Lloyd remained for some years, till, about the age
of 18, she married Mr. Passioexam without consult-
ing her father, and thereby 'grew on herself the un-
s-elenting displeasure of her father. The Learzked
`Council then proceeded to say, that the father of the
Plaintiff was by nGrneans connected with the Lloyd's
of Handcar, and that harint ingratiated themselves
with old Mrs. Mary Lloyd four days before Colonel
Vassingharn entered into the agreement with her to
receive a cerkin sum for the mesne profits of his
estate, the had, by a deed of gift, obtained from
her all her property : so that instead of Colonel
Passinjham receiving, as was agreq, 10,0604, she
had 'not a sixpence to pay him with.
'The settlement of the estate on the marriage of
Mr. Giwn Lloyd, in 1746, was then 'pet in.
Several letters from Mrs. Catherine and Mary
Lloyd, addressed to Colonel Passingham while in
America, were then pat in and read. They were
subscribed his affectionate aunts, and related to family
matters, expressing the greatest interest for his
Avelfare.

Mr. Hannibal Sandys, who was attorney to Colonel
Passineam in the trial of 1794, was then called to
detail the evidence that had been then given in favOur
of the plaintiff's claim.
The detail of the above having lasted from ten
,o'clock in the morning till ten o'clock at night, the
Court adjourned till nine o'clock on Saturday
morning.

-Mrs. Johns, a sister-in-law, proved that Mrs. Ca-
therine and Mary Lloyd lived in habits of strong

NORTHEAS CIRCUIT. -NEWCASTLE ON-TYNE,

GUILDHALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16.

Joseph Logan, aged 22, was put to the bar, ar-
aigned upon an indictment, charging him with steal-
ing in the dwelling-house of John Thompson, at
Newcastle, several articles of wearing apparel. The
prisoner was asked by the Clerk of Arraigns if he
was guilty or not guilty, and replied, " I believe
neither," and no other answer could be obtained
from him. The prisoner took a great quantity of
snuff, he had suffered his beard to grow, and his
face presented a wild savage appearance.
Mr. COOKSON intimated to his Lordship that it
was supposed the prisoner was deranged, upon
which his Lordship directed a Jury to be sworn, to
try whether the prisoner was mute wilfully, fraudu-
lently, and obstinately, or by the visitation of God.
Dr. Fyffe, of Newcastle, stated that the prisoner
had been gilder his care for the, last twelve days,
and he was decidedly of opinion that he was of un-
sound mind.

The keeper of the Lunatic Asylum said that he
thought the prisoner was of unsound mind.
The prisoner was again called upon to plead whe-
ther he was " guilty or not guilty." He answered,
" I don't remember it. I may be, or I may be not."
The Jury found that the prisoner was mute by
the visitation of God. He was then removed from
the bar, and taken, as we understood, to a Lunatic
Asylum in the neighbourhood.

FEUSTER V. BELL.

This was an action for trespassing upon the plain-
tiff's lane.

Mr. Justice BATLEY said, the only question was,
whether the lane belonged to the plaintiff; if so, she
was entitled to a verdict.

Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that as the right to the
lane came in question, he l'tad no discretion, but must
certify for the plaintiff, although he wished he could
help it.

W. TATE V. THE EXECUTORS OF MRS. ANN TATE.

Mr. BROUGHAM said that the plaintiff; a respect-,
able farmer and surveyor, at Orton, sought to
*re-
cover 107 guineas from the executors of Mrs. Tate,
of Long Framlington, deceased,' for surveying and
managing her estates, receiving her rents, inspecting
her farms and the repairs of the farmhouses; and, in
short, transacting all her business with her tenants,
from 1819 to 1825.

John Fletcher, tenant of Mrs. Ann Tate, proved
that the plaintiff managed three farms of the de-
fendant, and regularly came to tenants every iialf
year, received the rents, and inspected the state of
the houses, and gave directions for the repairs.
Witness proved two letters, of the sth February,
1822, and of the 25th March, 1825, from Mrs. Tate
to the plaintiff. They contained directions respect-
ing the farms.
George Forster, a land-agent, proved that two
guineas a day, besides expenses, was a reasonable
compensation to the plaintiff for his services.
Mr. Baird also proved that the plaintiff managed
Mrs. Tatesi farms.

This was the plaintiff's case; and in answer to
a question from the Judge, Mr. Brougham sub-
mitted that he had made out four days' attendance
every half year. The plaintiff's house at Orton
was 35 miles distant from Mrs. Tate's house, and
the going and coming, and expellees, made the
plaintiff's bill amount to 107 guineas.
The Jury retired for two hours, and then brought
in a 'verdict for the Plaintiff, one guinea a-day for
six days in each year, 371. 16s.

EATON AGAINST TROTTER.
This was an action of assault and battery. Mr.
Pot..Locit stated the case. The plaintiff, a grocer
at Newcastle, was a member of• the Society of
Friends, a body remarkable for their peaceable con-
duct ; they were rarely plaintiffs in any case : still
more rarely were they defendants, and never in such
a case as the present. The plaintiff was about 30
years of age, and of a slender frame : the defendant
was a wealthy builder, and a big powerful man.
The plaintiff in the beginning of last May occupied
a house in lirandling-place, a new row of houses
nearly half a mil', out of Newcastle, the whole of
which were built by the defendant. In the front
of this row there was a foOtway, which. the plain-
tiff understood was common to all who lived in the
row ; but it seemed that the defendant claimed it
as his own exclusively, and disputed the general
right of way. To have tried this claim, he might
have brought his action, but he had no right to take
the law into his own hands ; still less had he a right
to lay in wait for the plaintiff, and commit upon
him a gross, outrageous, and cruel assault. On the
3d of May, the defendant erected across the
path a strong hairier, about six feet in height.
was all put up in the courseof the day. After
the plaintiff had gone out to his shop in New-
castle, it was begun and completed, so that
when the plaintiff was coming home, at about a
quarter before 11, he could not pass to his own door,
but was obliged
to go to the garden-door of the ad-
joining house tob
get over the railway into his own.
The defendant
been waiting for him, and before
he could reach his
toown door struck him with a heavy
b
stick so violent asreek three of his teeth. The
plaintiff knocked at his door, and servants came and
