BOW-STREE'r.-(THIS D►AY.)

Thomas Goold, one of the beadles of the parish of St.
Martin-in-the-Fields, appeared before Mr. Jardine, to answer
a summons, charging him with assaulting Mr. Foster, known
under the name of Thorne, of the Morning Post newspaper.
Mr. Foster's case, proved by himself, and partly corrobo-
rated by several witnesses, was that, on the occasion of the
inquest on the late accident at the Hungerford-bridge pier,
he, Mr. Forster, attended for the Times newspaper. He was
not accommodated as well as he could wish by the beadle,
who told him to get out of the way, and on his refusing to do
so struck him very violently.
Goold in his defence called three witnesses, who all
said that Mr. Foster was not sober, and that he abused the
beadle, called

-
About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the defendant, while
driving at a furious rate in Hyde Park, from Cumberland to
Grosvenor-gate, a one-horse tour wheel carriage, in which
were two ladies and two children, ran against Lord Ran-
furley's brougham, containing the three Misses Knox. The
defendant, without stopping, drove recklessly on, and on his
Lordship's page running after him to obtain his address, he
struck him violently with his whip, and knocked his hat off.
After turning from Grosvenor-gate into Park-lane, he ran
against another gentleman's carriage; his horses were then
in a furious gallop.. Ile was stopped and taken into custody
by the police.
Mr. MAIZBY asked if the defendant was intoxicated?—
The constable said he was very much so. . _

The defendant said his horse was not able to gallop at a fu-
rious rate of speed,
Mr. MALTBY said it was a very bad case, and he should
therefore fine the defendant 21. for furiously driving, and 31,
for the assault on Lord Ranfurley's page.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH FOR 1001. A SIDE.—
Yesterday, the long pending match between Robert Fuller, of London.
formerly well known as the most celebrated walking pedestrian of
Ins day, and Samuel East, of Westminster, a yowl',' aspirant to the
champion's honours, came off near the Duke of York, Gannick-
corner, Barnet, kept by 'Frank Keys (the old Bow-street officer).
The men were matched to walk a fair toe-and-beet match lot twenty
distance for a stake of 2001. Fuller has followed the avocation
of a trainer of pugilists' and Bast has been engaged in performing
Pedestrian races, and has defeated some flrzt-rate men. In tha
betting, E:kst, who has the advantage of being younger than his op-
ponent, was the favourite at odds.. The start was made at a clippin;
pace, at which time a considerable concourse of persous were present
and a large sem of money was floating on the race. The first tube
was turned in eight minutes and a half; Fuller at the lead. East
then showed in front, and maintained the lead. At ten miles Er at
was at an advantage of four buldred yards. The men continued at
first-rate speed, although it was quite manifest East was the winn Off
Man. The race was kept up till the 18th mile, when Fuller. titall..g
all chance of winnlig over, reluctantly gave up the contes ; aad
East went in the winner, abed won the 2001. stakes. Large sums •ot
money were laid on Fuller. It was the general opinion he had over-
trained, and was not competent to the distants.
