LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 3.
The Loan Cumick.c.r.na sent a message into Court
this morning, to say, if any Gentlemen were waiting
lot) judgments. they need not remain any longer, as
health would not permit him to speak much to-day.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 3.
ASSAULT IN BOND•IITRESTr...WOOLI 9. WAINWRIGHT.

Mr. C. PHILLIPS introduced this as a very agora
rated assault, calling for exemplary damages.
parties were both in the rank of Gentlemen; the plain-
tiff was an Officer in the Army, and the defendant a
partner in a great glass-warehouse in Conduit-street,
and possessed of considerable wealth. On the 15th
of March, Mr. Wood was riding in .Bond-street, at
that hour of the day at which it is -most frequented,
when Mr. Wainwright, who had been avowedly
waiting fur him, came up, struck him several blows,
while he could not defend himself, and on his grit-
ting his horse, pursued him, repeated his attack, and
laid his head open. For this injury Mr. Wood now
sought compensation, and hoped the Jury would con-
sider, not merely his bodily sufferings, but also the
wound inflicted on his'feelings and on his honour.
Mr. Dean Walker said he was walking in Bond-
street with a Gentleman named Olivera, on the 15th
of March, when Mr. Wainwright came up, and asked
to speak to him, on which he went away with hiin.
Mr. Olivera, son of the merchant of that name,
proved that Mr. Wainwright told him he was waiting
for Mr. Wood, and shaking a thick stick in his face,
said ‘, he would give him that;" and told the witness
himself, that if he would cross the street, he would
disfigure him so that his friends would not know him.
On cross-examination by Mr. Baournsam, the wit-
ness admitted that there had been a quarrel between
the parties, but denied that he had heard Mr. Wood
call Mr. Wainwright " the prince of liars." He had
heard from Mr. Wood that he had called the defend-
ant "of all characters the most damnable." He was
himself the cause of their quarrel.
Mr. BitouLti AM offered to do that which lie thought
would be more satisfactory to the feelings of the
plaintiff, as a Gentleman, than pecuniary damages.
He would admit that his client had done wrong, and
offer an apology. . .
Mr. I'llll4les refused this offer, and the cause
proceeded.
A person named Barnes was called to prove the
assault. He sew, on the 13th of March, about four
o'clock, in Bond-street, one Gentleman strike another
on horseback across she loins, a very violent blow
with a stick. The Gentleman on horseback leant
forward and appeared to be in pain. The assailant
repeated his blows twice. Tkp horse flew to the
pavement; the rider attempted to throw himself
the horse, and the man with a stick attempted to
strike him again, but missed him. The plaintiff's
hat fell off; he followed the defendant, who continued
to strike him on the arm with which he attempted to
guard his head. The blood afterwards ran down hie
forehead, and he was led into Mr. Watson's carpet-
warehouse. The defendant came to the door, aqd
called him villain and scoundrel.
On cross-examination the witness said the wan:ace
tion occupied half an hoer. The defendant did not
speak to the plaintiff before he struck him. The plain-
tiff made uo resistance, only collared the defendant.
Lord Clare, who sat on the bench, stated that he
saw the defendant strike the plaintiff when off the
horse; who seemed to suffer great pain. There was
blood on his face.
John Bell proved that the plaintiff was taken into
Mr. Watson's in a state of considerable weakness
and suffering. .. _. .
Mr. l'robert, the' surgeon who attended the plain-
tiff, .said he was bleeding, agitated, and languid.
There was a wound on the scalp of the head, which he
probed. There were alto bruises on the head and arms.
lhe witness attended three or four days, bled him,
and applied various remedies. Be went out on they
fifth day, which was too soon, and the Symptoms'
returned. His bill was £5.
Mr. Baooostara,. for the defendant, admitted that
his client had done wrong in taking the.law into his
own hands instead of quietly bearing the opprobrious
epithets applied to bim, and moving the King's. Bench
for a criminal information, its due contse of it
he submitted that the proliecatiol,whichwasal;
ready proved, ought to operate in mitigation of da-
mages, and to be regarded as palliatiapthat coodiact
which it was impossible to justify,' ' The planar Sian;
clearly entitled to a-Tierdict for the'imouni" of the
surgeon's bill ; he was also entitled to something for
the pain he suffered ; but he *as not entitled to any
sentimental consideration of his feelings; after he bad
rejected the offer of an apology which would be the
most calculated to soothe them, and had insisted on
receiving his recompense in vulgar money of the
realm. He had once before obtained a verdict of
two thousand pounds against a Lady for breach' of
promise of Marriage ; and now he sought 'au Ob.!
