EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
(Before the Loan CHIEF BARON and a Common! Jury

M`DONNELL V. TYLER.

This was an action to recover damages for an assault.
The offence was alleged to have been committed in
August last, on the premises of Mr. Abraham Tyler,
builder, in King's-road—the defendant being his
son. The evidence went to show that the
ylaintiff, a week after quitting the employment of
Mr. Tyler, called at the counting-house, and demanded a
shilling, which he said was owing to him. The defen-
dant refused the demand, on then round that nothing
was due ; and, on his desiring the plaintiff to go away,
the latter said " he'd be d—d if he would, and that
it would take a better men than the defendant to put him
out." On this the defendant pushed him out of the office
in such a manner that be fell en the ground, and received
bodily injury. This it was which constituted the alleged
assault.
The defence rested on the statement that the plaintiff
was intoxicated at the time, and that his language and
behaviour were such as to justify the conduct pursued
towards him.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing.
On the trial of the above case the LORD CHIEF BARON,
in addressing the jury, made the following remarks:—
" I cannot help expressing my regret at the existence of
the law in its present form, and happy should I be to see
the day when juries shall have an opportunity of ar-
riving at a conclusion on the evidence solely. As
the law is now administered, there can be no
doubt that the plaintiff has a considerable advantage.
Those of you who have been here on former occasions
must be aware that he is the first heard and the last
heard. I make these remarks because I think it is to be
regretted that juries are left in the dark on certain mat-
ters, for fear of a reply. It would be very much better
it the whole truth were brought out on all occasions, so
that we might judge of the entire case, instead of hear-
ing a part of it and guessing the remainder.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
THOM THE EVENING EkrEus 01 THIS D/1.1.
GLOBE.—Her Majesty's Ministers are evidently de•
eirous of beir.g considered unusually liberal and resolute
on the subject of Irish education. They have chosen the
medium of the Royal Speech to recommend to the " fa-
,yourable consideratio of Parliament " the policy of
improving and extending the opportunities for academi-
cal education in Ireland." It has not escaped the attention
of the public that this is the only measure so distin- ,
gnished. Mr. Gladstone, if we may venture to guess at
the meaning of his very elaborate circumlocution of the
other evening, has been scared from his seat in the
Cabinet only by what is here foreshadowed. He, we may
suppose, has looked upon the reality, in all its grim di-
mensions ; and is perhaps the only man, not in the Mi-
nistry, who knows what is coming. We do not forget
Ida modest averment as to the very limited ex-
tent of his knowledge ; but he " protesteth overmuch."
It is already rumoured, with an air of some proba-
bility, that the " improving" means the complete throw-
ing open of Trinity College to Catholics on the same
footing as Protestaats, and an increase of the grant to
the College of Maynooth. The " extending," it is said,
is to be effected by the establishment of two more col-
leges, unfettered by any anti-Catholie restrictions ; one
in the north and the other in the south of the island.
But whatever may be the form of the scheme, it is as-
turned on all hands that its effect will be the extension
of some real educational advantages to the Catholic po-
pulation of Ireland—some further advance towards the
obliteration of the religious distinctions which have
hitherto been the bane of Irish prosperity. And, in this
point of view, we have no doubt that a large majority
in this country will be prepared to concur in the measure.
There is, however, one portion of the scheme, be it
what it may, concerning which we must confess the in-
dulgence of some slight curiosity. That the present
Ministry should adopt any principles, however incon-
sistent with their past professions, or push them to any
extent that may be deemed expedient for the service of
Present purposes, can surprise no one. But there are
(11=1;10eispeonteito; be evaded by.the most consummate

cannot wriggle through. How does Sir Robert Peel

our kind monitor, " that though Lord
