I think the disturbance in the perk on Bosley was partly
owing to some disagreements of party, end I myself am a
foreigner, I think it beat that I should no. appear. At the

Kr. Bar
Georgeest. Ms was poi to the bar charged with assaulting

Mr. Beret, as beingeworn, said—l live at the Pavilion,
Sloane-street. I was in the park on &cagey week. I was
in a carriage with ladies. As I was going horse, all at
once I was attacked in Hyde-perk by several people. The
dekettiant was among than. The defendant took off my hat,
by getting on the footboard behind the carriage, and struck
as on the head with my hat several times. I
said to the coachman, "Torn round," but throe
was no chance of doing so for some minutes. The
defendant continued striking me for three or four minutes.
I could not get my hat again. Some people took it, end
I lost it altogether. Ido not think the defendant spoke
to me.

The defendant, in reply, said, what the gentleman states is
all true. But lam not the men at all. It was a man more
respectably dressed than I am.
Mr. Braden to Mr. Basset—Do you recognise this person?
Mr. Basset—l think Ido ; fur I struggled fur my hat.
Mr. Beadon—Hare you any doubt about him 2
Mr. Basset—There were so many means there that I
may make a mistake, but it is my opinion ha is the man.
Polies-sergeant Dowd, who gave evidence previously, said
the defender, was the man.

lii:feed lam satin led that the defendant is the man.
Your sondem barn been such (prisoner) that I could not think
of allowing on to escape all punishment, and therefore I di-
rected Mr. Beret to attend at this court. Your conduct is
all the more atrocious, because the cowardly attack on this
gentleman was made in consequence of his being a foreigner.
If you expect that the laws of this country will tolerate such
conduct, you will end yourself mistaken. You are a die-
rem m the name of Englishman, and to teach you better for
the future, I shall ens you M. for theaeralß and one month's
imprisonment for theism& on the eoaataW.. And I further
say that indisputably when riots occur In this way, I will pat
on the heaviest penalty the law permits.
