnant to further altercation, having been the
most intimate friend of the father of this defen-
dant. But When an insult has been-offered to this
Gentleman in a public street, and the circum-
stances of it arejikely to be bruited about the
town, it ought to be shewn that he is ready to
vindicate himself, and that be should state that
which I have stated to You, in order that Mr.
Foote might have an opportunity of filing his al.&
davit in reply to the charge. It Was with that
view the present information was moved for, Mr.
Foote gave no answer, and therefore all the facts
which were stated to the Couit, we shall prove.

to-day. It you are of opinion that this assault
was given with the .intention of ppovoking a chal-
lenge, you Will find the defendant guilty on one
or Other of the counts. Whether you find this a
direct challenge, or an assault to provoke a chal-
lenge, in either case you Will pronounce the de-
fendant guilty. When you have done your duty,
Mr. Brent will do his,. He proclaims, thrOugh
-me, that he feels no' animosity against the defen-
dant, except that which a man, insulted With Out
a cause, "May. profess. He is actuated by no ma-
lice; or the least spirit of hostility towards, this
young math If h e cannot live with him on the same
*terms of friendship that he lived with his father,.
he is only anxious iu that case-to have no com-
munication 'With him. When- you..have returned
your verdict, 1 will-say of my client, that a man
of more honourable feelingsdoes.not.exist, lam
persuaded he will be ready to meet a conciliatory
conduct on the part of the defendant, .and to re-
turn that Gentleman a proof of a corresponding
disposition.

AND THE L&TE ATTACK AT MALAGA.
[BY ,A CoRRESPONDEkT./

The gallant officer aboveznamed 11114 full and
fah' grounds for the late attack made upon the
enemy's vessels in the:1110lb of Malaga.—lt is the
rendezvous of anent of privateers little better than
pirates; under the command of a dsrmg adventurer)
nained Barbastro, who has been distinguished by
Buonaparte's presenting him with an EtAgle, as d
testimony: of his approbation of the repeated sitc;-
cesseS 'attending his depredations. The Eagle fell
into the hands of Captain Usher, and well it was"
for him that he did not come' within that hero's

grasp.
The expedition, although brilliant in theiiigh-
est degree; may be considered unfortunate, inas-
much as 68 men and officers belonging to the Gos-
hawk and gyacinth, were either killed or wounded:-
but nothing could -exceed the skill with which the
attack was planned, or the intrepidity with which
it was carried into effect. The wholeof the Atip-
ping in thQ Mole might have been burned, but
not without the risk. of destroying the town.—
This, Captain,Usher, who had been actively and
personally employed ingaining possession cif the
surrounding forts, thought might implicate the.
ruin ,of friends as well as foes, therefore declined.
The enemy_had every advantage of a moonli.-Ot
night and. adverse Wind (from its, changing) to
fire upon our gallant tars : beside;, it is feared
that they were apprised of the-intended attack by -
the treachery of some Spanish boatmen; aniffully
prepared for it. •

- The partial failure of the full completion of
this atttek will not however damp' the ardour of
our gallant tars ; and the public may soon expect
to be gratified by a detail of more successful ex-
ploits under the gallant leader of the attack at Ma-
laga ; for where ver.services of danger are to be
sought, or the enemies, of Great Britain are to .be
found, thety will _the gallant Usher appear conspi-
cuous-.

It shc• I be remembered by the relations of
those who have gloriously fallen upon this occa-
sion, or'other persons disposed, to despond, that
the great hero of the Nile, who afterwards ex-
pired in a blaze of glorious victory, outdoing all
his forme: doings, was not always' quite success-
ful. Captain Usher (whose merits have hitherto
been greatly obscured by his extreme modesty) is an
Officer of the first distinction, as remarkable for

coolness of judgment, as for. great' skill and un-
daunted gallantry : he-may be said to have fairly
fought his way from the little Colpoys. schooner
to the command of a frigate. flis' splendid ser-
vices,
,while e6runianding the 'Redwing, in the Gut
of Gibraltar, previous to the amicable arrange-
ments with Spain, .(and duriag 'which immense
rewards were offered by the Spanish people for
his head, dead or alive) will long be remembered
by the inhabitants of the surrounding coasts • with
a mixture of 'terror and admiration.

It has fallen to( the lot of this Officer, while
presenting a memorial, soliciting a pension .for va-
rious wounds received in the service of his Coun-
try, to approach very near to the celebrated me-
morial presented upon a similar occasion by the
immortal Nelson ; for Captain Usher could, like
the hero named, state himself to have been more.,
than one hundred times personally' enaged with
the enemies of his country—to have . been ivound-
ed in almost every part of his body, and t 6 have
shared in the glory occapturing nutheriMs ships,
fleets, forts, and batteries.. NOr bravery the
only, characteristic of this rising character—the
attributes of a feeling heart are so fully depicted'
irs the following letter relating to a gallant young
Officer, felt in the laie AiLicic at Malaga,' that
fOr the honour of bOth'.parties it should be .given
to tlt world.

Captain U. writes thus to a friend

" i-Iyacipth-, off Malaga, May 1, 1812.
" MY Dfuß
" It is with extreme sorrow I have to acquaint
you of tli.e death of my gallant follower and friend
Thorn Son, who fell in the attack upon the enemy's
privateers at :Malaga, on the 29th ult. I sincerely,
trustthat it Willbe some consolation to' his poor fa-
mily to know that nothing could be more glorious
than hi's conduct, and he fell regretted and honoured
by all who knew him. I cannot. express what I
have felt upon this occasion. These trying
events make our situation far from enviable.

(Signed) ", T. USHER."
Nor should a letter from the young Officer here
spoken of, written the night before the attack, to
his widowed mother, pass unnoticed ; it breathes

the sentiments of a true sailor, and pourtrays the
heroic, spirit animating-tbe breasts of our gallant.
defenders. I/ is as follows :

"MY DEAR MOTHER,
" Since my last letter, we halve the good for-.
tune to be ordered off Malaga, the only spot the
French have got hereabout ; in it there arc five
large and small privateers, with some merchant-

. .
men : commanded by batteries,- with some

thousand French soldiers. We arc planning every
thing we can to take it by storm. It is a service

of soine risque, and whoever is lucky enough to
escape with whole bones or heads, will obtain
pro►uotion ; but in case any thing -unlucky should

turn out, I have taken this opportunity of writing
to you, that \you may be able to say he fell in a
good capse—defending his King and Country.
• So, my dear Mother,
Adieu for ever !
