COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dia. 6.

This Court was occupied fora considerable time in a case of
assault, Webb v. Wait, which possessed no public interest.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the plaintiff, a builder,
proved that the defendant, a carpenter, had kicked and
otherwise ill treated his diem at a pubiic•house, appa-
rently with an intention to provoke hint to retaliate
Fvr the defence, it was contended that the whole affair
was a mere drunken frolic, and that the defendant had
afterwards offered to make an apology, pay the costs,
and •' stand a dozen of wine." _

The CHII7 Jurriss expressed his opinion, that with
the exception of the wine, which might perhaps breed
another quarrel, this would.be the best way of settling
the matter.

Die. Sergeant VAUGUAN, however, said that it was somewhat
late to snake such an offer now, and pressed for a verdict.
The Jury accordingly found for the plaintiff, damages 40s.

WVEI V. HART.

This was an action fix assault. The Jury found for the plain-
tiff, damages 404.

ARCHES COURT, Dsc. 6.
mums r. AItISM

in this case, the Cot, RT said, that the fact of the mar-
riage, according to the law of Scotland, was clearly
made out ; and the fact of adultery committed between
Lord Amiens and Mrs. Newcomb, was supported by
such evidence, that the Court could entertain no doubt
upon it. Lady Amiens, therefore, was entitled to the
relief she prayed -for. The Court accordingly pro-
nounced for the divorce.

IMR 0111/Mi OF JODOR PROMOTED IT THE RIM W. TOILFILLI V.

GIWIGE CLASICIIO/4.

This was a suit promoted by the perpetual Curate of
the parish of Minster, in the Isle of Sheppy, against one
of the Overseers, for brawling in the church, and inter-
rupting the congregation by publishing a notice in the
Church, calling on the parishioners to meet and resist a
demand made for Easter offerings. The case now came
before the Court for the admission of articles.
Dr. LUSHINOTON, for the Overseer, contended that
the parish officers had a right to publish notice of a
vestry without the sanction of the Minister, and that
the person proceeded against had committed no eccle-
siasttcal offence.

Drs. JZIINIR and ADDAMS contended that the con•
duct of the Overseer was highly irreverent and inde-
corous. He read the notice standing on the back of his
own pew, before the Minister left the pulpit. The con-
tents of that notice were offensive to the Minister, and
calculated to produce that disturbance which the statute
was intended to prevent.
TIN Comm decided that the articles be admitted to prod.
An affirmative issue was then put in, by which, to
avoid the expense of carrying on the suit, the party
proceeded against, admitted the offence. He was there-
fore admonished to observe a more proper and orderly
course of conduct for the future, and was condemned
in costs.

This is the anniversary of the death of Edward Hyde,
Earl of Clarendon, at Rouen, in France, 1674.
