gr. Sleigh who was instructed on behalf of the prisoner,
01 that he was a respectable young man, and he had muf-
fed a great deal of distress. Two executions had been
to into his house and the whole of his property had been
opt away, and under these circumstances, the proaecti-
to was anxious to withdraw from the prosecution. He
toxfore wrongly urged the alderman to consent to his
aog so, and to allow the prisoner to be discharged.
ilderman Healey said it was a very painful thing for
sogistrate to be compelled to act in such a case, but his
ity left him no alternative. The charge was clearly
oved against the prisoner, and the only thing he could
llinks to send him for trial.
fir. Sleigh said that he had done all he could in making

George Knight, 53, a shoemaker, at 134, High-street,
loiton, was charged with assaulting awl resisting in the
tecution of his duty Devitt, 92 N, one of the warrant
icen attached to tlascourt, and also with wilful damage.
Devitt said—At 10 o'clock this morning I went to de-
Sulant's house with an ejectment warrant. I was ac-
=ponied by the agent. I read the authority to de-
findant. He most pointedly refused to obey it. I
ten put the things (furniture) out of the house, but
mild not persuade him to leave. Directly I put my hand
him be struck me on the chest. Hundreds of persons,
sincipally women, gathered round the doorway, and
anctly I appeared there with him they pushed him back
and told him not to go. Fearful of a serious disturbance,
Isent for assistance, desired another constable to fetch
he prisoner out, and was at length compelled to keep the
passage from the door clear with a staff. I used every
persuasion, and was at last obliged to use force.
Ganlner, 154 N, the constable alluded to, said—Pri-
seer resisted most pertinaciously—screwed himself into
srners of the rooms—clung to the window sills—tore the
nil of my uniform coat nearly off, and finally kicked me
lout the legs. No doubt he was incited to much of this
I the mob.
Prisoner remarked that being a quarterly tenant he
slieved that he hail no right to leave until he had received
,proper notice ; the warrant officer had certainly shown
ad read to him the ejectment.
The Magistrate said that alone should have been deemed
efficient. A resistance to the law could not nor should
tot be quietly pawed over. Possibly the prisoner might
we acted under the impression he had mentioned, and as
sobably a foolish crowd of pennons hail influenced him
sere emoted no desire to punish him severely for this;
fence, but the warrant officers must be protected in the
alfilment of their duties. He mustpay a fine of 10s. and
cats, or suffer seven days imprisonment.
Prisoner complained that he could not find one of his
corking tools or any of his work, all appeared scattered to
le winds.

Thellagistrate remarked that such was the result of the
