COURT OP COMMON TURAS, I/Arm.

' . DERRY V. PLACOCII.
Mr. Sergeant WILDS stated, that this was an action
fur damages for' au insult offered to the plaintiff's feel-
ings. The defendant home time ago erected a house in
Carter•street. Waiwoith, opposite to where the. plaintiff
resided, and soon after applied to the Magistrates to
litonse the house as a• tavern. Tue inhabitants of Car.
teristieet *rewarded.% Petition against this application,
and amongst others Mr. Berry signed his name to the
[-petition. This circumstance, it was supposed, had ea-
cited the dislike of • Mr. Peacock, • end this dislike was
I soon manifested in a manner calculated to produce
serious uneasiness to Mr. Berry. Outside the hew for
which the license had been applied for. a figure was
hung by the neck, representing Mr. Berry. His dress
was accurately described ; he was a tall man, and usually
dressed in black. In this dress he was represented is ith
a plaster of Parit face, and lest there should be any
doubt of the person it was meant to represent, on the
figure was a placard, inscribed, " Elderberry—Paul
Pry—Carter street." Mr. Peacock's sons were in the
street while the effigy was hanging, and attracted the
notice of the mob to Mr. Berry's house. The represen-
tation was left hanging from the house for several hours.
Ihe consequence was, that it was seen by every one in
the neighbourhood, and Mr. Berry b..carne an object of
ridicule and contempt. He was known as the Paul Ps y
of Walworth, and would continue to bear the appeal'.
tion.until the Jury shewed their disapprobation of the
Insult offered him, by the amount of the damages they
Should give as compensation.—Witnesses having been
called in support of this statement,
Mr. Sergeant TADDY addressed the Jury for the.de.
fondant. His client, he said, disclaimed all knowledge
'of the act which had given so much offence to Mr.

to take it down. He went further, he offered a guise,
reward on the ipot to any one that would inform him
who had set up this.representation, and decifred that he
knew nothing of the transaction, and that he was ashamed
of being charged with sanctioning it.
Witnesses having been examined in support of the
statement of 'the defendant's Coonsel, the Chief Justice
left it to the Jury to say, whether 'tisk effigy was hung
up with the knowledge of the defendant? and Jan, whe-
ther it was intended to represent the plaintiff? If the
Jury decided these questions in the affirmative, the
plaintiff was entitled to &images for the insult which
had been offered to him, and 'which only could have
arisen from a spirit of deliberate'arralice.
The Jury after consulting a few minutes, returned a
verdict far the plaintiff—Damages, 1201.
