T O WN- HALL, S 0 UTH WAR K.

Jeremiah Dugg,in, an Irishnun, ieith his face o! e
mass of contus.ons aA his cio•hes bloody, was
brought before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY, from the
Borough Garipter, charged %%jai a murderous assault.

Ai the prisoner was being placed at the bar, Mr.
Alderman THORP entered the Zee, and t,hserving
him, exclaimed, " Good God! what has this man
been about

James Ware, a policeman, with his lips mangled
and bleeding, said that between twelve and une oa
Friday night he saw the prisoner, who was very
drunk, quarrelling with akuther man facing Bull-
court, Tooley-street. He endeavoured to separate
them, and told the prisoner to go home, but he
would not; he, Ware, then endeavoured to get the
other man away, and while so doing the prisoner
came behind him and struck him 'down ; at this
time a fellow-policeman, named John Cottrell, came
to his assistance, and laid hold of the prisoner, who,
throwing himself upon his knees, fastened his teeth
upon a certain part of Cottrell's person with such
savage determination, that when at length foiced
from his hold, Cottrell was taken to Guy's Hospi-
tal, where he remained under the care of several sur-
geons. Ware added, that in bringing the prisoner
from the Compter that morning he struck him seve-
ral blows, which occasioned his present appearance.

The prisoner here bared his Creasr, and called on
the Alderman to look at him. " Yew me," he
sa.d," and say whether I an't a fit object for a hospi-
tal myself, bruised as I am by that villain (pointing
to Ware) and his confederate."—(lle appeared to
have been roughly treated.)
Nirare—You are a villain, and the lives of the
police are in danger from you : knowing it, I did not
attempt to touch you, but looked to the o. her man.
Alderman ANSLEY (to the prisoner)—You are
not fit to be at large ; this is not the first time by
many that you have been here for similar outrages,
and my firm conviction is that, unless well ',liked
after, you will one day render yourself amenable to
the host visitation of the law.

" I know nothing of that," said the prisoner; " I
only stood in self-defence."
Both the Aldermen agreed in the necessity of
committing the prisoner for trial, Alderman /INSLEY
desiring the gaoler, as he was taking him away, to
look well to him.

We have heard that in the session of Parlia-
ment following the next a Bill will be brought terward,
and by the wearer of an Archiepiscopal mitre, to oblige the
Spiritual Lords to relinquish their seats in parlia'nent.—
