roar'y that sum: but in consequence of the deceased's husband
Ineritrg been transported, the right or title to the property became
somewhat affected, and the parties could not take out admihistration
without the permission of the Court ; therefore the Doctor read the

ASSAULT.
ROW-STREET.—Isnac Darin, that chubby, red-faced. imperti-
nent boy, who ta•tons for Mr. Saunders, the old clothes' salesman,
at the corner of Holy well-atreet, Strand, was brought up on a charge
of assault on Joseph George, a servant.
Joseph George mated that as he was passing through Holywell-
street, yesterday, the ptisoner took 1141 of him, and asked him to
buy a coat ; the prosecutor wrested his hand from him, and struck
him, whereupon the prisoner struck him in the fate. This brought
Mr. Saunders oat, as lie was speaking to the prosecutor, the
prisoner struck hint again twice.
Mr. Saunders mine turward to explain the circumstance, but

there were complaints every tiny from persoos who were annoyed in
that street ; that old clothesmen were not at all warranted in sum.
ping people. and ordered the prisoner to give bait.
Mr. Saunders offered himself essecttrity, but Mr. Minshull would
not take him without another, as he was interested. The office was
at this time full of persons who felt themselves interested in this
ease, and a general sensation of gladness was manifested at the re-
sult. Several persons declared that Holywell-atreet was • common
nuisance, and that they would make any sacrifice to have it cleared
of ohl clothesniett.
Mee. Hastia,gs, who had been brought up last week on a charge
of having stolen some Prope belonging to !Hr.. Dolway, of 'Ken.
aington, while attending that lady on her dcath•bed„ was this day
brought up for re-examination, and was attended by Mr. Harmer a
clerk, as a Solicitor.
The evidence which we gave on a former occasion was read over.
It consisted in a ten-pound note and twenty-four sovenigns having
been traced to her possession, after the decease of Mrs. Bolivar; but
how she came by it, she, by the advice of her Solicitor, declined to
explain.
There being no evidence that any part of the shove sum belonged
to the deceased, she was remanded until this day week, to give the
prosecutors an opportunity of identifying it.
WOWSKI AND THE TAILOR.
Mr. Char lee klanintrr„ a clerk in a mercantile house in the
City, and Mr. David King, who, in announcing his occupation
gave the invariable description used by his fraternity—" A nth;
toy bark, your Worship!" implying that he not was bred, not born,
• tailor, were,placed vino-vis this morning, in presence of Mr. Al tat-
auttar.„ the sitting Magistrate, charged by Johnson, a watchman
in the Stt mi. with having done their best to break the King's peace
and each other's heads.
Mr. Johnson's evidence was singularly brief and pithy. Ile was
passing Atundel.street lest night. when he heard'` a quarrel, but
nothing wherefore." Holding up his lantern, he beheld the two
defendants engaged in active warfare, while two Jumada, a white
and a black one, stood looking on. 11!r. Johnson, immediately
pouncing like a hawk upon a couple of fighting.cock.sparrows, at
once put air end to • the combat, by taking one in each talon, and
carrying them to the watch.l l se.
" Well, gentlemen," said his Worship, " and now pray what
was all this shout f"
1 " Why, Sir," said Mr. Phimmer. " i was coming along the
1 Strand last night, in'company with a lady of my accputintince—."
1 But as Mr. Plummer was rather long-winded, we shall take the
liberty of abridging his account of the affair, which was one of those
that so often prove the truth of the poet's remark—
' " 'What dire offence from ainourmui causes springs!"
Suffice it to say, Mr. Plummer had La Dame Blanche on his arm.
when he was aware of the sailor marching along, and gallanting an-
other lady, whose sable beauties.
• "'Black as linnes Matchlese. did the night resemble,"
when his own fair one—alas ! as tickle as fair—entered into a col.
loquy with his ninth part of a rival, and showed evident symptoms
of going over to the enemy. Mr. David King not only encouraged
the denater, contrary to all laws of war and good manners, but re.
membering, perhaps, that " exchange was no robbery," was for
substituting his ebon paramour, in order to console Mr. Plummet
fur the Inns of his lily-white charmer. But Mr. Plummer was slot
to be dune in this way; nor did he, as he himself most poetically
expressed it, feel at all inclined to " pan with Ids rose for a Week •
thorn." A word or two of remonstrance to the marauding tailor
! roared all the fiery indignation for which that ,genes ierilabile is
I Prost:tine. The word was resented by a blow, and " ion they
cent like lightning," when Mr. Johnson's interferenceatoppQd the
fray.
li is Worship seeing how matter% stood, after reprimanding Mr.
Plummer for his little allegorical flight, which, however creditable
to his fogey, was a little out of place before a Magistrate, ordered
them to be bound over in mutual utopias ees, and to find bail to.
keep the peace towards each other and all the King's lieges, for
want of which they were consigned to the temporary surveillance or
Ford. Both the fair and dingy causes of this disaster were after.
wards consigned to the same place of durance for subsequent mis.

GARDEN ROBBERIES.

