• COURT OF KING'S BENCEl.—TMastrait, $lO4-8.
mienzasoN o. LOVID.
This cue of breach of promise of marriage was set•
down the first thinq this morning, but Mr.Ni'alford on -
coming into Court, intimated that it was requeeted the •
trial might stand over, as the patties were not ready to
goon with it.
CURTIS C. ratan:, anorak AND °THAR/. •
This was an action brought by the elaiotitf, who is a
shoemaker residingin Hosier lane, Smithfield, to recover
compensation by damages for tbe injury he had ssistaioed
in consequence of the defendants' forcibly entering his
house, ill treating him, and seizing his goods for rent
alleged to be doe to the defendant Fairfax. The defend-
ants pleaded a justification, excepting Shute,: who was
a constable, and he pleaded the genteel issue.
The plaintiff's Counsel were, the Souctroatismanaa
and Mr. Aaaartale. The defeodaate were the Cesium,
Saimaa:yr, Mr. BROUGNAM, Mr. TYNDALL. and Mr.
WILDS.
• On behalf of the plaintiff, it appeared that be bad been
a tenant of the house in question six or seven years ; that
he bad been in the habit of paying his rent to the Re-
aim of Rents for St. Bartholomew's Hospital, to
which the house was belonging, and that on the 13d
of last December, the defendants entered his dwelling
and ill-treated him, and his wife (who had since died,)
and his son, a boy of about 12 years of age ; that they.
succeeded in carrying off all his household furniture, for
the alleged rent • and that he had never bad either the
money or his goods restored to him again.
For the defendants, it was proved- that Fairfax, who
was the landlord of the Hone and Groom public-house,
situated in the same lane, and also belonging to the Hos-
pital, bad agreed with the plaintiff for the house which
he inhabited, until the public-house should be rebuilt;
and that the plaintiff was to give bs. a week for some
rooms which he there occupied ; and that when the rent
became due, a ierson named Hart was employed by &-
broker, at the defendant Fairfax's instance, to seize the
plaintiff's goods. Hart accordingly repaired to the house
in question, and obtained peaceable entry; however, be
had no sooner got into the house. and exhibited his att-•
tbority, when the plaintiff began to beat him across, the
l'back and shoulders with a boot-tree, which waslying.
upon hie stall. Hart finding himself roughly treated,
cried out for assistance, and Skater, a constable, with the
other defendants, bearing the cry, ran to his aid. They
had no sooner entered, than the plaintiff commenced the•
same &twit upon them as he did upon' Hert: however,.
they soon secured the plaintiff and carried off the goods.
In addition to this, the plaintiff was proved to have ad-
mitted that be was Indebted to Fairfax for rent; bat that
he would not pay him, and he alleged as a reason that
Fairfax was in good circumstances, and could better af-
ford to lose it than fie could to pay. It was Asp shown
that the plaintiff, in October, had said, he bad endeavour.
ed to procure a place for his family at Islington, but had
not succeeded, and that he was greatly obliged by Fair-
fax suffering him to remain in the hones at so reasonable
a rats after he became the tenant.
The Lorin Came JUSTICE, in summing up, told the Jury
that the only question for their consideration was, abettor
the plaintiff had become the tenant of. Fairfax or sot. if
they were satisfied he had; then their verdict would be for
the defendants, as it seemed, even from the plaintiffs own
witness, that be had committed the first assault upon the
person who bad called In the constable and other defen-
dants to his assistance. But if they /*Woad the plaintiff
was not a tenant of Fairfax's, then their verdict roust be for
the plaintiff, and their next consideration would be the
amount of the damages. Supposing the defendants, had im-
properly entered the house, they bad been guilty of a con-
siderable outrage, and the Jary would decide what damages
would compensate the ?Wolff for the loss of his goods; and
the injury be bad sustaioed therefrom.
The Jury deliberated a short time, and then found a ver-
dict for the plaintiff. —Damages, Zit.
