Verdict—Nut Guilty. INN indLAN ASSMILT.—A publican, named Goulding, was tried upon an indictment charging him with a most Vila assault upon a poor Irishman named Driscol, by which the unfortunate man lost au eye. .; It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that • he had been drinking beer in the defendant's Nene with some others, and that the defendant wanted him to call for more drink, but he refused to do so, and was in an instant assailed by the publican, who, Dot content with the power he had of striking hard with his fist, raised up an officers stag' which he kept in the house for his noisy customers, and smote the Irishman with such violence in the eye as to destroy the sight of it for ever. A witness stated, that Goulding, after he had struck the poor Irishman iu so dreadful a manner. made an attempt to hit him on the bare head with the stall; and would have succeeded had not the winless caught hi hand. ATE NATIONAL REGISTER The Chairman then told the publican that he knew the case appeared worse at the police office than it even now seemed to be; that the 'peer man was long lan gelatin undo. the dreadful treatment he had received, and that no offer to make amends bad• been made. It had beat in consideration on the beach to inflict some disgraceful punishment opon the person guilty of such cruel violence on a man whom he had also been guilty of inciting to drink; but the previous good character of the defendanrearried its due weight, and the sentence of the Court was, that he should be Sited WI, with liberty to speak to the prosecutor. The prosecutor was content with 101., and the defen dant, on paying that sum, was discharged.
