MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
CA2rl2s Johnson, a young, flashy cab-driver, was charged'
with committing the following strange and unprovoked
outrage on Mr. Nichols, of No. 1, William-street, Manchester-
square, a respectable tradesman :
Between six and seven o'clock this morning Mr. Nichol%
having dressed himself after bathing, was walking by the -
edge of the Serpentine River, when the defendant, in passing
him with two other young viten, ran with all his might
against him, and pushed him into the water; they then set
up a horse laugh and walked on. One of the park constables,
however, came up at the instant, and took the prisoner iuto
custody.
Mr. launwicg. (to the complainant)—Did he push you
right into the river? Complainant—Completely, over heed'
and ears.—(A laugh.) He did not know whether it was out
of my depth or not.
The prisoner said he mistook the complainant for one of
his companions.
Mr. HARDWICK said he should teach him better in future;
he should, therefore, fine him 505., or one month's imprison'
ment to hard labour.
The prisoner, not having the required amount about him,
was locked up.
