a. P
purchased one underwear at D’s store. D thought she took two, but only paid for
one (stole one).
b. D
ran after P, snatched her bag from under her arm, and inspected it to
find he was wrong.
i.
“The authorities are agreed that, to
constitute an assault or battery, it is not necessary to touch the plaintiff’s
body or even his clothing; knocking or snatching anything from P’s hand or
touching anything connected with his person, when done in a rude or insolent
manner, is sufficient.”
c. Liable,
even though actual contact did not occur.
d. The
context of the D makes a difference (outside in public v. a store)
