Tin' poimeotor deposed that he was a coal-meter. and re-
sided in Strays-.tenet, Styptics. Ile was the secretary to a
society milled the 'rime Loan Sciety, with which he had
been enaneete el Air nearly two stars, and whieh was held at
the house of the defendaut Wilson: Formerly the Society
Wan held at :knottier but it was moved to Wil-
rou'e, where they hired a rasa in which its business was to
he conducted and its meetings held. Ile knew the de-
fendant Barber. Hu we. registrar under the Coal
Whippers Act. On the filth of September the society was
in occupation of the naafi at Wilsun'e. The landlord was
nut one of the directors, but it was a rule with the society
that the landlord of the house at which it was held should
be a director ; but Wilson did not tucke good his quMitica-
lion, paying only I/. iustead of AU. He was asked by the
manager to ply up, but he retUsid. On the evening of the
10th of fteptemilser witinas and three directors were in the
room, transacting the business of the society. Ile got there
about nine ; the &ocelot.", were thew at about seven.
The pommel of the house came into the room, and said,
" Mr. l'reece, a gentleman wants you down stain," when
echoes mid, " Tell lino to come up." The 'outman then
left the room, awl the defendant, immediately en-
tered the neon. At that time witness was sitting with his
back towards the door. Mr. Wilson at once demanded
of him to 1, are the room. Ile asked what he was
to leave the nstm for, when Wilmu said, " Never mind, I'll
let you knees what for, I demand you to leave the room."
Witnes• said he sluiubl not until he had concluded the busi-
ness that required his uttentiou, upuu which Wilson said,
I'll make you, at the mine time taking hold of the chair he
was sitting in w ith one hand, and with the other taking hold
of hint by the shirt front and coat collar, pulled the chair
from under him, swung him round, and struck him several
if on the lace. Vlore was a partition close to where
this took pia, ; be got him (witness) on it, and before he
could regain his feed he struck him several blows about the
head and shoulders. Having again got on his feet, he
struck %V 'moan the mouth in his own defence, as he still
continued strikiag at him. As thin Wail going on Mrs.
iGilsoa rushed into the room, and placed hvmelf between
them, and said to her husband, "Charleo, thoi is too much,
you are going too tar." She succeeded in getting him out
of the mom, and the door was then lisked on the outside,
and in the imam of a noise that occurred outside on the
lauding be heard Wilson declare that he would have his
revenge. Atter the lapse of a few minutes the door was
opened, and Wilson entered the room accompanied by
Basher and other ps roms. His coat was Otr and his shirt
sleeves turned up. His manner was very violent. lie
rushed at witness and knocked down one or two of the
Mr:Lenin iu his endeavour to get at witness. lie again
struck him, and dealt blows as long as he could
and until w itnessi was quite exhausted. He was pitched
over chairs and tables, and struck by Wilson right and left
repeatedly. Wituess defended himself as long as he could,
and he took up a chair, by holding which between him
and his assailant, he endeavoured to ward off the blows—
at that time he was lying on the floor. It was whilst in
this potion that he took up the chair. He had been
knocked down in the scuttle three or four times. It was
when he was holding the chair between himself and Wil-
son, that Barber • Tiered. Barber "(live it him,
give it him, they all deserve it." Ile repeated this a
number of times, and so did the whole of the party who
came into the room with Wilson. Barbs•r took away from
bin the chair with which he was protecting himself, and
as be aid so lie gave him (witness) a kick under the ribs
near the groin. When he had deprived him of the chair,
he woo to Wilson, " Now, then, you've the opportunity, '
give it him." Ile received some blows from behind, but
who struck Ciena he could not tell. They did not appear
to come from a hand. Ho was so exhausted that
he gut to another part of the room hear to an
iron chest, and leaned as it. Whilst doing so,
Welkin continued to beat him. Ile then cried out
murder as loud as he could, and one of his friends got
out and brought in a policeman. As the friend was going
out Barber said, " leo vagabond, you've aot had enough
of it, and I've a great mind to give it you." He could not
leave the room without assistance. lie suffered severely
from the injuries received. He was beaten shout the tem-
ples, where the flesh was swollen and bruised. His eyes
Were fearfully blackened, both his lips were cut through,
his tongue was alit, and he was bruised severely in various
parts of his bodv. He was suffering at the present time
from bruises inflicted about the spine and shoulders. He
Went before a magistrate, and after consulting his legal
adviser. Mr. Pelham, be gave notice that he should prefer
this indictment. It was at nod contemplated to try the
ease is the Court of Queen's Bench, but that course was •
not takea on account of the expense.
In cross-exam nation the witness said the reason the
directors did not interpose was that they had enough to do
to protest the pa books, and money lying on the tables.
Ole of them, Mr. Cavalier, did take Mr. Wilson by the
am, bat be woe a little man, and Barber picked him up in
his arems, sad pitched him on to the table, (Loud law/bier.)
