QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
and a Special Jury.)
INGLIS V. THE EAST INDIA. COMPANY.
In this action, which was on covenant,
who was foreman of the engine works at Bombs), sough'
to recover 29 months' salary at the rate of 4801. per
annum. the platntia,

6lr. Efamfrey and Mr. Barstow conducted the plain"
tiff's Cage, and Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Peacock, and 61r.
Forsyth represented the company.
It appeared that the plaintiff went out to India in 1841. •
and remained there in the service of the company until
1848, when he returned to England on leave of absence,
in consequence of ill health. The only question in th°
case was, whether under the contract or engagement
entered into with the company the plaintiff, during his
absence in this country on leave, was really in the ser-
vice of the company, and entitled to be paid the lull
amount of his salary.
There being no facts in dispute, the parties agreed to
a special case for the opinion of the Court above, instead
of going to the jury.

James Chaplin. The prisoners pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Ryland, with whom was Mr. Clarke, appeared for
the prosecution; and Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Pafnell, and
Mr. Woollett defended the prisoners, the first appearing
for Hickey, the second for Cane, and the third for
M`Eiliott.
Mr. RYLAND having opened the case to the jury, giv-
ing a abort outline of the facts as they were afterwards
declared in the evidence, proceeded to call the following
witnesses:—
Edward Newton examined by Mr. CLARKE-1 am
police constable. I was on duty on the morning of she
sth of May with the deceased. It was at the Vauxhall-
wharf. About one o'clock in the morning I heard a noise.
I was then near the corner of Salamanca-street. 'heard
I the disturbance near to the Pheasant, about the middle of
the wharf. I went to the spot where the noise came
from, and I found there the deceased and nine or ten
men, amongst whom were the prisoners Hickey and
ht'Elliott. The men were making a great noise, and
the deceased said to them, "If you do not go home
quietly, I will lock one or two of you up." I spoke to
Hickey and MiElliott. I said to them, "Go home, my
good men, and don't make a noise at this hour of the
morning when people are all gone to bed." Hickey
said they knew what time it was, as they had it in their
pockets. I then crossed over the road to a man and
woman who were following, and while I was speaking to
them four or five of the others seemed to go on faster
towards the Queen's Head. I followed them, and when
I came opposite Salamanca•street, they appeared to rush
at me all at once. The deceased at this time was on the
pavement directly opposite Salamanca-street. I saw
the prisoner Hickey strike the deceased with a brick-
bat on the side of the head, who staggered against a
shutter and drew his staff. Ho struck at Hickey. I
rushed across the road, and I saw the
prisoner Cane strike the deceased on the left
side of the head near the temple. The blow knocked the
deceased down, and while he was falling a third blow
was struck at him by some one whom I did not recog-
nise. There were four or five persons around the de-
ceased at the time the blows were struck. The third
blow also struck the deceased on the left side of the
head, and ho fell to the ground, but I could not see then
whether he was bleeding. As the deceased was falling I
rushed upon the prisoner Cane and caught him by the
collar. I struck him with my staff over the temple, and
I in return received a blow from a stone on the right
shoulder. I was then knocked down, but I did not loose
my hold upon Cane, and succeeded in getting up again.
I was no sooner up than I received another blow which
felled me, and upon getting up I ran into Salamanca-
street and sprung my rattle. The prisoners in the mean-
while ran away, and while I was springing my rattle two
other constables came
wasp,u, and we returned to the spot
where the deceased ying. We lilted him up and
carried him to the Queun's head. From information I
received from another constable I went to 49, Vauxhall-
wharf, and after kilocking some time I was admitted.
When I entered the house I savv Hickey come out of a
wash-house. He was bleeding from the right temple,

The other constable asked
him how came the blood on his hands, and he replied
that his nose had beeu bleeding. When we got out into
the street, I saw the prisoner M'Elliott standing against
the railing of 49. I turned my lamp on him, and said,
" hallos,, young fellow, here is another of them." A
third constable came ut, and the two were then taken to
the station-house. When I returned to the house, I
