TON.-At the Shire-hall, Nottingham, yesterday (Wed-
' neaday), Sir R. J. Clifton, of Clifton-Lill, near Notting-
' ham, and late M.P. for that borough, was summoned before
the sitting magistrates on the charge of assaulting his
gardener, named John Tyers. Mr. Crunch appeared on
behalf of Sir Robert, but he himself was not present. The
facts of the assault are as follow :—On Thursday night
last the complainant, with six other persons in Sir Ro-
bert's employ, took the boat at Clifton, which belongs to
the ball, and aroma the river Trent to the village of
Beeston, on the opposite Ode, and stayed there until very
late. About twelve o'clock the same night Sir Robert
wanted his coachman to take • gentleman to Nottingham
in order to catch the train. He was then informed that
the coachman bad gone to Beeston. About ono o'clock on
Friday morning Sir Robert and the butler took another
boat and crowed over the Trent to the Beeston side.
Almost immediately on landing they mot the complainant
and party returning. Sir Robert commenced by squaring
his fists, and saying if anyone wanted to flghthe waaredy.
He then attempted to strike the keeper named Harrison,
but he got out of his way. Sir Robert then turned to com-
plainant, and said, "Jacky, remember you must be out of
your house by 10 o'clock in the morning." He also said to
the others, "Bring in your accounts tomorrow morning."
Upon this be got into one boat and the butler into the
other, and he said to the men that they must go round by
the Trent-bridge at Nottingham, • distance of 10 miles, to
get to Clifton, as be should not take them over in the boat.
Matters pawed on until Saturday morning, when the com-
tre:int, on retiring from the hall to the village, met Sir
, who said to him, " Remember, you don't go to the
hall any more, and you must deliver up your keys to-day."
Tyers, in effect, said he should want his money before de-
livering up his keys, and upon this Sir Robert struck him
a violent blow on the head, and kicked him. Defendant
afterwards went to complainant's cottage and turned all
his goods into the street. He also compelled Mrs. Tyers,
who was ill in bed, to leave the horse. The complainant
bad been in the employ of the Clifton family more than
48 years. On the application of defendant's solicitor,
the case wee adjourned until Saturday. The court was
crowded.
