SERVANTS:

This case, part heard yesterday, was resumed this
alting% one of the defendants, examined—On the
night in question the plaintiff called at my house and asked
if Mni. Canning was at home. I told him she was gore
away from home and would not be back for some days. I
asked him to come in sod sit down, and he did so. Seca
afterwards the plaintiff said, "Have you got the same two
girls now you bad some time ago!" sod I replied, " Yes."
He asked me if I had "that little black eyed one. I said,
" I do not know the eolour of her eyes, as I never noticed—
(aughter)—but she will be downsoon to weep the hearth ;"
and shortly afterwards she came down, and in a few
minutes I left the room, and on my return I saw
the girl running upstairs, and the plaintiff seemed very
much confused. I sakes d him what be had been doing, and
he said "Nothing." 1 told him be bad, and ordered him
out of my house, but he refused to leave, saying, "lie
would have a kin if he got nothing else," and ran up stain
after the girls—(laughter) —Vary Ann Nash having come in
by that time, and I determined to turn him out. I went
up to Mr. Speocer's house, and on oar return we met with
three other men who agreed to oome and look on, and see
that it was all right. When we entered the house the plain-
tiff got up in • rage, flourished a poker, aid odd be would
strike us with it. Upon that Spencer wrested it from him,
and in the scuffle they fell. I did not see Spencer blacken
the plaintiff's face. I never struck him. 1 never encouraged
the plaintiff to take liberties with the sermiat giri•
Crese-alamined—l never touched the girl when she was
sweepirig up tie hearth. I had three or four glosses of rum
and water that night.
Mr. Hawkins—Who got it for you—was it " the little
black- seed coo?" (Laughter.)
Witarww—l don't know whether she has black armor not.
I near looked.

- Mr. Hawkim—Now, don't be afraid. Xr. Canning. Mrs.
Calming is not hem you know. Jost scratch your bead
and think if it was' the little black-eyed one." (Laughter.)
Witness don't think she did. I think I got it myself ;
but it would not matter if Mrs. Ceasing were here. (Re-
newed laughter.)
Mary Ann Nash examined—l am a servant in Mr. Can.
Ding's employ. On the night in question I met the plaintiff
in the street. He asked me if my mister was at home.
I said no, but my master was. On my retard to the
boom I went upstairs to my fellowmmatit, Elizabeth
Binmod, who told me that the plaintiff had been
running after her. Sometime afterwards he followed
me upstairs, and asked to be let into the mom,
say:ing if be could Rot get anything elm he would have a
has. We made no answer ; sad the plaintiff then got a
ladder and climbed up to the bedroom window. He said,
"If you will not kiss me I will kiss the candle," sod he
blew it out—(Laughter)—at the same time falling or jump-
ing off the ladder. He then came up to the door and asked
us to come down, as he had broken hie collar-boss, upon
which we went down and found it was no snob thing. He
then asked as to sit upon his knee, which we refused.
Cross-szamined--The plaintiff behaved very rashly to me.
Mr. Hawkins—He disturbed your crinoline ? (Laughter.)
Witness—Yes, be did, and put it on. (laughter.) I did
not laush at bim when he had it on. I told him to leave it
aloes. I was sot present when the assault took place.
Mr. Milliard Spicier, the other defendant, was milled, and
stated that the soot got on the plaintiff's face when he
' wrested the poker from him to defend himself from being
struck. Whim they fell the plaintiff hit him, and be
reseed his head spinet hie face to maks him desist.
