EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the Lord Chief Baron.)
GAYLOR. V. MORRIS AND ANOTHER.

Mr. HUMPHREY (who apeeared, with Mr. Charnock,
for plaintiff) stated that this was an action brought to
recover damages for an assault committed by the de-
fendants, Messrs. R. and J. Morris, who were repre-
sented as sporting men, on the plaintiff, who was the
servant of Mr. Bullen, a surgeon, residing in the City,
on the 7th of July last. On the day in question the
plaintiff was standing with his master's horse and gig in
Chiswell-street, when the defendants, who were driving
through the street, imperiously ordered him to stand
out of the way. This he was unable to do, and the de-
fendants immediately struck the horse, and directly
afterwards the plaintiff himself, threw him on the pave-
ment, and beat him. The defendants had given an ad-
dress at Lea House, Brompton, which afterwards turned
out to be a false one.

Witnesses having been called to confirm this state-
ment,

Mr. WATSON, with whom was Mr. Jamey, proceeded
to addre6s the jury on behalf of Mr. Robert Morris, and
stated Mr. John Morris was not in the gig at a!l that
day, and he should call evidence to show, that although
an assault had certainly been committed, it had been so
provoked as to be quite justifiable. The I.erson who was
in fact driving the deg cart was a Mr. Maughan, who
did in truth reside wOli his tether at Lea 'louse,
Brampton, where Mr. Morris fr. Trendy visited.
Mr. JAMES said he a. peered for Mr. John Morris,
and should call the Clerk of Newmarket Race Course to
show that Mr. John Morris was at Newmarket on the
day of the alleged assault.
Mr. M.,ughan was then called, who stated that he was
(hiving the dog cart on the 7th of July, and there being
a ~umber of carriages before him, he requested the
plai tiff to lead his mast,l.'s horse forward a little to
enable hire to pass. This he sulkily refused to do, and
after several r, quests made in vain he struck the horse
of Mr. Bullen to make it move forward. The plaintiff
immediately seized the head of the defendant's horse,
which was a very spirited animal, and caused it to
plunge and rear. In order to obviate mischief Mr.
Robert Morris got down from the carriage and struck
the plaintiff, to make him release his hold upon the
horse.

Other evidence having been produced to confirm this
statement of the case,
Mr. HUMPHREY replied, and the
Lord CHIEF BARON summed up.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages
501., aga" nst R. Morris, and for the defendant as regarded
John Morris.

CONFIRMATION OF THE BISHOP
OF CBES PER.—(THIS DAY.)
This day having been appointed for the confirmation
of the Rev. Dr. John Graham, Master of Christ's Col-
lege, Cambridge, who has been elected Bishop of Chester
in the room of the Right Rev. John Bird Sumner, D.D.,
promoted to the Archbishopric of Canterbury, a consi-
derable degree of interest was excited.
The Bishopric of Chester being in the province of
York, the confirmation of the election would, under
ordinary circumstances, have taken place in York
Minster, but the Archbishop of York issued his commis-
sion to the civil authorities for the confirmation, and
requested the Bishops of the province of Canterbury to
assist in the consecration.

The Commission was directed to Dr. Burnaby, the
Vicar-General; Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, Dean of the
Arches; Sir John Dodson, Dean of the Faculties; the
Right Hon. Stephen Lushington, LLD., Chancellor of
the diocese of London; and Francis Hart Dyke, Esq.,
her Majesty's Proctor.
The proceedings took place at St. James's Church,
Piccadilly.
The Commissioners having taken their seats,
Mr. DYKE, the Registrar, read the license of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, allowing the Archbishop of
York to confirm and consecrate the new Bishop any-
where withi❑ the province of Canterbury ; and after-
wards a commission from the Archbishop of York,
whereby he set forth that he had received letters from
the Quuen commanaing him to confirm the election of
Dr. John Graham to be Bishop and Pastor of the see
of Chester.

Mr. Dyke having concluded, Mr. Townsend, Proctor
for the Dean and Chapter of Hen ford, handed in her
Majesty's letters pattlit and presented Dr. Graham to
be confirmed.

JAMES BARBER, E,q., the Apparitor•General, then
came forward and said :—O, yez ! U, yez ! All manner
of persons who shall object to the confirmation of the
election of the Rev. John Graham, D.D., to be Bishop of
the episcopal see of Chester, are now to come forward
and make their objections in due form of law, and they
shall be heard.

No persons appearing, the Bishop elect took the usual
oaths, and the procer.diogs tht,n terminated.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
(THIS DAY.)
DISSOLU HON OF I lIE BODY.

On the lis,,emb,ing of the delegates this morning a
desultory discussion took place with respect to the pre-
sentation of the national memorial.
Mr. KYDD said proces-tons did no good, and if the
Assembly determined to have one, he for one should not
attend it.
Mr. CARVER said, that go borne he must, the state of
his exchequer prev.-nting him staying longer in London.
Mr. STEVENSON said thenational memorial had proved
a national failure.
The speaker was• called to order, but be maintained
that what he said was perfectly true, upon which con-
siderable confusion arose, and uitimately the noise and
uproar became so great that he was obliged to resume
his seat. _ _

Mr. LEACH said there was no use denying the faot that
the Assembly did not represent the Chartist body. lie
for one was thoroughly disgusted with the proceedings.
Mr. DONOVAN said it was all nonsensical to think of
a procession under present circumstances.
Several other delegates then spoke upon the subject,
and it was ultimately resolved that the presentation of
the memorial should be left with the executive.
