had particular business with him. When complainant returned
to the hotel, between five and six o'clock the same evening,
Rickaby called again, and having introduced himself, inquired
if he had not accepted two bills to the amount of 4,000/. ?
Complainant replied in the affirmative, adding at the same
time that he had been swindled cut of them, not having re-
ceived a penny for them ; and that the person with whom he
had the transaction, and who called himself Antrobus, a
money lender, had absconded suddenly with them. Rickaby,
on hearing this, said, " Oh, that's all I want ;" and was going
away, when he (complainant) stopped him, and begged ho
would inform him where his bills were lying ; that he could
not afford to lose them. " Then, Sir," said Rickaby, " come
to Sackvillc-street and I will see what can be done ;" and
they accordingly went there, but did not see Antrobus ; and it
was then decided, at Rickaby's request, that they should
proceed to his house, No. 1, Bridge House-place, New-
ington, where he said, on their arrival, he should give him uP
his two bills for 2001. each. Complainant finding that he
had no other alternative, agreed to the proposition, and
when they got to Bridge-house-place, Rickaby requested him
to remain in his house ''or about ten minutes, while he went

short distance off. Complainant, however, remained for a
full hour and a half, at the expiration of which time RickabY

returned, and, pulling out of his pocket a bill for 2,0001., ex-
hibited it to the complainant, and asked him if it was not one of
those that Antrobus had taken possession of ? Complainant
answered in the affirmative, and said that if Rickaby would
return with him to Long's Hotel he would there arrange with
him. Rickaby acquiesced, and when they got to the hotel the
complanant left the former with his brother in the coffee-room,
telling him that lie wanted to absent himself for a short time,
fur the purpose of getting the 2001. and get back his 2,0001.
bill. Complainant then left the room with the view of ob-
taining advice how he was to act in this emergency, but upon
his return he found that Rickaby had made a precipitate re-
treat from the house soon after he (complainant) had quitted
it. The following (Sunday) morning complainant rode over
to Bridge-house-place on horseback, accompanied by his
groom, kind, on seeing Riekaby, esked him why he did not
wait for him the evening before? The reply was, " your
brother told me that he would not pay so much for the restora-
tion of your bills, and I will not have any more to do with you
unless you pay the money down." Rickaby was then
'
pro-
ceeding
up stairs, when complainant seized him by the co
,
lar, saying that he should give him into custody for having
felonious possession of his two bills. Rickaby endeavoured
to disengage himself, during which a severe struggle took
place between them, in the height of which, as alleged 13Y
complainant, his antagonist called out for assistance, and the
defendant, James Joseph, then made his appearance, when
Rickaby called out to him, " Get the poker, and knock his
brains out." Joseph then run into one of the rooms and
brought out a poker, and while Rickaby and complainant
were struggling with each other the defendant aimed a blow
at his heed, which, however missed, and the force of it
broke the banisters. In the affray, which still continued, the,
complainant, who had a stick, struck Rickaby on the arm, and
disabled it ; and the same stick having been wrested from his
grasp, he was in his turn attacked with it, and received the
blow en the forehead, which cut it severely. By thin time the
whole neighbourhood was alarmed, and some of the po-
lice of the M division having come up to the scene of action'
complainant, whose face was streaming down with blood froin
the wound in his forehead, insisted upon their taking beth
Rickaby and Joseph into custody. Rickaby, however, ,Y 23
found to be so severely hurt that he was not removed froin
his house, but the other defendant (Joseph) was taken into
custody.
Sergeant Twohig, M division, stated, that on Sunday Walt
ing, between ten and eleven o'clock, hearing the cries of
" Police I" he proceeded to Rickaby's house, and saw the
complainant at the door, with his forehead cut and his face
covered with blood.
Mace, one of the Marlborough-street officers, in the distritt,
of which office the bill transaction took place, stated that frr
the description the complainant had given of the person who
called himself Antrobus, he (the officer) believed his name te
be Coyle, a man well known at most of the gaming-houses at
the west end of the town, and known to the police as having
been engaged in transactions of this description before. ,00
It was stated that attempts had been made to compronn,'
the affiir, but the complainant was dissuaded from SIiCJ
course by Mr. Codd, under whose advice he had adopted the
present proceeding.
As the assault on complainant was not distinctly proved:
have been committed by the defendant Josephs, he was v;;-
charged ; hut a warrant was granted against Rickaby,
fraudulently receiving the bills, and having them in his E°,--
sion. The Magistrates, however, directed the officer to w.'n"
the execution of the warrant was intrusted not to put Ricks,;‘,
,L'r
to any inconvenience if he was found still to be labouring unrd
illness, but that it was their determination to make him ulliox
sureties to answer the charge preferred against him by tto
complainant nt the Central Criminal Court. With respeetd to
the man calling himself Antrobus, complainant was advtge es,
give notice of the circumstances under which his accepter h.
were procured from him to the Magistrates of Marlboroug'
street, in which district the offence was committed.
