MU. HUNT A N ,UK. DOW LING.

Last morning' Mr. Hunt was brought to Row.strect Police.
office, under a warrant issued by Mr. Riroir un Tuesday, to
11110Wer lu a charge of assault upon Mr. Dowling,. who, it
will be recollected, horsewhipped hint on the holdings at the
late Weotmiuster EICII* • .

Mr. Bailie having called upon Mr Dowling to state his
charge, be said, the simple iteeuemi ~,, which he had to mike
against Mr Hunt was, that he hail shark kim on the prr.
ceding day in St. Clement's Church-yard. lie wished to
explain, 1w , the usaimee Lt which the rircaiii•tance
. . . . . . .

tuOit place He hut heels informed noose days bark, that it
was Alr. Hunt's intention, in conjunction with his brother,
to give him what m cwlkd a good thrashing, ■nd had re-
wired, if such an attempt were made, to MAC MO rrsiAsnre,
but to treat them in the inentier 'wrens's who bad
forfeited the character of Gentlemen deserved.

Tuesday morning, having borrowed a Newspaper of Mr.
Charles Clement, brother to Mr. Clement, of The Woreveer,
he called into his shop about hiltpast eleven, to return it.
Mr. Hunt awl his mutt were them Mr. D laid the Paper
on the Counter, sod was retiring, when Mr. Hoist exclaimed.
o %Cell, Mr. Spectacle Spy, are you dispoyeil lu Sup:h my
linesewhipping wit'?" Mr. 1) replied, ° Mr. Hunt, 1 with
to have mu altercation with you,” and was retiring, when
Mr. H. applied to him the foulest epithets, and said he was
• despicable Government Spy and Informer. Mr. 1) de.
died him or any man on earth to pi ore the assertion. Mr.
H. then said, .• You gut it inserted its all 11w Papers the
matelot of your having lionwwhipoid Intl, and that 1 had
not the 'pint to resent it " Mr. 1). in mower, rather fur
the ears of sere: al prison• who were in the wimp, arm far
Mr. Hunt's gratifiratioo, said, " Upon my honour, the
charge is Mcorrect." Mr. Hoot then addtd... If you OW
nut, some of your myrmidon colleague. did, and 1 shall
Sod an opportunity to give you a good thrashing:" follow.
ing up his threat with an invitation to Co
then and fight it out. Mr. D. said that be might rat rute
hit threat then, hut he should feel himself sic. railed by re.
seeding any thing which so contemptible a fellow t itber said
or did, at least in the way he seemed to with, mot was then
quitting the shop, whets Mr. Hunt followed bon to the door,
and repeated his invitation to a boxing match in the steel.
Mr. D. again declined the proposed exhibition, and Mr. 11.
struck him • slight blow on the face, whirls knocked off his
spectacles. " D—u you," continued Mr. H. will you re.
seat that ?"—" Not in the way you would wish, Mr. li."
repled Mr. D.; ° and even if 1 were dieposed so far to de-
grade myself, the iftlirruiiy of being shortsighted would
prevent me from engaging in so nuequal a cootest.'• Mr.
D. them walked away, but returned, and asked for and ob-
tained Mr. Heat's address, with a view to the present pro-
ceeding.

