The Prisvecittrix was ralter a pretty little girl,

ing Sunday, she went out about six o'clock in the
eveniag, and was returning between teu and eleven
at night, wh-n she in-I the l)efendant at Pimlico ;
he took hold of her hand, and would not let
her go, till a young man, who was in company
with her, interfered; the Defendant abtised him,

and they were going to tight alystit her ; however,
they did nor, and then all agreed to retort' together ;
they stopped to talk for about a% hoer, when they
perceived a fire at a distance, and they agreed to go
and look at it. (This was on the eight the Royal
Circus was burn^d). She went !ionic, and soon atter
the Defendant sent a young woman to inform her
he wanted to speak to her. She accordingly went nut,
without her bonnet, and they walked together as far
as Pimlico. Four of them were together at this time,
and the Defendant seemed to wish her to turn with

him; and, while the rest went to the fire, the De-
fendant and she were left together. Ile then
attempted to take same indecent liberties with her.
at the same dine making use of very improper ee-
pressions. Sh screamed out loudly, and a woman
came up, upon which the Defendavt let her
go ; she returned home, holted the door after her,
and went to hed. The oe/indent aforwaris came
by, whistling. It was about one or two o'clock in
the meaning when she :eached home ; her father
and mother were in bed ; the Awn' was on the latch,
and a gentleemmen who slept with her iet her in.
The Detendant was an intimate friend of h,•: bre-
ther's, and she hod known him a lied:. The .text
morning ..he told her father and mother what had
happened, and a warrant was taken out against the
Daleadant.
Upon her cross-examination by Mr. Acres, she
sa'l, the place .where he made the attempt sees a
good way from her father's house. eilie met tie
-Defendant coming from his mother's. there weie
three men, and one young wornanial mg with th-m.
attempted to kiss her ; but she did not throw n
arms about him to kiss him. S'te admitted .he did
tam Jo her any personal injary. She drink a little
ale at a public honse, in the coarse of the evening.
She went to a second pahlie-house, and had a glass
o rum, but was nst sure she took any gin also.
They likewise went to tie warcli-hoese, when the
publicans were all shut up, in order re get sum., li-
quor, but came away without any. They ropied for
some time, talking at the Red I.ion„ She was not
drunk, but s, the' iod knew witat she was about.
The girl who was :.1 their company she laid known
fir four years, ant.: heard she had a bad chareaer,
and was a woman of the town.
An old woman deposed, that on the fright of the
fire at the Circus, the noise of the drums alarmed
her ; she got up to the window, and heard& female
voice crying out, and making use of some passionate
exteess'o is; a man's voice answered, hut she could
not tell what he said ; she called out " what is the
matter r' as loud as she could, anti they ran away.
Mr. ALLEY. for the Defendant, add: essed the
Court and Jury in a very able speevh of great
length.,
. John Nightingale, and another yonng man, who
were of the pally, on the night already mention -d,
stated, that the Prosecutrix was with two other
young men, when she perceived the Defendant
corning up. She ran up to him, threw her arms
about his neek• and said, " D—n my eyes Jem,
Warwick, come and give us a drink." Tuey
had drank ale, porter, rum, and gin, in the
course of the night together, of which the Prosecu-
trix partook her fair share. She Appeared to be in-
toxicated, and repo 'redly asked Nightingale, could
he make it convenient, as his wire was abroad, to
let her and Jem Warwick have a bed ii. his house
tor the night. They had heard her spoken of as a
girl of loose char.oler.
The CHAIRMAN shortly charged the Jury, who
instantly brought in a verdiCt of acquittal.
WaPefutr. nNriwr.q.
.Inntce Endless was indiaed for assaulting James
Spratt.
The parties were both barbers, and opposite
neighbours, residing in Wapping. On the day
stated in the indictment, aecording to the evidence
I the Prosecutor, three sailors came down the
street, and turned into the Prosecutor's shop, in
order to have the necessary operation of shaving
performed, when, at that very moment, the Defend-
alit crossed the street, and, addressing the jolly tars,
said. " Come, my lads, I can shave you better:*
At which the sailors went over to the Defend-
era's shop. Nettled at this, the Prosecutor
crossed the street, and accused the other of
taking away customers fauns a neighbour ; and
having detnenstraied with him upon this subjell for a
'short came, he returned home to his mystic ditty. In
the evening, the neighbours were eidiredoo! them
strongly ; some abuse was renewed on cacti Side the
parties met half way in the street. end the Defend-
ant struck the Prosecutor twice ; his wife came to
his assistance, and the Defendant bit her arm. In
answer to this, the Defendant (who was an oi :nor.
and had previously told the Court, that he a.,:ted as
his own counsel) said, that the Prosecutor had
abused himself, his wife, and daughter, vei y much ;
be told him he was not fit ro hold a candle to him,
that he never was in the Birdcage-walk, nor had
ever been transported for stealing a great coat, and
many other opprobrious eipr. 'thong relating to his
wife ; he denied having ?track the Prosecutor, but,
on the contrary, the latter gave him a blow in the
stomach, tram which he suffered severely.
To this the Prosecutor replied, that he accused
him of taking his customers, but did not say one
word of such ctriimed loppage, and only went over
to as e,l9olistrat. with hint.
Ihe Defendant made a long harangue in his de-
fence. Ile said the three sailors were his old cu.-
towers, and he only spoke to them in their own

