SHIPLEY V. SYOIIE.

This anion was bronglit to recover damages fir
an atfault, alledged to have been committed by the
Defendant on the Pla;milr. It appeared that the par-
ties bad been old friends and feilow-foldiers. 6.14%
ley is a ferjeant in the 'ft Loyal Dragoons, Stone a
quarter-mafler on halt pay, and a pen Goner of the
Cbarter•houfe. Their quarrel originat:d from a cases'
4hich produces the greatell fubluoary bills to may.
and alto produces, and has often produced, the mutt
fatal hoftility, even before the Piece of Troy. Mr.
Shipley and Mr. Stone had entertained mutual re-
fentment and diflike (and one of them a little jca.
billy) about a lady : explanation bad taken place
through the interpofition ct friends, and they 'hock
hands, to all appearance (atd pelhap, in reality)
quite reconciled to eirh other, and to cement their
renewed friendlhip, they agreed to adjourn to a ta-
vern. The paaions of love and jealoufy are very
tutbolent even when we ate fober ; wine inflames
and infuriates them. The old friends entered into
further „planation on the rabic& which had been
prevtoutly difcuffed, and apparently fettled. Sum.
gave Shipley not a violent, but a patlioriate blows
and the Jury gave Shipley as. damps.
