(Before the RECORDER., and Mes.srs. COPELAND, CARROL.,

and Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL, Aldermen.)
Richard Archer and John Suthea land were indicted fur
assaulting William Miller.
It appeared by the evidence that the parties met in
Cursitor-street, and an altercation having arisen a box-
ing match ensued, when the prosecutor received a severe
blow, in consequence of which he was confined for several
weeks in the hospital.
Mr. I'ayne defetaLd the prisonc-.-s, and cross ex-
amined the prosecutor, w1)0 said. his mother was matron
in the hospital, but he was admitted there as a patient,
and did not go as a visitor to her. More than a week
elapsed from the time of the assault until he- was ad-
mitted to the hospital, labouring under a concussion of
the brain. He had been previously affected with a
.brain
fever, but did not attribute his recent illness to it.
Several witneses haring been called for the defence,
who stated that Archer had never struck the prosecutor,

The RECORDE3 summed up, and said the que.,tion
fur the Jury to de,ide upon was, whether the parties mu-
tually agreed to fight, or whether Miller was struck by
the prisoners without any such agreement, as in the latter
case alone could an indictment fur assault be laid.

The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Rob'rt Shaw, alias Darrow, and Gorge Watson were
indicted for assaulting Mrs. Sarah Abrahams.
The brief-facts this case, which have been recently
before the public, ‘vero, that the two prisoners passed a
bad half-crown in the shop of the prosecutrix, and a po-
liceman, seeing them leave the shop, suspected what
had been their object, when he brought them back in
custody; and Mrs. Abrahams, having produced the half-
crown, the prisoner Shaw seized her by the. arm, and
snatched it from her hand, which he swallowed. Thc
other prisoner,Watson,calledout the cant phrase among
smashers—" Gnash it." From the tact of the prisoners'
having destroyed the half-crown no evidence could be ad-
duced against them of passing base coin, andin order that
they might nut entirely evade justice the present in•
dictment was laid. _ _

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri-
s•ner3 were sentenced to three months' imprisonment,
with hard labour. _ _

Several persons were indicted by the Police for keeping
houses of ill- fame,and sentenced to terms of imprisonment,
varying from six weeks to three months, and ordered to
enter into their own recognizances in the sum of 3001.,
to be of good behaviour for two years. The nuisances
complained of were mostly situated in the Courts lead-
ing from Fleet-street.
