14 THE KING V. MACWILLIAM AND ANOTHER.
tatdt r',I3ALL stated the case. It was an indictment for an as-
ur ought by Henry Harrington, a young lad about 14
4Ceinkts,_°ld, against a Magistrate of Middlesex and his servant.
a the 16th of September, the prosecutor, whose mother is
pl:,,idoe, and carries on business at No. 2, Holloway-
dowrsi, was returning home from Paddington-green, and sat
uPou a wall near the King's-cross, which bounds the
• tatzen of
Mr. Macwilliam. The defendant and Mahony,
touls:pant were in the plantation, and Mr. Macwilliam came
to the road where the prosecutor was sitting, and said,
tellnat's a niee horse you're riding.". Mr. Macwilliam then
,red the prosecutor, dragged him into the road, and
tioglek him on the side of the head, and knocked him
041711, and afterwards repeated the blow. Mr. Macwilliam
ed Mahony from the plantation, and told him to take the
.2seeutor to the watch-house, and Mahony laid hold of him,
ek hint in the side, and kicked him after the fall. Mr.
the lam then went off and fetched a policeman, and gave
:rusecutor in charge. and the policeman desired prosecutor
Qetne or he would give him , a nights' lodging. Mr.
william said he would havOire policeman reprimanded
liith4e police-office. These were the facts of the case, and
tat°ugh he- had every respect and veneration for the consti-
tat? authorities, yet when those who were appointed conser-
toeirs of the public peace, and who form their station in

to;i7itness who saw the assault committed, and the policeman

tile.u., • Neither of them saw any injury done to the wall or
Ipiantations.
14'11.• Fourrr (with whom was Mr. JONES) addressed the
for the defendants. He contended that no violence what-
-I:,r , had been offered' to the prosecutor. The defendant's
t•
thc.tion had been repeatedly injured, and on the present
Waii,.'sl°n, supposing that the prosecutor was getting over the
itgafor that purpose, he had pulled him off.
