Tuns told his story in the following plain add simple language : " This little man, your Worship, has lived in my house in Pan. ton-street, Haymarket, for about seven months; he was with out a friend in the world, and so I took him in, and told him that he never should want while he stopped with me. He is a poor harmless creature, your Worship, and I lets him do just as he likes. Sometimes he carries beer into the parlour when my son is from home, and on Sunday arternoon, your Worship, a cowardly fellow named Becket came with his boy, a lad about ten years of age, into my house, and while I was out, what does lie do, but sets his lad tonsil this poor little man, merely for the purpose of being able to brag that his lad had thrashed a man forty years of age !" The Magistrate asked tf the little dwarf was so years of age' Hauptman replied—" lam 40 years old, and 40 inches high." Cribb said that his little friend Hauptman was a German, and ha/ been brought to this country to be made a show of, but did net like it. Magistrate.—What injury has he sustained ? Cribb.—His mouth is disfigured, his lips are cut, and Becket held his lad, while he struck Hauptman repeatedly in the face. Magistrate.-. 4 am glad to see you, Mr. Cribb, a champion in so good a cause. Cribb.—Why, your Worship, I had rather he would have struck me, than that poor fellow should have been used so very cruelly. The Magistrate ordered a warrant to be issued against Becket for the assault, and applauded Tom for his humanity. Yesterday Becket was brought to the Office, and Cribb attended, " The poor little fellow (said the Champion) has no friend in the world but me, your Worship, and, hang it if I would not rather have been beat myself." " That would not have been so easy a matter, Mr. Cribb," observed his Worship,and directed the dwatf to be sworn. The littie fellow then gave a very humble and modest account of the affair. He said. in tolerable English, that he was very sorry anybody should be troubled on his account ; but Mr. Becket would not be satisfied unless he would fight with the bey, and because he would not, he urged the boy on till he knocked him down by a blow on de meta, which cut him oar moth, and hurt him a good deal. The lad said, he merely pulled out his shirt frill, and the father delivered his defence thus:—" It was the brandy and water that did it, your Worship ; 11l tell the truth i—it was the brandy and water, sure enough. I have known Mr. Cribb many years." " And that's one reason you ought not to have taken advantage of my absence, to insult a poor little fellow you knew I cared so much for," observed the Champion. The Magistrate, after having warmly commended the conduct of both the Champion and dwarf, directed Becket to find bail fbr the assault. LAIN Houas.—Several publicans were convicted in penalties for keeping their houses open after eleven o'clock in the evening. GAMILISS.-.-LZPATOUTIML O. BATACLIA.--111IS was a proceed ingsunder a peace warrant, issued at the suit of Miss Anne Lepa tourel, an interesting young Frenchwoman, carrying on the busi ness of a fruitress, in Broad-street, Bloom sbury, against one Mr. Bataglia, a manufacturer of rotdetee and rouge et wit tables, and all that sort of thing; and the squabble between the parties seems to have arisen out of some late gambling convictions. Miss Lepatourel stated, that on her return from Covent- Garden market, the other morning, she found Mr. Bataglia and marker gentleman, writing in her boudoir. The circum stance surprised her very much, and she demanded to know their business there. Whereupon Mr. Bataglia told her he was come in search of Mr. de Guerri, who owed hint much money, and he would see him instantly—in one moment.— She assured him Mr. de Guerd was not in her house; but he would not believe her; and insisted on her producing him with out the loss of one single minute. In this manner he and the other gentleman continued to insist and abuse her—calling her by many insulting epithets, and storming so that the people in the streets could hear them, for nearly half an hour; and then Mr. Bataglia went away, leaving the other gentleman in the house. Several other persons came in the course of the day, and kept the house in terror and alarm till the evening, when they all departed, threatening her with a repetition of their visits. On the following morning, the house and shop was beset by persons who represented themselves as officers in search of. Mr. de Guerri; and they conducted themselves in such a manner as to attract crowds of people round the door; to the great hin drance of her business, and the disparagement of her character in dui neighbourhood. During four whole days they continued this annoyance, and at last, by the advice of her friends, she bad applied to the Magistrates for protection. In answer to a question from the Bench, Miss Lepatourel said, Mr. de Guerri had occupied apartments in her house, but be quitted them ms, the very morning these outrages began. Mr. .Bataglia,. id his defence, said—" lore, WurrusAip, I gave the Lady not one word of dew. I said I came here for my Omoey—very much money--from Mr. de Guerrt, and I must be 'id all of it.
