Geange having attacked Henry Steill, (with whom he had a depending process) and his son and four servants, and given him a box on the ear and beat off his hat and wig, on a dispute about some cartfuls of dung, which Steill resented no further than by holding Grange fast till he cooled; the Lords on a summary complaint of battery pendente processu assoilzied Grange because of his known circumstances, that he was little better than an idiot;—as for the same cause they refused the like complaint against him in summer 1741, where indeed there seemed to be something like a snare laid for them.
