, A fir
' 't COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. IS.
ERAS v. THE MARQUIS of HEADEOET.
Mr. PARER stated this to be an action on 2 bill of
0., exchange for seoo. The defence to be set uptlre the
Noble defendant, he understood, was usury ; brit as
'the plaintiff was a person of respectability, a physi-
cian, who had received the bill for a valuable consi.
deratien from a respectable tradesman woo was in-
debted to him, and who had also given 'a valuable
consideration for the bill, he presumed to think that
this defence would not avail the- Noble Marquis.—
~ The defendant, for the sake of raising a large sum of
money. might have bargained to do so on disadvan-
tageous terms; he might even have submitted to ex..
torsion on the part of the person with whom be dealt,
but his Lordship would tell the Jury that all extor. ,
tion was pot usury. A -young and unexperienced'
man, new to the artifices of this great town, would,
where imposed upon, be protected in a Court of
Equity, or even in that Court; but, he understood,
the Noble defendant did not stand in this situation.
The hand-writing of the defendant, as accepter of
the bill in question, was proved.
Joseph Windon, an indorser of the bill, proved his
own hand-writing on the hack of it ; but swore, that
having been employed to negociate it for the defen-
dant, he had been defrauded out of the bill through
.the medium of a person named Hutchinson, and bad
not received for it any valuable consideration.
Mr. Williams, partners of Messrs. Chamberlain
and Williams, proved the indorsement of it by their
,house to the plaintiff; but he was unable to say what
was the nature of the consideration, on account of
Which, the bill came into the hands of his house.
Lord ELIA/41010MR observed, that here a mate-
-1;4 link in the chain Was wanting. It was essential
Rr the plaintiff to shew the bill being charged to be
contaminated with usury, not only that he himself
had received it for a full and valuable consideration,
but that he had received it through a pure source.
• Mr. PARKE accordingly consented that thnplaintiff
should be Ronsuited. • .
Tilt IUIII3 V. BARTOW.
. This was an indictment against the defendant for
an assault on R. Dance. It appeared in evidence
that the defendant was a young gentleman of .the
law, who had, on the day of the ass mit, been dining
at Gray's Inn Hall. In the evening he and three
companions, one of whom was his special pleading
preceptor, came arm in arm up Holborn. and I=l,l
grassing all the pavement, compelled the passengeg
to make way. The prosecutor, who described him.
self as a Carpenter, and Clerk of Portland Chapel
having made an observation in their hearing whici
they did not like, the defendant called him a vile lit.
tie reptile, and threatened to knock him to atoms.—
''This he also accompanied by a blow, upon which
-.4he prosecutor charged the watch with them, and
they were all sent to the watch-house, when one of
them said he was a justice of the peace, and would
ruin them all.
No evidence was called for the defendant ; when
• the Jail found him Guilty. Lord Elise:Bowfin
observed it was a pity that the defendant hid not
made a proper compensation and atonement ; and
vented this public exposure of his indiscretion.
BATCHWELL V. BINGHAM.
This was an action to recover dainages for stab-
' Bing the plaintiff's dog ;to which the defendant had
pleaded, that the plaintiff's dog was at large and un.
muzzled, and that it attacked his dog, and to save
she life of his own dog, he stabbed the plaintiff's dog.
Mr. Jeeett. having stated the ease, it was proved
in evidence as follows :
The plaintiff is page to the Prince Regeet, and
lives at Five Fields, Chelsea.; his wife has the wash-
ing of the linen of Carlton-house, and the dog in
nusstion was a fine large Newfoundland dog, des-
cribed to be a dog of the best temper and manner,
and particularly useful to his master, as a watch for
else linen. On the morning of his death he wept out
with Sarah Lock, the maid, when the defendantt who
lived next door but one, came up to her, and slid he
would stab their dug ; she did not much at-
tend to him, but she saw him draw a bayonet from
ander his coat, and stab the dog twice. Re thei
wiped the bayonet, and ran into his father'slousi.--; '
At that time the dog was not attacking the defen-
dant's dog, but the two dogs were snarling at each
other. This case was corroborated by another 'wit-
ness, who was passinphy, and a third stated that- the i
defendant had told -him a fortnight before that he
would stab the plaintiff's dog with his bayonet. The
defendant was a memberof the St.James's Volunteers. 1
For the defendant, three witnesses were called, whO
stated that the dogs were quarelling, and that the
plaintiff's dog had thrown the other under him, and
lipid him by the throat.
Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, in summing up, spoke of the
conduct of the defendant with great indignation. He
muted, that when the circumstances of this case were
public, the Corps to which he belonged would take the Islan
ke DIED'
d of Jamaica, on the 12th of December Jan, aged
from him the bayonet which he was unworthy to Welt. 24, Mary, the wife of Henry Palmer, Esq. of Greenland Moun-