. .
tongue, (Danish) ; they all k::ew him, ar.d czMe
volunrari:y to his ship.
The Jury finind a verdii of Guiles, and th, De.
faidaat was fined one shilling, and disc:urged.

SEMIN tit Y DISCIPLINE.
Caows and reloup acre inlil33 for
3n 3%satilv on Thomas Bulling.

The Prosecutor. who was a young man, rather of
genteel Appearance, had been the WI king Master at
the Rev. Mr. Shaw's Szrninary. at Edmonton :
the Defendant, Carpal', seas the French Assistant,
and Master Connop one of the Pupils of the School.
The Prosecutor intimated to the Court, that he
shoull ple.sd his own cause ; his attorney was indis-
posed, and he could I,lof afford to emplay Counsel
Oa the Saturday mentioned in the indi,2ment, some
of the young gentlemen of the schtail, by way of
Punishment, were ordered to get their tables, which
dire were to repeat to him, and he had orders not to
suffer any of them to go out till they had done so ;
they became extremely boisterous, and very violent
and abusive towards him ; one of them wanted to
go out before he had said hi; tables, which he re-
fused ; at t h:tt moment, the Defendant, Carpet', came
into the school-room and let the boy out ; he remon-
strated with him, but the answer was a blow frorn CAI -
pats, which precipitated him, on his head, across the
desk; and, at that moment, Connop came up and
dragged him by the collar to keep him down. rite
boys left their seats, and began to haze.' over him
in triumph. lie ad led, that the boys fret:e-nay
threatened hi; life; they tried to rise up against
him with sticks, and often swore they would put
him into the river; in consequence of this he was
obliged to give up his situation.
On his cross examination, he said, Master Salter
wanted to go out without saying his table< ; he did
carted the boys with a cane. He could not sty
what he brat Salter with. It might be a whip ; lie
struck him first with the lash, and, perhaps, he 1..-at
him with lash and handte together. Idle boys cried,
a shame! shame I" He was authorised to carrel

them by Mr. Shaw. Salter's lather did not threaten
to indict him for the ill treatment of bis son. lie
,wily wished he had had his revenge of them all, and
heAtkm them saundly. He wail no; dionosaa by Mr.
Shasi, but they a7ree..! he sieintld g 1 away.
Master John Jalat, and some other young Gen-
tlenaen of the S:11901, w ,re called on by the Nose-
color, to corrol,n, to his testimony; but their evi-
dence only tended to saew the malignant disposi-
tion'of Cie Prosecutor himself, in his tmatalcondua
towards the boys.
The Defence was, that the Proiecntor having used
too great soornity towards Master Salter, the De-
' fendant,Carp.au, assisted by Connnp, interfered, and
let Salter not of school ; the Pi-oil:come brushed

past Carpau with some violence, which, the latter
resisting, he threw him over the table.
Several of the young Gentlemen were called to
support this defence ; among whom was Master Sal-
teron interesting and anim.ttedboy,about 14 years of
age. He srated,that having gone up to the Prosecutor
to say his tables, the lattet received him with a blow
in the face, which knocked him down. Upon his
requesting to be heard, a second time, that he might
go out, the Prosecutor ant only refused to hear him,
bat beat him with the lash nt his whip ; he next
doubled it round his wrist, aal struck him violently
with the handle, till it broke ; and then seisingalarge
archer's how, which he unstrung, he WAS At:.icking
the witness wii;i tois desperate weapon, when Mr.
Carpau entered the schi.ol-room, and desired he
would desist ; upon which the Prosecutor, wolt his
elbow a-kimbo, brushed past hint with violence,
wh:ch Carpan resisting, the former tell Gver :;.edesks.
`SI/it-less had received fro ,+ • beating several vvere
bruises, which remained r eight days after.
Mr. Sh.tw said, ties he never permitted any of his
assistants to chastise his r•yils. Ile dismissed the
Prosecutor, for the viol, ace of his concha, the Mon
day tollowing.

The Cu Anima', in charging the Jure, regretted
that this case should ever come before the public. or
that the Prosecutor should have made such an exhi-
bition of himself in a court of justi e.
the Jury immediately arquitird both tlir Defend-
ants, and the boys retired in triumph.
