CHARGE Or AsSAITLT.
Joicp4 Limy Elliott had two indictments against
hirn. . One for assaulting James Pain,• who styled
'himself a headborough of the parish of St. Luke,
Ohi-street, . and the other for assaulting Dix
Moore, who gave the like description of himself.
Mr. WALeoao stated the case on the part of
•the prosecution, wherein •he observed, that in
both charges the aggravation was.vety great, in-
asmuch as the defendant being a publican, and
therefore. more called upon to preserve the peace
than ordinary persons, he had not only broken it,
but assaulted those whose ditty it was to keep the
peace and prevent disturbances.
He called the two prosecutors,r who ..:swore in
support of their respective charges,- as did two
witnesses, whom they brought in their aid.
They were severally cross-examined by Mr.
BARRY 'on behalf of the defendant, wherein they
admitted that the parish did not support them in
these prosecutions, and that one of them was a
little intoxicated. He then addressed the Court
and Jury,for the defendant, at considerable length,
wherein he admitted that officers of justice ought
to be protected in the execution of their duty ; but
if officers of justice abused their authority, or
acted diametrically opposite to it; then he main-
tained that they deserved punishment infinitely
more than. other individuals ; and he' would un-
dertake to'sliew that the prosecutors in this in-
stance were men, Whose conduct,..Upon the occa-
sion in question, was of that descriptjun its „vmdd
