MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Spencer Walsh, of No. 7, Arundel street, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
committed a dreadful assault with a poker on Willi im
Prentice, greengrocer, of 30, Pitfield-street, Hoxton.
The complainant, whose head was strapped up in
consequence of the dreadful injury he had sustained,
said he went, on Friday night, with a neighbour
named Henderson, to the defendant's residence in
Arundel-street, for the purpose of being witness to a
request for payment of a debt for bread supplied by
Henderson to the Rev. John Prendergast Walsh.
Henderson knocked at the door and inquired for Mr.
Walsh. The servant said he was at home, but so
many persons called for debts that she was ashamed
to go to him. The servant went to her mistress,
and she was desired to tell witness and Hender-
son to fo up stairs and knock at the Rev.
Mr. Walsh's door themselves. They were proceed-
ing up stairs when they met the defendant and his
brother. The defendant asked what they wanted ?
Henderson replied that he had called for a small bill
for bread supplied to his father. Defendant said his
father would not see them, and that he was satisfied
they had only come there to provoke a breach of the
peace. They denied this, upon which the defendant
lifted up a stick which he had in his hand, and struck
complainant on the arm. The defendant's father
came out of his room, and called out, "Go it, boys,
go and get the poker." The defendant went away,
but shortly afterwards returned with the poker. The
defendant came behind him, and struck him a blow
on the head, which beat in his skull, and stretched
him senseless on the ground. When witness reco-
vered he found the police had been called in, and the
defendant was given into custody.
Peter Henderson, baker, Pitfield-street, Hoxton,
said he had been unable to obtain ;payment for bread
supplied to the defendant's father. As the defendant's
father was in the habit of contracting debts, and re-
fusing to pay them, witness took the complainant
with him, and in order that he might hear what
would be said when he applied for the payment of
his bill. He acted this way because he had sum-
moned the defendant's father for the amount. Wit-
ness only heard by accident that the defendant's father
had removed his residence to Arundel-street. While
they were going up stairs they met the defendant,
who, after saying a few words to complainant, struck
him a blow with a stick, and subsequently with a
poker. The blow was a dreadful one, and witness
thought the complainant was killed. Not the least
provocation or offence was :given to the defendant.
Witness was so frightened that he ran down stairs
and alarmed the house. The police and a surgeon
were sent for.

James Ray, who was present at the time the as•
sault was committed, saw the defendant strike the
complainant with a poker.
The servant of the house saw the whole of the
assault, and confirmed the statement of the com-
plainant's witnesses. She saw the blow struck by
the defendant with the pokeil the blow was so violent
as actually to drive the poker out of the defendant's
hand. The complainant did not offer the least pro-
vocation.

The defendant denied that he had assaulted the
complainant. He said he had no stick in his hand,
but his brother had. He had at one time the poker,
but he did not use it.

Thomas Prendergast Walsh, the brother, said he
saw the poker in his brother's hand, but his brother
did not strike the complainant with it; the poker fell
on the banisters, amd might have touched the com-
plainant accidentally. The complainant and his com-
panion had made a noise in the passage, and had
threatened to break his father's wooden leg.
The father was then called. He positively denied
that his son had a poker at all. Ile swore that his
son had not struck the complainant with the poker,
and he denied that he called out " Go it, boys ! fetch
the poker!" He afterwards admitted that his son
had a poker in his hand, but it was only a very little
one. The poker struck the bannisters, and might have
touched the complainant's head by accident.
Three witnesses declared there was no truth in this
evidence.

Alr. HARDWICK remarked sharply on the conflict-
ing testimony of the defendant and his father and
brother witnesses. The assault, which was of a very
brutal nature, had been clearly proved, and if the
complainant wished he was willing to send the case
to the sessions.

The complainant said this course would be very
inconvenient to him.

Mr. IlAanNvicK then fined the defendant 51., the
full penalty, or two months' imprisonment.

REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTII.---TA.MWORTIip
SATURDAY.—Captain 1 can'-
thealetvtehne cobs'
didate yet in the field, Sir Francis Lawley and Slr..
John Townshend is the on y
Charles Clarke having positively declined the proffered
honour. The Gallant Officer, in his printed address;
says—" Since my arrival in Tamworth, the nuinero.ue
~
tenders of support which I have received from all peri.l,.
induce me to come forward on this occasion as a can
date for the distinguished honour of representing Y'3'!'
Parliament." He makes no declaration of his polits-10,1_
opinions, having on former occasions contested
n ttoe,
borough on Whig or Liberal principles. - At prese,l;
d, es not aear tat there will be any op9sition.
Robert Peel carefully abstains from anyp interferenc.e.
and it is presumed, after having voted for a Liberal in
North Warwickshire, he would rather support than c!r_
pose a gentleman' who entertained similar views for bit
own borough of " lovely " Tamworth. The friends er,
Mr. William Peel also appear indifferent as to the result
e!,
the election, so that the chances are that a Townshend
again represent a borough with which for ages preview'
to the ascendancy of the Peel interest the name and in
fluence of the family were identified. Capt. Townshend
has taken up his abode at the King's Arms, the Peel
head-quarters, and, as it is said, this afternoon pursued
most industriously a successful canvass among the
electors.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 4.—The brokora

poses; and though we cannot quote any positive decline,

maica, have been sold at fully former rates. The ire"
ports for the week have been 112 hogsheads, 3 tierceet
and 100 bags of sugar.
