the du nn moving a resolution, and took hold of his
hand, and asked for a few moments' conversation with
him. When he heard that his name was Beniowski he
walked wary- fr,rn Litil The ‘vitr...ss then diitailed the
facts of the assault, which are already familiar to the
public from the report of the preliminary investigation
at Bow-street.

Cross-examined by Mr. WYLD (who in the interim
had been engaged by defendant)—He had not been
politically engaged since his return from Constanti-
nople. There was a cause for his quitting that situation•
That cause was the 'act of his having countenanced the
voyage of the Vixen to the Black Sea. He had not
been employed since, but he believed the reasons why
he had not were groundless. He bad not made any
charge stating that Lord Palmerston and Mr. Cobden
were in the pay of the Emperor of Russia.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he did not see what
light the jury could derive from any arrangements
between the Emperor of Russia, Lurd Palmerston, or
Mr. Cobden.

Cross-examination resumed.—He had no occasion to
look out for his litel,hood since his employment had
ceascd in 1837. as he had an independent property.
When. ver he sent any communications to the newspapers,
he invariably attached his name and address to them. He
had Vi ritten leading articles, but, as a matter of course,
his name did not appear to them. A work had been
published at Glasgow, in which the name of the defen-
dant had been used. He had on many occasions said
the defendant was a spy, but in any observations he made
upon him, he only alluded to him in his public character,
a , one of a class of agents who are employed, or may be
employed, or looking for employment, from Russia, in
this and other countries. One of his grounds for con-
cluding the defendant to be in pay, was, that he was ex-
ceedingly active in exciting the people to revolution in
England, and Lad been the chief organiser of the Chartist
conspiracy. His (defendant's) name was struck off the
Polish list by the English Government. Another reason
why he believed the defendant to be a spy was, because
he had published a work instructing the people as to the
best means of defending themselves against the military.
Mr. BODKIN re-examined the witness, he said when
that after his return from Constantinople, he was pre-
sented to her Majesty at the Drawing-room, by Lord
Palmerston, to prevent any unfavourable impression
from resting on his character, in consequence of his meal
from the embassy at Constantinople. With respect to
his (defendant's) relation towards the Poles, he (witness)
spoke upon the authority of Lord Dudley Stuart, and
he was authorised to state so. In 1839 he was invited
to stand for the borough of Marylebone, and in cows'
quence he had much communication with the leading
Chartists of London, and he was borne out in his
opinions of Beniowski by what he was told by them.
The Rev. Hamilton Grey confirmed the statements of
the prosecutor with respect to the facts of the assault.
The police-constable, who took the defendant into
custody, and the surgeon who attended Mr. Urqhart,
having been examined,

Mr. WiLD addressed the jury at great length for the
defendant, dwelling strongly on the great provocation he
had received in being denounced as a spy.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE summed up the evidence.
After a short consultation, the foreman of the jury rote
and said we are obliged to find the defendant Guilty.
Sentence was deferred to the next session, the de-
fendant being admitted to bail on his own recognizancet•

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Julia McCartney, a servant-of-all-work, was charged
with assaulting her master, Mr. Hass, a master tin'
manufacturer, of No. 2, Middlesex-street, Spital-square•
The com?lainant, who is of the Jewish persuasion,
and whose head and face were literally covered with
plaister, and his left arm in a sling, stated that he er:
rived home last evening, at about half past eight
o'clock, with his three sons, from the Synagogue, when
he found his wife, who is near her confinement, outside
the door, and being supported by two strangers, the cause
of which, he learnt, was the conduct of the prisoner'
who had threatened to " knife her." He went into the
parkur of his house, where the prisoner stood, but Ole
had no sooner seen him than she snatched up the tW
candlesticks which were upon the table, and before ke
.
could prevent it, she struck him violently on the head with
each of them. He fell, and she then bit him in the arm'
and tore the flesh through the coat and shirt. The cons'
plainant here showed a deep and dangerous wound in
the sinewy part of his arm. The defendant was the
worse for liquor.
Mrs. Hass stated that the prisoner was sent out with
the youngest child to feed it. It was the Jews' Passover;
and the bread they eat themselves during that period
was not fit food for infants. It was therefore the pre'
tice among the Jewish parents to have the young!
children fed from home on these occasions. When et'"
came home she had evidently been drinking, and duriliei
the day had procured more drink. Witness remonstrat A
with her, but she was answered with the vilest abuse, ell
at length the prisoner snatched up a table-knife en'
swore she would " do for her with it."
beard
The prisoner here expressed, loud enough to be he
by several persons near the dock in which she was sten°
ing, her regret that she had not done it.
Mr. BROUGHTON said he should send her to pris°l"
but she must be brought up again next week.
