sound of the pipe and tabor, and of parties footing
it on the light laatastic toe. Accordingly a party
of officers was sent to the hor- About half-past ten

rough, a pair of sheets and sundry other articles, the
property of Mary IVilliants.

tion, which were found on the person of the pri-
soner by the night constable of St. Veorge's, who
produced them, when they were sworn to by the
prosecutrix.
The prisoner made no defence, and was therefore
fully committed for trial at the assizes.

nington-lane, where they impressed the son of Mr.
Clark, a fishmonger ; the father hearing of it, came
out and attempted to take him front the officers, in
which he (a mob having by this time assembled,)
succeeded, and the s.tat got clear off. In the scab:-
tlw father received a severe blow NC.tit a fist on his
mouth, which dislodged two of hi; teeth.
A number of witnesses, respeaabk neighbours,
were examined 57 the Magistrates, who on hearing
the whole of 'the case, %wee of opinion that the •
officers had conduaed themselves v.--?..11 becoming
moderation ; and that as great allowance must be
made for the feelings of a father who saw his sou,
lately returned home, taken away again from him,
in place of dirtNEting it prosecution fur the rescue,
advised the parties to withdraw and settle their dis-
pute, which was tigreceito.
