being. a tfitb advabcain years, and or a weak con.
Ritutton, the confinement in a prifon, though only
till the next morning, might greatly endanger his
health ; they entreated, therefore, that the defendant
would content to his difcharge. The defendant was
obilinately bent on keeping the plaintiff where he
was ; and obferved, the fiery might have its weight
before the Magillrate the next day, but he could not
lifien to it. 'I he plaintiff's friende' then returned to
the prifon, and having, for the firft time, reprefent-
ed the cafe to the Keeper, the latter thought himfelf
warranted in taking a depofit, and the fureties of thofe
prefent, for the plaintiffs appearance the next day'
before the Alderman, and confented to the plaintiff's
prefent liberation. This was on the 28th of Febru
ary lan. On the next day the cafe was heard before
Mr. Alderman Hankey, who difcharged the plain-
tiff out of cullody. The anfwer to this outrage was
that the defendant had been the dupe of tome fwin-
diers with whom the boy was connetted, and imagin-
ing the plaintiff, from the interest he ibewed to the
lad, to be one of them, he had rifled in the way de-
(erased. He was, however, convinced of his error,
and was ready to make any reafonabls atonement in
his power.
Lord ELL ana°RooGH Paid, it was certainly a cafe
of great wantonnefs and folly ; and the only queftion
was with refpea to the quantum of damages. In
eflimating that, the Jury would place themielves in
the situation of the plaintiff, and alk what Tamen-
pence they would mat far filch an outrage?
Verdi! for plaintiff—Damages, One Hundred
Guineas.

language to Captain M. addreffed Ward/ to the
Plaintiff, and exclaimed—" As for you, you d—d
rafeal, you deferve to be hanged, and immediately
ftruck 'him a blow in the face. The Defendant, by
his Connie], expreffed his contrition ; and laid he had
a wife and !even children to fupport, oot of his half
pay as a Lieutenant, a fituation he fuppoied himfelf
brought to by the reprefentations of the Plaintiff and
his friends. The jury found a verdia for the Plain-

I Mayor, Recorder, and Aldermen, at the Town-hall,
a caufe of confiderable importance to the public ;

keth v. Braddock, 3d Burr. 1847, viz. challenging
Ifirft the array, becaufe the Sheriff and returning Of.

fecond, the Polls, becaufe they were freemen.
