BATE AND ANOTHER V. RUSSELL AND OTHERS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who
are bankers, carrying on business wider the firm of
the Stourbridge Old Bank, to recover from the de-
fendants, as sureties for a person of the name of
Bennet, formerly a builder at Kidderminster, the
balance of an account due from him to them, on the
guarantee of the defendant's note of hand.

Mr. Baron VAUGHAN shortly recapitulated the
facts to the Jury, who almost immediately returned
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 850/.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAMBRIDGE, Auo 4.
FOSTER AND OTIIERS V. NUNN.

Mr. KELLY stated the case of the plaintiffs. His
clients were the very respectable and opulent bankers
in this town, carrying on the banking business under
the firm of Ebenezer and Charles Finch Foster. The
defendant carried on the united business of a publican,
a sheriff's officer, and a horse-dealer. The present
action was brought to recover the amount of a hill of
exchange drawn by the defendant on one l3rowning,
for the sum of 541. 9s. 9d., and endorsed by him to
the present plaintiffs, in 1823.
Mr Baron GARROW summed up, after hearing
evidence at length. The present was nominally an
action brought to recover a balance due to Messrs.
Fosters, the bankers ; but in reality the question
for them to decide was, whether Mr. Geard, who
for sixteen long years had been intrusted with the
management of the concerns of the hank, was or was
not guilty of embezzling the money of those gentle-
men, his employers ? His learned brother had in-
dulged in a strain of great pleasantry on the appear-
ance of Mr. Geard. He had been compared to
Solder Johnny. Probably the Jury did not know
the meaning of this, or who that character was.
When the harvest was well got in, if they found
their crops equal to the expense of a journey to
town, let them go to Bond-street, where they would
see two of the most interesting and perfect figures
that had ter been planned by the mind of genius,
or cut by the hand of skill and talent from stone.
One of them was Souter Johnny. They would
easily find the house by the concourse of persons of
taste and good sense who would be found entering
to visit it at all hours of the day.
The Jury found for the plaintiffs for the amount
of the bill and interest.

GOODMAN V. NEWSHAM.

The action was brought to recover a compensa-
tion in damages for one (or rather two) of most
violent and unprovoked assaults. The plaintiff was
a fanner, residing at \Visbech, and was a consider-
able breeder of cattle. On the 21st of April last,
he chanced to be at a cattle-sale at :St. Neot's,
where also was the defendant. A conversation
arose respecting a horse belonging to the plaintiff,
and in the result the defendant called the other
many opprobrious names,—as a liar, and others
showing an equal familiarity with the vulgar tongue,
—and then struck the plaintiff three or four Most
violent blows on the head, cut his eye, and knocked
him down several times. The plaintiff, though
thus provoked, struck not in return, but bore the
insult with great magnimity, and now appealed to a
Jury of his country for an indemnity for the past
and security for the future.—Verdict for the plain,
tiff, with Is. damages.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINCOLN, Auo. 4.
BOUCHERETT, ESQ. V. GREETIIAM.

This was an an action upon a warranty of a horse,
which has been the subject of no less than three
actions, tried at different times at the Assizes for
this county. It was compared by Mr. DENMAN to
the Trojan horse, in consequence of the celebrity it
had acquired by these actions, the Learned Counsel
observing that it was, called here " the Lincolnshire
horse.": It had been purchased by Mr. Boucherett,
the defendant, in 1825, for 150 guineas. It was

then five years old. Mr. Boucherett hunted it dur-
ing the season, and then sold it with a warranty for
00 guineas. The gentleman to whom he sold it
disediereo it to be unsound, brought his action
against Mr. Boucherett, affd rcco4fered back his
Money. Mt. Boucherett then brotight en action,
itgriiiist Mr. Grcetliam; against WhOm he recut cred
a verdict of the tiriith; of the Aoise; and also for the
amount of the costs of the ()flier action. A motion
was made before the Court of King's Bench tfi set
aside that verdict, on the ground that the plaintiff
had no right to recover both the price of the horse
end the Costs of the other action. The Court gave
the plaintiff the option of either taking a verdict for
the 90 guineas, the ptke of the horse only, or a
new_ trial: The plaintiff chose the hotter alternative.
The Jury, without any hesitation, returned a ver-
dict for the defendant,:

William Parker was found guilty of sacrilege.—
The prisoner broke into the church of Tankersley, in
the West Riding of York, on the 26th of March
last, and stole a number of Bibles, Common Prayer
Books, and music books. The charge was clearly
made out, and the prisoner convicted.
John Robinson, John Lightowler, Thomas Riley,
and William Philip, were indicted for having, on the
17th of April last, at Wike, in the parish of Birstal,
assaulted Joseph Smith, on the King's highway,and
stolen from his person a quantity of money, his pro-
perty.
The Learned JUDGE charged the Jury, who found
the prisoners Fletcher and Riley Guilty, but ac-
quitted the other two.

tenants so far in their arrears, that they are re'
duced to nearly as low a state as the unenr

of these arrears as thankfully as if the ~tenanl
were bestowing a favour. The grocers in ge,o6d,"
?al comi.lain that they are not doing the bustne°l
they did i'ormerly ; and those shopkeepers
do not deal in the necessaries of life, considt'
themselves well if they do as much as clear thgr,l
eXpnees. The general expression with peorl
is business there is, that things cannot. go 011.:
long in this way. at however that may be, W..
think the immediate interference of the con/P'.;
tent authorities is necessary; and whether ani
thing be done to remove this state of tbinel
I not, the working classes are in general ritalgt
to a state of misery and debt such as they or'l
never likely to recover, and those who have debt
to any considerable amount on their property, Pr•
steel; in trade, are sure to be reduced to the 500
level.
