Mr Joy ap£>S!-red for plaintiff and Mr Madden for: defendant. Lewis Kelly;, the keeper of dining rooms, was charged' with using threatening language towards Charles K'Russell, the keener of ah opposition eating, house. Charles N. Ru ssbll deposed that Ke knew the defendant, wlio; several times, and parti cularly on, the 24th December... had used insulting language.to .hiny and prosacutqjf .believed that Kelly was drimk oil the night m question when he tlireatehed to break .his head, to whichlie'bbje'cte'd', hehcehfe sOtight the protection of the Court that' defendant's threats might not be carried into execution. ■ -William Hayward, Russell's cook, corrobo rated most of the, statements of his young master, and said that. Kelly made, use of bad language,- shook.his fist;in" plaintiff's face, and made awful faces at him. '

The defence wa's*that Paissell had sent men to his opponent's shop a*fid'tried to1 get his customers away ; and he himself. had: put his fingers to his nose in a contemptuous manner j and excited hinv to wrath, qr he would not have 'ventured nea,r Russell's shop. j Edward Burke ' was called ''■; * but knew nothing of the immediate cause.of dispute... j His Worship considered .that the cook's statement' was worthy :of some credit, as cooks, he believed, were the most independent class of men in the colony. ; If young Mr, Russell did provoke the defendant in the way described he ought to be subjected to a good; whipping. . The defendant must.find securities; to keep the peace' for three months', himself in £10, arid two securities "of £5. This concluded the business:
