ItaLLICIC •ND WUI V. CI _ .

The plaintiff, an honeft runic, brought his anion
' to recover damages for a brutal alfault committed on
Ihis wife by the defendant, who rode over her while
the was gleaning a few ears of corn on the eftate of
Mr. Durand, of (porting celebrity, near the village
of Carthalton. It appeared. that during the harveß
in Auguß lag, the plaintiff, accompanied by other
women and children of the village, went to glean
' the fields of Mr. Durand, during which the defen-
dant, who is bailiff on the efiate, rode in among them
on horfeback, and expreffed his determination to tide
over all in his way, as his mailer had given him leave
to do fo, or to fend them to the devil. The women
and children, in confequence of his attempt to put
the threat in execution, were greatly terrified, fere-
wal narrowly efcaped, but the plaintiff was untie fnr-
Innate. the defendant purfued her, and although Rte
Eivaed him for Goo's fake to turn .aficle. regardlels
of her cries be rode over her ; the bode trade on her
back, and tlae confequence wa%, that fhe was under
the hands of Mr. Wallace, a forgeon, fur a month,
and was not yet perfetily recovered.
•, The defendant, intlead of expreffing forms, for
the injury he had d"ne, exclaimed, d—n her. flie is
, an old offender, and I had a grudge againft her.
• It was urged by Mr. Serjeant lit s r for the defen-
dant, that he was obliged to tefort to the teems he
had taken to preferve the prnperty of his matter from
I being pillaged. as the plaintiff and the other gleaners
had got among the (hocks. It, however, appeared
fr'm all the witneffes, that none of the ;;leanera were
within a confiderable diflance of the Chocked (heaves;
and that the defendant had no, pretence for h;,
i cendnet.

Mr. Junice Roots directed the Jury to give fuch
damages as would deter the defendant from exerci-
fing hi. inhumanity in future towards perfons of the
plaintiff's defcription. Verdift for the plaintiff—Da-

black lace to the value of 551. t Bs. to a perfon of the
name of Turner to fell for him on ecenmiffion. He
difpofed of it to the Defendant. As one witnefs de-
pofed, the goods were fold in the name of the Plain-
tiff. Another, however, Paid that Turner bad fold
them in I#is own name, as commilEon brokers fre-
quently do. The defendant detained the goods as a
fet off againa a debt alledged to be due byTurner to
him. The plaintiff demanded the refforation of the
lace as being his property. The Jury bad then to
decide between the contradiEtory &dement of the dif-
ferent wit:n(l'es.
Mr. Janice CH4 maw informed them that if they
thould think that the goods were teeny difpolid of
on commiaion, the defendant had no right to detain
another man's property for what Mr. F. might be
fuppofed to be indebted to him. The Jury were of
that opinion, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff to
the full amount or what the lace was Rated at, via.

This was an anion brought to recover back a fum
of money which bad been paid to the Defendant by
a Bankrupt.
The bankrupt hintfelf proved that be had com-
mitted an ad of bankruptcy immediately before he
paid his debt to the Defendant, and therefore the
Agnes, who were the Plaintiffs, had a right to
recover. _ _ - .

..—....
Serjeant Bevy, on the part of the Defendant, con-
tended that the bankruptcy was a fraud trumped up
in order to deprive the Defendant of his jult claim.
As no pofitive evidence was produced to contradia
the teftimnny of the Bankrupt, the Jury found a ver-
die fur the Pl.intiff—.Damages 321.
