ATTU PT AT EXTORTION —TH2 TARLIA TII2N2D.—
A very old gentlem in who gees the lietitions same of
JoAn Jackson, at the sta4on-hone, wen charged with haying
assaulted Joseph Braudell.
The substance of Braudell's story was, that while looking
Into a shop window in tiecomiam'cro 9.„ the prisontr had
acted with gross impropriety towards him, and that on
meeting a pillow a listable he gave ptiaoner into custody.
A companion of the prosecutor, name Wren, corroborated
this statement.

The prisoner said he was a gentleman of independent pro-
perty. H- had only arrived in town the preceding day and
bad taken up his temporary abode at the Tavistock Hotel.
After dining yesterday he walked towards the Haymarket,
taking his way through Hemtning's.row. Seeing sussathing
going on in a shop ha stopped and while standing at the
window he felt somebody preen against one of hie hands,
which was hat ging down. He moved, and again he was
pressed against, end he then walked away. He wen followed
by the first winsome, who asked him what he was going to
stand for what he had done. Me demanded an explanation,
and the witni es said he was not going to allow himself to be
pulled about for nothing. He was indignant at this inainu•
non, and told the witness be would not submit to any suck
attempt ►t extortien—he would give nothing. He tin n
walked on, but finding he was still followed he stepped.
The first witness then told him to come with him into a
public-house and the matter might he settled there without
further trouble. He refused the proposal. The witneu
said he had better di s..methtng, or he must take the
consequences. The witness did not mention t►e word
money," but all his remarks assured him that
his object was money. He asked the wittas if he meant t
threaten him. The witness gave him to understand he
knew the law, and if the matter was not arranged he would
give hint into tlie custody of a policeman. He told the
witness he was ready to go with a constable, and a constable
was then brought and he was taken to the statiou-house.
Toe prisoner admitted he had sot given his correct name at
the station-house, but the police bad been made aware of it,
and he was willing to disclose it if required. The prisoner
then mentioned his name and ►tacion.
Mr. Hardwick said, from the nature of the charge and
the respectability of the occulted, he would inquire a little
into the character of the whams..
Bragdeil was then a xamined.--He was out of a situation.
Had been In various employments, as printer, porter, and
waiter. He then gave an account of his proceedings daring
the day and up to the time when he was assaulted, as he
alleged, by the prisoner.
Wren was oho examined. His account differed mate-
rially from that of Bragelell.
• '

A third portion, named Wright, an acquaintance, was ex-
amined, and hie statement contradicted the star/ of the
other two.

_
Mr. Hardwick said charges like that brought forward
against the eccu.ed were cloy to make and dialcult to
repel. Indepr ndently of the incredible character of some
portions of the evidence, there a ere such macileat discrepan
cies between the statement* of el the three witnesses, and
such direct contradiction of paste of their stories, that he
could not hesitate in stating tes belief that the charge had
b•.en fabricetad for the purpose of extortion. He should
i.:iseharge the prisoner, and bind him over to peosoeste.
Bragdell and Wren were then p:sced at the bar, and the
depositions of the oow•complainant taken.
The comolkinant said his name was not Jackson—it
was Mktg.! Jaaburga, and he resided at Burghwalles
Knaresborough.
The depeeition was in substance the same as the defence.
The prosecutor was bound over to appear again next week.
