GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENTS.—A fashionably-dressed
young man, who gave the name of James Brown, and
address Chapel-street, Belgrave-square, was charged with
the following misconduct : .

Sergeant Brett, 29 B, said that at 4 o'clock this morning
he was on duty in Belgrave-square, when ho saw the de-
fendant and two other persons of equally respectable
appearance. A chimney sweeper was proceeding through
the square, when the defendant and his companions went
behind him, and began playing tricks with the sooty
machine which he carried, After amusing themselves for
some time at the expense of the chimney sweep, they went
across the square to two men who appeared to be going to
their work, and one of these men was struck and the other
kicked. Next the defendant and his companions went to
the Duke of Buccleuch's, where some men were unload-
ing goods, and interfered with them, and witness
then went up to the defendant and companions and told
them that that sort of thing could not be allowed, upon
which defendant said it was nothing to him and struck
him upon the chest. Witness then took him into custody.
He was under the influence of liquor.
Mr. Selfe—What have you to say to this?
Defendant—l am very sorry,
Mr. Selfe—What are you ?

Defendant—l am not doing anything at present.
Mr. Selfe—Were you no occupation?
Defendant—None.

Mr. Selfe—A person in your evident position of life
might, I should think, have been better employed than as
described. You are fined 20s„ or committed for 14 days.
The fine was immediately paid.

brothers, were brought before Mr Partridge, with
charged
committing a very savage assault upon Mr James Regan.
The complainant appeared to be very much hurt, and the
clothes which he was wearing when the outrage was com-
mitted were covered with mud and torn.
The prosecutor, a gentleman of good position, was on his
way home this morning at half-past 1• l
0 c ock, when he was
fiercely attacked by the prisoners in the Mile-end-road.
They beat him and knocked him down, and when he was
down kicked him and inflicted meet serious
contusions and

the prosecutor was sober.
The prisoners, both young men, who said they were
sailors, and that one of them only camo home yesterday,
said they were grossly insulted while passing along the
Mile-end-road.
The prosecutor was recalled, and said he had a factory
Bell-lane, Spitalfields, that he employed 22
persons, and
that his business kept him in his factory late every Friday
night.
Mr Partridge said this was the most extraordinary and
cruel case he ever met with, and he believed the prosecutor,
who was fully confirmed. It was a most gri •
evous case
deserving of severe punishraent. Be fined the prisoners'
£5 each, and in default two months' imprisonment.
