lads ia quotas. corroborated the laid whoop, giving so
iiia version of Mm. Maitin's putties her arm on Webb's
ehoulder, as that it sine only intendsd to pacify him.
He was not drink although he heti been drinking.—

was exelte.l at the thoughts of the eleamion next de>, or
whether it was 'nee drink. He had not said that he
thought the affair wa. • frivolous matter and ought no
to come into the court, but he did say that Mr. Webb'a
*induct was not gentlemanly. —Be-examined : The
roliceuun came just as the row was over, and he ex
pleined t, him what had ocettrred.—This ma. til". can
for the proucastion, and Mr. Lock submitted to the
Bench whether there was any necusity for further
taking up the time of the court. He pointed out
the contradictory nature of the evidence, and
oonteoried that by the plantirs own witacurs the ease
had bioken down.—The Bench thoeglit otherwise and
requested Kr. Leek to bring fererard hi. witaieseee.—
The first witness for the defame was P.C. Delamont,
•tho said be was at Union•row about 10 o',lock on the
night its question. He beard young Martin and Webb
quarrelling in front of Mts. Warren's door, and as
Mrs. Martin own, soros@ the road to her son, peals
through the crowd, and pet her hands on Mr. Webb's

ber Dames, but could not say what—ln erosimexamins-
tine witness said he was close to defendant when Mrs.
Mania pet her handers his shoulder, and he wasceetain
he did not pat his lets in her fue.—Elisahetb Burger
also gave oorreborative evidence, aid espremed her gar-
prised nt the "summating job."—The Mayor again
suggested that the parties should endeavour to settle
the ease without the enterferenee of the Beech, and
their respective solicitors lets the curt for that purpose.
Jut trice moth. return of the interested pates with
their .elicitor., Mr. Potheeary complained that the
doges of the Court had been kept aloud, which he
thought was control" to English law and juatioe.—The
Mayor said he did net know that anyone had been kept
out; it was not within his knowledge.—The stipule-
tendent said it was the practice in the London Courtin
when all witnesses were ordered out of Court and a
witness ems under examination, not to open the doors,
otherwise a commumastion between the witnese and
the, outside might take plue.—Mr. Potheoary said
they were not in Londoo, they were governed by the
custom in the ouustry.--Mr. Webb who, with the
other parties now eagle into court, said he was satisfied
that the polies had doe. their duty.—Captain Proems
said if Mr. Pottiest.", persisted in repeating such as
observation he mould leave the Bench. —Mr. Pethecary

had determined to shake hands.to express mutual regret,
said each pay his owe coum—The Mayor mid he was
(lad to bear of sub a determioation. The other
summonses blaring on this cue were not pro-
ceeded with.—This use lasted nearly three haute--
George Howe was summoned for an assault on Joseph
Beale.—Aooording to oomplaisant's earldom he made it
appear that defendant on the let of November had been
Iriug in ambush for bias one boar; that be, complain-
ant, left his house shoot seven and immediately after
was set up-m, knocked down, and kicked by defendant.
—ln answer to Mr. Lock, who appeared for defendant,
he said he did not agree to fight with Howe the pentad-
ing night.-Beveral witnesses were called, but not one of
them saw the commencement of the adray—a very
important element in matters of aseault.—lle Lock,
howeeer, called one Wi11..,. Smith, who threw consi-
derable light upon the affair. On the morning in
question he said be was sneaking with Howe when Basle
drew up. Howe asked Beale if he was in the same mind
as he was the puha,a evening ea to fighting. Beale said
Yes." Both *tripped, and Beale having nursed his
