THZ KING V. MOGUL AND OTHERS.

This was an indictment for assaulting and wrong.
fnliy imprisoning William Groves on the 28th of Fe-
• binary last.
From the statement of Sir J. SCARLITT, end the evi-
dence for the prosecution, it appeared that the prose
tutor, Mr. Groves, who was one of the masters for the
management of the poor st Mile-end, attended a parish
meeting to consider the state of the poor house, and
' having made some remark's in answer to objections'
which had been urged against his being present at the
meeting, in consequence of his not having paid his rates,
be was.vored out of the room, aid nct moving quietly,
he was forced out by the defendants. In the struggle,
Which lasted some minutes. his coat was torn off his
back, and he was taken to Lambeth-street police office
and charged with disorderly conduct, but the Magis-
trates dismissed the complaint. ,
The COMMON Settounv appeared for the defend-
ant.; but atter the prof. altar and another witness had
been examined, and before the defendant's case was
gone into, Sir J. SCARIATT proposed that the whole,
mater shcuid he Islet red in a barrister to settle the
amount of compensation.' it he 'should. think the de.
.-fentiants RDA' ; the prosecutor undertaking to enter a
volle prosersi in ta.e the as bitrator should be of opinion,
th.t the plipecution ought not to have twee instituted.
. Ihe Coulson. Setioaane acquiesced, ant; the case
.. was referred accordingly. .

This was an action to recover corn pettiAtion for an
in airy sii,tained by the plaintiff, a 'widow, in constcrience
of the defendant having driven his gig over her.
Sr J. Straniert witted- that the piaiotiff was a re-
spectable Lady; residing in &set. She wa, 60) eat s of
age. While' she wss along Aidgate, the de-
fendant, who was in his gig, acccinopssnied by a clergy-
gn, drove against het. and. threw her down ; and n, t
having then storped. as he niyht have done, one of Vie
wheels went nye! her .thigh. She was taken up in a
state of insensibility and carried into a.baker's shop. and
from thence conveyed to the house of a surgeon r f he
name of Robinson; in Pooch:lan's-kid-. She was found
to be much tnjwed, and remained at Mr. Rohitwin's
bottle for a consider ble time. The defendant called on
Mr. Robinson and offered to pay his hill, but it had not
at that time been made r- t. When the plaintiff returned
to her own house, she employed a Gentleman of the
name of Douglas to write to the defendant tor comy%n-
-I.4iioß. The .defendant then called upon Mr. Douglas,
and stated that he as unable t stop his horse, so as
to prevent the plaintiff being knocked down, but she
might have stopped before the wheel went over her
thigh. He refused, bOweeer, to make compensation,'
• and said it was the plaintiff's own fault..as she had' tint
got out of she way. His pleas to this action were to the
aatne effect. brit he'was mistaken in his lase. A person
driving in the Street was bound to take care that he did
• , not drive Witer °those who were walking, even. though
they did owt get out of the way.
Before any evidence was gone into, W.F. POLLOCK,
for the defendant, proposed .a reference, which the
rlAintiff is Counsel aCCe de.t to.
A verdict was then mitred for the plaintiff, subject
to a sett:mace.

This was an action of slander brought by a daughter
against her own father; for certain siaucleinus ezpret•sions
which she alleged he had made use of. and which she
insi•ted were defamatory of her character. She had
theiefore thought it right to bring the present action for
the sole purpose of vindicatintheecharacter.
The LORD CUSHY JUPTICE. before the case wss pro
seeded in, sugge.terl the propriety (as the parties wete
so nearly related) of a refetencc as it could not be other-
wise than pailful to the feelings of every one that such
an investigation should be nude public.
The Counsel on both sides appeased to concur in
opinion as to the propriety of the suggestion, and after
some consultation lietween themselves, they determined
to refer the case to blr..lsocice.
