the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having violently
assaulted no fewer than eight cotuitabtes of the D
three of whom are most seriously injured. A surgeon's cer-
tificate was produced to that effect, and it set forth that they
were at the present time incapable of going upon duty.
The evidence went to show that the prisoner was taken
into custody in Bell-areet, Lisson-grove, for being drank
and disorderly, and that when laid hold of by Cotter-
mole, 36 D, he gave him • tremendous blow on the had,
" Take that you b—," and exhibiting a knife,
threatened to do for him. He (prisoner) then
made his etiospe, and ran into a Donee in Chapel-street, but
directly rushed down stairs with a poker in his hand, and
with it aimed a desperate Wow at Clitterntole's head, who put
up his arm to save himself, and received an injury of a se-
vere nature on the wrist Prisoner then went again to his
own room, and on the oonetable and other °Cheery, many of
whom had arrived, endeavouring to capture him, he threw at
them bricks, heavy irons, &c., and with the fury of a mad-
luau attacked them with the poker, a hod-handle, and other
formidable weapons. He wee et length, after a most despe-
rate reetstenos, overpowered and conveyed to the station-
house.

The prisoner, who by the advice of Me solicitor Theodor]
guilty, was committed to the Brume of Correction for four
month,. being rue month for each of four assaults.

the area on the morning of the robbery which took plea 05

about the same time..

The prisoner was veinal° custody on Saturday last by the

severe! most respectable 'edema, who ',poke to the excellent
morel character of Mr. Probert, and proved that he was at
home, on his farm, on the morning of the 3rd inst., the day
of the robbery.
Mr. Orange, for the proateutlon, said that he really could
not hold out, nor would he attempt to do so, against the
evidence in favour of the prisoner which had been adduced.
There was no vindictive foaling in connexion with the pri-
soner being charged, and be would not have been taken to
the station-house if the servant girl had not spoken posi-
tively es to his identity.
Mr. Herriag, in an able address, contended that an alibi
had hen clearly made oat, and that his client was entitled to

Mr. Broughton, after many remarks upon the case, canto
to the concloxiou that en alibi bad been clearly and @Slider-
tnrily eatabhahed, and he should therefore discharge the
prisoner.

stolen. now said that, from what he had heard while in
curt, the person accused was innocent. His servant gave
him into custody herself being quite =dialed, at the period
of her doing so that the could not be mistaken. He (Mr.
Stradth) said that he bad been threatened with an action
but he maid not imagine how any action could be brought
inamnuch as hie servant gave the in
=heresif, being quite sure, at the time she did so, that
the was sating perfectly right.
Mr. Herring—With regard to the threatened actke you

you have realised thereof will turn out to be no joke.
