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 future 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.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 25.

Sittings at Nisi Prius before Baron Rot:t.r. and a Special
Jury.)

WOOD r. LEADMTTEtt.
This was an action for an-assault, in forcibly expelling the
plaintiff from the grand stood at the last Doncaster races.
The defendant, amongst other things, pleaded that he was
the servant of the Earl of Eglinton;` that the close on which
the plaintiff had entered was the close of Lord Eglinton; that
by command of his Lordship, the defendant ordered the plain-
tiff to leave the close ; and that upon the plaintiff's refusal,
the defendant laid hands upon him and expelled him, using
no more force than was necessary. To this plea, the plaintiff
replied that he was in the close in question at the time the
assault was committed by the license of Lord Eglinton, upon
which issue was joined.
Mr. Jervis, with Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Petersdorff, repre-
sented the plaintiff; and Mr. Kelly conducted the defendant's
case, assisted by Mr. Wortley, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Peacock.
The case on behalf of the plaintiff was, that he had pur-
chased, at the regular office a ticket for the grand stand at
Doncaster, for which he paid a guinea, and which was to
have secured him admission to the grand stand during the
races. That, on the first day of the races, upon presentation
of his ticket, he was admitted to the grand stand, but shortly
after the defendant accosted Win, told him he had positive
orders to eject him, and, upon the plaintiff's declining to go
out, the defendant seized him rudely by the collar, and the
plaintiff still resisting, the defendant struck him a severe
blow upon the knuckles ; and by the force of the defendant, and
others assisting him, the plaintiff was hustled off the stand.
The plaintiff's case was supported by the evidence of a
person named Hicks, who accompanied plaintiff when he
purchased and paid for his ticket, and also accompanied him
to the grand stand, to which both were admitted. The as-
sault was proved by a person named Dixon. the son of a
cheesemonger in Tottenham-court-road, who frequented
races about London, and in this way became acquainted with
the plaintiff.
Mr. KELLY, on behalf of the defendant, expressed his sur •
prise at the audacity which the plaintiff exhibited in coming
before a court of justice. The stewards of races, for the pro-
tection of the public, determined to exclude from the betting
ring all defaulters. The plaintiff was not only a defaulter,
but he was a swindler and a cheat. He had been excluded
from the Liverpool races, and also from the Goodwood races;
and Lord Eglinton, upon the suggestion of Lord George Ben-
tinck, had excluded him from the Doncaster races. For the
purpose of entrapping persons, the plaintiff made bets upon
commission. He solicited a person named Hawker to make
bets on his behalf. Hawker assented, and the plaintiff sent
him several letters containing the particulars of bets made
by him on Ihwker's account, in reference to the race for the
Derby stakes, in 1841. The plainiiff informed Hawker that
he had made bets for him with Colonel Anson, Mr. Greville,
Hr. Payne, Captain Rous, and other persons, which, in
fact, he had never made. The horses against which the bets
were made, unfortunately for the plaintiff; , and contrary to
his expectations, won. He was then obliged to confess to
Hr. Hawker that he had deceived him, and that he could
not pay him the amount which Mr. Hawker was entitled to
receive, if the bets had been genuine. Had the results of the
race been different, Mr. Hawker would have had to pay the
plaintiff between 2,0001. and 3,0001., which the plaintiff
would have put in his pocket. When Hawker discovered
the fraud practised on him he appealed to the Jockey Club,
and laid the whole case before them. They cited Wood to
appear before them, but he declined to come. After this it
was thought Wood was an improper person to associate with
honest men, and he was accordingly excluded from Liver-
pool, Goodwood, and Doncaster. By the encouragement of
racing, "a breed of horses had been secured for this country,
which was the admiration of the world ; and the question
really was, whether the noblemen and gentlemen who
patronised this noble and truly English sport were or were
not to have the power of excluding from their meetings
swindlers and persons whose character was such as made it ,1
impossible for gentlemen or honest men to associate with
them? In the present case, Leadbitter, the defendant, was
of course a nominal party. Lord Eglinton, acting under the
sanction of the Jockey Club, was the real defendant.
In support of the defendant's case, after calling two or
three witnesses to prove that the plaintiff was civilly re-
quested to leave the stand by Leadbitter, and declined, he
was removed.
__

