JENNER V. JENNER-JUDGMENT.

6) 61

His Honour said—ln this case the plaintiff seeks to set
aside, or rather asks to renovate a resettlement of a family
estate, which gives hint an estate for life instead of an
estate tails. The father and son agre'3d to disentail the
estate and mortgage it for £lO,OOO to the use of the father,
to increase the jointure of his wife from £l,OOO to £1,500,
and make provision for his younger children. The plain-
tiff (the eldest son) alleged that he misunderstood the terms
of this agreement, and asked for a reconveyanco of the
estate to him in tail. His Honour, on considering the evi-
dence produced, and the authorities referred to, came to the
conclusion that the plaintiff sufficiently understood that his
interest in the estate tail was to be reduced to an estate for
life, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs,

Common Jury.)
PLEWERS V. WOOD AND ANOTHER.

Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Pearce were for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. T. Atkinson for
the defendants.

This .action was brought to recover damages against the
contractors for making a sewer at. Hackney, by the plaintiff,
a boy of 15, who had fallen into it while in the course of
construction. Mr. Sergeant Parry, at the commencement
of the case, said that the defendants would give the plain-
tiff no technical difficulty, as they wished merely to try the
question of liability on its merits. On the 12th October,
1858, the plaintiff, who lives with his parents at Stoke
Newington, was sent for a loaf of bread betwen 7 and 8
o'clock in the e ening. At the corner of Wellington-street
and Hindle-street the defendants' sewer was open, and the
plaintiff, in crossing, fell into it. His thigh was broken,
and he was for some months in Bartholomew's Hospital.
The result has been that the boy's hip-joint has become
permanently stiff, and that he is lame for life, one leg being
shorter than the other. For the plaintiff it was proved that
the sewer was not protected at all, by either rails, lights, or
watchers, and that even the earth thrown out had been in a
great measure removed. The defence was that the de-
fondents had been guilty of no negligence, and that the boy
had contributed by his own carelessness, in running'along
the embankment, to the accident. The evidence was, as is
usual in similar cases, extremely contradictory, and the
statement that the sewer was unprotected was denied by
several witnesses.

The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff—damages £BO.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAGE ASSAULT.—James Hayes, 1, Little White lion-
street, a shoemaker, was brought before Mr. Beadon
charged with the following savage assault •
Mr. Haycroft, a general dealer, residing in Clement's-
lane, said the prisoner, who had been drinking, came up to
him at the corner of Broad-street, knocked him down with-
out the slightest provocation, and while on the ground fixed
his teeth in his cheek, and "regularly gnawed it." He
had never seen the prisoner before, and was wholly at a loss
to account for the prisoner's act of cannibalism. [The pro-
secutor's cheek bore a frightful wound.]
James Church, a young man residing at 15, Searle-street,
Marylebone, said, while passing the end of Broad-street he
saw the prisoner, who wanted to fight some one, pitch on
the prosecutor, and they both went down together, and on
their getting up the prosecutor's cheek was covered with
blood, as was also the prisoner's mouth.
Prisoner said he had no recollection of it.

Mr. Beadon said it was perfectly extraordinary. Since
last year upwards of 40 cases of biting had come before
him. He would punish all cases of the kind as severely as
he could, and he wished he could inflict hard labour. He
should fine him £5, or two months' imprisonment.
