POOLE V. PEATY.

This was an action for assault and battery.
Mr. EARLE stated the case for the plaintiff, who is a sales-
man in Covent-garden Market. From the Learned Gentle-
man's address, it appeared that the plaintiff had gone into the
parlour of the Castle public house, in company with a farmer
named Peto. There they met the defendant, who•is a butcher
in Clare Market, along with several of his friends. In
the course of the conversation the defendant, who ap-
peared to be excited, charged the farmer with buying
a lot of sheep over his (defendant's) bidding, and on
his' denying the fact, the defendant called him a d—d liar,
and used many other opprobrious terms towards him. The
plaintiff not wishing to see his friend run down, asked him
if the charge was true, and on his denial of it, believing his
word, offered to lend him 1001. in order to take a Braggadocia
bett offered by the defendant. Upon this the defendant said,
" No, no, I do not want any forged notes—no nor any of
your returned checks." The farmer went off home, and the
plaintiff returned to the room where there were only the
defendant and his friends, and the plaintiff was still
chivalrous enough to defend the character of his friend even
in his absence. Perhaps as the defendant had made use of
extremely low language,_ the plaintiff might have descended
to it too in some degree. However, on some allusion to his
curly locks, upon which he appeared to pride himself, he got
up and struck the plaintiff a blow on the face, which knocked
him against the wall, and then followed the cowardly assault
by getting the plaintiff's head in a very interesting situation in
Chancery, where he made him a very poor client, hav-
ing punished a man not half his own size to an enormous
degree, for which he now did not want vindictive damages,
but merely such as would to restrain the defendant from such
practices in future. The Learned Gentleman proved his
case as stated, by the evidence of a gentleman who was at the
bar, and saw the transaction through the door; and by the evi-
dence of the surgeon.
Mr. PLATT, for the defence, produced two witnesses who
were in company with the defendant on the night in question,
who corroborated the former testimony ; but added the mate-
rial fact, that the plaintiff, the little man, twice pushed the de-
fendant, twice his own size, and was proceeding to strike again
bcfo::, the defendant struck at all.

The Jury, however, took the plaintiff's evidence, and found
a verdict, with 40s. damages.
