and the' defendant took him to another part of the Docks,
and sliming him some red wine, told him it was part of tha
cargo of the ;Milian; and Mary, but did not state front

of the same cargo at 25/. per pipe, and on the 12th he purchased
11 nne,.pan of the cargo of the .Juno, at 201. The cargoes of
theie two vessels were consigned from Tarragona to a Mr.
Barry, from whom,, on the days on, which the- sales to
litaintitr were made, the defendant purchased the wine it,
question at 17/. per pipe. It was in port pipes of 138 gal.
loos each.

On behalf of the defendant it was stated, that the plaintiff,
to whom that! Wto4 Ott evidence that the defendant had ever re-
presented the wine to be pert, mixed it with interior wine.when

Carlos's sale, he sold it to his Wends at a prier conSidershly
above prime coat. But when the imposition w;toe &netted; Mc
plaintiff' endeavoured to clear his own abstracter by imputinl
deception to the &fondant ; for which putpese he brought the
present actioti,
After a good deal of evidence was offered on both sides, the

This was an indictment against the defendant, one of the por-:
tees of the Inner Temple, for assaulting a city constable.
appeared that a house m Ram-alley, having been presented 3 4
in a state of dilapidation, the city surveyor's carpenters were
directed to erect a hoard round it; for which purpose they
entered the Temple, to make boles for posts; but the defendanc,
under the direetionlof the Under-Treasurer, proceeding to turn
them out, a scuffle ensued, which led to this prosecution.
The Jury found the defendant guilty (under his Lordship',
direction), subject to the opinion of the Court of King's Benet I,
as to whether or not the prosecutor was justified in entering the
Temple for the purpose, and in the manner above stated, under'
the provisions of the building act.
