against the steps„ and he fell like.abullock. Mr.
Palmer, another Witness, went and picked him tip;.
he appeared to be --So much hurt that he did not
then know how.,much. The Witness saw blood
coming down the bridge of his nose.... The Wit-
ness saw-no blow given, but the Plaintiff appeared
to be ,very much hurt. There was a sue abaut
the padlock, and that was the cause of the dispute;
the Plaintiff insisting that the Defendant should
not go in, and the Defendant insisting' that he
should. The Witness saw the padlock On the door,
but did not know.wha had put it on. • , •
John Palmer said lie "saw the Defendant at the
Plaintiff's house at the time already stated ; heard
the Plaintiff ask. the Defendant what authority he
bad to come there ?. :He said, he would come. The
Witness. then described the-scuffle.which took place,
as the other Witness had done. He said he picked
'up the .Plaintiff, and asked him if he was :much
hurt ? He did not know then how much, for the
blood was issuing' from his nose;' the Witness:
'took him up-staiis—he-, was violently burr. The
Witness went for the .D.oaor, Mr. Winterbottom,
of Bow-street. He saw the Defendant afterwards
in the Plaintiff's shop ; he did not see the Plaintiff
unlock the.door; the Defendant kept ilittle bro-
kers' shop.

Abraham Winterbottom, an Apothecary, in Bow_
street.—On the 13th of Oaober I went 'to 'Mr.
Cook, and saw him at his houSe ; it was in the.fore-
, found him very. bloody ; there was a'vio-
lent contusion on his nose and eyes. 'I examined the
case. It appeared he had pitched on the edge-of
thi. stairs. The arm was not broke, but it was
hurt. If it had not been for the bridge of- his nose
he ;would have 10t his eyes. I applied external
medicines, and gave .him some internal remedy.
He complained very much of his arm, but when I
had looked, at it, I said. I did not believe it was
broken. He was, however, hurt very much, and
obliged to carry his arm in a sling for several days.
He is an Hair..dresser by trade: He was confined,
-for several days.
•Mr. GARROW, on the part of the Defendant,
admitted. that this conduct was improper, 'but
treated the matter lightly, as a mere scuffle about
getting into this room, in which the Defendant, he
said, was right as to insisting on going into the
room, for he was desired to do so by the Tenant,
Who had been improperly locked out of this lodg-
ing. As to the external and internal' rernedleS
which were administered by this Donor, he pre-
sumed that the one might have been a bit of brown
paper steept in vinegar, or a bit of raw beef, pro_
batum est: and for the internal, a little cephalic
snuff. It was impossible to visit this Defendant
with any thing like serious Damages.
M. Justice LAWRENCE. " This is an MliOn
brought by William Cook, for satisfa&ion for the
injury he has received from Richard Davis. It is
admitted, that the Defendant was not justified in
what "he did. The Plaintiff has received an in_
jury.---You have heard the circumstances of ,the
Case. It is your duty to give him iyhat you think
he ought to receive in Damages; what the amount
of them should be is not for me to say ; you will
judge of it."

SWINDLER.—In our Paper a few days ,ago, we
gave an account of a swindler who resided .some•
time in Carlisle, where he was known by the. name
of JOHN THOMAS. We since find, that in several
otherplaces in the Notth of England he practised
his deceptions under the name of RENWALD. He
is represented to possess a most insinuating ad-
dress, by the aid of which- he is probably now in
some remote part of the country, augmenting the
number of his dupes. In the hope, therefore, that
they may lead to his deteaion, we insert die
lowing particulars respecting him, with which we
have been furnished by our Correspondent at Car.
