KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

BOSS v. LITTON.
This was an action to recover a compensation in damages for
an injury which the plaintiff had sustained in consequence of
the defendants having run over him. From the evidence of the
plaintiff's witnesses it appeared that on the 14th of July, about 9
in the evening, the plaintiff was walking along the Lower-road,
Islington, and upon arriving at a particular part of the foot path,
which was bad to walk on, he turned off to the road ; at that
moment the defendant, who was in a butcher's cart, drove
against him, knocked him down, and run over him. The inju-
ries which the plaintiff had received were so severe, that he was
obliged to be confined to his room for ten days.
Mr. KELLY conducted the plaintiff's case.
Mr. THESSIGER for the defendant contended that the acci-
dent arose entirely through the carelessness of the plaintiff him-
self, and that it no way arose from the defendant's negligence.

. _
Several witnesses gave it as their opinion that the accident
arose solely from the plaintiff's own carelessness.

His LORDSHIP having summed up, the Jury found a ver.
dict for the plaintiff—Damages 201.

THE RIGHT HON. G. R. DAWSON.—The
Ex. Secretary to the Treasury citivassed a householder of
Derry, a respectable dealer in second-hand clothes, on last
Sunday morning. The worthy elector, not having the
advantage of knowing the Right Hon. Gentleman, begged
first to be favoured with his name. On hearing the sweet
sounds, '. GEORGE ROBERT DAWSON," he asked, as a
further favour, to be informed of his claims upon him for
his vote. The candidate was proceeding to enumerate
various acts performed by him and his brother-in-law,
Sir ROBERT PEEL, when the elector relieved him of the
difficult task which he had himself imposed, by observing,
" Oh, Sir, I am a very pod judge of an old coat, t.ut
when it is thrice turned, it is beyond my judgment."----
