MO. dARrtOW. moveil for a Rule to show Cause
why a Criminal information should not be filed
against two Gentlemen of the names of Cork and
Upshaw, for ,a challenge to Mr. Askew. He.
grounded his -motion on the following .faas, as
disclosed in an Affidavit of Mr..Askew's, .who was
a son of Sir Edward Askew. That Gentleman
stated, that on the z ► of June he was in the Le&ure
Room of Sr. Thomas's fl)spital, in the Borough,
,and was sitting at the end oft!e!, form,-having scarcely
tom fir himself. Mr. Cork came to him, and sat
himself 'down cup the edge of the ftirtn close to him.
'Mr. A. told him there was not room there, and ad_
vied hint to gig to another part of the room where
there was a vacant place ; he did not stir, when Mr.
A. setting himself upright, in order to retain his seat,
it necessarily thrust Mr. COrk off the form, and
he fell to the ground ; he rose and went to- the 'we.
cant place. Mr. .A. thought that -the- business
• would have here ended.; but-as he was going to leave
the room, Mr. Cork came to him; and asked, his
'name aid address, which he-gave him.. in the af-
ternoon. of the same, day, the other Gentleman
against whom he moved, Mr. Upatsvic came to him
(tom Mr. Cask, and demanded either an apology or
a meeting. Mr. A. said he had done -nothing
wrong, and he, should make no ap,th,gy. Mr. Cork
next sent him a letter, in which he called him." a
coward," for refusing satisfaCtion ; and, not content
'with this, he placarded printed hand-bills against
the wills, in which lie accused Mr. A. of insultiog
Gentlemen who were foreigners' (they are, it seem-
ed, Anierkans), and then refused them satitifadion,
on the pretenee of the respeaability of his connee..
tions ; for this he proclaimed him a coward, &c.--
Rule ftiSl granted.

This was an Ae'lion for an. Assault committed by
running against the Plaintiff's chaise, and cutting
the traces,. and reins of the harness, To this the
Pefendant had pleaded a most whimsical plea, tha;
one D. I'l'Kcnzie, whose son and servant the De-
fendant was, :,ad had the chaise in which the Plain-
tiff was riding, stolen from him ; that in order to
know who the Plaintiff was, he &tit?), ran against
the chaise, and that with a knife he then held in his
band, he gent& cut one of the traces, at which the
Plaintiff being greatly irritated, he gently cut the
tins of the harness with the above-mentioned knife,
and that all this was dune to make the Plaintiff tell
his name, and place of abode. The fads producing
this plea were as,follows:,--the Defendant's father
bad had the chaise stolen froM him by a man,of the
name of Ilughes, who was convieled of the robbery
at the Old- Bailey. The. Plaintiff , had hired it
of a Mr. Newman, a coachmaker, and being Mit
be met the Defendant, who, recognizing the'cliaise,
asked the Plaintiff where he got that chaise
it waknonc of his property, for that he the De.
fentlant had been sk%:iticlled out of it. the manner
of this inquiry displeased the .Plaintiff,' and he re.
t‘u him ,who he was ; but drove ori-frcim
the Edgware:road' liainmen,, mit h. ThC Defend.:
aot followed him ; and at ilam.nersinith he locked
the wheels of his own chaise with the One of the
Plaintiff; and then got down and cut the reins from
tile horse's mouth. '
For the Defendant, 'it was proved that he.repeat.
edly asked the Plaintiff for his address, which be, rt.
fused to give him.-- ,Verdict for the

tended, that his Lsarned Friend's consttuaion of
His Majesty's Proclamation, in applying the word
" returning" to every returning,. from whatever
cause, was incorred. Ile, on the-other hand, in.
sisted, that the word in the Proclamation applied
only to the final returning of any Commander in
Chief, and that it dal not contemplate such a return-
ing as that of Lord St. Vincent, who was then re.
turning to England on account of his health, and
intended again to return to his Command. He was
not supets.eded in his Command, but continued to
enjoy that situation long after these Prizes were
taken, and therefore his right to Prize-money had
not then ceased.
