LONDON SESSIONS.

Before the RECORDER, ALDERMEN, and g COM.

Neon Jury.

En KING V. CHARLES SISIMONDS.

This was an incitement against the DeTentisni„
• youth •bout fourteen yeArs of age, the von of M.
Sissantoods, of Ilulborits.hill, silversmith, fo► entice
▪ dog on Lewis Hart, by means of which he •a,
severely bitten.
The este for the proseculiou was stated to the
Jury by Mrs ALLEY, who called the following
witnesses.

Lewis Had examined—l live in Duke-street,
Aldguite, with my father, who keeps a euuk'a ,bor.
Igo out with pens and peacils for rale. Oit t 11.•
Stl of Jane I was coining from Holborn-hill to-
wards Fleet-market, when yoong Simmouds (thr
D. fetichist) hit me over the head auk a hag, sate:;;,
" You Jew thief, what have you been otraiii
there ?" I had a parcel of pens on niy shoulder.
I replied, "That is no concern of yiniro." A bay
who was passing
,by said to him, " What ate yon
insulting that boy for I he mid nothing to you.
Don't let me are you touch him again." On n lath
the Defendant replied, " I'll shew you that I can
serve both you and him worse," and pointing nil!,
his band, he said to a dog who was statidnig by
him, •' Fetch him," touching. me at the same time ;
the dog immediately flew at me, dragged me
the ;pound, and bit a piece out of my belly. I
screamed, and the murket.people came to my as.
'admire. Defendant then said, " Now fetch the
other," pointing to the other boy, and the dog im.
mediately jumped at him, and lore the at off his
head, mid nearly tore it to pieces. I teas thin taken
to the Defendant's father to show what had beet,
done to me by the dog. A chair was requested for
me, but he said, " Pooh ! pooh ! take him away,
have children enough of my own," and eilded, " I
keep that dog as a protection fur my children."
I was afterwards put iu a coach and oaken home,
and a surgeon sent for.
Cross-examined by Mr. Pidt.t.irs.—The other
boy's name is Samuels; I was nut acquainted with
him before; I did not pinch the Defendant nor
square in his face; I was carried to Mr. Simmonds'
shop; it is at the top of Holborn-hill.
The Prosecutor appeared in delicate health, and
small of his age, but gave his testimony with re-
markable clearness and precision._ _ _

J. Samuels sworn audexamined.—l am fourteen
years of age ; 1 was coming by Fleet-market on
the 3d June, sod saw the Defendant hit the Prose-
cutor over the bead with a bag. I heard hits sly,
" Yes Jew thief, what have you been stealing
there ?" The other replied, " What concern is that
of jour's ?" I said to him, " Why can't you leave
that boy alone ? don't you touch him again." Ile
said, " Don't you be saucy, or I'll serve him and
you worse." He then said to the dug, which was
close by, " Fetch him," and the dog flew on hint
and lan him, palling him on the ground, he hal-
looed out and all the people came about hon. Ile
then said, " Fetch hint." and the dog jumped ar
me and tore of my hat. Neither of us had af-
fronted him in the least. The people came about,
and a man carried him away to the boy'. father.
Cross-examined by Air. PUeLLIPS.—! never Ilso
Hart before ; 1 was not eating currants with him.
Wm. Nankerville, who keeps a stall in Fleet-
market, stated, that as lie was fetching some brrr
from the public-house he saw the boy setting the
dog at the oilier. He saw the dog far; eii ou I
but being called away to attend his business, he
did not see any farther.

Nathan Coiostadt, the surgeon who attended tla.
Prosecutor. stated, that one wound was on the
groin an inch in leugth and half an inch to depth.
There were also two places on the abdomen with
marks of teeth; be had requested she lad's father
to go and fetch the deg that he might examine
him; but it was refused to be sent. Fie scut a
second time with his card, and requested that the
dog might be sent, but it was refused. and
its consequence he was obliged to uoe couotte to t 1..•
sores. The boy suffered a great dral of pain, ass.)
he attended him fur three weeks. If Ilse dog !rid
been seat, the boy would have been well in half the
time.

Hart, the father of the Prosecutor, WIN next ei-
•mined, and he proved having beets twice fur the
dog, which woe refts►ed. Mr. Sousnousis (ilse fa-
ther of the Defend:lm) told him tlt,st the do wag
a ferocious dog, and if he spoke loud in the shop
the dog would fly at him.
On his cross-examination he said, that Mr. Sim-
moods said any body might examine the dog their ;
he was then playing with the children, and nothing
*as the metier with him.

Mr. C. Plitt.t.tes addressed the Jury for the De-
fendant, and stated that he should tall %guru...sae,
who would completely contradict the story they had
heard. After commenting at some lengih on the
'improbability of that story, he procerded to call
his witnesses,.

Joseph Griffiths, who lived with • fruiterer in
Fleet market at the time the transaction took place,
gave his account of it, which differtd in many re..
specie from that given by the witnearce for the pro-
secution, bet either from natural rtupielity or
knavery, he prevaricated so strongly, and contra-
dicted hurarelf so glaringly. that the Recorder mot,
than once reminded hnu of the discoidant vtatt
ment he had made. and asked him by which
would abide.

William Killick, who keeps a fruit-stall in the
market, swore that Hart, the Prosecutor, awl the
witness, Samuels, had been together, and bought
souse currants at Itis shill, and that he had fie-
quently seen them togrtlirr.
John Lockinton Suninends, the father 'of the
Defendant was examined. He stated that lie now
keeps u silversmith's shop, though he lc rmerly kept
a pawnbroker's opposite where he now Itsts. Hr
recollected Hart (the father) calling on hun after
the accident, but he did not bear hint say/hut hr

and that was the reason lie did not send the (kg.
