COURT OF COM-MON PLEAS.—June 19.

DARBY V. CAUNT.

Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Prentice were counsel for
the plaintiff ; 'Mi. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. W. G.
Harrison appeared for the defendant.
This was an action for assault and false imprisonment
by the plaintiff, a pugilist, against the defendant, another
prize-fighter, and landlord of a public-house in St. Mar-
tin's-lane.

It appeared that an altercation took place between the
parties in front of tbe •bar of a public-house, kept by a
Mr. Langbam, also a pugilist, in the immediate vicinity
of Leicester-square. It - was stated that the plaintiff
was standing in front of the bar when the defendant
abused, and struck, and charged him with stealing five
sovereigns from his pocket.
The plaintiff was called, and when he appeared in the
witness-box be was covered with bandages and plais;er.
It appeared from his statement that be was set upon by
three or four men yesterd I,y morning, and cruelly
thrashed. As he was suffering severely from what the
learrel judge termed this "brutal and cowardly as-
atilt," he was permitted to sit down while giving his
evidence. He stated that Caunt was standing in Lang-
ham's bar parlour, and that they were pretty friendly
together, and as be turned to go out some one pushed
him against Caunt, who immediately struck him, and
charged him with putting his hand into his pocket.
Caunt caused him to be taken into custody, and he was
charged then simply wi aa..aasault, but afterwards
Caunt gave -him tliarge-for ideating five sovereigns.
Several witnesses were called, and Mr. Sergeant Bal•
lantine rose to address the jury, when
The Lord. Chief Baron intimated that it would be
better for the interests of all parties concerned if some
arrangement could be made.
After a brief consultation between the learned counsel
and the parties, it was agreed that the defendant should
pay 501. damages and 501. costs.

off. The drawers in the front parlour had also &en broken
open, and three or four 51. notes and a quantity of gold,
which I had received a few days before from one of rn%
tenants, bad been abstracted from them. The prosecu
trix added, tbat on looking more closely at the prisoner
Fleckhart, she felt satisfied that he was the same man
who had called upon her in February, with the manifest
intention of plundering the premises on that occasion.
The depositions of the prosecutrix having been read over
to the prisoners, who declined to ask her any questions,
the whole of them were remanded for final examination
on Tuesday next.