Mr. A. Lydon, who was in Mr. Clement's shop when the
affair took place, corroborated tin' statement of Mr. D. as
to the abusive language of Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Dowling say-
int that he would not degrade himself by resenting any thing
which came from a person so well known. He said be saw
Mr. Hoist strike Mr Dawbutt one blow, and thought he at:
tempted to strike him oftener; but he could Out speak posi-
tively to this.
lu croft-examination by Mr. Hue?, be said he was • re-
porter, and had repo►ted the account which appeared in the
Eve ' g Papers, and which was selling about by the horn-
buys that morning. This account Mr Hunt piouoaneed
grossly INCOCTCCi—inasmuch as he bad never collared Mr.
Dueling, our did he strike 'dui more tlta• one blow, and
that a slight our, rather with a view to make him resent it
than otherwise ; beat Dowling had acted mist cowardly, and
had refused to fight. There were other parts of the state-
ment which were equally incorrect.
Mr. Dowling said he had much more reason to complain
of the report than %Ir. Hunt.
Mr. Hoot." This is a proof of the sort of fellows who
act as reporters."
Mr. Dowling said, that he haul heard Mr. Hoist had also
termed reporter, awd bad written an account slating that he
bad knocked Mr. Dowling down, and performed other sets
of heroism, will. • view of having Isis account of the Iran.-
action inserted in the papers. If this were the case, Mr.
Hunt certainly did nut seem very well qualified for the
office of • reporter any more than the person to whom he
was object iag.
Mr. Hunt did not deny Ibis charge; and awns being call-
ed tau for his defence, admitted that Mr. Dowlines account
was in a great measure correct, although exaggerated. The
cause of the conduct imputed to him mole out of the 'rosi-
ness which bad occurred in Curent-ganlen. Mr. Dowling
had stated that be had Worshipped bins, and •it had been
so stated in every paper in the kingdom►—whereas Mr. Dowl-
ing had only given him one or two blows when his back
was turned. He should, however, be able to inset the case
■t the proper tribnual, and should prove that Mr. Lee, the
High Constable, was the penult who gave Mr. Dowling so.
lice of his approach.
Mr. Dowling." That is not true."
Mr. Hunt added,that the irritation of his mind, from what
bad happened at Covent-garden, had iiiduccil him to deter-
mine to give this bully an opport 'y of finishing his ►orse-
whipping, if be thought it; but be had, iii • cowardly ma•.
ner, refused to fight.

Mr. 1).—" You knew ahem I was to be rewind, sad yam
also hut+ 1 was ready and anxious to usett you in the ualy
way a Geodesic' ought to require."

The Prisoner appeared to be shout 55 years of

On the indictment being read to hire, and the
usual interrogatory put, whether he was Guilty or
Not Cathy of the of&tice with which lie stood
clung-rl ? he addressed the C. art as follows:
" My Lords—From the long fierier! that has elapsed
since this offence is stated to Irate been committed.
a distance now of more than twenty months—fruu►
the death of the only person who could satisfac•
virile establish my innocence in this Court, rod
from the utter exhaustion of all my resources, hY
u long imprisonment, which has deprived me of all
power to obtaiw legal assistance on this occasion, I
now find myself so placed as to have no other alter
native than that of pleading Guilty to this charges
and throwing myself ou the clemency of this
Court."

Mr. Baron GRAHAM .•41 Prisoner, you have con-
sidered well, I presume, the nature of the plea
by which yeu mean to abide—do you mean to
persevere in pleading guilty to this indictment ?"
The Prisoner—." My Lord, I &tend alone, on-
armed and defenceless, 'pima armed amid powerful
opponents. So placed, l can have no chance of
successfully combating them. It is fur that reason
I pleutlguilty." _

'Mr. llsrusiGitsusita There is no ground fur
the assert')))) that the law gives any advantage to
the Proarcutors; I think, therefore, your most pro.
dent course, situated u you are, would be to plead
not guilty to the charge. If you plead guilty, the
.Court meat, of course, conclude that the charge is
fully established against )ou, without any circum.
stasice of mitigation. Take your own course; but
there is un grusaird for casting say imputution upon
your tsrosecutors,"
A Solicitor at the table here addresses' the Court.
and said he would undertake to afford the Prisoner
legal assistance.

The indictment being again reed to the Pres.oner,

and he was then removed from the bar.

thr .

It appeared that Mr.Grayee had his house damaged by
dre a considerable time since, and that he was Mewed at
the Norwich MSc,. His claim hail been misled by Mr.
Rigo.old. The Committee now sitting is Bridge-street,
wrote to Mr. Graves, soliciting him to revise his claim,
which he agreed to do, if they procured him a sight of the
articles save✓ from the ire, of which Mr. Digits,ld had taken
possession. This was promised by the Committee, and
Mr. (.raves, accompanied by Mr. Sherwood, went thin
morning to the office in Bridgesstreet, where they tort
Mr. Wilson, one of the Committee, who conducted diem
to the noon where the injnred gouda were deposited. Tiny
Intl, however, scarcely commenced their cauntinali 4444 iu the
presence of three or four ment4crs of the Committee, when
Mr. Bien,lol made his appearance in a great rage, declined
he would kick the two Complainants down stairs, and gave
them earnest of his verity by knocking one of Mr. Graves's
hooks, which lee was inspecting, out of his hands, sod by
seizing Mr. Slwrwood by the shoulders. In answer to the
appeal of the Complainants to the Committee for their poo.
hello's, Hwy being in the atire at their request, and ender
their sanction, Mr. Wilson shook his bead, incepting, as was
supposed, to imply their inability to restrain Mr. Bignold's
violence.

