VERDICT AGAINST 4 JOCKEY.
MUST PAY $3.50 FOR STRIKING A SPECTATOR AT
MORRIS PARK

H Bolony of Brooklyn obtained verdict Of
S2O as damages for assault against the Jockey
Alonzo Clayton, known "Lonny' Clayton on the
turf, in the Supreme Court in BROOKLYN last
Wednesday. The plaintiff sued for $4,000. The as
sault occurred at Morris Park on October a.
1873. Clayton struck BoOny with his whip IN
ficting a severe wound just above one eye 1t
was alleged by the plaintiff that the blow affected
his eyeslght
Bolony alleged that the assault was unprovoked
Clayton's defence that the blow was an &C
cident. The jockey said that he was riding the
horse Warrenton. The horse was unfit and did
not run well The crowd was angry. On his way
back from the judges stand after weighing out ne
heard some one in the crowd call him an insulting
name. Turning, he Bolony about to strike
him. Raising his arms to ward off the expected
blow, the whip which he carried in his right hand
accidentally struck Boony in the face In rebuttal
the plaintif said that he did not utter a word and
had no occasion to do so, as he had bet Sailor
King, and that horse won. He thought one
in the crowd might have said something which
Clayton overheard in passing, and which provoked
him to strike with his whip
II was the opinion of many who the races at
Morris Park that day that Warrenton badly
ridden. No intelligent person believes that Clay
tons version of the matter correct. The jury
would not have given Bolony a verdict for 81 $50
If they had thought Clayton told the truth. Clay
