take a fortnight, geotlemen.”—George Pottle, a
beer-house keeper, was then charged with assaulting
a man named George Franoes. It appeared that a
harmonic society was held weekly at the defendant's
house, at which the defendant', daughter played on
the pianoforte. A short time since the defendant
received an anonymous letter that the defendant, who
was a member of the harmonie society bed seduced
the defendant's daughter. The defendant naturally
felt exasperated, and he pve out big sounding words
about sending the complainant's soul into another
world, bat whether or not say actual aeastrlt really
' took place, the bystanders (maid not say. Some
' were fully persuaded that blows were struck, and
' others were as fully persuaded that not a single blow
was given. The oomplainaat in the last case, as a
sort of set-off was then charged with oommitting an
indecent &emelt upon,TPanny Pottle, a blind girl 154
