SURREY ASSIZES.

KINGSTON, MARCH 23.

Tnts day the business Of the Assizes began. In
she Civil Cuurt two or three reenrds were..with-
drawn, the subjet of :them bei.ug referred to arbi-
titic)n. 01 those that were tried this day, the,
most ittportant was

CHIPPENHAM V. SHIPLEY.

The Plaintiff is an Undertaker, usually residing
in London ; the Defendant -resides at Horsleydown,
and is-Proprietor of amill in the neighbourhood of
Wandsworth : across the Defendant's null-dam there
is a wooden bridge, over which people usually pass
in going from the Bell Public house to the town
of Wandsworth : this 'bridge was in such a bad
condition on Sunday the zist of ()Cipher, ;Soo, that
the Plaintiff fell through it, by which accident the
Plaintiff's legs were so lacerated, that he was pre-
vented from following his _busines3 for six weeks,
and was obliged to have recourse to medical assist-
ance ; he had therefore brotiglit the present Mtion,
to recover some compensation for the injury he had
so rustained, in consequence of the Delenditrit's
negligence in not keeping his bridge in proper re-
po r.

[lt appeared in the examination of the Witnesses,
that the same night a. Mrs. Constable fell through
a hale in the' oor of the bridge, broke her leg, and
died in consequence of t be-aecitle nL]
On 'the pqt of,the Defen4ant,it was argued, that
the Aaion -tvould not lie, unless negligence could.
be proved in the Defendant or his agents ; it was en-
deavoured to be 'proved that there w4ts no negligence,
as-Abe Defendant's agent had gi yen.iiireons for the
repair of this bridge same days, before the accident
happened, and as the fatt was, that the very day
before, the holes in the bridge. had been stn pelf
with sound oak planks, and that. the accident was
Owing to a third. person having taken Away some of
those planks that very night. . . ,

Scricant Sts Er It zk e, therefore,' orif the part of
the Defendant, contend:4i that his client could-not
be called upon for damages. in consequence of an ac...
cident occasioned by the criminal ad of a third per-
son, of which he had no notice. •
• Mr. GAxttow, in reply, obServed, that if the
old timber to which those sound oak planks had
been nailed *as so rotten that the platiltA Could be
taken up and carried away close to a publit house,
without any noise of a hammer or sound of violence,
' there *as almost as Much negligence in this sloven-
ly mode of repairing, as if the repairs had been
altogether omitted.
The fury, with very. little hesitation, found for
the 'Plaintiff with 4.61. damages, being the whole
sum charged in the declaration.
In the Criminal
.Court, Joseph Barker, a young
gentleman. not above eighteen years of age, was ca.
pitally inditted for having uttered as true, he know-
ing it to-,be- forged, a certain paper, purporting to
be a draft for 5081. t 3i. of Robert Polhill, on
11)/?,srs.,Wilkinson and,Co. The uttering of the
forged draft was
.clearly proved: but a number
of respettable witnesses, both relations of the Pri.,
loner, and medical persons attending him, proved
that his mind was deranged, both at the time of his
uttering. it, and for a considerable time before,' He
was consequently Acimitted;

Simon Isaac.; was found Guilty of a burglary and
robbery in the Borough-of Southiiiark.

Monday C. Games was charged before Mr. Al.
deiman SK I NNE R, at Guildhall, with having robbed
Messrs. Pritchard and Co. wholesale Linen-drapers,
in Lawrence-lane, Mr. Pritchard told the Magis-
trate that he had at e6veritl times been robbed while
the Prisoner had lived with hirogs porter,- but a,;
that time had considered him free. from suspicion.,
A Butcher, however,, in Honey lane Market, had.
taken ()Phis apprentice for robbing. him, who urged
in extenuation, that he had' been set on by Pritch.
ard's porter ; Mr. Pritchard heard of this circum-
stance, and discharged-the Prisoner from his service.
A short time after, he .received an anonymous let-
ter, infortning• hires, if he took-an Officer, and
searched -the house, where Games's mother resided, he
might find, some, of his lost. property. Mr. Pritchard
accordingly went to the house, and- to his surprite
found a quantity of coarse wrapper, which he knew
to be his-own property. In the mean time the Pri.
soner .had hired himself to Messrs.. Beaumont,
Rhode acid co. Warehouseme' Grocers' Hall-court,
in the, Poultry, where the Prisoner was apprehended
on Saturday. These Gentlemen alsd found a quan.
tity of their wrappers at the house where the Pri.
soner's mother lived, Mr. Pritchard said, he should
not have taken. so much trouble to bring the Pri.
soner to justice, had he not lost a wrapper contain-
ing near 301, worth of goods, and which he now
suspected the Prisoner was no stranger to.
