with his two friends, when, in passing the end of
Bowyer-lane, a gang of five or six men, who were g.,ing
in a contrary direction, came upon them, and before be
had time to distinguish the features of any of them he
was struck a violent blow on the bridge of the. nose
which knocked him down into the mud. While he was
lying on the ground two other fellows fell upon him, with
whom he had a severe struggle, during which they beat .
him about the body ; and he attributed their not having
robbed him besides to the circumstance of his having his
great coat on, which was buttoned tightly from the neck
down to the lower part of the waist. He felt the hands, -
of one of his assailants round his waist, as if he was feel-
ing for the pockets wherein he kept either his watch or
his money. During the period occupied by the attack
upon complainant, his two friends were assaulted by
others of the gang, who all ran away down Bowyer-lane
when an alarm was made and the police called for. 3r%
Hawkins added that he subsequently went in pursuit of
his assailants, and succeeded in securing Mannick, who
ran up a court leading out of Bowyer-lane, where he
was found concealed behind a water-butt. The other
prisoner was taken into custody within a short distance
of the spot where the outrage was committed.
In reply to Mr. Traill, the complainant said that he
was walking between his two friends at the time he was
struck, and that they were going quietly along conversing
when he received the blow which felled him to the ground.

After some further evidence was gone into, the priso-
ners were remanded for further examination.

her, and in an impudent manner asked her if she knee'
him. She told him she did not, and he then invited her

and quickened her pace for the purpose of relieving
herself from the annoyance. The prisoner kept up
with her, and as he went along put his arm round bee
waist.. She begged of him to leave her alone, and said if he did
not he would be sorry for it. He still continued putting hit
arm round her waist, and afterwards conducted himself
in a most gross manner, and tried to throw her on the
ground. She remonstrated with him on the imsroPrietY
of his behaviour, and said he should suffer for having it"
suited her. The defendant, on hearing this, became
more violent than ever, said he would split her head open,
and made use of the most abominable expressions, wPie.,"
