had given out that the " Bedouin Arabs" were exhibiting;
there, whereas they were not to be seen at any other place!
than the Colosseum. This, it appeared, had aroused the
ire of the Bedouins, who conceived that it was an infringe-
ment upon their rights, and they would not be satisfied
until they had seen the Chief Magistrate of London to
know if he could not afford them redress.
Sir F. ROE saw them in private, and conversed with
them in French for some time, assuring them that even it
they had any real ground of complaint the case was not
one in which an English Magistrate had power to interfere.
From what he had learned he felt quite sure their talents
would work their own way, and the public would soon know
where the genuine Bedouins were to be seen.
The three Arabs, one of whom appeared near 50 years
of age, but all of them fine looking fellows, thanked Sir
Frederick for the attention he had shewn them, and de-
parted apparently satisfied.

MARYLEBOIVE:
Yesterday William Bassebe, a fashionably-dressed young
man, wearing mustachios, and who said he was a print
colourer, residing at No. 44, College-street West, Camden
Town, was brought up in custody and placed at the bar
before Mr. HosKINs, charged with having, by discharging
a pistol, shot and severely injured two boys named Collins
(residing with their father, a stone-mason, at. No. 21,
Archer-street, Camden Town), as also three other lads,
the sons of respectable tradesmen, residing in that neigh-
bourhood.
Mr. Collins stated that on the previous evening, about
o'clock, his two sons went out in a cart with three others ;
shortly after his sons were brought home wounded, and
saying a person who was in custody had fired a pistol at
them. He immediately sent for Mr. Blackstone, surgeon,
of High-street, who extracted two shots from the right arm
of the eldest boy, and one from the hip of the youngest.
They had since been obliged to keep their beds. Witness
understood that the other lads were all wounded, but none
of their parents had come forward.
Mr. H. Kam, pianoforte-maker, of No. 37, Hampden-
street, Somers Town, stated that he was standing in Col-
lege.street, when he saw a cart pass with five boys in it,
followed by a dog. Immediately after he saw the prisoner
go by with a pistol in his hand, which, when within a few
paces of the cart, he discharged, and the boys fell, scream-
ing dreadfully. It appeared to witness. that the prisoner
aimed at the dog, which at the time he fired was underneath
the cart.
The Magistrate here asked to whom the dog belonged,
and was answered by Mr. Collins, who said it was his.
Police constable Porter, S 55, said he was on duty in
College-street, when be heard an explosion, followed by
cries of distress ; he went to the spot, and saw the prisoner
with a pistol which had just been discharged in his hand.
On their way to the station-house the prisoner said he had
fired at the dog, which he thought was mad, and he was
quite willing to make any reparation for the injuries he bad
done.
The prisoner, in reply, said he was sitting in the par-
lour, when the dog spoken of came in howling and barking,
and snapped at him. He drove it out into the street, and,
believing it to be mad, as it had bit recently several per-
sons, he followed it with a pistol, which, on getting near,
he discharged at it, but the pistol was loaded with shot,
which scattered, and struck the boys.
Mr. Collins here said he could bring forward proof that
the dog- was not mad.
A poor woman stepped towards the bench, and, baring
her arm, said she was, about two months since, bit by the
dog, and obliged to have the piece cut out.
Mr. HOSKINS thought, after all he had heard, that what
had occurred was principally owing to Mr. Collins's keep-
ino• such a dog as had been described, and he therefore
should desire him to immediately destroy it (which Mr.
Collins promised to do), and require the defendant to find
bail for his appearance when called upon.
Bail was immediately tendered and accepted, and'. he
arties left the office.
