YORK ASSIZES.-WEDNESDAY, JULY 20.

MELLIN v. TA Y1.0R.-C12151. CON.
The particulars of this case, as many of our readers will pro-
bably remember, were brought before the public at the last as-
sizes for this county. Upon this occasion a verdict for the defend-
ant was returned; but a new trial has been since obtained, upon
the ground that the decision of the jury was contrary to the
main body of the evidence.
Sir F. Pollock, who had come down under a special retainer,
conducted the case for the plaintiff, and was assisted by Mr.
Wightman and Mr. Blanshard ; Mr. Creswell and Mr. Alexander
appeared for the defendant. •
The details of the evidence for the plaintiff occupied the court
nearly two days, and the remainder of the second day and Fri-
day was occupied with the defence.
The Jury letired about twenty minutes past eight o'clock on
Friday night, and returned into court at a quarter to nine.
with a verdict for the plaintiff damages, one thousan!
pounds.

This case has excited great interest throughout Yorkshire
both parties being well known in the west riding, and of the first
rspectability. The verdict has given general satisfaction.
