and a great crowd was assembled. The prosecutor having
spoken to a police-constable about it, and standing there
for a moment, the prisoner came up to him and struck
him, and another man who was close at hand knocked his
hat off. At the same moment the prisoner made a snatch
at an umbrella that the prosecutor held in his hand. but
the 1 titer set off running away followed by the pri-
soner, who afterwards made a snatch at his watch-
chain. This he repeated several times, and at last broke a
link of the chain, and it hung down upon his waistcoat.
Two other men followed him at the same time, calling
out " Follow him up," and the prosecutor ran into a pie-
shop for protection. When he came out he met a police-
deatable and gave the prisoner into custody, having no
doubt whatever that he was the man by whom he had
been assaulted. A man named William Ward, of Took's-
place, Millwall, who was passing by at the time
witnessed the whole transaction, and heard the prosecutor
my when he was attacked, " What have I done to de-
serve this ?" and teeing the peril he was in this witness
advised him to run away. When Robert Billings, 103 H,
took the prisoner into custody, he said he knew nothing
about the attempted robbery, and had never seen the pro-
secutor. .

The Prisoner was found Guety.

sation he had with Burton with reference to the violence
