Jllessrs, Gales g Ssaton,
Observing in ore of yeur papers few
days ago, an anacdote of Messrs. d. &
+. two Ls~ yers of one of our southern
states, was a little disappointed at not
finding the equally good part OF it re-
lated.
The insult that gave rise to the anec'
dote alluded to, arose in open court, IN
the discussion OF a case Of an assault q
battery, in which Mir. D. & Mr.. T were
employed opposite each other. Mr.. T
after some remarks observed, when Mr.
,. had done speaking, that from what Mir
.. had said the court and jury could bul
agree with him in-opinion. that Mr.. d.
vas wholly ignorant of the nature of an
assault and battery; upon which slr. d.
<ose, and in reply spit in the face of Mr.,
!. and said, sir, that is what | call an
qssnult. and then with his hand knock ed
im down, and said, sir, that is what
understand to be BATTERY. Mir. I. re.
sovering himself, answered. that Mr.. DE-
!, gulnent was too knocking-dawn ain one
for him to oppose but with shot.
