Mr. Justice PARK—That shows his gentle dispo-
sition, certainly.—(A laugh.) thatthe
Mr. SergeantJatizs contended, that from that cir-
cumstance, it was evident lie had not acted under
the influence of premeditated anger or passion. He
had been incensed by the woman's calling him a vil-
lain. The Learned Servant admitted that a verdict
must pass for the plaintiff; but that verdict, he also
contended, should be for a small amount.
Mr. Justice PARK hoped the Jury would send
him out of Court with a charge of inhumanity, and
that too of the grossest kind, for in the whole course
of his life his Lordship had never heard a case of
more wanton, briital, and unprovoked assault than
the presents
The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, 50/.

STOCKMAN AND WIFE V. SARI HENDRY.
re. CUMMINS opened the pleadings. This wee
an action of slander, alleged to have been committed
on the female plaintiff. The defendant pleaded the
general issue:
Mr. Setgeaitt WILDE stated that the plaintiffs
carried on busint in China-row, Lambeth, as la--
dies' shoemakers. The wife's maiden name was
Baker, and her father resided in Lambeth, as did
also the defendant, who is a foreigner,. and a native
of Morocco. Mrs. Stockman alleged that he bad
propagated a 'charge in Lambeth, alike false and .in-
jurious -to het, and one calculated to render her and
-her friends 'troy unhappy. The charge complained
of was, that Mrs.,-Stockeaao had keen taken I. for
shop-lifting, having stolen a quantity of lace of et."l7
siderable value, for which she had been sentenced
to transportation, and her father had had consider-
able difficulty, and had exerted-great interest to get
that sentence commuted to confinement in the Peni-
tentiary. The charge being utterly false, and calcu-
lated to do irremediable,injury to Mrs. Stockman,
her only resource was to come into a Court of Jus-
tice, where the whole case might be investigated.
Mr. William Tracey.---I am a linen draper, living
near the family of Mrs. Stockman. I know her
father. He lives in Mount-street, Larobeth. The
defendant called on me in April or June last. He
came into the shop and asked me if it was true that
Mr. Baker's daughter had been taken up for shop-
lifting. I replied " I hope it is not true." He said
nothing at that time of a trial.
Mrs. Mary Minuet.--I live in Mount-row, Lam-
beth. In February or March last the defendant was
at my house. A young lady who lives with me was
present.. He -spoite of Mr. Baker's daughters, but
never of Mrs. Stockman. He said that one of them
was transported. He did not say for what—nor
did he say which daughter it was. Ido not km..cv
any of Baker's family. I live nearly opposite to
him. That was the only occasion of my hearing
any thing from him. He said, "I am very sorry
for Baker, poor man." That is all he told me. I
made no further inquiry.
Mr. Baker—l am collector of taxes in the parish
of Lambeth. The defendant has been often at my
house. 1 have heard him speak of Mrs. Stockman.
He asked me if I had heard any thing unpleasant
about Mr. Baker's daughter. I said I had not. He
said he heard she got into trouble, which lie was
sorry for, and hoped it was not true. That was all
that passed.
By the COURT—The defendant did not mention
Mrs. Stockman's name, but only Baker's daughter.
Mr. Robert Baker--I am a perfumer in Lambeth ;
Mrs. Stockman is my daughter. In consequence of
what I heard I made an application to him' on the
3d of June. As I entered his room he said, " Mr.
Baker, I anticipate what you have called on me for.
It is respecting the conversation I had with Mrs.
Minnet." He said he pitied me, and was extremely
sorry for my family. I asked him what he had
heard, and what he had said. He said, as he sat
at his bed-room window he overheard the conver-
sation of two women in the street. I inquired what
that was.- He said, that ,my married daughter was
taken up for shoplifting, and was sentenced to trans-
portation ; but from my exertion and heavy ex-
pence it was commuted to imprisonment in the
House of Correction. I asked if he knew those
women ; 'he said- he did, not.
Mr. Justice PARK.—These witnesses have dis-
tinctly proved that he never mentioned Mrs. Stock-
man's name, or in any way laid the charge on her.
It was evident he had only mentioned the
,eircum-
stance in order to pump out the truth or falsehood of
it ; and throughout appeared to have evinced a very
deep regret at it. His Lordship was therefore of
opinion that the charge was not made out, and that
the plaintiff must be nonsuited.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.
