Trespass for assault aud battery commit
ted by defendant on plaintiff, on the 2lst
day of September, A. D. 1860, at GloV-
err. The proof was that the defendant
called upon the plaintiff to procure GER
tain letter which had been left before !
that time at the plaintiffs door, and sign
ed anonymously which letter the PLAIN
tiff had said he thought was in the hand
writing of the defendants brother The
plaintiff refused to deliver the letter. and
the defendant threatened to thrash the
floor with him if be did not, and there
upon took him by the collar, and after
considerable talk and letting go and
taking hold again On the part OF the de-
PENDANT, during which time the defendant
asked the plaitiff-he being a minister
to pray, and the plaintiff replying that
such a request showed his inidel princi-
piles, the defendant struck the plaintiff and
crowded him on to the forget being in
blacksmiths shop--whereby the plain
| tiff S side was injured and he was made
lame for some time.
The Court charged the jury that they
should consider the case and give the
plaintiff his actual damages, and if they
thought the act of the defendants wanton
r and malicious and unproyoked, they might
return such verdict for exemplary dam
ages as they thought just The Court told
the jury, moreover, that upon the evil
dence, the only question in the case was
that of damages, the defendants liability
being clear and certain.
