Bassett.
This case was soon disposed of.
Sir Charles Bassett was dignified and calm in the witness-box, and treated the whole matter with high-bred nonchalance, as one unworthy of the attention the Court was good enough to bestow on it.

The judge disapproved the assault, but said the plaintiff had drawn it on himself by unprofessional conduct, and by threatening a gentleman in his own house.

Verdict for the plaintiff--40s.

The judge refused to certify for costs.
Lady Bassett, her throat parched with excitement, drove home, and awaited her husband's return with no little anxiety.

As soon as she heard him in his dressing-room she glided in and went down on her knees to him.
