for four or fire Minutes whilst the Waterman went to look after
him, but he was nowhere to be found, and witness and his
friend were obliged to leave their seats.
The defendant did not deny being absent from his cab, but
he was cold and fatigued and he went to take some refresh-
ment. He was aware that the law required him to leave his
vehicle in the care of some licensed person, but he could not
find the Waterman. He went to a coffee-shop close by, and
not to his own home.
The Waterman proved that he was absent about ten minutes.
Mr. BENETT—Did he tell you to take care of his cab, or
where he was going ? Witness—He did not. I looked every
where for him, but could not find him.
Defendant—l had been out from eight o'clock in the morn-
ing and was unwell; Saturday was a bitter cold day, and I
was obliged to go for refreshment.
Mr. BENETT—You had no right to leave your cab whether
it cold or 'lot. I do not man to sae that you are not to

The defendant expressed his sorrow, and said he had a

Bryanston- square, have been on various occasions thrown into
. a state of considerable alarm in consequence of disturbances
of a very serious nature, which have taken place at the house
No. 40, in the above street, arising out of the refusal of a man
named Batson (by whom the shop and parlour were occupied)
to quit the apartments, which he had thought fit to damage by
every means in his power, and, in addition thereto, had caused
mobs of two to five hundred people to assemble in front of the
dwelling, in the windows of which he had exhibited certain
placards, reflecting on the character and conduct of Mr.
Robert Goldsworthy, to whom the said house belonged.
The nuisance at length arrived at so great a pitch, that the
neighbours had determined upon calling a meeting, with
the intention of presenting a memorial upon the subject
to the Secretary of State, the police considering that it
was no part of their duty to interfere with respect to the
dilapidations going on w,thin doors, or removing the offen.
sive papers exhibited; end that they were not justified in
exercising their power furOcr than in dispersing any as-
semblage of persons by whom the public thoroughfare was
obstructed. The aid of the force was, however, deemed im-
peratively necessary on Wednesday when, a desperate conflict
took place, in the course of which an Inspector of the D di-
vision was, together with some constables and private indivi-
duals, attacked with swords and other dangerous weapons, and
some of the parties much wounded and bruised. Yesterday
morning, Henry Batson and Joseph Mansell, the former a
shoemaker, and the latter a hackney coachman, both of whom
were on the previous night taken into custody, were brought
up from the station-house, guarded by a number of constables,
and followed by a mob of about one hundred and fifty persons,
and placed at the bar before Messrs. HOSKINS and BURRELL,
on the charges of riotous and disorderly conduct, and assault-
ing the police in a most murderous manner.

After hearing evidence at considerable length, Mr. Hos-
KINS said to the prisoners—You will both find good bail for
your appearance to answer this charge, which is one of a most
serious nature, at the Sessions, and you ought to feel most
thankful that ycu will not have to be put upon your trial for
your lives. I shall require the most unexceptionable security,
and it is to be hoped that the injured parties will not fail to go
on with the prosecution.
The cffice was then cleared, and the prisoners locked up.
