about hint all the appearance of a boa viouta, was brought
betbre the magistrate on a seal rant, chat tied with a very

on the Woodford road, he met a horse and gig going down
a bill, cud prostate on the cushions of the vehicle lay the
delendunt, the reins being at that time under the feet of
the horse. Conceiving him to be in a very pet aims situa-
tion, witness called out in the usual trimmer, " Bow-street
Pan ol," to aunoinice who he was, and then begged of the
defendant to stop while lie gave him up his scion. No
answer was at first returned, but on his venturing to stop
the 110114 C, by taking bold of the bridle, the defendant
stashed from his recumbent posture. and, in the voice of
a Stentor, desired him to " let go, and be d—d to hint."
Witness, however, perceiving that he was very drunk,
kept his hold, and attempted to remonstrate; hut this only
increased his rage, and lie commenced cell og witness the
most hurtible names, and swore Le w.i worse than the
Bishop of Cluttlier. Not content aide this, upon witness
still keeping his hold of the bridle, lie ruse and laid his
whip shout his (witness'.-) shoulders moil he lost his equi-
libt tom, and came Bat upon his hack on the cushions,
where he lay, and swore and %hipped, anti whipped and
assume, until his bit-4th was exhausted, and then he gave
over. Witness added, that he hole it patiently, because
he was not afraid or truing grievously hurt, and he was
anxious that some one rise should she the affair, One of
hi. coon ades Mlle up, and they followed Mr. Rutliet ford
to Chinetord.

Itqtherford said, lie had been to town that day
enjoying himself with a few friends, and lie was certainly
'•a tittle !teal),' hut not drunk, and his horse was su gur'
■ creature that even if his master woe asleep lie WOlll.l
be sure to take him home safe. Knowing this, lie luau ex-
tended himself at his rage, when lie was undely stopped
by the patrol, whom he took for a soldier. The defendant
then we'd oil to deny, seriatim, all that the officer had
charged against him j but being reminded by the magis-
trate that he had admitted that lie was 6' a little fresh."
he was constrained to acka►owlvdge that lie had not the
very clearest recollection of what passed; and as he
might have done wrung, he was sot ry for it, and willing to
make ample recompense to the officer fur the flogging he
liail given him.
The magistrate said, that but for this acknowledgment
lie would out permit a compromise; but as Mr. Ruther-
ford st coned sensible of his el fur, lie might withdraw and
■peak to the officer.
