IL , 1 , MI DDLESEK SEPAONS.-;tiiiiiiiii. r ' - ASSAULT. .. . Th omas B orges , was indicted for assaultinz Mrs. Herr. 1 Mrs. Roia Hart, the wife of Mr. Aaron Hart, stated, that on the 13th of November, she was returning home la the evening, about balf-past six, to her house at Totten ' h am sh e got into the Edmonton stage coach at the ' Plower Pat, in Bisbopsgate Street, at which time there were two females in the coach. At Kingsland the de fendant got into the coach, and took his seat by her side, and whispered in ber ear language of the most disgusting and fulsome description. At Newington, the ladies got out, and he and her remained in the coach. The defend ant forced his elbows two or three times into her side; she told him repeatedly, that she , was in the family way, and be would hurt her; be continued to insult her, and took the most indecent liberties with her. Cross examined by Mr. Ananta.—The defendant and - her husband bad been intimate from their childhood ; but she had never been intimate with him. She could not say that there bad been a dispute between them. Thy. was a young gentleman in the coach at the time the defendant offered her the insults she had stated. Mr. Lower was one of the passengers in the coach on the evening in question. and beard the defendant ask Mrs. Hart how her sister was ? and observed that she was a good girl. Mrs. Hart said, am I not a good girl? I have been married sixteen months, and have had one child, and am large with another. The defendant then whispered in her ear, and she said, Oh, you nasty blackguard—you *My ',ferment." lie did not see him assault .her. nor did its beat' What he whispered in her ear. The witness heard no abuse on the part of the defendant. A Doctor was then called to prove the injury done to Mrs. Hart. Mr. Astanta.—This is doctoring a case with a ven geance. The Jury instantly acquitted the defendant, Ifilliam Strickland, John Pask, and John Cattle, were indicted for obtaining money under false pre• tenses. Mr. Mowbray, umbrella manufacturer, of ('ow Cross Street, stated. that on the 17th of November, he left two boric. in St. Martin's Lane,in the care of a lad ; on return. big to the horses, Strickland came up to him, pushed him, sand took the horses away to the Green Yard ; he asked Why the horses were detained, and then he saw Cuttle, • the keeper of the Green Yard, and they then told him he had incurred a penalty of 40s. fur allowing his horses to stand in the street ; Strickland then (having the Act of Parliament in his hand) said lie would mitigate the penalty to ss. each horse, and Ios. expenses, which he was ablii4ed to pay to obtain 1114 horses. Cross examined by Mr. ALLav—Went to Bow Street. • hut the defendants were discharged, and be had to pas the.costs; two of the defendants were homilies of the parish and the other the keeper of the Green Yard ; paid LOs. to Cottle, who gave a receipt for it. The CHAIRMAN read the indictment, which stated the pretence of the defendants to be that the horses i►crc in the street for sale. The %fitness added—lie told them the horses were no► fur sale; lie ►uerely left them in core of s bov until he Kent into Aldridge's Repository, in Little St. Slartin's Lane. When before the Illagistrales, the defends/Ifs ►vere not ordered to return the 2Us.; it was at one o'clock in the day. James ItudJock, errand boy to the last witness, stated that he was ordered to take care of his horses. lle was there only ten minutes when his master came back. Mr. ALLtv said that he would prove that the defend ants, thinking themselves acting correctly, took the heroes to the green yard, imposed the penalty npon the prosecutor, and paid it fairly over to the Commissioners. The facts were these: in St. Mart!n's Lane was Mr. .Aldridge's Repository for the sale of horses, a place of •Ereat nuisance to the iahabitants. Not (observed the Jammed Counsel) as fir as Mr. Aldridge was co-ocerned ; there many persons exhibited their horses in the street, in the hope of attracting the attention of the persons frequenting this repository ; and tlse.e persons thole saved • the usual fee for tithing the horses into the repository: The • defendants had acted, as they imagined correctly, because the horses were illegally exposed for sale in the street, and Were authorised to take theta to the Green Yard; they did so, levied the fine, gave a receipt for it, and paid it over to the proper quarter. Mr. ALLEY read the section of the Act which authorizes any .persons appointed by the Committee of the parish to seize any goods, t l / 4 .c. in the street, and cause to impose a penalty of 10s. sad not less than as. Mr. Alley con tended that the defendants were authorised to do what they bad done without going before a Magistrate. Mr. Samuel Hawkrs, clerk to the Paving Conitnittee, stated that the Act produced was their local act ; the two beadles (defendants) were appointed by the Colninittee; they brought to hint 104 , the penalty from the prosecutor within half an hour of their having received it. They • bear good characters. Robert Belt/rood, a housekeeper near Aldridge's Ile• pository, deposed to the nuisance of a member of horses Laing teft in the street, so as to endanger the lives of the .passengers. Mr. Latchford, Mr. Holland, and Mr. Canning, re fitting near the spot, deposed to the oui4ance 'very • Wellnes.iay. The CHAIRMAN said the case was very simple ; the ques tion was whether the money was fraudulently taken; under the Act alluded to the defendants had nu right to take the horse.; whether they took the horses right or wrong, they diditeena Ms I the act was not done sly or for purposes of profit; they took them to the Green Yard and imposed a penalty, which was paid over to the -proper authorities. There was no false'preteuee used, bit; t it was evidently a mistake; therefore the Jury would re • quit: the defendants of the fraudulent pretence. The proper mode would be fur the prosecutor to summon the Coutmittee for the money. The Jury found them Not Guilty. Thomas Erswell was indicted for committing ad assault en the person of Mary Webb. • It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor lived as 3 servant with the defendant, who was a baker, residing in Compton Street, Clerkenwell. The prosecutrix was 15 parader. It was her duty to sit up to let the ivothmen so. On the night of the 19th of November, she was sitting as usual on a sofa, in the parlour. awaiting the arrival of the men, when the defendant came to her, and proceeded to take indecent liberties with her. The prosecutrix struvglell very much, and cried out, and the prisoner, thinking he heard somebody coining down stairs, left her. The'defendaut is a married man. • The defendant called a •woman named Taylor, a • lodger in his house, who stated that she bad on several occasions seen the defendant and the prosecutrix kissing • •caels other. • The COURT, under thesicircurostances,directed the Jury to acquit the defendant. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of—Noi _ Goi ' • - : . • The t'ornv observed that the defendant's conduct bad • Leen most disgraceful. • James Goddard, &constable was indicted for falsely in, pri.oning William Hoskins, • and extorting five shillings 'from Mtn; 1 Hoskins stated, that on the 7th of October he irentld the (;ibraltay puhhe house, Bethnaltireeti, with .I.ttnee J:xtanian ; wltite lbw , the Lilo was rubbed of w%tch censevroce they went.to :the defendant, who tante iO the house a..d it/Itched without effect.

