LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings at Nisi PriuP.—Before Mr. Baron Watson )

The plaintiff in this case ist a gauger, and a seller of
ale en commission, and the defendant is landlord of a
public-house, called "The JJily Caulkers," at Itother-
hithe.
Mr. Rubinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser•
gean t Parry for the defendant.
• The plaintiff stated that he resided at Manor-place,
Wal worth, and had been in the habit of doing business
with the defendant for the last two years. On the 16th
of September he called upon and had some beer with
him, and afterwards they played at cribbage. In the
course of the evci:kg the conversation turned
upon ale with which the plaintiff had supplied
the defendant. The plaintiff said it was very bad,

upon which the defendant said he should like

to taste it. They accordingly went down into the cellar
and found that one of the barrels was musty, the fact
being that the ale had been pw, into a foul cask, and
plaintiff s Aid as he should not lake to drink it himself he
should not like defendant to sell it to his customers,
anl, under the circumstances, he would take it back.
They had some more beer togei;her, and as plaintiff was
about leaving defendant asked him for two sovereigns
he owed him. The plaintiff pulled out all the money he
had with him at the time, which amounted to three half-
crowns, whereupon the defendant "let fly" at him in all
directions. He was knocked down, and when lying on
the ground the defendant kicked him so violently that
he became thoroughly disabled, and had to be carried
into his house. He was absent from bu,iness for three
months in consequence of the injuries he hal sustained,
and he estimated the loss be had sustained in conga-
quence of his injuries at one hundred pound:,.
Cron-examined by Mr. Sergeant Parry—He was in
the habit of boxing, but he was not what was termed
a regul tr " bruiser." Before he went to the defendant's
house on the occasion refer red to he had been tasting
some wine and spirits in the course of business, and be-
fore going to the "Jolly Caulkers" he had had some
oysters. The first thing he had at defendant's house was
a glass of gin—" three ha'porth,"—after that he had
some half-and-half, then some gin and water—about
three "goes," then some more beer, and so on. He i
did not consider himself to be drunk—indeed he was sure
be was not. When the defendant knocked him down
he took up something to protect himself. It was either
a can or a coal-scuttle, but he could not say which. It
was in the dark, so he could not see. After he had
been attacked he managed to scramble out of the
house and took a seat on the settle outside. He was
exceedingly weak, and was wheeled away in a barrow to
another public house in St. George's-road, where he was
washed. Ile admitted he was hasty in temper, and
about four years ago he was sent to the compfor for five
days for having been engaged in a row. He did not
recollect using a knife on the occasion. He slipped off
the kerb a few years ago and broke some of his ribs, but
on that occasion he was not " in liquor."

Some witnesses were called who described the nature
of the injuries the plaintiff had received.
Mr. Sergeant Parry, in addressing the jury for the
defendant, said uadnubtedly the defendant had sustained
some injuries in the course of (pure', but he thought
the jury would agree with him that it was more the
result of a drunken row than anything else.
Mr. Baron Watson.—lt is much to be regretted that
those two persons, who had been on intimate terms, had
not settled this affair between themselves instead of
bringing it into a court of law.
The jury, being unable to agree, left the court, and
after a short absence returned, and gave a verdict for
plaintiff. Damages, 101.

In the Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas,
the cases this morning were entirely devoid of public
