CAUNCE U. HONE.
Mr. 'SetiLET, 'Counsel fie the Pialptit, dc.
scribed the nature of this assault.. It was One
which was aggiavated, nut by the violence with
which it was attended, but b the place in which
it was committed. -111auy of the trials for assaults
which had occurred in the Course of the Assizes,
had originated in public-house quarrels, and,
therefore, the Jury had, justly marked their re.
prehension of them, by limiting the damages to
the lowest denomination of the current coin. •In
the present instance, he trusted the Jury, though
the personal injury was tritlingt would mark their
disapprobation of the Defendant's conduc', by
giving exemplary damages. The piece in which
the assault. he question occurred, was one sacred,
by its being consecrated to public divine worship;
it was a Chapel, called Douglas Chapel, iq the
township of Pabult, io the county of Lancaster;
the Plaintiff, an ifiliabitaut. of the townshipl hail
been for upwards of 30 years in the Constant ha.
bit uf attending Douglas Chapel, and occupying
a particular pew; on the Sunday, when the as.
sault in question took place, he had gone there
is usual ; shortly after the Defendant entered the
Chapel, and came towards the same pew ; the
Plaintiff civilly and courteously opened the door
to admit him, when the Defendant insisted on
-dragging him out, and, if executiun of his par.
.pose, violently assaulted him, and, in the act 'of
pulling 'him out of the pew, fractured his shins;
the officiating Clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Johnson,
was just coming up the aisle, and, of coarse, be
inquired into the cause of the tumult ; upon lielise
informed, he reprimanded the Defendant, *ho
not only justified what he had done, but, in. the
coarsest language, expressed his determination to
repeat it.
The first witness called gave but an indistinct
account of the transaction ; and, on his cross.'
'examination, he said, the PlAintiff
,had ad:noo-
k:deed to him, that the action was carried ou With-
out his consent. •
Mr. Johnson, the respectable Clergyman of the
Chapel, stated, that, on the Sunday the assault
took place, ho was advancing up the middle aisle,
when he observed the congregation all standing up,
end sown noticed Mr. Monk in the act of forcing
the Plaintiff out of the pew ; he sent for Mr.
Monk into the vestry, and represented to him the
probable consequences of his violent end illegal
conduct ; the Defendant replied, that he was in.
deinuified by 'Squire Jones, that he would turn
the Plaintiff out of the poi on every subs. Tient
Sunday, and kick his backside. The enrols re.
I fenestrated with him, but the Defendant said, that
Mr. Jones w held keep him harmless.
Air. PARK maintained, that this was an action
as frivolous as.any that bad been tried.. lie pro.
nuanced a just panegyric upon kis yen tolerant
principles in mattors!•of religion, and ,expressed
Oven his veneration for those who. deviated from
the faith to which •he was attached; but, in the
present case, he considered that the Minister of
Douglas Chapel hail nut acted as the apostle of
peade;' but had fomented a dispute, which, with.
out his interference, would never have been brought
into Cowl. The Learned Counsel was, in the
course of his address, extremely severe in his re-
marks upon Dr. Johnson, the preacher at Doug.
las Chieel.
Dr. Joitesom interrupted him,, and expressed
great iiiilignaliOn'-at the manner in which the
Learned Counsel, had Observed upon his conduct.
lie said, that the sacred charaiter he held was not
to be trifled with or aspersed by the flippant ob-
servations of a Barrister, however high ho might
think of his own importance. Ho stated, that,
eotice:ving his parishioner to have been ail treated,
he had applied to the Bishop of Chester to grant
hiM a faculty confirming his right to the pew,
Which he hail enjoyed fur 30 years, and that he
had thought it his duty to afford lira all the pro.
ttction in his power.
SeAnLiT observed, that it had. been . re.'
markei4 near 2000.years'age, with reference to ,
an orator who had undertaken abed cause, Nemo
inventns est pricier dintoniuns. He was sur.
prised that, considering the religlous turn of mind'
of Learned Friend, no one should .have been
I found to advocate thi•propriety of an assault com.

' The Learned SeDGE, after taking an .impartial
view of all the circumstances,: was Of opinion,
upon the whole, that it was net the sort of action
which ought to be encouraged by a Court of Law.
He considered nail It would fall, with-more pro-
priety, within the scope of an ecelesiattical juris.
