MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, DEC.. 6.

THE KING 7.,, J. WEBB WESTON. .
Mr. ADOLPHUS called the attention of the Court to this
case, upon which a verdict had •on Wednesday been pro-
nounced. He now held in his hand two . affidavits, which he
,`should put in, in the .regular. form to be filed, to give an oppor-
tunity to the other side.to . answer them. •It was his intention 4
to move in arrest of judgment, but the argument he should at
present postpone. In the event of a failure in this motion, be
should then submit that no judgment ought to be passed upon
the defendant under the peroliar circumstances of the case.
Mr. ALLEY, who appeared as Counsel for the prosecution,
hoped that affidavits tending in any way to contradict or in.-
pugs the verdict . would not be received. If these affidavits
- were only in mitigationof punishment, of course he could have
ito objection to their being tiled. He certainly did not wish to
press the judgment at the present moment, if the defendant
Wished it to be postponed. -•
The CHAIRMAN thought no objection could be made to the
filing the 'affidavits.. `They might contain some novel matter, or
Pew documents which might be extremely importantin the co"
..., -
.sideration of the case.
The Affidalti,4 were then filed, and the defendantlyas ordered
to appear on Monday morning, to receive the ludgment.Of .the
'Court. . ' ' 4
John Riley was indicted by hirapprentice, a young man of
the name of Lovemore, for an assault. The defendant was a
respectable linendtaper, living in Oxford-road, and,had received
from his apprentice a hundred guineas as a premium.
The assault now complained of was of the most triffingde-
scription. The apprentice, on the 16th of October, was desired
by Miss Riley to. remove some dusty papers„ and he refused to
comply, saying that he would remove them to-morrow morning-.
'Miss Riley informed her father (the defendant) of this miseoll-
- and Mr.. Riley immediately committed the assault now.
Complained of, by collaring and kicking the prosecutor. i '
The.CHAIRMAN 'suggested,. that in this case a juror shottil
be withdrawn : It would be better for all parties,, who seem . ,
to be respectable, that this course should be taken. - . -
_.,
Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defendant, consented, l"i' ----‘
ed, that he could produce most respectable witnesses

Mr. ALLEY, for the prosecution, wished the case to be refer'
,
'red to some Barrister. --. .. .

Mr. ADOLPHUS.—NO,; it shall not be so t' 1 will have eo

Mr. Abot.pnus.—l am not angry : I am oily ro.litir-

.A juror was then withdrawn. - -.
'Mr. ADOLPH ITS Added, that he was only anxious that
apprentice shottkl be compelled to serve out hii thne with
-i-laster. It was too frequent a trick practised, by appreiVices
earn their master's business in two years, and then to 4
..
itheir service. ' '
