JANUARY B, 1852.

the young men were committed to take their trial at
the Westminster Sessions for the misdemeanour, but
the grand jury ignored the bill against them, and a
charge of perjury was then preferred against both the
censtables.

Ernest Francatelli andjThomas Welby Adam, the
two young men who had been taken into custody
upon the charge referred to, were then examined as
witnesses, and they swore most positively that there
was no foundation for the statement that they had
either of them touched any lady's pocket with a felo-
nious intention. They also denied that anything was
passed from one to the other at the spot referred to by
the officers.

Upon being cross-examined, it appeared that they
had partaken of gin-and-water at a public-house out-
side the theatre, and also smoked a cigar each, and
that they likewise had some cold brandy-and-water
inside. They also said that the promenade was very
crowded, and that they might possibly have touched
the persons of some of the females they passed
by ; but they declared that it was done acci-
dentally and without any improper intention. They
likewise admitted that it was true, as stated by the
officers, that Francatelli told Adam to push him as
they were leaving the theatre, and that he replied,
" All right," or "Go along, Robert." This was ac-
counted for by stating that some young men who
were before them were pushing back as if to stop the
people from getting out; and Adam said that the
reason he called Francatelli "Robert" was merely for
a lark, and he could give no other reason. Franca-
telli accounted for the possession of a very formidable
instrument in the shape of a flexible stick, heavily
laden with lead at one end, by stating that he merely
brought it from the Coventry Cluo, where his father
was cook, on the night in question, by accident, and
that it did not belong to him.
Mr. BALLANTINE, for the defence, expressed his
opinion that the prosecution ought never to have been
instituted, and that the parties ought to have been
satisfied with the decision of the grand jury. He
was not instructed to impute to these young men
that they were really guilty of the offence with
which they were charged ; but, on the part
of an officer of good character, against whom no
complaint had ever before been made, he felt him-
self called upon to state that the manner in which they
bad conducted themselves on the night in question
was such as entirely justified the officers in the course
they had pursued in taking them into custody, and
making the charge they did against them. The very
circumstance of a person being seen with a formidable
weapon like the one that had been produced, and
which evidently could not be required for the ordi-
nary purposes of a stick or cane, but which was just
such a weapon as was frequently made use of by the
most desperate characters, was in itself sufficient to
create suspicions in the minds of the officers, and he
said that the subsequent proceedings of the parties
very naturally increased that suspicion, and led to
the charge being preferred. The Learned Counsel
concluded by stating that while he admitted that there
was no real foundation for the charge that had been
made against these young men, he thought they
ought to have been satisfied when the bill against
them was ignored by the grand jury, no doubt from
a belief that persons in their respectable position
could not have been guilty of such a❑ offence, and
that a sound discretion had not been exercised in
bringing the matter here, as there did not appear to
be the slightest pretence for imputing wilful and cor-
rupt perjury to the officers who had made the charge
against them.
Mr. Lund, the superintendent of the P division of
police to which the defendant belonged, Sergeant
Quinnear, of the same division, Inspector Wilkinson,
Inspector Coward, and several other witnesses, gave
the defendant an excellent character. He had been
twelve years in the police, and was considered an in-
telligent, able officer, and had been on that account
selected to do duty in plain clothes.
Mr. Baron PLATT, in summing up, told the jury
that it was not sufficient to support a charge of per-
jury that the person accused should be proved merely
to have sworn to that which was not true, but it must
be shown also that at the time he made the false
statement upon his oath be well knew that statement
to be false. The Learned Judge then called the at-
tention of the jury to all the facts of the case, and
said that if they were of opinion that the defendant
had made a mistake as to the identity of the parties,
or that he had reason to suppose that he was speak-
ing the truth when he gave the evidence in support
of the charge, he was entitled to be acquitted.
The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.
Henry Atwood, the other constable was then ar-
raigned upon the same charge.
Mr. PARRY said that after the decision the jury had
come to in the case of the last defendant he should
not have gone on with this indictment, but as it ap-
peared to him that there were some points in the evi-
dence given by Atwood which altered the aspect of
his case, he felt that he was justified in doing so.
He then called a witness who, according to counsel's
instructions, could have proved some expressions that
were made use of by the defendant after the parties
were in custody, but upon his being examined he
failed entirely in proving the facts that were sug-
gested. _ _

