The prisor nor mid she would reserve her defence, and was
fully committed.
Mr. David Llewellyn was summoned for having assaulted
Mr. Conway Dignam.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlboniughetrein, ap-
peared for the defendant.
The complainant said be was at present stopping at a
eciffeehouse in the London-road. He was walking to the
Barliagtou-arcade with his sister, in the early part of
Janua.ry, when the defendant came up, laid hold of him, and
said, ' These are the two thieves who perjured them-
selves at Brampton, and who are going to perjure them-
selves in the Windham case." The defendant thou used dis-
gusting language to his peter, and on complainant going for
the protection of the police, the defendant said he would
lock him up to prevent him from giving false evidence in
the Windham case. Complaisant, however, gave the de-
fondant in charge for the assault.
Croes.examioed—The await was confined to seizing hold
of him in the arcade. Hail not lived in any regular place
for some time. Went out with his sister merely to view
the shops. Did not go out with the intention of meeting
with the defendant. Had seen the defendant on the 24th
December, but bad not brought a mob round his house. A
police-constable was fetched to remove him, but com-
plainant was not removed, because he went away of his own
accord. Was clerk, hut out of a situation. Did not call
out in the Arcade "Here comes one-eyed Llewellyn." Was
brother-in-law to the defendant.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—The Windham case is all over now.
Mr. Lewis—lt is, and I think this ought to have been
over likewise.
Miss Dignam gave her evidence to the mme effect se that
of her brother.
Mr. Lewis said he was prepared to show that no assault
had been committed ; but he was quite willing for the sake
of peace that each party should be bound over to keep the
peace towards each other.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said this course would be the beet. It
generally happened that where parties belonging to the
same family gave evidence in cases of lucency on opposite
sides a bad feeling prevailed for some time. He really
thought that as the Windham case had terminated this
case, which had arisen out of it, should end also.
Mr. Llewellyn was not astiakd with this settlement et
the matter, and was proceeding to enter into scandalous per-
sonal statements, when he was stopped by Mr. Tyrwhitt,
who refused to hear anything more, and orderedboth parties
to eater into recognizance'.
