COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE IJ. LE"W!S Vi AICOCK. ,Mr. Garrow dated this to be an action brought for damages for a violent aflault committed'on the plaintiff by Mr. Alcock, upon the huttings, at the late election for the borough of Southwark, where he had acted ns agent for Mr. Tierney , and, at I he was then in Court, the Jury perceive, from bulk and strength, that be was a person oVer whom the plaintiff could have but lit tle chance of faccefs, if. he had made any lefilt- • 1 auce. 1 The immediate confluence of this attack made f by the friend of the popular candidate was, that ' the mb called out to have Mr. Lewis th.row(i down from the huttings among them. .Tile jury ought, therefore, by the damages they (hould give, todif > countenance any proceedings at an tivtg in this free country mud be done awav, if un 1 qualified men, who thus intermeddled in elections 1 were not exchlded. He cotild not deny that an as fault had been committed, according to law ; but > it . was of such a nature, add ""attended with such 1 circumttances, that he trusted not more than one (hilling damages would be given. Aftei two or three words from Lord Kenyon, the jury retired, and remained deliberating for a cijofiderable time: at length they gave a vevdift i for the plaintiff damages ONE SHILLING. ; June 17. GOObCHILB V. rit-tiTOH. 1 This action was brought by the plaintiff, \vho ■ lives at Walton-upon-Thames, to recover ithe sum i of- iool. Mr. Garrow, who opened this Cafe, observed, he had been informed the defendant was a mer chant of the city of -London, thbogh he could hardly believe it. The ctrcumflaUces of the cafe wete fingiilar, and such as, for the honor e>( thevity of London, were seldom heard of in Guildhall. In confluence of some previous acquaintance the plaintiff one day called upon the defendant and found him very much out of fpiritv He enquired the can ft; of it. Mr. Preflon told him he had t been disappointed. The comrtiiflioners of the ex cise had refufed topay him for fome'rum, and un. less he could r:ife 200!. in thecourfedf that clay, be was afiaid he {hould be ruined. Upon' that, the pUiatiff took a piece of paper and immediately give him 2 Jtaft upon his bankers for the fan of r \ jool- This money was '<&> be returned m the ip::CL of fix week). The defendant was fu (truck tfith - that asor generality, that he infixed he mic-htbe i •vj # ;itted to give Mr. Gondchild fame fccurity for the re-payflient of it. The plaintiff ioid him he > wanted no security, and if lie did not thi .k bun s - man of honour, on wbofevrord lie could fafely re- < Iv, he would not trust him on his bond. When i the fix weeks had elapsed, the plaintiff called on the defendant for his money. Mr. Preston .told him i it was inconvenieat at that time to pay it ; but ! prosnifed'over and over again te pay it. A< la«, . however, to the utter astonishment of the plaintiff, Mr. Preston had the boldness to tell him he had ( neyer lent him any mo'iey ; that he had never been I hit creditor for a farthingi and that he wouL not pay him. . The learned cotmfel ohferved, if he fore this cause i Was brought, the defendant had any charaftfir that was of to him, he would footi fee wheiher he had made a pood bargain in this cafe, by endea vouring to fhift off the payment cf tins.ffloney. The draft was paid by the plaintiff's bankers. ■ He fair*, he (hould lay such a body of evidence be- i fdre the juty, that if it were a fjueftion, whether ( Mr. Preston had dole that draft which he had re- ! eefved from the plaintiff, and were to be fubje&ed i to a capital ptlviiflnnent for the Sealing of it, he < coulc! have no possible defence. He should prove < thnt draft was paid to the defendant by the piain- j tiff's bankers On the day on which it was dated —- t He.(hould (hew by what bank note they had paid J it. He Ihould (hew that that bank note, on the fame day, was carried to Mr. Prefto'i's baiiker ; ( and he should tfiat" it came into his bank- | er's hands through his (Mr. Prettoir's) hands that day. If necessary, he colild identify that bank note still farther. j This was as gross an inltance of ingratitude as ( ever appeared in a Court of Justice. There Was j also a bill in Chancery on this bufisefs, but the j defendant fvvore through it. One of ;he clerks of Messrs. Langfton and Co. (aid Mr. Goodchild kept money at their house ; 1 and that on the 30th of O&oSer, 1794, they paid : the plaintiff's draft with the bank note 7°4> ' dated O&ober 20th, 1794. The draft was here read, and was in tbefe words: " London, Odto- ; b?r 30th, 1794, pay Mr. Thomas-Preiton or bear. 1 er two nundied poilnds." « I One of the clerks of Messrs. Prefcot and Co. j find Mr. Preston kept money at their house ; that ( in the afternoon of O&ober 30, J 794, they re» ] ceived through the hands of the defendant, the 1 bank-note Na. 704. The learned edunfel was pro- 1 ceeding Aill farther in his proof, when the noble | and learned judge aiked what answer was to be • given to this cafe ? 1 Mr. Mingay, counsel for the defendant, said he < had no witness.

EDWARD GIBBON, ES<^ THIS great hidorian, descended from an anci- , ent family in the wilds of Kent, was born at Put- J ney in Surry, on the Bth of May, 1737. His in fancy was marked by great coiporeal weakness and j infirmity ; but an attachment to arithmetick, at a very early period, which rendered him capable cf multiplying and dividing two ferns of fevtral figures ' by memory alone, seems to have,denoted a vigorous ' mind. His education was partly received at home, partly at Bath, and other places, where he resided for the reftoraiion of his health, and partly at Weft, mii>fter. In April 175 2, he went to Oxford, where he remained but a Ihort time, in consequence I of his having embraced the Roman CathtJic reli- ( gion. He was now sent to Lausanne, in Switaer- ] land , where, under the t'uition of Mr. Pavllliard, a Calvinift minister, he was not only made a*good claCical scholar, but teftored to the Protestant faith. To this bani(hment, Mr. Gibbaa acknowledges that he owed whatever has been the fruits of his education. He returned to his falher, who was now retired to his feat at Buriton, Hants, in 1758 ; and was received with every mark of parental af fection. After tefiding at home about five years, during which time he became a captain "of the Hampshire militia, his father heing major, he a gain vifcted the continent, and made Hie tour of France and Italy. It was while he fat contem plating amidst the ruins of the capital of Rome, on the evening of the 15th of Oitober, that that the idea of writing the Decline and Fall of that city, firft started to his tnind. More mature deliberation extended it to the Fall of the Roman 1 Empire, which he has so nobly completed in his fix ' volumes, 4he three last of which Were publifted on ' 1 the 5 tft aOniverfaFy of his birth-day, May, 1783. , Tlie greater part of this wojk was completed dur- ! ing a retirement of some.years in Switzerland, after f the abolition of*lhe Board of Tt*de, of wliich'M;.