Mr. PARRY upon this said he felt the only course
he could take was to withdraw from the prosecution.
He added, that the only object of the parents of the
parties was to have the matter fully investigated, and
that their sons might have an opportunity of stating
upon their oath that there was no foundation for the
charge that was made against them, the effect of such
an accusation being made. against a 3 oung man fre-
quently being to cast a stigma upon him for the re-
mainder of his life.
Baron PLATT said there did not appear to be any
foundation for the supposition that the young men
were actuated by any guilty intention while they
were in the theatre, and they had a right to the ex-
pression of this opinion both from the Court and the
jury._

The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty,
adding that they believed the witnesses Francatelli
and Adam were perfectly innocent of the charge that
was made against them.

conduct himself in such an unjustifiable way. It
would be a monstrous thing if a person who had
taken aselt in a theatre, and who was obliged from
some cause to leave it for a short time, was to be ue-
prised of it in the way adopted by the defendant, and
Ithen, when claiming his right, to be assaulted. It was
the duty of the defendant to obey persons in autho-
rity, such as was the boxkeeper of a theatre, and not
to commit an assault upon him.—Fined 403.
A gentleman, named Duval, was charged with
having assaulted Richard Ouch waite, messenger at the
Legal and Medical Life Assurance Company.
Complainant said he was passing through Dean-
street with his wife and sister about 10 o'clock on
the previous night. He saw the defendant in conver-
sation with some person. He was just about to pass
when the defendant lifted his stick, and struck him
two violent blows on the head, and knocked him
down. The defendant, who was an entire stranger,
said nothing whatever to him.

The explanation of the defendant proved that the
assault had been committed under a mistake. His
friend and himself had been followed by a comb
seller, and in order to get rid of the importunity of
the man he pushed him away. The man charged
him with breaking his combs, and having created a
mob he was assaulted, and he then acted in self-
defence.

A gentleman named Webb, who was with the de-
fendant, said the comb seller charged him with steal-
ing his combs, and having thus got a crowd about him
and the defendant, some one in the crowd struck
him, upon which the defendant certainly did use his
stick.

Mr. BINGHAM thought that after making every
allowance for the circumstances in which the accused
had been placed, be had flourished his stick, and con-
ducted his defence without sufficient discrimination ;
and as the weapon had fallen with such serious effect
on the head of an innocent person, a fine of 403. must
be imposed for the assault.

MARYLEBONE.
John Crawley, a pugilist, who has latterly obtained
a livelihood by exhibiting the art of self-defence at
fairs, races, &c., was brought up for re-examination,
charged with having robbed and in a most brutal
manner assaulted Henry Sperling, a fellow lodger, at
No. 1, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square.
The evidence showed that as complainant was sit-
ting quietly by the fire in his room the prisoner who
was drunk entered therein, and without saying a word
to him kicked him and knocked him down by a tre-
mendous blow upon the head ; while he (complainant)
was lying upon the floor, prisoner stole from him three
sixpences, and before he had time to regain his legs
seized him by the nose so firmly with his teeth as to
nearly bite it through ; another person, who was pre-
sent, rushed forwari to his assistance, and by thrott-
ling the prisoner succeeded in dragging him away and
giving him into custody of police-constable Phillips,
111 D.

The prisoner in answer to the charge said that he
was first attacked by the complainant after they had
had a few angry words together.
It was stated that the prisoner was a very desperate
character, and had frequently been charged with vio-
lent outrages on the police, in addition to which he
was once in custody fur knocking down a gentleman
in Oxford-street.

Mr. BROUGHTON did not consider that the allega-
tion of roblyry had been clearly established, but for
the savave attack upon complainant he fined the pri
soner 51. or two ►OOntha in the House of Correction.
