He said that, as he returning from the race, at

Mr.. Stanly Mr. Stanly was in advance of Mr.. Wise
several PAGES. MIR. Wise role up parallel to him
and gazed at him sterny this continued some fifteen
or twenty yards, when Col. Starke rode up beside
MIR Wise, and they rode past MIR. Stanly, and were
some yards ahead of Mr. Stanly when they passed
through the outer gate. After passing through that
gate, MIR. Stany rode up briskly and jostled Mr.
Wise on his horse. Dir. Wise then rode upon him
and struck him with small black cane. He heard
nothing of what was said by either party.
In answer to question from the Court, whether
he thought Mr. Stanly rode against Mr.. Wise by ac-
cident or design he said he bound to say, from
the circumstances that he believed Mr. Stanly rode
against Mr. Wise Intentionally. The horse of Mr.
Stany did not seem to shy or be unruly, but walked
