STARLING V. CABLE.

This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for an assault.

Mr. Serjeant WILDE stated the ease. The plaintiff is
a respectable gentleman living in Wilmington-square, and
the defendant an extensive brass-founder, residing in the
same neighbourhood. On the 30th of May last, between
six and seven o'clock, the plaintiff returned home, and,
whilst sitting at tea with his family, he heard a noise in
the passage ; shortly afterwards the parlour door opened,
and in walked the defendant. " Oh,"said he (addressing
the plaintiff), " a pretty scoundrel you are;" and, not
content with using that and other opprobrious epithets,
commenced assaulting Mr. Starling in an aggravated lim-
ner; he struck him, and shook bins by the colhr. This,
however, did not appear to be sufficient, for he upset the
table, and. kicked the dishes, decanters, cups, saucers,
&c., about a valuable carpet, by which it was much in-
jured. The ladies were very much :Alarmed, and sent for
an officer, who succeeded in ejecting the defendant from
the house. It was for this outrage that the present action
was brought.
Evidence was adduced in corroboration of the Learned
Counsel's statement.

Mr. Serjeant Cross, for the defence, said, a verdict must
pass against his client, but it was his duty to address some
observations in mitigation of damages. The defendant on
the day in question had been dining with some friends, ;:nd
bad taken too much wine ; no one could more regret than
be did what had occurred, and offered to make any apology
to prevent a public discussion of so unpleasant an affair.

The Jury returned a verdict for itie plaintiff, damages
—4Ol.

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

Edward Bennett, an old offender, was transported for
life, for picking the pocket of a country gentleman, walking
through St. Paul's Church-yard.
George Carman, labourer, aged 45 years, was capitally
indicted for uttering a forged bill of exchange for 471., with
intent to defraud Mr. J. D. Child, wine-merchant, Bishops-
gate-street Without. On.the 29th of September, the pri-
soner, whom the prosecutor' had known when he kept a
public-house in the Old-street-road, called at his ware-
house, and asked him to discount the bill i❑ question,
which purported to be drawn upon Mr. James Ellis, the
great hop-planter at Barming, Kent. The prisoner ob
tained 2/. on account, and on his return for the balance
was taken into custody, it having in the meantime been
discovered that the bill was a forgery.
The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he in-
serted that the bill bad been given to him by Smith, an
itenerant hawker of fruit.

Mr. Mortimer, a partner in Whitbread's house, Mr.
Sewell, a distiller, Mr. Smith, auctioneer, and other wit-
nesses, gave the prisoner a good character; they had known
him for the last five months.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Death.
. Henry Mortimer, aged 19 years, the son of a mechanic
in his Majesty's dock-yard, Portsmouth, was capitally con-
victed of stealing two watches, a mourning ring, and other

maker, Crispin-street, Spitalfields.
William Glegg, aged 16 years, was found guilty of
stealing a gold watch, value 201. from the house of his
master, Mr. Mann, a fishmonger, at Paddington.

through the capital charges in the calendar, adjourned the
Court.
