CHARGE OF ASSAULT UPON A BURGION.—John Taylor,
a respectable-looking man, residing at 25, Princeustreet,
Portman-market, was charged with having committed a
most violent and unprovoked assault upon Mr. James
Lomax, surgeon, No. 2, Salisbury place, New-road.
Complainant deposed that, on the previous evening, he
attended a patient suffering from cholera at Notting-hill ;
and upon his return home, he found that his services had
been required in three other cases of the like description.
Between 10 and 11 o'clock he crossed over to hie toother-ia-
law's house opposite, and after pulling the bell, he wee
necessitated to go up to a lamp-post close by for a particular
purpose. While there defendant came by, and told him he
was acting against the law ; and on complainant asking him
for his authority for interfering, he (defendant) gave him a
blur which laid him prostrate upon the pavement. His eye
we. cut owing to the fall, and he was for a moment partly
stunned. He got up as speedily as be could, and followed
his a•sailaat, whom he gave into the custody of police con-
stable 136 D, as he wen making his egress from a public-
hogs* at the corner of Carlisle-street.

who-I,;o;siLTUT itme:nuetieca. defendant is the man
struck you ?
Complainant—l am, sir. I cannot be mistaken in his per-
son, for I did'at lose sight of him after he assaulted me ex-
cept for a moment, when he went in at one door of the
public-house end came out at the other.
Anderson, 136 D, said that when defendant was given into
his charge he observed that there was a slight mark upon
the eye of the complainant.
Mr. Long (to the defendant)—Whet is your answer tofthis ?
Defendant—l wee going up the New-road at about 20
minutes after 11 and saw complainant with a gentleman ; all
of a sudden he (complainant) staggered and 1 thought he
wu drunk, and the other person then left him and went up
Miltou.sueet. I again saw the parties together, and
com-
plainant said something to his friend, who remarked in re-
ply, " I'll walk with you." I was proceeding home, com-
plement being Just a head of me, when he turned round to
me and pointing his stick towards the Yorkshire Sang°,
exclaimed, " That's your road." Ile repeated this expres•
Lion upon two occasions, and I made answer that I knew
better than he did which way I was going. I went into
a public-house at the corner of Salisbury-street, and
not Carlisle-street, as he has stated, in order to get a glass of
porter, as is my usual custom, and on my leaving he gave
me into custody, when I told him that I knew my own road
Met. He then scatted me of having knocked him down,
but I solemnly declare that I touched him at all. He
had walked behind me for some distance prior to my reach-
ing the house where I had my glass of beer. What became
of the other party I don't know.
Mr. Long (to the constable)—Were the complainant and
defendant both sober? Constable (after much hesitation)—
Mr. Loma: had been drinking, but he kueve well enough
what he was about.

Mr. Long—Wu the defendant sober? Constable—He
was your worsqp.
Mr. Long said it was a Waage story altogether ; and u it
was probable, andel all the circumstances, that complainant
had made a mistake is the man, he should discharge the
accused; bat he (complainant) was at liberty, should he
think fit to do so, to prefer an iadictment cgainst him at the
missions,

Complainant assured the magistrate that he was in a per-
fectly sober condition when the charge was made by him.

looking young woman, was charged with murdering her
infant child.

John Slow. constable of the parish of Bermondsey, stated
that on the 26th of August last he received information that
a child bad been made away with in a house in Orimscott-
street. He accordingly proceeded to No. 10, in that street,
and on going up stems into the prisoner's bedroom he found
her in bed. He told her that he understood she bad deli-
vered herself of a child and destroyed its life. She turned
round her bud, and told me not to fret, es it was all wrong.
Witness then lett her and went into the parlour, where he
saw the body of a dead child wrapped up in a cloth. Wit-
ness had it conveyed to his house, and afterwards he buried
it. On the previous morning, ten•eing the prisoner sufficiently
recovered, he took her from the house and conveyed her to
the police-station, where he gave her in chugs for destroying
her infant child. She made no reply to the charge.
