BALLAD

Deep in a lone sequestered dell.
Where sweet Content had deigned to dwell,
A humble cottage reared its dome,
Once poor Rosa's peaceful home.
Rosa fair, of matthless mien,
Rosa, Beauty's peerless Q,ueett:
Long had she graced her native vale,
But Florio urged the treacb'rous tale—
Riches, honours, life were vain,
Without the pride of Annan's plain!—
Rosa listened—Rosa sighed—
Rosa loved—despaired—and died !

LAW REPORT.

Evidence having been produced that the work had
been done, a clerk of the plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Lis-
comb Price, of St. John's-square, Clerkenwell, proved
that he wrote the letter to the defendant, demanding
not only payment of the defendant, but Ss. also for the
letter. The defendant, in agfew days after, called, offer-
ing to pay the amount of the debt; but he was told
those were " expense:," and those he refused to pay. A I
writ had beep issued that day little after eleven I
o'clock; and when the defendant called to pay the debt,
it was between eleven and twelve o'clock.
Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendant, stated, that on the
pan of the parish of St. Sepulchre, there was no wish
that the plaintiff should not be paid his just demand;
but it was considered only tight to defend this action,
in order to withstand that which was conceived to be an
imposition of the attorney. For thirty years the plaintiff,
and his father before him, had printed for the same pa-
rish, and had been paid periodically for the work Which
they had done, without the slightest demur or hesita-
tion. It was, therefore, with the greatest astonishment
Mr. Rippon received the threatening letter from the
plaintiff's attorney. He proceeded immediately to pay
the demand; but as legal proceedings had been wholly
unnecessary, he resisted (as he conceived justly), on the
part of the parish, the payment of any costs.
For the defendant, it was proved, that the order for
the printing in question was given by the vestry. clerk.,
Several bilis were produced for furnishing lists rat jurors
under the new Jury Act, and also for a list of the over-
seers of the poor. The plaintiff had also inquired of the
vestry-clerk, to whom the amount of his account. should
be charged, and was by him distinctly told to charge it
to the overseers of the poor.
The Loan Comer Jusioci stated, that he forbore making any ob-
servattons on the conduct of the attorney, as that was not now the
subject for the consideration of the Jury, hut in his opinion, the
plea in abatement was sufficient answer to the pWntirs dentand,-1
Verdict for the defendant.
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.—AMBRAGEII. P.,AKEH.
This action was brought by a corn dealer residing
in St. J An-street, against the defendant, to recover da-
mages for a malicious prosecution.
Mr. CAMPBELL stated, that the defendant and his wife
entered the plaintiff's house in July last, and having
made an unfounded demand, were ordered to with-
draw. they refused t. comply, and not only abused,
but assaulted the plaintiff, who was at that time lame.
A persbn named Dean, who tied in the house, came
down and turned the defend'.ut out. On his way into the
street he threatened to Sores up the plaintiff and his wife
before Christmas. He soon after went to Hicks's Hall
and preferred a bill of indictment against the plaintiff
and his wife for an assault. The plaintiff was obliged to
take his trial at the Sessions, and was acqnitted.
Witnesses were caticd to prove the above case, after which
Mr. ADOLPHUS, who was for the d•fendant, Submitted that the
plaintiff had not proved malice on the part of his client.
The Loan Caner Jerrie' suggested, that the best way of settling
the cause would be for the parties to Withdraw a Juror, and settle
their dispute neer a bottle of wine.
His Loan:does advice was wisely taken, and a Juror withdrawn.
ASSAULT.—FgATHER V. HEATH AND POMFRET.
This action was brought by the plaintiff, a bill broker,
in the City of London, to recover damages for an assault
committed by the defendants.
It Appeared that the plaintiff had been to the Surrey
Theatre on the night of the 15th of June last, and after
the performance he went to an oyster shop with a Lady
to take refreshment. He was paying for his oysters,
when the defendants, who are both young men, came
in, and Pomfret insulted him by saying, " Here's a nice
.little Gentleman with a low crowned hat." Heath, the
other defendant, then put -his hand on Mr. Feather's
hat, and pressed it on his head. The plaintiff imme-
diately expressed a strong sense of, the insult, and said
the defendants were anything but Gentlemen: Heath
then struck him in the face. The keeper of the oyster
shop interfered, and turned Heath out ; but whilst he
was doing so, Pomfret struck the plaintiff. The con-
stable of the night having been called in, the fracas
ended. Mr. Feather, the plaintiff, who is between 50,
and 60, was badly beaten by the youthful assailants.
His face was covered with blood, and he was nearly
deprived of the use of .a finger. He kept his bed some
time after the assault, and upon the whole it was con-
tended that the Jury ought to mark by a suitable ver-
dict the misconduct of the defendants.
Mr. J. WILLIAM., on the part of the defendant Porn-
fret, stated that Heath, sorry for what he had done,
did not defend the action, but had suffered judgment to
go by defadlt. With respect to Pomfret, he had taken
a small share in the affray.
The LORD CHIEN JUSTICE left the Jury to say what
damages the defendants ought to pay for the assault,
which they had committed in a state of intoxication.—
One was a cork-cutter, the other had been clerk to .a
cheesemonger.
The Jury found >i verdict for the plaintiff, with 151. damages
against each of the defendants.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Novawsza &
Damon V. RIPPON. • •
This was an action by the plaintiff, a printer, residing
in St. John's-street, Clerkenwell, to recover from the
defendant, one of the overseers of the poor of the parish
of St. Sepulchre, the sum of 91.75. for printing done on
behalf of the said parish upon the alleged order of the
defendant. The defendant had pleaded a special plea
in abatement, that, if liable at all, he was jointly liable
with three other persons, also overseers of the poor, and
therefore they ought to have been joined in the pre-
sent action.
Mr. PLATT, in stating the plaintiff's ease to the Jury,
observed, that when an attorney's letter was sent to the
' defendant, demanding the amount of the plaintiff's claim,
he offered to pay the debt, but refused payment of the
costs, never objecting that he was not liable, or that he
was jointly liable with the other overseers as set up by
his present plea, and therefore tbat.defence will not now
avail him.
