In this case, in which Andrew Knox, quarryman, residing at New Monkland Poorhouse, in the county of Lanark, is pursuer; and John Macarthur, parochial schoolmaster at New Monkland, and residing there, in the said county, is defender, the following is the issue—It being admitted that the pursuer was, on or about the 13th of September 1864, an inmate of the poorhouse of New Monkland, in the county of Lanark, and that the defender was, at the date mentioned, a member of the Visiting Committee of said poorhouse:
“Whether, on or about the 13th September 1864, within the said poorhouse of New Monkland, the defender did attack and assault the pursuer—to his loss, injury, and damage?”
Damages laid at £250.
