!that Oh the lth of leb. last, 'lie tet,-+ up Mr. ittra (not e)iyctly
'in a state to discover the longitude) at ihe,Bank, in order to his
being conveyed per coach to Paddington. The ',journey..heing
performed, he (plaintiff) claimed lis-fare; but the defendant,
instead of paying, assaulted and knocked•hint down.Te •
this case \-ir. Bent replied, that having tin excellent 'con-
dition to discover the longitude, or adyr.thing'else) entered the
plaintiff's vehicle at thiliank, he expected, as a matter of itn-
plied contract, to be conveyed to Ids own houseat Paddington.
Plaintiff, however, refused to carry him (defendant) to his own
door ' • and he (defendant) therefore refused payment of plain-
tiff's fare upon which plaintiff. collared and refused to let him
(defendant) tTo ; which collaring and obstruction compelled him
(defendant) in self-defence to knock him (plaintiff) down. •
Evidence at some length was• given on both sides; and a
question was started as to whether the plaintiff was or was not
boiffid to carry the defendant to the door of his own house.
Mr. Justice II or.novn left the simplerquestion to -the Jury—
Had the plaintiff, orhadjie not, upon the defendant's refusal
to pay his fare, collared and .detained him ? With the plain-
tiff's refusal to carry the defendant to his own door the Jury
had nothing to do, nor with the refusatof the defendant to pay
the fare demanded. Granting a fare to be due, a coachman was
not warranted in assaulting his passenger for•payment ; and, if
.the plaintiff in the present case had taken final:curse, the de-
fendant must have a verdict. If, on the other hand, the first
assault had proceeded from the defendant, the plaintiff would
be entitled to reasonable damages : the evidence was before the
Junr, and upon the evidence they were to decide.
' The Jury,.after brief consultation,' found for the plaintiff—
Damages one shilling.• , -• • • .• •

COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, Nov. 19.
BILL OF COSTS.

Mr. Sergeant Pnr.t applied to the Court for
.leave to shew
cause why the defendant in this cause should not be released
ont•of custody. He grounded his application Unon the.provi-
.sions of the 43th •of the late King (the Lord4', Act,) which
enacted that any persondetained in custody in execution for any
debt not exceeding 201.,-inbluding costs, 'for a period of twelve
months, should upon proof of the fact be entitled to his dis-
charge: Now in this case the original debt • was only 191:• but
bya practice which he trusted would be otherwisb exposed and
corrected, the costs incurred on the warrant of attorney for the
debt amounted to no less a sum than 1501. Although the costs
'swelled the lien upon the person beyond the amount recognized
by the Act of ParYament as entitling the party to the relief
prayed • for, still, he hoped:drat from th e man ner in which they"
had beerrheaped.up, the Court would mark its opinion upon
such conduct•bygrantmg the relief nowprayed for. •
• The CO URT were of opininn that the application could not
be granted. . • -•• :-• -.. •
