The policeman deposed—At about • quarter before 11
o'clock last night I was on duty in Drury-lane, when I
heard the smeams of a woman from Charles-street. I went
there, and found the prisoner beating a woman. He
knocked her down, kicked her in the neck, and stamped
three times on her bead. As soon as I could reach the spot
took him away from her. He caught hold of my trousers,
turned me over, and threw me on the ground. While I
WWI down he struck me and kicked me repeatedly about the
body. After • struggle I succeeded in getting him under.
Some of his companions then came up and set on me. The
struggle continued fur a quarter of an hoar, during which
time they stamped upon me and kicked me about the head
and body. I A last succeeded in getting my rattle out
of my pocket ; but the mob ran off with it and sprang
it. Some other constables came to my assistance, and we
took the prisoner to the station-house. He was drank.
Mr. Hall—Do you know the names of any of the persons
who struck or kicked you?
Witness—No, sir. I could not identify any but the
prisoner.

besting ? . . _

kd night but declined to charge the prisoner.

The woman belongs to myself, and I can find her—l can
produce her.

The gaoler of the court said the accused were not known.
A person from Mears. Waterlow's. City, said Davey had
teen an apprentice for two years in the house, and wee a
well-conducted lad and bore a good character. Having heard
of his being charged with picking pocket., witness made
inquiries, and found he bore a good character
Evidence of Tarrant's good character having been given by
a person in the employ of Mr. Newman, of Watlingatreet,
Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the sailor,
Bishop.
Mr. Canfield, of the 6rm of Newman and Cornfield, said he
wished to bear testimony also to Tarrant's good character.
He was in the habit of fetching money from bankers, and
eking charge of the warehouse.
A lodging-house keeper said he knew Bishop as the
steward of a vessel, which was to sail that day. He be-
lieved him to be a man of good character.
Mr. Knox said he should have no hesitation in discharging
the prisoners, after the evidence of character he bad heard.
It was, however, an extraordinary case, as the constable
aterson, 144 0) had spoken of three attempt.. But he be-
lieved the constable had made a mistake in what he said he
bad seen. Tay left the coat without the slightest imputation
their characters, and without there being any pretence for
saying that they were in the Haymarket for the purpose of
licking pockets. He would, however, advise them to keep
trolls the Havmarket.

The accused, whose characters are evidently free from
reproach, and who stated that it was their first visit to the
Haymarket, were then discharged, and left the court with
their friends.