The Lord Mayor granted the POITIIIOIIIIPS the hearing

THE DisPIITED MONKEY.

%.bu arrived at the Justice runes, wish • great farltittsde
behind them.

The 'unlike, was making • moat !vicinity; woisr, awl 11w
nil..r mud showman, who bad bees arguing eu their way to
Ilw Manikin-house, weer so completely absorbed to the pub-
ject uf as out to take 1111ilet for 'lune time, of the
•nthueity muukey, liuwever, was inure rr.
spertfal to his ortannovs, and seemed to have a lime lowers.
Paoli ..1 the dirtily of the klagiatrete before when be was
brottel.t.

His Lord.hip bovine noticed the rrapectful demeanour of
the monk. y, a ailed opus* the sailor and 'bowman to follow
the (sample of the anioalr who at that Naomi's* hews. to
exhibit some of his must amusing tricks— such as pulling the
showman's nose, uutyiusg his cravat, dragging open his
waistcoat, &r.
The Lord Mayor desired that if there was any curopla;at
to Ist made, it ►hould be pnseerded topsail. The sailor said
lie and the monkey were the Nujoretl party; the shuwwsass was
the aggressor. . . .

Ill.:lord.hip seemril to think that the mmikey would be
as well Mile to explain the matter .is either of his compa-
nions; and this emielesi tttt appeared to be just, for while
the features of the men were agitated with passion, the MOO-
key's was as grave as those of • philosopher.
The monkey kept his eye fixed el the Lord %Ilya, and
at the conclusion of every sentence from his Lordship, tot.
tercel a piercing cry.
The sailor at length made his complaint. He stated that
lie ascot olio Gihnso and Atkins' exhibiliou of wild beasts
is Bartholomew Fair, and while he was looking at the cu-
riosities, lie recognised the monkey, which was now before
his Lordship, to be his own property. lie had purchased it
fur foie or kVe dollars at St. Sites. some manilla as.,, and
upon bia arrival nu this country, he had lost ii at Portsinust th.
Upon (Idea cant the show ho immediately told the keeperthat
it was his monkey, and hate it he would. The keeper re-
fused to give it rap, and declared that ins master had bought
it fairly for IL
The showmen here got into • high passion with the
monkey, w 100 hail seized him with such viohnee by the nose
ma to make him roar suet. The arumd growing more and
more airrrse to the control of the keeper, held his paws tout
to the sailor, and moaned piteously.
The Lord Mayor said the only way for him to decide upon
a ease, in which there was positive asertiun on hots sides,
was to leave the matter to the monkey himself. His Lord-
ship then directed that the monkey should be placed ewe
the table, and that each 'tarty claiming him should use his
powers of fascination, in order to ascertain to whoa the
munkey was must attached.
The nobility was put epos the table, but narrowly escaped
death, AIM an attack made opine him by a slug, a ieoustred
visitor at the Idseerun-huisse. 'laving escaped this danger,
the Lord Mayor marked the effect of so important au ad-
venture, and seeing that the monkey fled to the arum of She
sailor (who *hewed most roucern) fur protection, and that
the animal throughout laud evinced towards him the greatest
attachment, he thought lie was the rightful owner. The
desired esperinseut, however, was now made, sad the show-
man put a piece of slick into the monkey's paw, sod desired
him to shoulder arms. Instead of °halm: this order, the
monkey struck the keeper un the brad, and toes threw tt is
his face.

The sailor next milted epos the asilmal, saying, " lock,
Soak sharp, and •siske Racism to his Lordship." the monkey
instantly 'Amid • iect uu his him' legs, monied his paws to She
top of Isis head, and made R low how to the bird 31systr ie
the Tankish slyle. lie she,. hugged and fawned upon she
sailor as 'cruse. " If any thing else is necisussy," mid she
sailor oto prime him mine, I eau chew it. These i• a hole
in one of his ears, which I bored iu St. Lite.,for it is fashion-
aldc for the harks to sear au ear-riug share. His left paw
is marked by a fi•hia[-honk, and part of his Sail is bitseu by
a parrot that used to quarrel with him." These marks were
observed.

The Lord Mayor advised the showman to give up all
eleiw to the enotihry, bat be refused. The sailor refused to
part with she mimicry, cud the uunikey would out part with
Imo. The disputants at length left the office, she uviakey