Mr. Asionswa,• for the defence, alleged that all this lansiness arose oat of the disputes which bad Ling pre railed in the Parish of Bethnal Green. He said the money was for the trouble the constable had, and that it was, not extorted, but freely given.—He called numerous witnesses, who spoke.strungJy to the character of the defend tut. The CHAIRMAN left it to the Jury, whether a man, ruts ceasing such a character, would be guilty of the conduct imputed to him. iii'' The Jury, after considerable hesitation and debate among themselves, found the prisoner—Not Guilty. .iissiplteo young man, staitilikbe.cohipisned lo support!thr chilJ. !_ .The. young wom►n wit ace or.lingly removeJ from the office, awl furnished with the oi•ceasary information rela tive to the affiliation of her child.

H• was therefore, compelled to rail one of the soldiers front the Guard House, and desire him to 'procure a police offiser. The poor woman, nn being asked what she hal to say to the charge, addressed the Magistrates in a must inco herent wanner, and said that she thought it very hard that she should be excluded from tier own palace : that the porter was a traitor to his Qseen and couirry ;" and that she would have hint hung.

N. Richardson, a man of shabby genteel appearance, was yesterday brought to this office for • second examination, on a charge of stealing two shirts, the property of Jean S. D'Hsune. It appeared that the prisoner, while In France, became acquainted with the prosecutor, and borrowed from him 9111 francs. The prosecutor became urgent for his money, and the prisoner invited him over to this cowry to receive it, saying that he had an estate to sell, out of the pro ceeds of which he would he enabled to discharge his deat.— The prosecutor came, and was amused for some days by various pretences; at length, the prisoner invited bite to Ken sington Gardens, where, like one of the babes in the wood, he endeavoured to lose him, imagining perhaps that he should find him again in • few days, comfortably covered over with dry leaves by the little edek robins. Luckily fur poor Mon sieur D'Haune, he was found in his wanderings, and safely conducted to the White Lion, at Charing Cross, where he had lodged with his faiildess companion, and where, on his arrival, lie diselvered that the prisoner had cars ied off two of his shits. The prisoner escaped his pursuit for some the., but at length he met him in the City, and took hint into cus tody. The prisoner admitted that he had borrowed money from the 'prosecutor, but denied stealing the s Iris. He said Monsieur and himself always wore the same slt'r sin commie. He ac counted for his desertion of the Frenchman by slitting, tnat being unable to p.iy him the debt he owed him, he wished to escape his importunities by running away. M. D'Ffaune denied the co-partnership in the shirts, and !wrested in his former story.. in consequence of which Mr. Richardson was remanded till Friday next, to efrird an op portunity for the boy, who saw him carry the shirts out of the house, to attend. MARLBOROUGH STRBET.—Yesterday Sladicick• a journeyman in the service of Mr. Deagley, a te.pectalile butcher resioing at No. 11:0, Jerrov n Street, St. James's, was brought to this office, charged by his master at itii rob` bing him of large quantities of meat at various tunes. Mr. Beasley sated, that for a considerable time pest lie has daily missed a large portion of the steel; of ene%t in his shop ; and in order, if possible, ,to ascertain the calm of such deticiency,lie has lately taken the prevail ion of weigh ing the whole over night, and again the next morning, when he always found a deficiency, with which the receipts an the till never corresponded. This convinced him that he was plundered by sow:e one in his service, and de:ermined him to watch the proceedings of his men snore ; and accordingly on Saturday morning last, at six o'clo •k, he placed himself and Ilueklaud, an active enustable of St. James's, in cuncealineot, so as to , commend a terfect view of Mr. Beaery's shop, and in a little flute they saw the door opened by the prisoner, and two men enter ; who after delaying some time, returned out, an I walked away evident' ly burdened with come of Mr. Beasley's property. Mr. Beasley and Buckland pursued them, and brought them back to the shop, when they found in their prsceskion a-ye' rill prime j‘ints of meat, which they at once acknowledged they had purchased from the prisouer Str.idwiek, a t the ra t e of 4J. per lb. although the market price of %net' meat at present is Is. per lb.
