John,Legerwond—l am a mat-maker, and was on
the Uxbridge road on the 4th of August last, about
fopr or fife in the afternoon, and saw little Dowsett
there. t•don't suppose he is 10 years (aid. It was about
three miles and at half from Tyburn Turnpike. He was
under a wall catching apples. I saw a gig coming
along towards London. It was about ten yards off.
The road,is wide enough for five or six carriages, and
there was of course plenty of room for any man to have,
avoided she child, who was in the road about four feet
fipm the.path. I saw the horse knock him down, and
the wheel came about up to his loins when the Gentle.
map backed, and the horse trampled very much on the
child,; the defendant attempted to drive on, but a per-
son took hold of the horse's head, at which he struck at
him with his whip. At this time the child was taken
carried into a house. He appeared very much
hurt.. Aline was another Gentleman in the gig. •
,Cross-expenined—l should think the road was 42 feet
wide.; ,I floret know that ever I saw a wider road. I
was,walking along, and bad not seen the child alikove
two, saingtes before L saw the gig. Some of the children
userenp the path, and some in the road. Ailtise

up. , t jaw them run up on the path; be stood still,
looking-at ahe,wall;l4 -did not hear the other childrea

site, sine of the road. The gig was coming along at a
rate of about seven miles an hour. I mean to say po.
aitively, that. when the gig was coming up, and the
other childreo ran upon the path, -that this child stood
still., • be defendant did not pull up immediately on
seeing .ihe child. Ido not think he basked the hose to
do hirais double injury. He did not begin to pull up
bfkoitt ha Itnocked the child down. There was a cart
on the opposite side of the read, and had passed the boy
in a different direction from the gig, leaving him on
ceire efrielibdto 15 feet. 1 know Dowsett now, but never,
did before this transaction. The man who stopped the
horse was the drifts of the cap, •

last witness. He wardriving his master's cart on- the
day -in question, and witnessed the transaction, which
he descnbed as the preceding witness bad done, add-
ing, .that when .he attempted to stop the hone, the
defendant struck at him. The father of the child ca
up, and the defendant then gave his name, and said
het lived'at Paddington ; be appeared to be- rathbr of
liquor; and very resolute. I don't mean to say that ht.
was dniak
In cress-examination, he said that his reason- foe
soppcteink him to be in liquor was; his not stopping
when he had done the mischief, and his. striking
him when he attempted to stop him. The defendan
said, When he got out of the gig, that he was very
well known on that road, and there was no occasion to
stop him.
Robeit Draggett confirmed the testimony of the
other. witnesses.

Sbepherd'sobash. with two wounds on the scalp, and a
alight wound oa one hand; be was in a dangerous state

for setae time. having received a concussion of the

This-was the plaintiff's case. : * ••

• Mr. Sergeant Anaus addressed the joty 14 the de.
fendint. • He remarked that there was no situation so
difficult or distressing to a Counsel as that of appearing
to defend a man who was charged with an act of in-
humanity: it appealed to him, however, that there was
no grosnd for the present action. The catastrophe
'upon which the present uctioo was groundedlrits purely
the result of accident,. and arose more from the incau-
tioutiesi natural to children than from any neglect on
the part of -the kfendant. Independently of this, lie
contended that a verdict must j7oras fur his client on the
ground of the utter incredibility of the plaintiff's wit-
neseel. • The story was inconsisteot from beginning to
end, sod such as he weirs positiie the Jury would not
Nee upon. Having made these obseriations, he left the
gni IN their hands, confidently anticipating a verdict
'i his ievoar. If, however,. the Jary Arvid think the
plaistiffesuided to recover, he was convinced it would
be only for a very small amount..
Burtioutti, in summing up, said it ap-
-004 to him that ilie only Cluebtion for the, decision
of the Soly was ditraeount of damage. It *4 clear
