LAW INTELLIGENCE.
CO URT OF EXCHEQUER, April 15.
Mr. Baron Parke, Barons Gurney, Alderson, and Rolfe,
took their seats on the Bench s'aortly before two o'clock.
Mr. Baron PARKE stated, for the information of Counsel,
that Lord Abinger would not probably be able to take his sea;
in Court for some time. (We believe his Lordship is at pre-
sent indisposed, and is about to leave town for Brighton.)

DAINTRY v. HUTCHINSON.
Mr. ANDREWs moved for a rule to show why the verdict in
this case should not be set aside and a new trial granted, or why
judgment should not be arrested. The case had lately been
tried at Cambridge before the Lord Chief Justice, and a ver-
dict was found for the plaintiff. It appeared that the parties
had agreed to run a match between two greyhounds for a sum
of ICO/. a-side. The match, according to the terms of the
agreement, was to have coma off on the Wednesday of the week
of the Newmarket Meeting in the month of February,
1841. The defendant was, ready with his dog at the
week originally appointed for the meeting ; but the meet-
ing was adjourned by the stewards. for a fortnight, in
consequence of the state of the weather. The defendant did
not appear on the second occasion. On the trial, however,
the rules of the club were not produced for the purpose of
showing that the stewards were empowered to postpone the
meeting ; and this was the ground of the first part of the ap-
plication. In support of the motion for arresting judgment,
the Learned Counsel quoted the Ifith of Charles 11., and
other statutes, with a view to prove that dog matches were
illegal, and that therefore the bet could not be recovered.
Baron PARKE was of opinion that the agreement between
the parties referred to the Wednesday of the week in which
the Newmarket meeting was actually held. He could not
therefore grant the first part of the application ; but the de-
fendant might take a rule to show cause why judgment should
lot be arrested.
BATON V. KINGSTON Alsil) OTHERS.
Mr. THEMER moved for a rule to show cause why a non-
suit should not be entered in this case, or why a verdict should
not be returned for the defendant. The Jury before whom the
else had come at the last assizes, had returned a verdict fur
the plaintiff, with one farthing damages.
The case was an action for assault, to which the defendant
pleaded " not guilty," by the statute 21st James the First.
The plaintiff was a parish clerk; and it appeared he had
incurred the displeasaro of his ecclesiastical superiors, and of the
parishioners, by the irregularity or the impropriety of his con-
duct. It was complained, among other things, that he had
refused to attend the Sacrament on two Easter Sundays. He
had been reprimanded by the Vicar upon the advice of the
Bishop,and he had promised on that occasion to amend his
behaviour. But his conduct soon becoming as objectionable as
ever, the Vicar had thought it necessary to remove him from
his situation, and to appoint another individual in his place.
For two or three successive Sundays, however, the plain-
tiff took his usual seat at church ; and so determined
was be in keeping possession of it, that after he had entered in
the morning he continued there daring the day ; he dined there,
and had pudding brought to him by his son. At length a dis-
pute took place between him and the newly-appointed clerk for
the seat ; and the defendant becoming violent, he was removed
by forte from the church by the complainant, who was a church-
warden, and by others who were obliged to come to his as-
' sistance.
" The Court, after hearing these facts stated, granted the rule.
