This was an aeiun for an affault, and the fol.
lowing were the circumflances of the•cafe. The
Plaintiff was an oilman, and the Defendant a tar-
penter. They had dealings together, and on the
ad of Jnly'the Plaintiff called on the lefendant to
pay him a bill. He laid 'the money down, at
the fame time telling him there it was, except
what had been dedutled by the Surveyor, who
had furveyed his work. The Defendant got in a
paffion, and (wore he would hot be humbugged,
by him nor his Surveyor neither. This produced
a great deal Of angry converfation, in which the
carpenter told the chandler that his candles were

few nights previous one of them had bounced
about the room, and almoil frightened a pregnant
Woman into a mifcarriage. He alto frequently

HARDCASTLE 'ATV*.

• This anion was brought to recover the value of I
'fourteen water elnfets and pumps, put up in the
-Royal Crefcent Buildings, at Brighton.
It appeared that Mr. Bayer had contralted
with a perfon of the name of Laft, fur building the
boufes iu queßion. Let had become bankrupt,
hut before that event, had ordered the water do.
Its for thefe houfes, and the quellion now was,
whether he had ailed as agena for Mr. Bayer, or
bad ordered them upon his own credit?
The C,onnfel for the nefendant contended, that
Mr. Bayer having contrafted with La( for .tbe
building of the whole, heiwas tot refponfible to
the tradefmen who furnithed the feparate parts,
and that if this adion fuceeeded, his client would
be handfed with others from the• bricklayer, the
carpenter, &c. ice. though he had paid the money
to Lae, according to the terms of his contra&
The Learned. Judge having Rated to the Jury,
that if the credit was not originally given to Bayer, he

This was a caufe which occupied a very confir
&Table portion of time. The defendant, a furs
vevcrr, who it a flngle• man, took an apartment it
the hoofe of the plaintiff A blackfrpithi about eight
years 'ago, where he continued to reffde urit4 the
month of April I Soo, when, owing to Como dif-
ference which took place between him, the plaintiff,
and another man, he remdved. The amount of
the plaintiff's demand was .tol. its: 6d.-the (um
of 311. ss. thereof being charged foe elquitt the'
apartments, making Ae bed, lightitrellte
dreffmo the vifluals, wafhing the table-ilnkn; etc.
of the defendant, at the rate of 2L per weekdotibt.
the time of hisrefidence with the plaintiff; foifor-
oifhing the defendant's, clerk or aßprentice whit
sable beer; and for various other ancosifiderable,'
items. Conftdering this latter. part of thedtwasexl
to be nnjuft, the defenaant. had paid 54. 6s. 6tel.'
into Court, as he conceived every other part
thereof to have been liquidated. lt appeared that'
fosse carNmer's work had been done on the Fart'
of the defendant for the.plototifft and Come frotth't
work on the part of theplaintiff forthedefeitdokt
and that, on the *tit of Aitgoll tBOO, 'Mr. Cart-
wright wrote to Mr. Holmes on the (*eh at the
end of the letter, fayiag; if-Mrs. H. wooleffendhei,
private account, he would fettle it. This prii•ste'
fcrved as a boot `of e6ntehtloo bettieesj
K: us and Mr. Pilot; the Vittaferorthel

oppofite fides, the former infaing that by ittwat
meant the 311. ss. in quellion ; the latter, that it
was the private account of rent, &c. independently
of the bufinefs account between the parties.
After much intricate examination, the Learned
Judge fummed up the evidence at great length,

NOAKES V. BACHELOR.

This was an aaion to recover the turn of 1301.
los. 6d. on a bill of exchange; the fum of t 71. tot.
on another bill of exchange ; and the fum of 231.
on a promilrory note.
Mr. Geavow began by obfcrving, that the de-
fendant in this aaion was in a flotation where he
was very much furprifed to find him, and where he
lhould be Rill more furprifed if he were fuffered
long to continue. He Paid he was an affillant or
clerk at the Marine Police Office ; had been in the
habit of manufaauring paper, or bills, for the put.-
pofe of putting into the hands of a Mr.Greettbury;
and, when thole bills were prefented for payment,
of denying his acceptance of them, faring, they
were forgeries. By this means, he had once got
his friend, Mr. Greenbury, into cultody ; but,
when he was apprifed of that, he (ivied a paper,
Rating, that the bill then in quettion was no for-
gery, Inn his real acceptance.
The hand-writing of the defendant was proved
by differem witneffes; and it appeared that he was
not now in the Marine Police Eftabliffiment.

Mr. Eason' e, on- the part of the defendant,
Paid, that Greentutry had iheen guilty of forgery
againa him ; but that, in a moment of talk mercy,
the defendant figned the above-mentioned "paper,
acknowledging the acceponce to be his, or Green-
bury mutt have been hanged. Greenbury's ab.
feoncling, he faidi was a Prong prefumptive proof
of his guilt. The prefent hill of t3ol. los. 6d. he
faid was a forgery, as far as welded to .100 l
thereif. It had b.Ten originally drawn for 301.
OS. 6d. its being drawn on an eightpenny Ramp,
arongly indicated the truth of this; and, when
prefented for payment, the defendant had men-
tioned the alteration, and offered to pay the
301. los. 6d.
The Jury returned a verclia for the plaintiff, of
401. los. the amount of the two other bills.
