HERTFORD, MONDAY, MARCH 11.

HOINBUCNLE v. EDMONDS.
Mr. SerjeantISKEETARD said, that this was in
alien not brought front any vindictive motives,
nqr with a deaire of obtaining damages from the
pocket`of the Defendant, but merely-with a view of
justifying ,the charafter of the Reverend Gentleman
who had been so foully and so scancialously slandered.
Mr. GARROW here interrupted the Learned Ser_
jeant, and said, that he was -auihorised to acknow-
..ledp, that no imputation could be. Cast against the
charafter of the. Plaintiff; and if his Client had

spoken the words imputed to him by the &elm.
lion', of which he solemnly declared he had no_ re..
collitlion, they were spoken in a state of drunken.
ness, which totally deprived him of all reason.
Mt. SCliCillt SIitiPPARD ORA that WR9 all which

This was an salon for a curio9s and not an un.
entertaining Assault, to which.the Defendant had
pleaded that the Plaintiff began theassault.
Mr. Serjeant Sitar P AR DjOr the. Defendant, began
with the proof of the justification. ',He stated, that
the Plaintiff vvas a 'glazier, and .the Defendant a
coach.master at Watford;'' in this county. It hap.
pened that they had had, bickerings together, when,
on the 29t11 of December last, they met by chance
in the street at. Watford, and the Plaintiff addteried
the, Defendant by telling him,: that hehad better go.
sednoiligi as the rest of,. his family bad, done, with
much more 'abuse of the like sort.' This, although
nojuatificationof an assault in law, was, however,
a very great exeuse.. -But the Defendant did not as.
fault ,him; he contented himself with a users reply ;
and calling to him a little buy, he held him up, anti
"• here; my boy, will you Beat him, for
any boy can do it." The Plaintiff provoked at this,
and having a sash frame ita- his hand, stock the De.
fondant upon the shins, and then it was that the De.
fendanti• being a little irritated with his smarting
shin.bones, gave him a dowse on the oar in return;
and this was the whole affair:which a Special Jury
of the County alkaloid was called on to adjwL
'William Hearty stated, he was in the street at
Watford, in company With the Defendant, on the day
of the affray.' He saw the Plaintiff. doming up the
street, and as soon as he came near, the Defendant
said, " Who enines here Is this my Lord Bottle
Broth .2",.."11 IS this the man that stole- the watch?"
•—••••14 Is this the man that stole the cabbages ?"—The
Plaintiff in renly:saidthat the other. had better go
stamping as the rest of the family !ma done. After
some further altercation, the plairitiffhii the
arts on the shin'with a sash frame that he had in
his hand ; upon which the latter, who'had been
holding tip a boy; put him down, •and4aare
Plaintiff a couple of blows 'on the head.
Mr. GaattOw, for the Plaintiff, contended,: that
the Defendant had committed: the first assault,. and
that he had violently thrust the buy against' the
Plaintiff. • •
The principal Witness to prove this fin w:as the
boy himself,. Who eorroborated• the above particu-
lars.
