Mr. Kent, ~whOce4ies rite 4rSt,flOorin 11*.•Prosc!-
(...Ik)r's house: They were referred to a bell Which
leads to those 'apartments ; upon which they both,
as if with onevoice, asked the ProsCtorwhy he could
no't ringit himself. He.- replied, 'that they had got,
their answer: itivon- this theyattempted to go on
from the shOp, in which they then were,-.to the par-
lour. There were some friends in company with
Mrs. Lavoi. at .the time, and. the Prosecutor held out
his arm in order to prevent them from doing in.--
'Upon this, Mr. John Jennings seized the,Prosecutor
by the collar, and :Edward, the elder brother, struck
him on 'the left eye. They both dragged him into
the street, .where they. ttrew him down, and then
thumped and kicked him until they left him almost
a state of insensibility.
Mrs. Simmons, of 48 t,, in the Strand, was mine
.parlour at the time. She saw the Prosecutor col-
lared, dragged into the street, and upwards of 30
or 40 persons assembled together immediately about
the door, so that she was unable to see what passed
until the mob had partly separated, when she as-
sisted in helping Mr. L. into the house.
Sarah Catchpole, servant to Mr. L. corroborated
the former testimony, adding, that whilst the mob
was about the door, she heard some one in the crowd
say, .I).n.liitn, rip him up—he's only a sales-
man."

'Mr. Kent never before saw the Defendants,' and
he urged them in vain to state what was the occa-
sion Of their visit to his dwelling. Two guineas re-
ward bad 'been Offered.by Mr. Kent fur the disco-
very.'a the parties....
The warrant against the Defendants were obtained
three days ago at this office, and yesterday John (the
younger brother) procured a warrant at Bow-street,
against -Mr. L. Both Warrants were referred from
the latter to the fbrmer office ; and one side having
new been-heard, two Of the 'parties changed places,
Mr. L. was put into the Dock and the younger
brother was desired to come into the accuser's
place, and
,tell his, story. The elder brother be-
came. indignant at his been left behind,
land in sueli company. He-declared with a solemn
asseveration; that he would not stay in the same
bos, with such a reseal, and immediately went
to anothe'r part of the. Office'. Mr. John Jen-
nings then proceeded. He went to ask for a man
of the ner.ne:oi.4 ry,:thy.l the man inithe shop, that
men that wasnow 'the, Prisoner, desired hint to ring
the bell ; upon which he did not knout but he
have said to the Man,. you might
,as well ring
it yourself, or some words to that etre& The man -
,then said, in a-coarse manner, that if he was not
afraid that he (the Prosecutor) would take the law
of him, .he would kick bitn. The-Proiecutor 'said,
that he would not; upon which the Defendant, that
man there (pointing at him); struck him, and cut
leach in the lip ; several blows were. exchanged be-
tween them, and at last they both fell.
tThe-elder Brother denied the cha-rge against hint
in toto, and accused the first Prosecutorof perjury..
The nigkstrate observed, that it appeared tobitn-to
be exti.einely iinprObable; that without any provoca-
tion whatever on the part of:either of the brothers,
Mr. L. should have committed 'the first assault. it
was much more rational iii conclude, that as
they
