CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

George Hughie was charged with assaulting Isaac
Wheeldon, an officer of the County Court, and Joseph
Brocker, his assistant, while in the execution of a pro-
cess from that court, against Henry Baker.
From the evidence of the officer and his assistant, it
appeared that the prisoner and Baker resided together
at No. 7, Phillips's-buildings, Somers-town, where they
carried on business as pipe• manufacturers. Yester-
day evening the officer went to arrest Baker,
and upon entering the Hall, heard Mrs. Baker call out
" Make off, Harry, here are the bums," immediately
after which Hughie came up to them in the Hall, and
endeavoured to prevent them passing in, and struck
Wheeldon a violent blow, which blackened his eye
and also struck Brookes several times. They rtated
that they had repeatedly told Hughie they were officers
of the County Court, but he still continued to strike at
them, until a policeman arrived, when he was given into
custody.
The prisoner, In his defence, denied that the complain.
ants had ever informed him who they were, and called
Mrs. Baker, who swore that they rushed past Hughie in
a most violent manner, and pushed him about very
roughly in the Hall, without having, either then or sub-
sequently, described themselves as bailiffs.
Mr. GREENWOOD said although a recent Act enlarged
the powers of the 9th Geo. IV., and empowered two
magistrates to decide summarily in cases of attacks, or
attempts at rescue, upon bai4ffs of the Small Debts
Court, still he thought under all the circumstances of
the present case, it would be most advisable to send it
to a jury, and he should, therefore, commit the prisoner
for trial at the ensuing sessions, but would accept bail
for his appearance.

THE STATUE.
TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,—lt may not have reached you yet, but by and
by the true reason may come out for the sudden deter.
mination to remove the statue. There is at the Opera
House the very fac simile, which is used in Don Juan,
only that is without a hit. Yours,
A LOOKER ON.