Qtrxxx-sgu eitTerda; JohaChapman and William
Mmis, two lads between 13 and 11 years of age. were brought
up in the custody of Allen, constasle of the tigeateee district,
Chelsea, both charged with stealing frith from the garden of Mrs.
Barnstaple, the ntateon of the Lunatic Asylum, in Chelsea.
George Goddard. a servant in the Asylum, now deposed, that
about twelve o'clock yesterday morning. sense person rang at the
gate. and informed him that two boys were scaling the garden-wall.
He immediately acquainted his rutstrese of the tact, who 'desired
him to search the garden. He found the two boys in the garden,
and took them to the watch-house, where they were Searched. •
William Allen, who searched the prisoners at the watch-house,
deposed to his Boding on their persons ten pears anti are apple,
which were now produced.
Both the young depredators wept buterly, and promised to do so
no more.
Mr. Wurrs—Let them be sent to the House of Correction foe
fourteen days.
Chapman's mother, who is a poor laundress, here stepped for-
ward, and implored mercy for her child, as is was his Snit offence.
Mr. WIt!TT-1 am sorry I cannot attend to you; it will serve
as an example to others.
The boys were then taken sway, while Chapman's tootheesp-
pared in great distress of mind.
DEFRAUDING THE REVENUE.
MART.BOROVGII STRECT.—Yesterday Mr. and 'MM. 'Nor-

them, with unlawfully receiving and harbouring four Chins crape
handkerchiefs and three cards of blond lace, the game being of fo-
reign manutaeture, and not having paid the ditty on importation.

fore the Solicitor for the Customs said he should proceed for the
full penalty, 1001 , which it was in the discretion of the Magistrates '
to n'iitflate to toil. had it not been for 3 former conviction he
should only have proceeded for thrice the value of the property
seized, about 15/., the articles nat being worth more than bl. or 61.
Mr. 11AR ME: n attended for the defendants.
John Croelen is an officer of the Customs. in consequence of
information he received that the defendants had contrahatid goods
in their possession, on the nth of July he went to tneir house in
Berwick-street to search. Ile saw Mrs. Nordern, asked for her

lodged in her house had gone away in her debt, and left the cads
of blond as part of the money ; the handkerchiefs had been pledged
by het lodger, aha gave her the duptic .I tes as a further compenaa-

COUNTERFEIT COIN.
Mary IlartiFau and Mary Ann Frost were examined on a
charge of uttering counterfeit shillings.
Robert Hunt, a shopkeeper at Knightsbridge, stated that on
Tuestlwy evening Mary Hartigan came into his shop for a three-
penny article, and tendered him a shilling, which he •ukpectetl to
be bad ; he took a knife lying on his counter. and cut a notch in it;
lie threw it towa•ds her, and said, ••• ltlhy hid you tiff r roe that ?
You know it to be a had one." She then took a sixpence trona her

coat and hat, and followed her ; the other prisoner (Frost) joined
her, and both went into Wr. Haley's, in Knightsbridge; lie there

they watched them into the Running Horse public house. They

Ihurn-street, Frost threw two shillings down an area, which had
been picked up sinus

shilling she did not know wits bad.
They were remanded till Saturday, and notice desired to be
given to Mr. Powell, the ;solicitor for the Mint.
ATTEMPT AT RAPE.
Thomas Firming, a tall young Irishman„was brought in bytlook
and Avis, for a brutal attempt Oa Mrs. Bridget Ann Colloughby,
the wife of a mechanic Laing in St. Ann's-court, Soho.
The prisoner is a shoemaker, and related to the proserutrix. The
offer ce was committed last Friday afternoon; a warrant was issued
Inc his apprehension, bat when Avis went to apprehend hiiti, the
prisoner made his escape over the tops of the houses. Gook having
a description of him, found him at the City of London public
house in Rerwick-street. Not haying his pistols with hint, to inn.
'niidate the prisoner, Honk unscrewed the handle. of his constable's
staff; ran furiously at Fleming with what appeared to be the muitzle
of a pistol, presented it at his breast, collared him, and swore it;,
perately, that if lie did not quietly softest', r he would blow the
head off his shoulders! The prisoner came 'thing as quietly gas a
lamb. He was already under sureties for the payment of a weekly
stipend for the maintenance of an illegitimate child.
Mrs. Colloughby said the prisoner is cousin-in-law to her, and
frequently conic tone her and her husband. Last Friday. between
4 and 5 in the afternoon, he came and sent for a quartern of gin.
of which she took but a small portion ; he sat with her for shout an
hour, while she did some ironing, talking of family affairs; her
irons were in the lire and she was giving before ii, with her aim
resting on the chair; he took liberties with her, pulled her and the
chair down, tore her clothes and bruised her ; she called for her
landlady is well as she had power, when the prisoner threatened to
web lice if she• told her husband, or any b dv ; lie then left the
place; she sass so much exhausted that she laid on her bed, leaving
the thing•eas they were.
51 fS. Down, the landlady, went into the prosecutrix's room about
an hour after the transaction • she told her the prisoner had been
there, and how he hail abused (ter; she was lying helpless on the
bed, her cap off, her clothes torn. and the irons in the fire.
The ptisoner 'node a most disgusting and Improbable defence;
he said he had. possessed her at Mr Burke's, in the Tritwy,
five years ago; that she ass in the habit of getting (hunk, and sent
for him ; that they had a pint and a quartern of gin last Friday ;
and that she was jealous on account of his bastard child.
Mr. llTta.—Stipaose that to be all true, which Ido not believe
one wool of, that is no tumidity your forcing a woman against her
inclination. I believe it to be an invention of your own to set the
husband against his wife.
The wife protested that his statement was wholly false; there had
been but one quartern of gin, of which she took but a small portion
in a glass.
The husband 'Raid he did not believe one word of what the
prisoner Ind uttered.
Mr. DYER ordered him to find sureties, himself in 1001. sod two

