bankrupt, and the assictiee4 under the Commission
'agreed to give op to Mr. White ill his household
limiter*, althorn any consideratinn. The Plaintiff,
who had a country house at Chiukford, in Ibis coon-
I", being pnavesv►d of a larger portion of household
property than his partner, the assignees agreed to
give it up In him, in cousiderateon of hit paying them
lOut. Through the friendly aid of a Mr. CoHinson
he raised that scam, and paid it I. the assignees, who
give him the receipt for it, and suffered him to re-
issue in the eaclasire po 'no of his furniture and
hous►hold goods at Chinkford. Subsequently to this
$ transaction some of the creditors who bad not been
raters to the agreement become dissatisfied, and In
the result they employed the Defendant, Mr. Adam-
son, en auctiusse►, who, with Itie assistants, the
other Defendants, west to the Plaitters house at
; Chinkford, broke it open, carried away every article
of furniture is the house, and sold it by oboists in
I Londnn. Under these circumstances the present

action was brought.
It was contended in defence-Ist, That by the
Bankrupt Laws all the property acquired bye bank-
rupt before he obtained • certificate, vested in his
assignees ; 2dly, that the trespass complained of in
this use arose ie consequence of the creditors, who
were no parties to the transaction above referred to,
discuseting that the Plaintiff was clandestin►ly car-
rying off his goods before the seizure took place, end
was endwise* to conceal his effects, and conse-
q•ently the trespass complained of was well jest'.
nevi; sod 3dly, that the agreement above mentioned
would net be binding upon any other creditors than
those rho became parties to it.
Evidence was offered on the part of the Defend-
ants for the purpose of shooing that the Plaintiff,
before the trespass complained of was committed,
had clandestinely concealed souse of his property, of
which his 'saving knew anything at the time the
agreement referred to was masted ; bat the esi.
dente on this point was by no means satisfactory.
Mr. Justice Nag charged the Jury, that thia se.
.ion was maintainable as well against the Defendants
■s the assignees. It was true, as a general principle,
that the property of a bankrupt acquired before his
certifies,* vested in his assignees, slid that an action
was net maintainable by a bankrupt against his as-
s•gneea ; bat it had been held that so action for work
and labour world lie by a bankrupt against any per-
son, although be bad not obtained his certificate.—
nder the peculiar circumstances of this case, be laid
it down as law, that the action was well brought;
beaten the assignees bad no right to seise the Plain•
titf's goods after they had, by special agreement, ac
cepted 1001. its lies thereof.
The Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found a
verdict for the Plaintiff—Mateyo 3181., being the
estimated value of the goods seised.

This was an action of assault sod buttery, alleged
to km been committed on the 10th of October last.

Mr. WALVOND the Dorrittlanl7.
It appeared, that both the parties were revertible
farmers resident in the neighbourhood of Colchester.
In the evening of the day mentioned in the declara-
tion, they met *together at an oyster-shop in Colches-
ter, for the purpose of refreshing themselves, and af-
ter talking over the turnip crops for the season, they
fell into a warm dispute, which, on the part of the
Defendant, was conducted with a great deal of low
and vulgar abuse and contradiction, which was ac-
companied by a smart blow with a riding stick on the
Plaintiff's head, which knocked off his hat, he being
at the time sitting in a chair, and being a mach older
man than the Defendant. The dispute subsided (Sr
a while, and was again renewed, end upon the
tiffs quitting the shop, the Deftedatit struck him •
scientific blow epos the left jaggier, which knocked
him down. In consequence of the fall, it appeared,
