LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, IVNII 7.

HENDERSON V. COLEMAN.

This was an attiou to recover damages for an as-
sault.

Mr. PARK stated that the:plaintiff was a youth
of i 7 years of age, an apprentice to his mother, a
free-waterwoman, residing at Rotherhithe. The
defendant thts the beadle of the Watermen's-Com-
pany, liviog -at the same place. The plaintiff, on
the loth of November, last year, was waiting with_
his boat opposite the defendant's house. £-lis sister,
a beautiful girl'of 16, was passing by ; the defend-
ant's wile pushed her against. the defendant, on
which be made use of the most gross and oppro-
brious language,. The plaintiff,- reeling indignant
et the epiti:ets made use of to his sister, called out
to the defendant to look at his wite, and consider
whether they' would not be more appropriate it rip.
plied to her. The defendant, a strung athletic
man, immediately ran at the plain!iti, knocked
him dot n, kicked, and beat him in a most unmer-
ciful manner ; and would have continued his bru-
tality, if .not stopped by a number of respedable
Gentlemen. The plaintiff was coafmed for a length
of tune, from the bruises he received, and was ob-
liged to have medical aSsistaiii,ce. The Learned
Counsel contended, that this was an assault of a
most atrocious nature, and required exemplary
damages.

This statement was fully made out by most re-
speetable witnesses_
Mr. GAHROW, Counsel for the defendant, said,
he was instructed to state that no assault bad been
com►Ditted, .either. by the defendant or his wife,
and that,theie were witnesses to prove the faa; if
so, he was convinced the Jury must give a verdid
for the defenciant.

Four witnesses were called, who attempted to
prove the statement of the Learned Counsel; but
their evidences were so contradictory, and they pre-
varicated so much, that. Lord 4LENBOROUGH
ob-
aerved, tie could not believe them, and he was sure
the Jury were 'of the same opinion.; he considered
the defence an aggravation of the offence.
The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages 251.

Hortnin MuuDen.-s—Last Tuesday afternison„ a
Coroner's Jury re-assembled at the sign of the Eagle
and Child, Forest Gate, . parish tif. West Ham,
E,sex,' to investigate into the death of Mr. John
Belding, landlord of that house, who on (Ike bight
of the 20th of May was assailed in his house by ten
labotirers, with concealed bludgeons, because he
protected a gentleman's servant from their fury for
some slight offence, when they fell upon the unfor-
tunate landlord, who had one of his arms broken
in three places, and was shockingly kicked besides.
He was instantly conveyed to bed, and died on the
27th following in a most,deplorable state. The
Jury having gene through a voluminous train of
evidenCe, returned a verdict of WiljUl Murder
:against . James Sweeny, Richard Pearce, Edward
Patrick Fleming, 'Maurice BrOmrich, John
.Sullivan, and Corneliu,; Hayes, who was admitted
an evidence, The Jury recorded a verdict against
the three otht r men, who are not yet in custody;
the. former persons are in Clerkenwell
After theit- lull hearing in town they will be coot-
mined to Chelmsford 'Gaol, to be tried at the
Assi z es.

CORONER'S INcamsr.—Yesterday a Jury atsern-
bled at the 'White Horse public-house, at Hany-,
