2ACHARIAH V. AARON. . .
This was an 'action'of slander. The fittinttff and
defendant were both Jews,livilig at Pottsmoutd, at
which place the plaintiff kept a shop opposite the Sally
Port Gate. Vac slander he complained of was, that
the defeddantlsOuld`feequently make a riot near Lis
houte, by calling out aloud— o there lives Zechariah, .
the ?ass of Bant notes l" which meant that he was.
arritteres *Of forged bank notes. Having gathered the '
populace by these exclamations, he told them that the
plaintiff bad employed him, the defendant. to utter
forged notes, 'and that he had made him coMrdit
many a forget-Y.'
I
M. PARiCE, who led the case, expatiated on the,
mischief that might arise veal tradesman's `character 1
from this tort of slander, and hoped the Jttry would
give 44equate damages. (. :T.. . -,,

it:motion observedio /he Jury, that tie ld'Ords being
!proved, and they being actionable, the ittrY Mutt give
some dantages ; but he observed; the plitintiff had
drought proper to try his cause in London, where
both parties were unknown, rather than at their own
homes, and this might ;'count for the Cause being tin-
.defenied; For the defendant Might Mt be in a cap-
ditien to bring his Witnesset so far froin'hotni. - The'
Jury, therefore, in giving the amount of danisgos;
would write off something on that score. Ver.aict for
plaintiff for £l5. .
itAtic v. TAYLOR. •
' The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated this to he an ac-
tion brought by a young woman who lived with an
aunt at. Islington, to recover a compensation in • da,l
1 mages, from the defendant, the proprietor of one of
the stages running between London and Islingtoti, I
1 for an injury sustained by her, while proceeding as Ifni
outside passenger on the top of the defendant's coach;
whence she was precipitated, in consecpience of 'the
beglikence of the defendant's se-tant. k;eldom a day
passed in which injut•ks ort')is kind aid not arise,
.and it was hardly possible for a persoato cast his eyes
over the columns of a newspaper, in which were re-
corded the passing occurrences of the :dab without
witnessing some fresh calamity.having been sustained
by individuals who ate necessitated to oust themselves.
to the mercy of drivers of stage Coachei. In the pre-
sent case it would be seen not only that the plaititif
had sustained a serious injury from the negligence of
the defendant's servant* but that the fellow bad even.
the inhumanity, On finding that the young woman I
was too much hurt to proceed iMmediately., that he
tvent on without her, leaving her ro shift for herself in
the best manner she could, in conseetsence of which
she might have been exposed to additional inconveni-
ence, had it not been for the attention and kindness of
some persons who Were passing at the time* by whom ,
she was sent home in a coach to het aunt's house.— .
The public, he thought, were obliged tb persons who.
brought aotions of this kind, and the Jut y, he was
satisfied, would do their daty in giVing reasonable
•i
damages:
It was stated by the witnesses on the part of the!
plaintiff,' that the coach started from the back of the
'Change, and being behind his time, the coachman
was driving at a more than usual rate of speed, and,
on turning the corner of Bartholomew-lane, through
his carelessness, the wheel of the carriage came in con-
tact
with a post, and, by the violence of the shock, the
coach was nearly overturned. Siberal of the outside ;
,passengers were thrown off and much hurt; amongst 1
them was the plaintiff, who received more severe in-;
jury than the others. She was attended by a surgeon I
for a month, and it was stated, that she had not since
been in so good a state of health as she bad been pre-
vious to' the accident happening.
On the par: of the defendant, it was contended, that
this was an accident, add in no way arising from the.
carelessness of the defendant's driver:
Lord ELLENBOROL'OH observed, this was no excuse:
The defendant was liable, even though the injury
should have been the effect of accident. The Jury,
would consider what was a fair reasonable compeal
sation for the injury the plaintiff appeared to have re- I
ceived, and give her that sum.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages FM
/ YOUNG v. BROUGHTON.
. .

This. was an action in trover, to recover back a
wherry and a pair of sculls, or the value of them,'
which had been obtained from the plaintiff under the
following citcutnstances :—lt appeared, that a So-
ciety of Gentlemen, residing at Limehouse, had given
a wherry to be rowed for by three young warermen,
one of whom was the presentplaintiff. Three persons I
were appointed as Managers of the race, one of whom ;
was the defendant. On the evening preceding the
race, printed regulations were delivered by the Ma-
nagers to the candidates; and, in those articles, it
was stated, that any accident happening, to impede
the progress of any of the candidates, the others were
to continue their course, The race commenced the
next day, and three heats out of four had taken place,
when the Managers having received an intimation,
that there was an intention, on the part of two of the ;
candidates, to foul the other,- they, previous to their 1
starting for the fourth and grand heat, communicated
to the candidates, that, in case of any fouling, all
were to turn round, go back, and start again. This
was agreed to by all, and they started under this new
agreement. They had not proceeded far before two
of them fouled : the plaintiff was a-head,, and conti-
nued to row, though called on by the Umpires to stop,
observing; he would not stop or come back for any
one. He proceeded, and, of course, gairied the race.
He afterwards obtained possession of the Aherry ;
hut, after he had had it several days, the _defendant
took it from the place where it was lying ; and the
present action was brought to recover her value.
The plaintiff's Counsel• contended, that the mana-
lers had no power to change the regulations, after'
the race bad commenced ; and, therefore, that the
plaintiff had 'a right to proceed, and claim the wherry.
Lord ELLENsorioron--,, They certainly had a ,
right to alter the regulations:, with the consent of
all the parties concerned. Here, it appeared, was
a distinct assent on the part -of the plaintiff ; and,
therefore, he was bound by that assent."
The ATTORNEY GENERAL •••64 Then, my Lord, I
fear I must strike my colours,• and he nonsuited."
Plaintiff nonsuited.
