MILITARY ',VTR/IL:E.

[From the Leeds Ifesestry.]

coseitTitottsit, IV•ILEFIELD. NAT 19.
In the Merenry of the 29th ult. we gave au ac-
count of a most cruel and unprovoked assault com-
mitted by two military men on the person of Samuel
Cherlesworth. at Overton Toll-bar, near Florhisey,
Tu the West Ruling of this county, by which lie
was PO severely wounded as to excite serious •ppre-
heosions for his life. The friends of the young man,
who are persona of greet respectability. thought it
nine to public justice that a legal investigation
tkould be instituted ; and after reveral delays. the
cruse of which it is not necessary to explain, the
hearing clime on this day at the Courtelionse„ is
Wakefield, before Betijniniii Dealtrv. Esq. the
Rev. William Wood, John Maude, Esq. and John
Egretnotit, Esq.
At the commencement of the holiness, Captain
kiiibthorp rose and addressed the Magistrates. fie
stated ;hat the conduct of the military under his
commend had been much misrepresented in some
'of the public pipers, and reqnested, that before
the examination of the witnesses was proceeded
with, the Reporters might be ordered to withdraw.
'lb, Magistrates, sifter s short pause said. they did
nut think it necessary to make such an order; hut
they intimated to the Gentlemen who attended for
the public press, that it was 'heir wish that no past
ul the evidelice should be published, as it might
prejudice the party accused when be was put upon
his trial.
With this intimation they expressed their readi-
er'', to comply. and the hearing proceeded. Wit..
mosey were then called to prove the assault, and the
ownuninasion was proceeding, when Cep?. Sibthorp
observing that the Reporters were occupied in tak-
ing notes. again interfered, and wished the Bench to
order them to desist. The Magistrates. however,
made tin inch order ; but the Reporter., to avoid
u vt,ecestarily irritating the Captain, I.:id down their
pent, and the examination went on without r,.y
further interruption. The result was, that Thomas
Qiten, a !irritant in the 4th Dragoon Guards, was
ordered to find bail to answer fo. the assault
at the en,ning Quarter Sessions, and Captain
•S‘btliorp gave the necessary security. Comider-
leg ourselves bonnd by the promise made by our
Reporter, we shall not enter into any &bola ~f
vic eentrinstion; hut we may hr allowed to plate,
that ;t did not. in any material circumstarc-, differ
from the necount we have already laid before the
public. %tie will take the liberty further to ob-
serve, that if any inaccuracy of statement had
clout into any of the piddle papers, the most prompt
and effectual way of correcting it would have
Loco by the publication of the evidence given utiou
oath relative to this revolting transaction. The
officer. who was stated to have given the order to
to serjetiot to assault Chodesworth, was not in
sstviidnote.
