This was a rule, calling upon the defendants, two
American Rodents of medicine, to thew caufe why
a criminal information (hould not be filed againil
them. The profecutor is a Mr. Afltew, fon of the
late Sir Edward Atkew, who, in his affidavit, Rates,

came, and though there was no room, withed to feat
himtelf by his fide; that after civilly remonftrating
with him, he gently punted him off; that after the
leaure Mr. Cock fent him a challenge by Mr.Upfhaw ;
and that, as he refuted to fight, Mr. C. polled a hand-
bill over that pan of the town, holding him up to
contempt and odium.

were it not to interfere on the prefent occation. There
was nothing to thew that this gentleman had reafon
to be irritated and thrown off his guard, of that he
continued fo during all the offenfive aas now tom•
plained of.—Rule for a crime. inf. abfolute.
