Frederick Bates, porter in the service of the Duke of
Brunswick, appeared before Mr. Rawlinson, charged
with assaulting Miss Ann Johnson, at the mansion of
his Serene HiOiness, Harley House, Ulster-place, Re-
gent's Park. On the name of the defendant beim!,
called, Hooker, the warrant-officer, stated that he had
been denied at the house, upon which the complainant
accompanied the officer to the mansion, when upon
being identified by the complainant, he attended at the
court.

The complainant, who stated that she was an autho-
ress, and lived at No. 117, High Holborn, said that on
the 26th of last month she called on his Serene High-
ness for the purpose of forwarding a packet to him. She
saw the defendant, who opened the door to her, and she
requested him to take the packet to his master. He
asked her whom she had it from, Complainant replied
it was from herself. He then said he would not take it,
upon which complainant remarked that the Duke of
Brunswick knew her perfectly well, and that it would be
all right if he would take it. He then closed the door
with great violence. Complainant subsequently went
to Mr. Wanford, the solicitor of the Duke of Bruns-
wick.

11r. RAWLINSON—Confine yourself to the assault.
What was the nature of the injury you received?
Complainant—Two of my fingers were nearly jammed
in the door, and my right hand and foot were much
hurt.

Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, what do you say to the
assault ?

Defendant—l did not know that the door touched
the woman.

Mr. RkwuNaom—You forced the door in a way you
ought not to have done.
Defendant-4 did not, sir.
Mr. RawiazisoN—She swears that you did. She came
for a lawful purpose, and you might have shut the door
with mildness.

DefendantLl tohl.her I could not take the packet in.
Mr. Itawmiisoii—Have you power to refuse anything?
Defendant—Without knowing from whom it comes.
Complainant—Had he looked at my letters, ho would
have known his master's handwriting. He would not
give me time to show them.

The defendant was fined 10s., or fourteen days' im-
prisonment.

LAMBETIL

Alfred Marshall, the young man who bad been ex-

amined on the preceding day on a charge of firing a
loaded pistol at Miss Louisa Rofe, with whom he was
desperately in love, was again placed at the bar before
Mr. El.iott.

Mr. Bi3ns, the attorney, appeared for the prosecution;
and Mr. Games for the defence.

After the examination of one witness, who deposed
to having seen the prisoner throw a stone orer the
paling, and at the door of the house where the prosecu-
trix lived,

Mr. Binns made an application to the magistrate to
have the prisoner further remanded, so as to give him
time to summons threw witness, whose testimony in the
case was most important.
Mr. Games said he had no objection whatever to a re-
mand, provided the young man was admitted to bail, as
it was the wish of his client, as well as his friends, that
the fullest investigation should take place.
The prisoner was remanded for a week, but was ad-
mitted to bail, himself in 801. and two sureties in 401.
each, to appear on Tuesday next.
THAMES.

William Handley, a police-constable, No. 85 ll' ap-
peared before Mr. Ballantine, by order of the Corr tois-
sioners of Police, to answer a charge of uttering a coun-
terfeit crown-piece.
Mary Simon, of No. 29, Hosier-lane, Smithfield,
stated that during the last Whitsuntide fair she was
assisting her mother, who opened a shop for the sale of
provisions, at the corner of Fairfield-place, Stepney. On
the evening of Wednesday, the 26th of May, the pri-
soner asked for a penny loaf and tendered in payment a
crown-piece. She was unable to give change, and went
to the White Lion beer-shop, the next door but one to
the house she was in, to procure it. She returned with
ss. worth of good silver, and the policeman was then
standing outside the door, where the left him. He was
eating the loaf which he had purchased. She requested
him to wait a short time longer until she obtained some
coppers. She met her father-in-law, and asked him for
fivepence, which he gave her. As she was returning to
the house she met the policeman crossing the road eating
the loaf, but he did not ask her for the change or visit
the shop any more. On the following morning Mr.
Scarr, the landlord of the beer-house, returned the
crown-piece and said it was a bad one.
Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor, put some questions to
the witness, who said the police- constable was standing
outside the shop when he asked for the loaf, and when he
gave her the crown-pie re he held it on the tip of his
finger. She said, " I must get you to wait till I procure
change."
The prisoner cross-examined the woman with much
acuteness, and asked her if he did not give her the
crown-piece in mistake for a penny. She replied in the
negative. He then questioned her as to whether he
heard her say that she would procure change. She
would not swear whether he heard her or not.
The policeman, in answer the charge, said he was