Mr. BALLANTINE said nothing could justify such coednet to a

hiought up to this office the day brtor... except Curtis, en a charge
of having assaulted three officers of the (tort of Requests, attended
before the Sitting Magistrate, N. SWASEY, Esq. for the purpose of
eat:steering the charge alleged against them, the circumstances of
which we have already detailed.
On the defendants' entrance into the office, the Magistrate re-
primendett Curtis for not attending to the warrant that had been
served upon tam by Ora:smith, the officer Ile observed, that in
core eguence of hie (Curtis'e) non-atten once the case wan obliged
to be peetponett, to the inconvenience of all the parties concerned.
" The Pet of the Fancy" most humbly apologized for not attend ng
cl`on the previous day, saving, Your d orship, I was compelled to
leave town, and I confess it was to tire the " turn up" down in
Hertfordshire, between Sharpe sod Reid, but 1 hope you will for-
give me. Sir, and I am very sorry—very sorry, indeed, that any
bueineesshould have been posaponed on my account.
The Magiett ate was satisfied with the •• Pee." apology, and gave
him a word or two of advice me to the necessity in future of his re-
linquishing every other bueitiess, particularly in the fighting line,
when a warrant was issued against him.
The complainants then repeated their precious statements of the
inimults committed upon them by the defendants, and produced
ionic of their clothes stained with blood, as evidences of the violent
conduct pursued towards them on the 2Setli of August.
Stalidieh was now called upon to state what defence he had to
make for committing so violent an assault upon the officers of the
Court of Regards. Ile declared the whole of the facts were grossly
.exaggerated ; and said, that on the day in question, as he was re-
turning home over Itotherhithe bridge, the complainants, whom he
knew to be officers of the Court of Reqtrests, &watched him. and
intimated that they had an execution against him toe dr. at the
suit of one Saunders. On being informed of the business, he wan
anxious to settle it on the spin, but nut having sufficient in fits
pocket at the time, he requested them to accompany him to his
house, where the demand should forthwith be discharged. " No,"
said they, "we won't ; pay us now, or we shall soon make you."
Standish exclaimed that it was hard they should riot agree to step
as far as his house for his accommodation ; but they refused to
listen to any terms, and proceeded to drag him along like a common
felon. Some of his (the defendant's.) friends, alto happened to be
at a short distance from the spot, and observing the scandalous
manner in which he was teeniest, came forward, and even offered to
pay the debt themselves tether than see him abused ; but all their
:edits and solicitations had no effect upon the complainants, who
dragged him about, tore the coat off hie back, until he at length
broke loose from them and entered his house. He was followed
there by his adversaries, who conducted themselves more like men
in pursuit of a murderer, than in the perferntaece of s process I
'against a man for a debt. When in the house, his (Standish's)
site repeatedly offered to pay them whatever moiteylthey demanded ;
but her offers were also rejected, and Richards (one of the cm-
pfainantee, in particular, showed every disposition to ecrite a Ma-
turbance, in outlet, 11% he declared, to pull him (the defendant) up
to this office. Standish declared that it was all a matter of spite
.against him on the part of the officers; that it wax not his money I
'they wanted, but himself. With respect to the complainants as.
fleitiollB of being threatened with flinging them over the bridge.
'there was not one word of truth in it; neither was it true that they
(the defendants) had beaten them in the manner described. The.
disturbance was entirely attributable to the intemperate conduct of 1
!the officers of the Court of Requests; mid he added, that he had
witneases of respectability in attendance, who would prove that
'fact.
Mr. SWABEY observed, that very gross assaults were sworn to on
the part of the complainants; and as he watt not trying the MR;
the witnesses that the defendants had to bring forward might appear
in their behalf at the Sessions.
The other defendants were then hidiviliaally asked whether they
wished to teay anything. They replied in the affirmative, and cad)
of them declared Most solemnly that the officers of the Court of
Requests were the aggressors. The Pet of the Fancy gave Iris
word of honour that he never lifted his hand against the officers—
that he was merely a spectator. near where the disturbance took
place, to witness a MC, and that the complainants, knowing him
to be a public man, fixed upon him.
The Magistrates ' (31. SWAB E Y and D. Klx a, Esqrs.) having
consulted together, decided that Standish should enter into his
own recognizance in the sum of 401. and the rest of the defend.
