Mr. H.ssry llaskal, landlord of the Jolly Butchers
pnblie-house, Stoke Newington, appeared before Mr. Hum
mill, to answer an adjourned summons, in which he was
charged with having unlawfully opened his house before
the hour of 1 o'clock on Sunday, the 20th ult.
Polite-constable N 94, stated that at half pest 11 o'clock
on the morning io question he observed a man standisg in
front of the defendant's tap-room window, through an aper-
ture in which, constructed so as to act es a song sub, •
gins bottle was handed to him, which he hastily transferred
to his eon pocket. Witness immediately made towards
him, and inquired what he had got there, but as he refused
to answer the quads*, witness considered himself justified
in taking the bottle teem him, sad found it to testato half •
plat of gin. Wham then obtained adsaimien into the
house and, held semasualeseed what he had seen to the
defendant, who s d rt an • gross fahleatlen, be sub-
sequently made • report of the neurnaos to his inspector,
which oostatunicatise resulted in the protest infermatisa.
Mr. Daneombe, who appemed for the defuses, eeneeeneed
upon the testimony of the enestabie, sad intimated that he
was prepend to tell several whammies, whose evident*, he
felt satisfied, would convince the magistrate that the Aug*
was totally destitute of foundation.
Jane gorges, the defendant's hensaid, was then exa-
mined, sad stated that on the morals, of the day mentioned
in the summons, the only persons in the house were her
mann, lineal, and the pouters, sad tint no liquor what-
ever was draws or served before the hoer of one o'clock.
One of the panes la the tap-ram window was furnished
with a swing frame for the purposes of ventilation, bat it
was net opened at all that morning, and the shutters over
the window wen not removed until the lawful hour for
opening the boon.
John Porter, the potman, gave similar evidence, and two
of the neighbours, named Horne and Toiliday, proved that
the tap-room shutters remained closed uatil the time men-
tioned by the last witness.
Kr. Hamesill said, that after such conflicting evidence it
was most essential that the man who was alleged to have
been served with the spirits should be summoned sea wit-
ness, and it Meng boon stated by the constable that he was
tenanted with his address, the further investigation was
adjourned for his attendance.

On the we being sow called on, Yr. Mary Wilcox, a
tradesman, residing I. the neighbourhood, and whom the
dime prommaseed to be the person above referred to, was
C4in tin witnees-box, but he emphatically denied

heriant's haw on the day is question. He itated, how-
ever, that baleen* 11 and 12 on Me Sunday atomise he bad
emenies tense the house on his war to the residence of his
brother, bombs is his pocket at the time a bottle of gin,
white he had purchased on the previous night, according to
his usual ewstem, when be woe suddenly stopped within a few
yards of the tap-room window by the policeman, who impe-
ratively insisted upon knowing what he had got about him.
On demanding his authority for such an impertinent ioquiry,
the policeman instantly pulled out his trunche.in, and
declaring that he would search him on the spot, seized him
by the collar, and pressing his knuckles underneath his
neckcloth drove him back with all his lore. against the wall.
The policeman then deliberately thrust his hand into the
pocket of witnell, sad firoibly abstracted the bottle of
spirits, after examining which, with the exclamation,
" That's quite enough, it's gin," he walked off with it, and
disappeared round the corner of the street. The mimeos
added that he hod a been so brutally treated in his life,
and that be found himself compelled to return home and lie
down for some time before he recovered from the effects of
the violas°, to which he bad bean subjected.
In answer to a question from the magistrate, the polies-
man declared that the particulars of the transaction were
greatly exaggerated by the last witness, and that he should
be able to prove that he bad not urawn oat his truncheon at
all on the omission.

The barmaid, wbo bad supplied the gin on the Saturday
night, was then sent for, sad, having confirmed the evi
dence of the wines, Wino: to that effect,
Mr. Harantill ezpremed his opinion that the evidence he
had jut beard constituted a complete answer to the charge,
and at ones ordered the summons to be dismissed.

cut, with her mother. She then met the prisoner with a
female, when he said to the latter :—" Here comes
the who gave me fear months." The woman instantly
rushed oa her, tore her bonnet sad shawl off, tad before she
could protest herself, scratched her face. The prisoner then
seized her, making use of oaths, and knocked her down
twice. When she tried to get up, he bit her in both arms,
tearing away pieces of fifth. She had at that time in the
pukes of her dress a halt-sovereign and sixpence, which
the prisoner stole while she was on the ground, and then
he ran away. Her cries brought several persons to the spot ;
but on one attempted to protest her from his violence.
Frederick leaning., a publieaa's lad, said he was peados
down the NOW•011i at the time, and saw • female first

bad aseertelasel that he bed changed • half sovereign in

The magistrate said it was clear that he bad committed a
most desperate assault and daring highway robbery. He
should fully email him for trial, when the judge, no
doubt, would send such a ruffianly fellow out of the matt,
for • beg time.

towards the proseentrix.
