on the IGIh of August, with a considerable number of
oilier persoos, riotously assembled at Kiiighisbridge,
ama committlng an assault on Francis Dalicat. This
prosecutiuti was instituted by the Lords of the Treasury,
and conducted by Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Watford,
and the defence was conducted by Mr. Alley. The fol-
lowing evidence was called ou behallof the prosecution :
Joseph Fleck, a trumpeter of the Ist regiment of Life
Guards, deposed to his having been at the Brown Bear
public-house, Knightsbridge, on the day Milled in the
Indictment, when the funeral of Honey and Francis was
passing; it was about seven o'clock; onne of tile parsons

his medal torn front his breast; sonic other soldiers res-
cued him, and he was taken into the barracks, leaving

racks were broken after AlderniatiWaitliman had ordered
the stainers into their barracks. He reined towards

Mr. Alley, whether the windows were broken before or
att<iwaids—the witness (Taylor) said before; then, said -
the learned Comisel, " There is nething like swearing
tatinigli a Mick wall;"—for the witness had stated him-
stated himself to hate been standing at the barrack gate.
'fins heitig the case fur the proaccution, Mr. Alley
commenced the defence. The learned counsel cen-
sured the gross immorality of bringing this prosecution
forwatd at the length of tune months, and ridiculed the
idea of a " Waterloo" mats coining there to complain of
a slap on the cheek. After declaring it to be a mere
quetatun which they ought to look at, as between a sea-
aenger and lamplighter, and decide accordingly,

dict Not Guilty.: ais was received with loud ex-
pos:Mit' of satisfaction by a very crowded court.

Howell's foreman, not his partner, and had no property
in the clothes lie delivered to the defendant.
Mr. Adolphus, who was cowls?' for the defendant,
ttibutitted to the court that 'lure was An end of the case.
