MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Aram 19.

DESPERATE ASSAULT.
A brutal fellow, named Al•Carthy, was this day
indicted for having committed a violent assault upon
his master. Leake, Esq. of Grosvenor-place.
It appeared from the evidence, that Mr. Leake
had hired the Defendant as coachman four days
previour to that on which the assault was commit-
ted. The Defendant had orders to get the carriage
in readiness to take his master and Mrs. Stack.
pole, his master's daughter, to Hanover-square at
four o'clock. An hour after the time directed,
the Defendant appeared in the house in a most
disgraceful state of drunkenness. Determined not
to run the hazard of losing his own life, nor to put
that of his daughter in danger, Mr. Leake or-
dered the coachman from his presence ; and
Jading that he was intolerably abusive as
wall as drunk, shut him out at the stable.
door. Soon afterwards the Defendant walked
round to the hell-door. and knocked. The
Moment the door was opened. he fell upon the
servants and beat • them Ilitniruntsereifully. Mr.
Leake went into the hall to remonstrate with him.
and to request that he would leave the house,
but the fellow without ceremony attacked his was.
ter furiously. and disfigured him about the face.
Mrs. Stackpole. upon bearing her father's voice,
ran to the spot where the Defendant was in the act
of rautulting his master ; but McCarthy, instead of
desisting at her appearance from further violence.
only transferred hie blows from her father to herself.
and seemed to take greater pleasure in this more
cowardly exhibition of his strength and ferocity.
lie pulled the necklace and other ornaments from
Mrs. Stsckpole's person, knocked her down, and
kicked her in the stomach. The lady still lies dan-
gerously ill in consequence of this ill-treatment.
The Jury found McCarthy Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN advised Mr. Andrews to im-
press upon Mr. Leake the necessity of prosecuting
the Defendant for the assault upon Mrs. 6Lickpole„
in the event of the recovery of that lady, and said
that the p •shmeut, upon conviction, should be a
lesson to M•Catthy for life.
Mr. Leslie said that no human power should
prevent IL
The CMAIRIAAN then told the Defendant that he
should abstain from making any comment upon his
conduct until the indictment for the assault upon
Mts. Stackpule should be before the Court. In
the AMU time he sentenced the coachman far the
assault upon Mr. Leake to imprisonment for tao
month., and to find security for his good behaviour
towards that Gentleman for twelve months.
