behaved insolent to the officer before he was as-
saulted. Ward swore that he had not, and the
warrant against Mr. Herbert was granted.
Soon after the above application was made, Rose,
Jordan, and Lally, the three men committed to
Clerkenwell prison for want of the required sureties,
for alleged mutinous and riotous conduct on board
the Inglis, on the 7th of June last, were brought'to
be admitted to bail. They have been in custody
nearly three months, from the time the Inglis at,
rived at St. Helena until yesterday, and have en-
dured very great privations. Two respectable
housekeepers having sworn then tiyare worth 20/.
after the payment of their just debts, and declared
their readiness to enter into sureties for the appear-
' ance of the three sailors at the Admiralty Sessions,
they were entitled to their discharge.
James Hawkins, a seaman of the Lowther Castle,
who was held to hail on Wednesday, the Bth inst.,
for assaulting one of his officers off St. Mona, in
consequence of his being prevented from hailing his
Majesty's ship Ariadne, applied for a summons
against the managing owner of the Lowther Casty,
to show cause why his WRVS were withheld from
him. Hawkins said, tharrnhett applied at thou,'.
India-house on the day the ship Was paid off, he was
tauntingly informed that he was a prisoner at St.
Helena, and was not known in this country.
Mr. BALLANTINE declined interfering, and told
the applicant he had not completed his voyage, for
which he had signed articles, and was consequently
not entitled to hie wages.
Hawkins, who was labouring under severe illness,
which he said was brought on by the ill-usage he
received on hoard the Lowther Castle, said he was
prevented from completing his voyage through being
transferred as a prisoner to the Kellie Castle, after
the alleged assault on his officer. At any rate, he
thought himself entitled to the wages which he had
fairly earned up to the time he committed the of-
fence tvi:h which he stood charged.

Mr. BALLANTINE informed Hawkins that if he
established his innocence at the Admiralty Sessions,
he would no doubt be paid every farthing of his
wages; but as the case at present stood he should
decline granting a summons against the owner.
Hawkins was in great distress, and subsisting on
the bounty of his frirnds. He had endured such
hardships, and been so much ill-treated, that his
Constitution was broken, and he should never be
able to go to sea any more. In his Majesty's ser-
vice he had been used like a man, and had no cause
to complain, but on board the Lowther Castle he
had been treated like a dog. Hawkins then left the
office.

lIATTON.GARDEN.
Yesterday George Hayes, a blind Chelsea pen-
sioner, was brought up for re-examination, on a
charge of committing an assault, of a brutal descrip-
tion, upon James Macdonald, another blind pen-
sioner. The prisoner was taken into custody on
Friday morning last; but as Macdonald had been
conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, and it being
considered, from the extent of the injuries he hod
received, that his life was in some danger, the pri-
soner was remanded until Macdonald could be pro-
nounced out of danger.
Denis Egan, a porter employed in Covent-garden-
market, stated that he was standing at the corner of

Jones's-court, liainbridge-street, S-t. Gileh's, a little
after twelve on Friday morning, when he heard
cries of " Murder" called out in a house in the

court, and on going up stairs to the room whence
the cries issued, he found the two blind men there.
Hayes had hold of Macdonald's ears with both his
hands, while the unfortunate man's under lip was
firmly secured between his teeth. In the struggle
to disengage himself, Macdonald dragged the pri-
soner to a bed, which was in the room, where the
latter let go his savage hold only in consequence of
biting the lip as fairly off as if it had been done by
a surgeon's knife. The prisoner then dragged him
off the bed to the floor, when Mrs. Hayes placed a
large stick in his hand, with which he belaboured
Macdonald most unmercifully, indifferent in what
part of the head or body he struck him. Mrs. Mae-
donald, in the mean dine, brought a candle up stairs;
but as soon as she made her appearance, Mrs. Hayes
blew it out, observing the light could be of no use
to the parties at issue. Li addition to the loss of
the nether lip, Hayes had caught Macdonald's thumb
in his mouth, and lacerated it in a most horrid man-
ner, so that it had the appearance of being gnawed
by a dog, rather than of being done by a human
being. -
-

Mr. Serjeant SW' asked the witness if he
knew what gave rise to so savage an attack ?---The
witness replied that he understood both parties had
been out drinking together in the evening, and
Macdonald accused the prisoner of stealing some gir►
from him.

Serjeant Field, division E, stated that he went to
the house in consequence of hearing Let-cams of
" Murder ;" and when he got up stairs he found
Macdonald stretched upon the ground, and the pri-
soner beating him with a large stick, as described by
the first witness. It required a great deal of caution
and dexterity to get possession of the stick without
coming in for a share of its inflictions ; however, the
serjeant at length succeeded, arid disarmed him ; but
when he attempted to take him out of the room, the
prisoner threw himself on the ground and bit the
serjeaut's leg very severely. When lie was brought
out, the serjeant was obliged to pull him down stairs„
and the prisoner suddenly flung his whole weight
upon him, and being a powerful heavy man, had
he upset the serjeant the consequences would pro-
bably be fatal.
Edward Davis, police constable, No. 00, division
E, stated that w4an Macdonald was conveyed to the
hospital he returned to Jones's-court in search of the
lip. It was at first supposed that the prisoner had
swallowed it ; but after search was made, the lip
was found in the bed. It was taken to the hospital
to have it sewed on, but the surgeon said it was too
dry—had it been brought while we/ it might have
been replaced.
A certificate from the hospital was produced,
from which it appeared that Macdonald was out of
danger, although the injuries he had received were
very serious, more especially the wound upon tale
thumb.
Hayes, when called upon for his defence, directed
the Magistrate's attention to his nose, which was
dreadfully lacerated on both sides, evidently the
effect of some one's teeth having nearly met in it.
Lie said that Macdonald was the first aggressor,
having caught the nose between his teeth ; and, as
a necessary measure to make him let go his hold, he,
in return, seized the lip, and inflicted the injury al-
ready described.
As the complainant was out of danger, the Magi-
strate admitted Hayes to bait, to appear when called
on. He was then bound in his own recoguizances
in the sum of 401. and discharged.

bold no conversation whatsomnever vith him, which
made him vexed, and he took every lmoportunity
of insulting my other sister as keeps a 114 h-stall in

pitched into hint, and so he gets this ere vorrant

—The Magistrate disposed of this "family concern"
by handing over the warrAnt, and directing each
party to pay a moiety of the expense.
