him on the body of the plaintiff. The
plaintiff is a young man of '23 or 3%
years of age. The facts as they appeared
from the evidence were briefly these.——
About two years since, the plaintiffcalled,
one Sunday evening, at the house of the
the defendant, where he found a young
married lady, Mrs.'Hawes, and the daugh-
About 9 o’clock,the
defendant, who had previously retired to
rest, arose and came into the room, where
the young people were, ordered his daugh.
ter to go to bed, and, at the same time di-
recting the plaintiffto leave the house, as
it was getting late, and tellinghim that he
(the defendant) liked tolbe the master of
his own house. The plaintiff not comply-
ing immediately with this polite request
of’ the defendant, the di fondant opened
the door, took the phiintiffby the collar of
his coat, and marched him into the street
—and it was for this assault that the ac-
tion was brought. The defendant conten-
ded that the plaintiff was creating, at the
time of the alledged assault,a disturbance
in the house, and that lie refused to go
when requested by the defendant. Ver-
dict for plaintiff $100 and costs.

Izfodge, &c. vs. Birilsall, &c.—-This was
an action of Trover for the recovery of
the value of fifty eight turkeys, which the
plaintiffs ' claimed had strayed about
two years since from their flock into
the flock of the defendants. A great mass
of testimony was introduced on both sides,
to support and rebut the claims of the
ntiffs. The plaintiffs case was prin-
cipally made up of the admissions of the
defendant’s that they had the turkeys, and
the defendants relied on the admissions of
the plaintiffs, that they had found all the
turkeys which they had lost, to sustain
their defence. Verdict for defendants to
recover their costs. .

House of 41 \Vhigs, 34 Locos-—giving cig/it
\I/big majority in joint ballot. (Probably ex-

lasting “go-bye," or whether it is only taking 11
