MARYLEBONE.

Mr. Edward Baker, described as a surgeon, re-
siding in Richmond-road, Bayswater, was charged
before Mr. Long with having committed a violent
assault upon Mr. Samuel Bickel), a solicitor, living in
Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road.
Mr. Vaughan, solicitor, Paddington-green, attended
for the complainant.
The complainant's evidence was to the effect that
on the 24th inst. he, accompanied by his clerk, went
to No. 4, Union-place, New-road, to serve a writ
upon a Mrs. Terry, at the suit of a clergyman. He
knocked at the door twice, and at last it was opened.
Mr. LONG-By whom ? Complainant —By a
young man, and my clerk said to me, " That is the
person who assaulted me once before when I called."
I asked him his name, when defendant, who exclaimed,
" Don't tell him, Edwin," rushed at me and told me
I had no business there. I gave him to understand
that I had a writ against Mrs. Terry, and that if he
either allowed me to go up to her, or gave me the
name of her professional adviser, 1 should require no
more ; but I had no sooner uttered the words than he
knocked off my hat, and while I was stooping to pick
it up he hit me a tremendous blow over the eye.
[Complainant's eye was still discoloured and swollen.]
1 and my clerk then quitted the premises.
The witnesses were cross-examined by a solicitor
at sotno length, with the view of showing that the
lady against whom procesi was about to be served
was very ill, and that complainant and his clerk had
exceeded their authority.
Evidence was brought forward for the defence, and
Margaret Callaghan, the servant, swore that no
blow was given.
Mr. LONG, considering it was quite clear that com-
plainant had been assaulted, and severely, while en-
gaged in the issuing of a legal process for debt, fined
defendant 3/. and costs.

The penalty was paid.
SOUTHWARK.
Daniel Haydon, a well-dressed man, was charged,
with another man not in custody, with a very daring
robbery, attended with violence.
William Hurling stated that he is a seaman, and
that on the previous night he went, accompanied by
a shipmate, to the Royal Oak public-house, Kent-
street, and while standing in front of the bar, taking
some refreshment, the prisoner and another man
entered together. Complainant was in the act of
quitting the house, when the prisoner rushed at him,
made a snatch at his watch, which was in his waist-
coat-pocket, awl by the force of the pull separated it
from the guard, and got possession of it. The priso-
ner then passed the watch to his companion, when the
complainant pointed out the latter to his shipmate, at
the same time exclaiming, "That is the fellow who
has got my watch." Complainant's shipmate imme-
diately collared the man, but had no sooner done so
than the fellow turned upon him, gave him a violent
blow on the mouth, that knocked him down, and then
rushed out of the house, having dropped the watch on
the floor in his eagerness to escape. During the con-
fusion that prevailed, owing to the suddenness of the
attack, the prisoner attempted to get away, but was
prevented by Mr. Knight, the landlord of the house,
who detained him until a constable arrived, into
whose custody he was given. The complainant's
watch was produced, with the swivel completely torn
off, owing to the violence with which it was dragged
from his pocket.
The prisoner asserted that he had no acquaintance
with the man from whose hand the watch was seen to
drop on the floor, and he added that he had friends
who could speak as to his good character,
he if he
not ashamed of letting them know that was mixed
up in such a transaction.
Mr. A.TECKETT said that it bad been proved to his
satisfaction that the prisoner was the man who robbed
the complainant of his watch, and then passed it to
the other person, who escaped. He should, therefore,
commit him for trial.
In reply to the Magistrate, it was stated that tha
other offender was known.

Mr. BIWDEEIP inquired under what circumstances?
—the cabman replied that a little before

street, pre-
vious evening he took his lordship up in St. and drove him to his residence, 7, Park- street,
Westminster, when Bd. was sent out to him, which
was not sufficient.
Mr. BRODERIP inquired what amount he claimed ?
—The cabman replied that his fare the
distance exceeded a mile,
and was indeed ls.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.--A 8 some workmen were
felling timber near Herne-bay, they discovered in the centre
of one of the trees a cavity, in which were the remains of a
cat. The skeleton was entire, and ROM hair, of a sandy
colour, yet remained on the skin. It is conjectured that the
animal, having entered the hollow part of the tree, was unable
to extricate itself, and the wood in process of years had grown
round it. We understand that the skeleton of the cat will be
sent to the Canterbury muaeam.—Canterbury Journal.
