hoes. of the defendant without any concealment, and in
the usual way. He did not think in such a case. that
the plaintiff was bound to prove the knowledge of the
defendant.
Mr. Scaeterr then addressed the Jary. He bad often

any other man. There was in this bill—sine shawls In
the course of a summer; and if the Jar y would say. that
be such things were necessary, it would impossible for
any tradesman who had a wife to say that his property
was safe. The Learned Counsel thee recited several ar-
ticles in the account, such as French kid gloves, satin.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WI

MONK r. RILL aNDANOTIBER.
This was an action to recover damages fees the rlw
fendants for an assault upon the plaintiff, a poor old
watchman, by which his thigh bone was 'Kokes. The
defendants, Mr. Hill, a grocer, and Mr. Gregg, a linen-
draper. had been passing the evening together with two
other friends, on Thrtrolay, the 15th of November. On
their way home, at ball-past one in the morning, the de-
fendants were making some noise at the corner of Char.
lose-street, Tottenham-court-read, epos which the
plaintiff interposed, as be conceived this duty to do; in
consequence of which he was assaulted, and in a fall or.
casioned by a posh from the defendant Hill, had his
thigh-bone fractured. Mr. Hill had since behaved with
kindness to the plaintiff, and admitting that he was en.
titled to compensation for the serious injury I. bad sus-
tained, suffered judgment to go by default.
The other defendant pleaded not guilty, and contend-
ed that the plaintiff's misfortune had sot bees occasion-
ell hr any act of hie.
After the examination of several wi
The LORD Cater JCITICZ summed ap the 'siderite to
the Jury, and observed, that if persons in the Swaths*
of the plaintiff conducted themselves peoperly,• they
ought to be protected ; otherwise, what wan to bans*
of our houses, one properties, or ooriehree? With re-
spect to the conduct of the two defendants, 'however
blameable that of Hill might have been, en the eight
in question, he had evinced a disposition to make every
atonement In his power to the injured man. Not so the
defendant Gregg, who contended that be bad been in es
way guilty upon this unfortunate occasion t although,
as appeared to him, (the Leateed Judge) from the evi-
dence, lie had bees the more guilty of the tiro. • He was
certainly described as having condected himself with
more violence than the other. But that was a guides.
upon which the Joey alone were to determine. lf, hew•
ever. they were of opinion that both were platy, he re-
gretted that they could not divide and apportion their
damages, but must Sofia joint verdict maths both.
After i few moments' sletiberat4s. the Jary teamed
a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, MI.
