RRTIVICT FROM A LErrisn. Yesterday several persons woe brought op to the New Bailey, and examined befine Mr Norris, the Magisiraw, on various charges assiaiwil agarma diem. Brij ra d ii natty, a constable, staled. that three men struck hint, aril took his stick from him, and then carried Mr. Burgess. One of them flw could not tell which) called him a spy, and used other offenske language.— Ott being eras-examined by Mr. Barrow, the counsel, the witness said, that this occurred in Oxford-road, about V: at night. Ile mad not swear that he did not first strike one of the men violently. There were two oilier men with the witness. The ) g men at the bar had no sticks with them : there hail hot been any dispute I nce tousle. Ile snuck one of the men, and the blood came froin him ; ttttt cis were inflicted on the wit ness. They took him to Mr. Burgess, and charged him with having committed an assault. Ile then tonnl the tables on them, and brought them here on this charge. Platt, a police-officer, said, be saw a sort of scale between the parties, but could not tell what passed. Mr. Burgess, on h, tbg examined, said, that these men came to his house about half part I'2 at night, after he was gone to bed. %%lien he got down stairs, he found that the three men hail Batty in custody. They said they had been badly used : he saw one man with Wood on his head. Batty then made his charge against them. He (the witness's thought, that all patties had had a little liroor ; the three men were winning finis Stock port. Ile hail beard to-day that they were all steady men in iletieral. Mr. Norris.-1 can't tell how the troth lies in this story. Batty's oath is, that he was assaulted. I shall, however, dismiss .he complaint. I hope, if the assault was committed, it was the effect of being rather drunk, and nothing else. Four men were then brought tip, on a charge of having broken a chandelier at the theatre on Saturday last. A constable stated, that some persons in the upper boxes mid gallery had thrown potatoes into the lower holes, and broke one of the chandeliers. He saw a scuffle in. the upper gallery, and went there. These men, and about ttttt re, were shooting " Oft, oil,' but he did not see them throw any thing. Mr. Norris.—W hat was meant by " Off, off ?" Were they interrupting the performance on the stage ? Witness.—Yes, Sir, they were making a great noise, calling out repeatedly " Olf, off." Mr. Norris (to the prisoners.)—You have been guilty, then, of a most serious Ofence. lam glad to find that none of on thing things; but I it to go forth to the pub? e, that the performance at the theatre might not to be inn:trained by any noise whatever. It is clear that you have committed a breach of the peace by shout ing and hissing so as the performance could not 20 on. 1 repeat it, this is a m o st serious offence ; and a hen any persons are found guilty of it again, they will be severely punished. I do not think that lam justified in letting you go without binding you mew to appear at the ses sions; but if you will promise nut to du it again, I will let you go, and not hold you to bail. The prisoners as seined, and were then discharged. Thomas doors Wits Charged by four constat les with having made a great noise in the yard of the Old Church, while set vice was being perforated, at three o'clock on Sunday aftettmon. 'Fite witnesses said, that a greginumher of people were collected in the church-yard, and made a great noise there. At first there were about too, but the number increased. They called out to the police-officers, and used insulting language to them. One of the witnesses observed, that they were princ e. pally towns-people—they were principally persons vs ith white hats. Mr. Norris.—Never mind the white hats. This is a serious odence, and must be punished. One of the constables stated, that Batty, the officer, had been struck by the priauner. Brtiy con firmed this. Mr. Norris.—Then he must find sureties to appear at the Sessions. A decent•looking man came forward, 311 , 1 Said, that the prisoner Was coming from chapel, ;Aid did not it:. terfcre with the crowd. He had only a white hat ou, and this was toe reason he haul been taken. The Mail Said, " I will swear positively to this." Mr. Norris.—But Batty swears positively to the man. He must find suret-es : hear no mine. Four men then came forward, and said, that about o'clock on Sundae night, they had 'eked by pa lice-utliccrs, who struck them, and mud; White . hats.
