The more than usual success which has attended this Company has
arisen— . .

From the combination of advantages formerly obtainable partly
from proprietary and partly from mutual societies, thereby affording
to the assured bonuses, reduction of tUture premiums, and complete
freedom from responsibility.
From the indisputability of the policies, leave to travel beyond
Europe, the option of payment of one-half of the premiums for the.
first seven years, and immediate settlement of claims.

made by plaintiff. Coronation won, and plaintiff then ad-
mitted that he had not made the bets, and that he was unable
to pay. Plaintiff gave witness 1501. about a fortnight after
the settlement day. This was all the money w•itnesss ever re-
ceived. Represented plaintiff 's conduct to the Jockey Club, but
Wood declined to appear. Witness afterwards lost about
1,250/. at the gaming-house kept by the plaintiff's father
at No. 2. Bury street, St. James's, and suggested to plaintiff
to set off his debt against the loss, which was agreed to.
The witness admitted, on cross-examination, that he is a
defaulter to the extent of 500/. or 600/. Witness had raised
large sums of money on a reversionary interest. Was dis-
charged in 1842 as an insolvent debtor. Disputed the
validity of various debts on the ground that they were given
for gaming transactions. Had given various creditors post
obit bonds
Mr. George Payne is a member .f the Jockey Club. Never
betted with plaintiff as princiral or agent on 'Coronation, for
the Derby race of 1841. At the last Wolverhampton races
the plaintiff accosted witness, paid him an instalment of a
debt due for some years, and hoped witness would forgive his
transaction with Hawker. Witness said it was a villainous
transaction, and the less said about it the better. Plaintiff
said he could not defend it.
Cross-examined—Witness has since betted with plaintiff
on two or three occasions.
Mr. Portman and Captain Rous were called, to prove that
they had not betted with plaintiff on the Derby of 1841, as
represented by him to Hawker.
The defendant's counsel was about to call other witnesses,
when

The Learned JUDGE interfered, and observed that he really
did not see the necessity of calling witnesses to contradict
facts fully proved.
Mr. KELLY then declined to call further witnesses, and
Mr. JERVIS addressed the jury in reply, contending that
the defendant had not shown any justification for assaillting
the plaintiff, after having taken and kept a guinea for a
ticket. As to the racing morality which this trial dis-
played, he thought it more than questionable. If the turf
improved the breed of horses, is demoralised the character
of Englishmen. The only criterion of a man's character
appeared to be the length of his purse, and the plaintiff
was not a defaulter, as he had, in fact, paid all be ever owed
Mr. Hawker.
Baron ROLFE told the jury• that if they believed Lord
Eglinton had given the plaintiff notice to quit the grand
stand, and he had refused, and was afterwards removed with-
out more force than was necessary, the defence was substan-
tiated. As to the assault, no doubt it was committed, but it
was unintentional, if the justification was proved.
After considerable hesitation, the jury returned a verdict for
the defendant, on the plea of justification.
