SUPREME COURT.

This Day.

Civil Sittings.

(Before Mr Justice Gilließi)

Howard v. Ghorge Hulmk.—Claim, £100 for damages. Dr. Laishley, instructed by Mr J. A. Beale,. appeared for the plaintiff* and Mr W. J. Napier for the defence.— James Eagan, cab driver, deposed that on the 29th of July, between 7 and 8 O'clock in the eveningjbewas with Messrs Duncan.Robert eon, Sam. Welsh, and Alf. Neill standing arainst the verandah post beside the shop of ifr G. Hulnic, butcher, Queen-street. He saw young Howard walking down towards the wharf at a pretty fnefc ftacOi Ho was swinging bis hands, and as he passed Mr I'iultnc's shop ho knocked clown one of the dressed fowls which were hanging over the counter fronting the street. It was done accidentally. After walking about two yards Howard went Upon his knees. Witness .saw Mr Hulme come out of his shop and hit Howard without speaking to him. The blow was deliveied at the back of the ear by Mr Hulme's tint. Howard was then knocked over on to his buck, and lay there apparently seneeleas, After a few minutes Kobinson wont to pick Howard up. Hulme had then gone back to the door of the shop. Witness said, " Don't pick him up ; let Mr Hulme pick him up." Mr Hulmo then came out and helped Robertson to pick up Howard. They stood Howard against the Verandah post, and after a few minutes Robinson and Hulmo took him to the chemist's shop. Howard was able to move his legs, and that waa about all. Aftor a bit Dr. Torment arrived. Mr Hulme sent for him. Dr. Torment, after examining the man, said that he was afraid of concussion of tho brain. Mr Hulme saul, " Good God ! I don't want to be had up for killing the man." Subse quently witness accompanied Howard homo In a cab. At that time How ard could not open his mouth, knew nothing, and could not speak.— Duncan Robertson ami Snmlicl Walsh gave evidence corroborating that of the pre vious witnesses. Dr. G. Tenncnt deposed to being called in to attend Howard. He examined him carefully and found his pulse very feeble and flurtering.hia pupils dilated, insensible to the light, face pale and Cold, extremities limber (llaocid) ; patient had vomited, was retching,liad fuintness,stupor, and was insensible. Witness prescribed for him, a cab was procured and he was taken home. Witness instructed his friends and tho policeman who had accompanied tho cab to have him undressed, put to bed, wrapped up in wot >blanketu and prevented from going to :-lee Jor two or three hours. Witness saw no "symptoms of catalepsy present at that time. If he had been suii'er ing from catalepsy, he would have expected to have found tho body in asbato of rigidity. Such a blow ns that described would have a greater ellect on a person of rt'oak intel lect.- -Dr. Lewie deposed to being called in to attend to James Howard. He found him apparently Buffering from what appeared to bo a cataleptic seizure. Ho saw no signs of concussion of the brain. .Such a state might havo resulted after a slight ooncus- I Mvii of tho brain. Witness thought that I his state was the result of self abuse.—Dr. C. N. Cobbott deposed to attending to Howard at the HospiUl in his capacity of one of tho hon. medical staff. A blow liko that described might, in a state of nervous exhaustion, precipitate insanity. Such a blow could not alone have brought the patient to such a condition. —Dr. J. C. McMnllfin deposed to examining Howard, and giving a certificate for hi« removal to tho A vondalo Lunatic Asylum. If a person had a predisposition toinsanityandchronio disease of the brain, in such a ca.se a blow would bo less likely to befollowcdbyevil consequences —James Howard, carter, residing in Loch etreet, deposed that he was the father of the plaintiff,who was just turned 21. He rememboied the 29th of last July. Prior to the assault the lacl was earning £1 per week at Mr J. C. Firth's, Mount Eden. Bofore the 29th of July he had never known his son to havo a fit or bo in a similar condition to that in which he was subsequent to that date. His son was now in tho Lunatic Asylum. Witness went to Mr Hulme and offered to take no further stops if he would pay him £20. Mr Hulme said that he would see his lawyer about it. -By Mr Napier s For three weeks before the 29th of July his son ! could not give an intelligible answer. In I fact ho know that his son was becoming I insane, and had made up his mind to put him in the Asylum, lor many months previous his son's mind had been going wrong. Mr Firth had only em ployed the lad at Mount Eden in order to give him a chance of getting better in the fresh air. Hie eon was liber ated from the Asylum a fortnight ago and witness had since taken him back again.— This concluded the case for the prosecution. His Honor pointed out that they had abso lutely no evidence to show that the plaintiffs present condition was the direct and immediate result of the blow dealt by the defendant.—Mr Napier pointed out that under the New Zealand law they could not admit the simple assault and plead and pay into Court. That position had been taken up by Mr Justice Richmond in the case of McDougall v. the Gear Preserving Com pany under rule 212.—His Honor said that they were trying in that case two inconsis tant points. In one case they admitted the cause and in tho next denied tho results.— George Hulme, the defendant, deposed to seeing the plaintiff passing his shop on the night in question. He caught hold of the head of a dressed fowl and pulled it off". Witness ran down the street after thcplain tiff, who fell, down on his knees. Witness gave him a slight blow and a push which caused him to roll over on the footpath. A few-minutes after witness picked Howard up and set him up against the verand'a-h post. Howard, then seemed to stiffen out as if he was eohig to have' a tit. Wit ness and another young fellow took him across the road to a chemist's shop. A doctor was called and the man was sent home in a cab.—Mr George Goldie Sani tary Inspector deposed to seeing the plaintiff fallontho tram lines on the afternoon of the 29th of July. Dr. Dawson deposed to attending to tho plaintiff on that occasion, He testified as to the state of Howard* mind at the time. Constable Donovan deposed to taking him in charge on tho 29th of July, think ing him insane, and Constable McConnel lockup-keeper at Auckland, deposed to tho prisoner being brought, in. He was in a dazed state. He remembered him being brought in again on the 20th of August.— Dr. John Creinonini, Medical Superinten dent of the Avondale Lunatic Asylum, de posed that the plaintiff was admitted to the institution on the 20th of August. He was suffering from dementia and was emaciated. This closed the case for defence. Mr Napier contended that under the cir cumstances the damages should bo merely nominal, as Mr Hulme had done all in his power, having paid tho doc tor, and also paid for the cab. — Dr. Laishley held that it was a monstrous con tention ; that a man might commit a violent assault without being held responsible for the consequences. — His Honor said that it was clear that there must be judgment for the plaintiff, as the assault had been admitted. In tho present case it was evident that the fowl had been knocked over uninten tionally, and that certainly that was not sufficent justification or mitigation for striking the blow, which was no doubt theresulfcof the defendant's temper getting the better of him. . With regard to the amount of compensation, he thought it •was evident that the insanity was not the result of the assault. The blow only

accounted for the slight concussion observable shortly after the blow was struck. Hβ thought that £5 damages would be sufficient under the circum stances. Costs were allowed.
