IN El iliE MOBLET-CFMEN COAL AND COKE COMPANY

(LIMITED).

This was an old winding-up ease.
Mr. Roxburgh, on behalf of the official liquidator,
now applied for • peremptory order oo Mr. Barrett,
• contributory, for I,ooof. The matter had gone be-
fore the Lord Chancellor on appeal, and pending
which proceedings in this court had been stayed ;
his lordship bad cocarmed the order made io this
court : and it was now mired that a personal order for pay-
ment might be made, without which the call could not be
enforced.

-11 V. Licklater, for the contributory, took objection to the
sufficiency of the notice, which had only been served oa the
Bth of Jane.

Hu Honour said it appeared that Mr. Commissioner Fans
had made an order that no step should be taken to enforce
payment of this call until& week had elapsed from the Lord
Chancellor's decision on the appeal ; sodas the week had not
yet expired, sod the order was a very reasonable one, the
court would not interfere.

Oa the application of Mr. Roxburgh, the matter was
ordered to stand over for a few days.

NARLBOROUGH.STREET.
InTRAORDINLIT

Mr. William Marshall, of No. 4, Paper-buildings, Temple,
and Mr. George Esais Viejo's., of No. 5, Clarame-street,
Greenwich, were charged before Mr. Knox, with being
drunk and fighting in Regentotreet.
Impactor Wilsori,C Division, maid—On Saturday evening,
about a quarter past 10, while in company of Inspector
Silvertco, 1 mw a crowd of persons io Regent-street, and on
going up saw the two defendants fighting together in the
roadway. I heard a gentleman say to Marshall, Give it to
him—let him have it." Marshall then eruct Vivian, who
fell, and was quite sunned by the blow, and could not
stand. Both defendants had been drinking, Vials° the
worst of the two. I took Marshall into custody, and
Sil-
verton took Vivian.
_ _

fiiiirertint—l wan with Inspector Wilson end saw
the defendant' fighting. I heard Karakul! my, after striking
" That will settle him."
Mr. Marshall mid—l had dined at Verefe with a friend,
sad so far from being intoxicated we had only bad one bot-
tle of champs e between as. On going down Regent-street
I area gromly insulted by Vivian. I immediately turned
round and struck Vivian, and after a few Itlows had
been exchanged I knocked Vivian down. The polies
then came up, and without hearing anything of the
cause abused me. On arriving at the station they
refused to admit my friend. Vivian also abused me at the
station, and although I claimed the proteetion of the soling-
inspector, no notice was taken. One of the inspectors vaK
I was "no gentleman." All I have stated I have a Mead
in to corroborate. _ _

iasin:l;:ciininspeetor at Vies-street
polias-
station, rid—On the defendants beteg brought in and
charged, I took the charge is the usual way. Vivian was
drunk, but the other was not, although he had been driok-
iag. The defendant Marshall wanted hail, and bail was
taken at • quarter past 11. No person appealed to on. for
protectioo, neither did I hear either of the inspectors say
Marshall was " no pntlernan."
Mr. Marshall—l'll swear the expression was made use of.
When it was forted who I was they altered their tone, and
were quite respectful.
Mr. Knox—ls it not the ease, Mr. Marshall, that haring
been dining, and having taken • ease of wins or two you
were excited, the more SO as you allege you were grossly
bridled ? What was the nature of the insult!

Mr. Marshall-1 had taken no more wine than usual, and
was not excited. Vivian pat his hand on my person sa I
was walking arm in arm with my friend.
Vivian—l Wham drinking too much and wu not ac-
countabl• for my action..
Mr. Knox —lf you are guilty of what Mr. Marshall stator
it is a most abominable thing.
Major Ray, at 2, Queen's-gate-place, Kensington, said—
I had bees with Mr. Marshall in the country all day, and
after dials' at Verey's we were walking dawn Regent-
street. Suddenly Mr. Marshall left my arm, and thee came
hack saying, "That man has indeossitly assaulted ma." Mr.
Marshall then knocked Vivian down, and I think acted quits
rightly. I should have due so myself.
Mr. Knox—As a magistrate I ma of say that Mr Mat.
shall should have giros Vivian into custody.
Major Ray—l was telling the inspectors what happened
when they came up, but they refused to hear roe. At the
station-house they refused to hear me, telling me that I
mast wait till I got before the magistrate. They were very
uncivil. On offering to hail Mr. Marshall they said they
could only do so on seeing my last receipt for poor rates. I
told them I did not carry it about in my pocket and then
left and got a person to bail Marshall.
Mr. Knox—l shall discharge Marshall. Having been sub-
jected to such an insult as be states, it was a most natural
thing for him to do ma be did. With reference to any
in:ivility from the police, all they saw was two men fighting
sod one knock down the other.
Mr. Marshall—They treated me like a pickpocket, and it
was at my own suggestion I west to the elation.
Mr. Marshall then left the bar, and wee examined as a
witness. He said—l wise walking arm-in-arm with Major
Ray whim I suddenly felt a man run against me, and pat
his hand on my person. I said, "You scoundrel," or
" villain." I struck Vivian—the man—and knocked him
down. The police
Mr. Knox—lf you are aggrieved at the conduct of the
police, you can apply to Sir R. Mayne.
Mr. Marshall—l will swear the inspector said I war so
no gentleman.
Mr. Knox—Was Vivian drunk!

Mr. Marshall—l should say be was.
Vivian—No ooe more regrets what has happened than
. .

Mr. kilos—You get drunk. commit an indecent assault,
and afterwards in fighting you are knocked down. I cannot
justify Mr. Marshall's doing that, but I think everybody
will say hi conduct was excused, under the circumstances.
I shall order Vivian to and one bail in MX to keep the peace
for air months, and he may think hinuelf fortunate he is
not at the easeiona
