It is - properly suggested to me that he could not have been in u temp r terquarrel. for he had been returning from a zharity concert, where his soul had been soothed to soft sounds, and melted to deeds of &a rfty. Mr. Bramall thought proper'w say to Mr. Wyche. in allusion 0 Mr. Thackear. " I don't care a d—n fo, you or your bully."

Mr. Thackeray sat beside Wyche, and began a whit. p ring. eenve:sation. Mr, Wyche refused to sign the paper. Mr. eiramall addressed him :--e" you are ad--d puppy ;.1 , 11 knock your head and your butty's together." He did not know what busty meant.

'Topping, in Me address to the jury, said, that no Court Cr jury wee ever insulted by a canse so frivolous, so perfectly ridicu lous. He clied upon them to discourage such applications for da mages, by giving their verdict for the defendant, or at host by give ing one farthing damages. Whether this gentleman was is the array or not, he knew not: it was not in proof before them. Verdict for the plaintiff: Damages One Farthing--Costs On e Farthing. Mt.
