These were the words, as nearly as he catild recollect.. W•r-

Compter for an officer.
The worthy Magistrate (Alit. Raging-ELL) then addressed
the Prisoner. He mid, he felt extremely sorry for, the un-
fortunate situation in which he stood. He was, leiwever.
happy to learn from the certificate which had bees that
his wife was 0111 of danger. He would remand the Prisoner
till Saturday next, when the Prisoner's wife would, in all
probability. be able to attend, and the Bench would dispo-e
of the case as fir as they could inlet fere.
The Prisoner bowed and retired.—His brother, a respect-
able-looking man, stood by him: the marainaliim he.,

The Prisoner was remanded.
Jan Firming and Thomas F7voing appeared to a sum-
mons served on the part of a yomoz man named llarsilim.
Marsden stated, that he is an apothecary in the service
of Mr. Dale, of Holborn. The Flemings are both brothers,
and nephews to Mr. Dale. John Fleming is in the implo,_
meat of his uncle ; Thomas is nut. 'flumes has hero in the -

hour, until his brother John's returning. On those occasions
he repeatedly ill-treated witness. He had been in the habit
of abusing him; and on Monday night he repeated the
abuse ; he challenged witness to fight ; and on egmodonie.
iug with him, he gave witness a violent blow.
This statement was supported by the evidence of a young
man of the name of Dale, who is also the nephew, sod in
the employment of Mr. Dale, of Holborn.
Thomas Fleming mid, that he has been frequently abus-
ed by Mr. M 011141131; that lie considered it very unhandsome
treatment to receive in his uncle's house ; that oil the night
in question he was provoked by the ill latiguage of the Com-
plainant, and he struck him. He knew he acted wrong ;ha
took the law into his own hand, and he was extremely sorry
for it ; but in a moment of irritation, he only yielded 10 the
infirmities of his nature. •
Alderman Bothwell—You certainly have acted eatremely
wrong—you have intruded into the house of Mr. Dale, end
you have assaulted this young man. I can have au doubt
of the truth of his statement.
John Fleming was next brought up. •
