ESTMIN Snit SESSWAS.

Thanvisluias was.yestetd y inklitaed for assaulting
Hart Levy, .a Jew cluthesman. From the evidence
of the, prosecutor. it appealed, that he was poristting
his business, and dealing with some of his customers,
near a stand of hackney coaches; in Charles•street,
Covent Garden, when the Defendant, who is himself
gentleman of the whip, but not a Member of the
Whip Club, assailed the Prosecutor, and, in lan-
guage not the most decorous, but the most flippant,'
charged hica with being a common cheat and, noto-
rious swindler, at the.satue time cautioning-the cos-
tumers not to deal with him. Whereupon the
Hebrew threatened him with an 'adieu. of datnaget
for slandering his fairtkime and reputation ; this not
being much relished by Jai vis, he vowed he should
have soine reason to take !stela to Westminster Hall,
and leaving his coach and horses, retired to a pUblic-
house for a lei minutes, -,to give ze,t to his elbow,
on his.ret urn from Whence) lie .servcd thy poor-Jew
with a dextrous facet under the wheels cif his cc.acti,•
and, mounting his box, drove oif.--'Phi's was proved
by another,witness.
The 'Defendant endeavoured to justify the assault,
by stating, that the Prosecutor
,lead spit'in his face;
to :prove which another hackney-coachman was
called ; but,as Moses recognised in him an old cus-
tother,.WhoM he was recently obliged to stunmon
w the Cullit of Conscience for the value of an old
coat lie,had sold him some time ago, his testimony
got very little Credence, and the Defendant was
found Court sentenced him to. a
short 'imprisonment.
Several
,petty larcenies• were tried, among which
viletre7l:man and a woman, for stealing pewWr,pots ;
former wps sentenced: to suffer six monthi iin-
prisonment, aid the latter three "months impriion-
