George Parker, 39, described as a bitt;lilayer„ of CmWoe-

(alluring violet assault :
Leonard Pogb, usietant to Mr. Frederick Fleck, a broker,
and on* of the tax collectors for the Mile-end diatnct, stated
that he resided in St. Helen's-plaos, Lower Whiteman,-
street, and on the preceding day, between 4 sod 5 o'clock,
he accompanied his employer to the hones of the prisoner
in Crabtree-row, where he asked him for some Net be wu
in &nears, amounting to 11. 10a, and told him he had come
to detrain upon his goods if the amount were not paid. He
showed him his warrant authorising the distraint, and the
prisoner immediately became so violist both in language
and action that a polioe-000stabis was obliged to be seat

so some time, and knew nothing that afterwards occurred
till he found a constable in the house, to whom be gave the
prisoner into custody. Mr. Fleck said that he secompenied
his man Pugh to the house, but found the prisoner getting
so violent and threatening that he was obliged almost at'

Oa being asked how this was, the witness explained that
he bad signed it as the agent of an elderly gentleman
named Brooksom who had estroded him with the whole
control of this property, and gives him • full anthoriattiou
to collect the rents for him, and act as broker and spot,
where osorecary, on his behalf, without any neotesity of
consulting the owner whatever; in fact, the whole collec-
tion and management of the estate had been left in his
hands. He could not jut then produce this authoriaatioo,
but it had never been recalled and he had acted opouit
without the slightest dispute for the last 16 years. The
warrant had certainly not been read to the prisoner ; but
that was entirely his own fault, as his violence was so great
there was no opportunity to read it, and he perfectly well
knew the purpose for which they came.
Mr. Leigh bad some doubt whether • general authorisation
was strictly applicable in all cases of this kind ; but a bad
case of sued% had been dearly established 'visit the pri- '
mar, and be should therefore order the depositions to be
taboo, and fully commit him to the sessions for trial.
