THE KING V. WEST.
The defendant was indicted for an assault on Mr.
Herepath, a literary gentleman, residing at Notting-
hill. The indictment' had been removed by certio-
rari to this Court.
Mr. BLACKBURN, for the prosecution, stated that
Mr. Herepath, who is known to the public by his
writings on astronomy, mathematics, philosophy,
and other sciences, was in this instance a sort of
victim to the disputes and quarrels of his children.
In consequence of battles between the children of
Mr. West and Mr. Herepath, the latter ordered his
boys to cut off all communication with the adverse
family. Mr. West, unable to restrain his resent-
ment within the bounds of decorum, commenced a
long strain of abuse, and bestowed the most provok-
ing epithets upon Herepath, whom he threatened
to kick up and down Bedford-street, his place of
residence. Suiting the action to the word, he
struck the prosecutor in the face, and occasioned a
severe illness.
After the assault had been proved, the Jury found
a verdict of Guilty, and the defendant entered into
sureties.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 3.

Sittings at Westminster Hall before the LORD CHIEF
JUSTICE.)
ROLAND V. BULLOCK. _ .

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to
recover compensation for an injury which his child
sustained by the defendant's careless drividg.
On the 4th of March last the defendant, a re-
spectable elderly gentleman, connected with the
Treasury, was driving his chaise through the Marsh-
gate, on the Surrey side of Westminster Bridge,
when the child of the plaintiff, having a basket in
her hands, suddenly rushed across the street and
came in contact wiih the breast of the horse, and
knocked down. The defendant, being an elderly gen-
tleman and near-sighted, did not observe the child
until the wheels of the chaise (a light one) passed '
over her body. He immediately pulled up, and
had the child removed to a medical gentleman's,
where he ordered every attention to be paid it, and
subsequently he paid all the necessary expenses, and
offered any compensation that might be thought
liberal. The child recovered in a week, and was
quite able to pursue its usual avocations. Not-
withstanding defendant's offer of compensation the
present action was commenced.
For the plaintiff it was contended that by the
accident the child would be disabled for life, she
having got a tumour on her neck, owing to an in-
jury of the vertebra. This was negatived by the
defendant's witness, a medical gentleman, who
swore that the tumour en the neck was owing to
the scrofulous habits of the child, and that the
child's health was by no means injured by the
' accident.
The Jury, after an hour's consultation, found a
verdict for the plaintiff—aimages 501.
The verdict seemed to be received with a consi-
derable degree of surprise.