Lord George Bentinck was examined. He proved that he
was the senior steward of the Liverpool races in 1843. Lord
Stanley and Mr. Mostyn were his colleagues. A notice
was published that defaulters were not to be admitted to the
betting ring. The plaintiff came into the betting ring, and
a general complaint having reached witness's ears that he '
had found his way there, plaintiff was called upon to appear
before the stewards. The charge made against plaintiff by
Hawker was repeated to him. He was asked if he could
deny it. Plaintiff said he had settled with Hawker, and
that Hawker, in fact, owed him money. The stewards were
of opinion that no settlement or compromise with Hawker
made any difference in the character of the transaction, and
unanimously resolved that the plaintiff must quit the stand.
He begged to be allowed to go of quietly, but witness said,
"No, they would make an example of him," and he was
taken off by a police-constable, and his ticket taken from
him. Witness afterwards saw the plaintiff at Goodwood
races, where he was spoken to by Mr. Roper, the Duke of
Richmond's steward, and left the course. Also saw the de-
fendant at Doncaster. Represented to Lord Eglinton, who
was sole steward, that the plaintiff ought not to be allowed
to remain in the betting ring. Lord Eglinton, in witness's
presence, ordered defendant to remove plaintiff. Witness
did not make a bet of 1,8001. to 100/. against Metternich and
Eringo for the Derby of 1841, nor did he bet 4,500/. to 1001.
against the Duke of Wellington. Made no bets with plain-
tiff, as agent of Hawker, on the Derby for 1841.
Cross-examined—Knew the plaintiff's father, who kept a
hell. He betted with plaintiff's father, who is a defaulter,
and owed witness 100/. on the Derby. Hawker complained
of plaintiff's conduct to the Jockey Club, but afterwards took
back his papers, saying he was satisfied. The money paid
by the plaintiff was not returned when he was sent off from
the course at Liverpool, as it is part of the regulation that
the ticket-money shall be forfeited. The object is to pro.
tect the public from being robbed. It is not unusual to em-
ploy persons to bet. Witness has employed a person named
Glen, a baker, in Regent-street, to bet for him. Glen has bet
for witness against a horse called Grey Milton. The horse
did not run after the bet was made. The horse was the pro-
perty of witness. Witness did not allow him to run, not
because he had betted against him, but because there was no
j chance of his winning. Glen did not bet for witness on Run-
ning Rein, at the last Derby. A man may be temporarily
a defaulter, and afterwards pay up his debts, and cease to be
a defaulter. A temporary defaulter, whose default is not '
connected with any fraud, is often re-admitted to the betting
ring. The ring was like a market—like the Stock Market,
where every man who played fairly, whatever his condition
might be, was admitted. Gaming-house keepers and such
persons were not excluded. Witness did not think it dero-
gatory to bet with an honest man, however humble Iris con-
dition might be.
Re-examined—lf a man was temporarily unable to pay,
but afterwards paid honestly, and there was no fraud in
the transaction, he was free from any imputation ; but if
there was falsehood or fraud in the transaction, he could
never expiate his offence by any payment. No man ceased
to he a defaulter until he paid 20s. in the pound, and ac-
cording to the regulations at Doncaster such a person was
liable to be removed. The Racing Calendar and Bell's Life
in London were read by nearly all sporting men. Grey
Milton died a maiden horse, that is, he never won a race.
Before witness withdrew him lie had given public notice that
unless he greatly improved Ire should not run him for tire
Derby. Previous to the Liverpool races in 1843 there was
an advertisement inserted in the Racing Calendar, and also
in the .21.1iwntng Chronicle, Mivning Herald, Minting Post,
Times, Sun, and several other papers, containing the regula-
tion, one of which was that no defaulter should be admitted
to the grand stand, or if admitted should be expelled and
forfeit his ticket money. There were similar regulations
published in reference to the Goodwood and Doncaster races
last year.
Mr. JEnvis—They have not been published in the Morning
Advertiser, and that is the only newspaper we read.—( A
laugh.)
Mr. KELLY—Has your client instructed you to say that is
the only newspaper he reads?
Mr. Howard, an attorney, was called, to depose to some
conversation which he had with plaintiff, in reference to this
transaction ; but objected to disclose it, on the ground that it
was a privileged communication, and was therefore not called
upon to give evidence.
Lord Stanley corroborated what had fallen from Lord
George Bentinck as to the occurrence at the Liverpool races.
The plaintiff said he could not deny that ire had falsely stated
to Hawker that he lied made bets on his account. Witness
said that what had happened afterwards with Hawker was of
little importance, and the stewards unanimously agreed to
exclude plaintiff from the betting ground.
Mr. Mostyn, who was also a steward at the Liverpool
races, gave evidence to the same effeet.
The Duke of Richmond said he was the owner of the land
on which the Goodwood races were held. Hearing the cha-
racter of the plaintiff from Lord George Bentinck, witness
authorised his solicitor to give him proper notice, and oblige
him to quit the course.
Mr. Roper, the Duke of Richmond's solicitor, stated that
at the last Goodwood races Ire gave the plaintiffnotice to quit
the ground, and the plaintiff said, as the ground was private
property, he could not resist.
George Hawker resides at Stroud, Gloucestershire. Knows
plaintiff, who solicited witness to allow hint to make bets on
his behalf in reference to the Derby in 1841. Afterwards
informed witness that he. bad made such bets, In the event
of Coronation winning witness would have to receive
. 11,8251., and to have paid several other sums, which would
. have left a balance of 2,640/. coluini; to witness uvou the bets
. .

ma-de by plaintiif. Coronation won, and plaintiff then ad-
mitted that he lied 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 witnesss ever re-
ceived. Represented-plaintiff 's conduct to the Jockey Club, but
Wood declined to appear. Witneas- -afterivards 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 5001. or 6001. Witness had raised
large sums of nioney on a reversionary interest. Was die-
charged in 1842 as an insolvent debtor. Disputed the
validity of various debts on the ground that they were given
for earning transaction& Had given various creditors post
oiit bonds.
Mr. George Payne is a member of the Jockey Chit). Never
betted with plaintiff as principal 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.

Crois-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. Kin:t.y then declined to call further witnesses, and
Mr. JEtivis addressed the jury in reply, contending that
the defendant had not shown any justification for assaulting
the plaintiff, after having taken and kept a guinea for a
ticket. As to the racing morality which this trial dis-
played, lie thought it more than questionable. If the turf
improved the breed of horses, it 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 wit—atlefaalter, as he kacicin fact,. paid all heaver owed
Mr. Hawker.

Baron Boi.FF: 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.
