TIDE KING V. JONES.
. -
Mr. ,DALLAS moved the jusigment of the Coitii
on William, Jones, who Stood charged With assault-
ing and obsteueling James Highnell, an Officer of
the Revenue, in the execution of hiS duty. The
Defendant had suffered Judgment to pass by defxilt.
It appeared by the Afiid:ivis, that the Defeneant
was a servant to Messrs Harding and Co., Soap
Boilers, at Bristol ; that the Prosecutor, James
Hignell, was the Excise Officer who at_tended that
,Manufaelory, and that he.was accused by the De-
fendant of not coming early enough to open the
warehouse of Messrs. Harding, to enable the seen
to proceed to work; for they could not proceed
before it. was opened by him. every morning ; upOrt
this a quarrel arose between the Excise Officer and
the Defendant, in which the words 'scoundrel, rascal,
&c: occurred, the-result of which was, that the De:. •
fendant gave the Prosecutor a box on the ear.-Botif
had good characters for attention to their business.
Mr. justice G ROSE -said, that the-Defendant stoo
to receive the Judgment of the Court for very im,
proper. conduit,. that of assaulting a Revenue Officer
:who was bound to do his duty to the Public, and
-at .a time when he was upOn the performance. of
-that duty. The words the Defendant made use of
.were very improper, and might have provoked the
Prosecutor; at the same time the Prosecutor's Jan:
guage, was improper also. Considering the whole
of the Case, the Sentence of the Court Upon, hini
was, That he be committed to the custody of the
Marshal _of the Marshalsea of that Court for two
weeks, and then discharged.

LAND, their. Commander, a very elegant sword,

Major received it with evident marks of emotion,
and after saying a few words to the Serjeant-Major,
he gave him his own sword, and put the one he
had received in its place. He then expressed his
acknowledgments to the Corps in terms'- which we

them.
