further answer the charge of committing a serious assault
upon a respectable married woman named Frances Young,

passing in a carriage on the return from Epsom races on
the Derby Day.

On this occasion Mr. Haynes appeared to pewecute. He
stated that the prisoner had been remanded or the attend-
ance of the complainant, who was severely injured. He
thought it was a case for compensation, but as en offer
bad not been made by the prisoner, he should proceed to
put the complainant in the witness-box.
The complainant, who appeared very weak, was allowed
to sit in a chair while giving her evidence. Shp stated that
her name was Frances Young, and she resided at Tooting.
On the 16th of May she was looking at persons returning
from the races when something struck her on the head.
She was stunned by the blow and remained insensible until
the next day. She bad been under the care of a doctor ever
since. She was still suffering from the effects of the injury.
The prisoner called a witness, who merely proved that he
did not see him throw the bottle.

Mr. Ingham maid that as no compensation had been
offered he should send the prisoner for trial.
The prisoner was locked up in default of finding two
sureties for his appearance.

" Ryres v. the Attorney-General," the Chief Baron amused
himself by making a fac-simile of one of the documents,
in which the signatures were, at least, as like the real ones
as those contained in the papers produced by the peti.
