DisGRACEPTIL ATTACK UPON A BAND OP STREET
MUSICIANS.—John Frawley and Jeremiah O'Neil were
charged with a series of disgraceful assaults.
Edward Barr said that he and seven men, with their
faces blacked, were exhibiting as Ethiopian melodists in
Ebury-street, last evening, when the defendant Frawley
came up and attacked them with a stick, Complainant
was acting as bandmaster, when defendant assaulted him
no less than three times without the least provocation.
George Warwick, violinist, said he saw the assault upon
Barr. Frawley then dealt witness a blow and knocked
him down. As witness was the money-taker he got out of
Mr.
Witness—Yea,
the crowd as soon as he could.
?ng our takings. I
saw Frawley bit " Judy" very shamefully.
Mr. Arnold—Who is " Judy ?"
Witness—Why, Mr. Barr; he plays "Judy"—Punch's
Judy, and so we call him " Judy." (Much laughter.)
Edward Aymont, another of the band, said that Frawley
struck him on the chest, and then tell upon the fiddler.
Mr. Arnold—You mean the violinist.

Witness—Yes, your worship, but we calls him the fiddler.
(Laughter.)
William Kirby—He brushed up against me.
Mr. Arnold—What; are you a musician?
Witness—Ah, well; yes, I play the drum, that's all.
(Much laughter.)

J. Benson, 345, said that he heard that Frawley had
ill-
treated the musicians, and took him into custody, when he
violently assaulted him. O'Neil attempted to rescue him
with violence. Two or three other policemen perceived the
outrageous conduct of_both the defendants, and Frawley's
commission of further assaults.

Major Bamford proved lending the police assistance.
Frawley's conduct was most vicious. By his advice the
police turned Frawley upside down, and so carried him at
last quietly to the station. (Laughter.)
Mr. Arnold—lt was a military manoeuvre.
The Major—Yes.

Mr. Arnold—The police are much indebted to you for
the invention. (Laughter.)
Mr. Arnold committed Frawley for four months, and
ordered him to find bail; and fined O'Neil, who received an
excellent character, 40s.

MARKETS---This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market. Owing to the fineness
of the weather, and the extensive import from abrcad, the
trade was very dull, and prices were even lower thin on
Monday.
With foreign wheat, the market was extensively supplied.
For all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish state, and
the quotations had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at barely
late rates.
The supply of barley was large. The finest parcels fairly
supported the late improvement; but other kinds were
obtainable at reduced prices.
In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at late
rates.
The supply of oats was not to say extensive. The parcels,
being scarce, maintained their previous value; but inferior
produce sold heavily, at low prices.
Beans and peas moved off slowly, yet no ob.ange took
placeß
arirathe quotations.
Barrel fl our was in good supply, and slow request. at a
reduction of 6d per barrel. Other kinds met a dull inquiry
droopingat currencies.
