CLERKENITELL SESSIONS.

The only cause worthy of notice on Tuesday was
an indiament for an assault of a very, trivial nature,
and which, occupied, the attention of the Court
nearly three hours : the circumstances were as
were
: . •_ _ _

Mr. John Smith, a sadler in Bond-street, had
a sele& party of friends at his house to supper on
the evening of the 3lst of August last ; amongst
the number were Mr. Hatch 4,nd his wife, of the
Baptist Coffee-house, Mr. Page, a Gentleman of
the Bank, a few young Ladies, besides the latnily
of Nit% Smith, consisting of his two daughters, Miss
Elizabeth and Miss Annt' Smith, and his two sons,
George and Thomas Smith .; after taking a walk
in the evening, they supped about eight o'clock : after
supper, Mr. Page, as he knew some of the young
Ladies had an agreeable voice, proposed a song,' and
it being on the Sabbath, the 100th Psalm was sung,
after which the 104th Psalm was sung. God save
toe King and Rule Britatmia, followed ; during this
time, the company were much disturbed by a noise
made in the apartment over head, which Was occu-
pied by a Mr. Benjamin Town,. (an Artist) his
.mother and two sisters, of the Jewish persuaton.
,The company below stairs passed the time as above,
until the company we're departing, 'when it appeared
that on opening the parlour door, one of the , Israel-
ites made use of the folldwing expressions," God
'damn you all, and God damn you," to Mr. Hatch.;
this passed over until after the company departed,
and the two Miss Smiths were going up stairs to
bed, (their sleeping room being on the floor above
Mr. Town's K9om,) whe6 some altercation took
place at Mr. Town's. room doOr between him and
the Ladies,; on which Miss; Elizabeth Smith took
Mr. Town by the hair with one handand struck
him with the other ; her, brothers, on, hearing-the
noise, came also, one of whom also struck Mr.
Town ; Mr. Smith, the father, followed up stairs,
and ordered his sons. and daughters to go to bed,
on which Miss 'E. Smith said, " Father, will you
permit him to call us two bitches r" Mr. Smith
said, " This is not a time of night to settle the
matter ; if he has done any thing wrong, I shall
take proper means to-morrow to settle it :" here the
affair terminated for the night, and Mr. Town got a
warrant for the parties naxt day.
Mr. ALLEY, Counsel for the Defendants, was very
happy in his facetious remarks on the evidence-of
,Miss Town, who gave her deposition with all. the
tones and attitudes of an aCtress of one of those nu-
, merous private theatres; which convulsed the Court
with laughter. After a long hearing of the case the
Jury found peorge Smith, and his sister Elizabeth,
guilty of the assault, and acquitted Thomas and Ann
Smith. •

The Chairman, Mr. MAIO'SRING, observed to
the parties, that as the offence was of Go trifling a
nature, he hoped they' would adjust matters in an
amicable way, before Saturday next, until 'which
day the Court postponed judgment, and ordered the
parties to find bail for their apparance on that day ;
which they accordingly did.
