Another witness confirmed the statements made.

Upon the part of the defendant, Mr. Wright, a clerk,
who was on the spot, said that an obstruction took
place near Hankey's bank, and he heard the lady deny
that any offence had been given. A scuffling then took
place between the two gentlemen, and the defendant got
the worst of it.

Aldermon Salomons said it appeared t 3 him that Mr.
Chapman had adequately retaliated as to the assault,
and therefore no penalty should be inflicted in that case.
With respect to the insult to the lady there could be no
excuse or palliation in that case, and altnough the citi-
zens of London were disposed to be forbearing towards
foreigners, it was quite impossible to let such conduct as
had been described pass without the infliction of a pe-
nalty of 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment.

GUILDHALL.—DanieI Cayley was placed at the bar
before Alderman IVluggeridge, charged with maliciously
throwing a quantity of vitriol in the face and eyes of
William Donovan, with the felonious intention of doing
him some grievous bodily harm.
Police-constable 280 said he saw a great mob collected
in front of the engine-house in Farringdon-street, and
ascertained from one of the bystanders that the prisoner
had thrown a bottle of vitriol in the prosecutor's face.
The prisoner immediately ran away, and witness followed
and took him into custody. On being told the charge
he denied it ; but his clothes and hands were stained
with vitriol. On the way to the station he kept threaten-
ing the prosecutor that he would " split," meaning he
would inform against him if he appeared to press the
charge. The prosecutor's eyes were much better, but
his neck was in an awful state, and the reason of his non-
appearance was that the prisoner's companions had told
him his life would not be safe if he came forward. Wit-
ness further said that the prisoner and the prosecutor
were both of them well known thieves, and at the time
the offence was committed they were in company with
about thirty or forty other thieves quarrelling about the
division of their ill-gotten spoils.
A medical certificate from the hospital was put in, con-
firming the officer's account of the injuries the prosecu-
tor had received, and the prisoner was then remanded
for the production of the prosecutor.

having been found in a common gaming-house, the
Strangers' Club (Morris's), No. 66, St. James-street.
Mr. O'Brien. the superintendent of the C division,
having produced his authority for entering the house,
66, St. James's-street, said—This morning, about a quar-
ter to three o'clock, I went with Inspector Lester and
some constables to the house, and as I approached the
door I saw a person who was stationed outside pull the
door bell. We entered the passage without obstruction.
Stewart opened the next door, and Ford the door
beyond that, which brought us to the stairs. On
the landing I found a door covered with baize and
iron, Very strong. I told the
,constables to force
that door. The trial was made, but without effect.
I told the constables to try the posts and side of the
stairs, but on doing this it was found they bad been
strengthened since the last visit of the police, with
thick plates of iron. As it was useless to attempt to
force an entrance there, I told the constable to try the
bottom part of the staircase, and after some considerable
damage was done, the door was opened. I entered the
