• VICE-CHANCELLLOE'S COURT, Dec. S.
JUDGMENT.
TRY V. LOAD 11111111014Xt.
The VICI Cuascsuoa gave lodgment in this case. The ques-
tion turned upon the proper construe. Mon of a clause in the deed of
settlement, entered into by a gentleman named Racoon Cream*,
with a Mess Wootton. It appeared that the only issue of that
marriage was a daughter, through Whom the plaintiffs claimed ;
that the question for the Court to decide was, whethersheWas
entitled, previous to her marriage, to have a sum of £lO,OOO raised
for her use under that settlement? His Honour, after 'minutely
detailing the facts of •• the case, which are 4together destitute of
public. interest, cited a; vast number of eases, among
.whtchwerit
Woodstock v. the Duke of Dorset, Hope v. Lord Clinton, Peals
v. Burdett, lac. upon which be founded iris decision, which was,
that Mks Creswell was clearly'' entitled to have hat her portion '
raised. The plaintiffs, as her representatives, were cals'lntentti
entitled to that sum which had been paid into Court by Me ,Noble
defendant, upon his Lordship concluding a purchate of the Ores,
well estate. His Honour tonsequently ordered the money lo be
paid to the plaintiffs; and the trustees to pay the cams of all peaks

pensation in damages for an assault. . The plaintiff was it lunar-
painter; and a very respectable man in private life. ThelefendaSt
was a butcher; and carried on business In Shoe-lane.' 'The. plaintiff

tion. The plaintiff also put a pane of glass in the defeodant's shop
wind's*, for which he charged 6s, no very exorbitant charge. • But
the defendant having decision for another pane. of glass, employed
another painter and glazier, who put it in for 31.6 d.. It appeared
'that the defendant became extremely irritated at this overcharge,
as he considered it, of dipence, and addressed the plaintiff, as he
was passing by his shop on the 2d of March last, and accused him
of having imposed upon him, ant insisted that he should admit that
he was in the wrong. The plaintiff refused, and then the defend-
ant called him a liar, a scoundrel, and& thief, and gave him a blow
between the eyes, which knocked him down in the. gutter.. The
plaintiff bad his painting brushes in one hand and something else in
the other, so that he could make no defence at the time; while the
defendant; Who Was a powerful man, showed that be could knock
do en his Majesty's subjects with as much dexterity as he knocked
down bullocks. •The plaintiff was ill for some time, but still be was
willing, before this action came on for trial, to have accepted an
apology,, and the payment of the expenses to which be had been put
in ennddesvoiring to procure redress. He was ready to accept the
same•terms yet, but he understood that the defendant was deter-
mitact to persist in making his defence, and the plaintiff had no
means of procuring redress except by submitting his case to a Tory.
Two witnesses were called, who made out the case as stated by
the plaintirs Counsel..
Mr. Joan Wittimis called three witnesses, who stated thatthe
plaintiff had given great provocation' to the defendant, by tailing
him liar, Ste. and striking at him.
Mr. Judie Paaxi observed that the verdict must be for the
plaintiff, but the amount of damages must depend on Whig oidoloo
the Jury had the nature of the transaction.
