SUNDALI. V. CHURCH. JONES, AND COLLIER.

This was an action to recover damages for an assault com-
mitted on the Plaintiff. The Defendant Church had suffered
judgment to go by default; J ors pleaded Nut Guilty; and
Collier pleaded a justification.
The Plaintiff,who turned out to be an unfortunate lunatic,
pleaded his own cause. It appeared upon the face uf the pro-
ceedings that be had occupied a lodging at the house of
Jones, in Gooch-street, Oxford-market. \Four years ago he
was afflicted with illuess; and Mr. Collier, who is a respecta-
ble medical man, was called to his assistance. 'Finding him
in a state ut lunacy, Mr. Collier put on a strait waistcoat,
and tied him down to the bed. He was assisted by Church,
a parish constable. The plaintiff was sonic time after con-
veyed to Burrows's madhouse at Hoxton, where he remained
three weeks. The plaintiff, under these eh-um:stances,
sought to lecturer damages. _ _

Mr. Gaset.EE, who 'appeared as Counsel for Mr. Collier,
proved, by a witness named Morgan, that the plaintiff, at the
time he was secured in a strait waistcoat, was in a state of
violent insanity. The unhappy man on this occasion appeared
to be suffzring under the same malady.
The CHM' JUSTICE said, the evioence would warrant the
Jury in finding a verdict for the defendant Collier; who nail
justified; but witti respect to Jones, who bad pleaded Not
Goitty,-and Church, Who had suffered judgment logo, by de-
fault, they ought to find some-damages.
The Jury found a verdict for the defendant Collier ; and
for' the plaintiff, as against .'hunch and Jones, Damages Is.
The. tHiEr Jusrleg, on the application of -Currnsel, inti-
mated that be would ctxtify, to prevent the parties paying
casts.
