after a lengthened holiday, to be set in motion for
good as well as evil purposes. The process-serveer
starved out by the recess, could scarcely restrain his
glee within reasonable bounds. The old barristers
appeared in their accustomed places as of old, but no:
with renovated wigs. The short-hand writers looked„
quite fresh, and ready to take any quantity of "notes,
and to undergo any quantity of toil. Law had got
back again to her accustomed haunts, and all went
" merry as a marriage bell."
The Judges and Queen's Counsel appeared 41 -

David Gray, a dirty-looking fellow, was brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk, and

married woman, residing at No. 30, Little Windt:nig'

It appeared that on the previous afternoon the cony'
plainant was proceding along Foley-street, in con'
pany with two female friends, when the defendant
came up and touched her on her shoulder, and said,
"My dear, where are you going ?" Complainant
replied, " I beg you will not insult me, I am 5
respectable married woman ;" and requested him to
go away. He, however, still persisted in his
annoyance, and took hold of her bonnet with
one hand, and with the other assaulted her
in a manner not fit to be described. Com'
plainant laid hold of his waistcoat and said she
would give him in charge, and called out to one of
her friends to run for a constable. He struggled to
get away, and in her endeavours to hold him be
threw her down and fell upon her. Some of his com-
panions then came up and urged him to give her ni
"rap" on the head, and run away. He then struck
her a violent blow on the head, and attempted to
escape, but a constable very opportunely came up and
took him into custody. Complainant Was aufferinif
severely
from the prisoner's violence.
