LAMBETH.

THE EGG THROWING ON THE OARS DAY.—Yester-
day, Mr. Henry Dimsdale, who had been apprehended
on this day week by Saunders, one of the officers of
this court, on a warrant charging him with assaulting
Mr. Jarman and others, by pelting them with eggs on
the Oaks day, but who was admitted to bail, drove
up to one of the avenues leading to the court
in a shut cab, intending to appear before Mr.
Elliott in discharge of his bail; but the instant the
vehicle was stopped, a sheriff's officer steppedup, arrested
fer debt, and drove him off to the Queen's Bench
Prison. Some time after Mr. Jarman and several others
who had been assaulted by Mr. Dimsdale and his friends,
attended, and Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, who attended
for the accused, mentioned to the magistrate the mishap
of his client's arrest. The Learned Gentleman also said
he understood that Mr. Jarman bad preferred a bill of
indictment against Mr. Dimsdale and others, for the as-
sault, at the Central Criminal Court, and that the parties
so indicted had put in the required bail to answer to the
charge. if this was so, be (Mr. Ballantine) begged to
suggest that, as the justice of the case would be fully met
and answered by his appearance at the proper time in
discharge of his recognizauces, he hoped that under the
peculiar circumstances of the case, his Worship would
permit tbat course to be adopted.
Mr. Jarman said he felt it to be but right and proper,
after the treatment which he had experienced, to prefer
a bill of indictment for the assault upon himself, against
five individuals, amongst whom was Mr. Henry Dims-
dale. That bill was found a true one, and the parties
had, as the Learned Gentleman had stated, put in bail
to meet that charge at the proper time. He (sir. Jar-
man), however, begged to state the fact, that in the
first instance, notwithstanding the indignity and an-
noyance to which ho had been subjected, he had
pursued the mildest possible course by only applying for
a summons against theoffenders, and had they exhibited
a corresponding spirit, and met the charge, as they
should have done, an indictment at the Old Bailey might
never have been thought of. He (Mr. Jarman) wished,
however, to add that the indictment only referred to the
assault upon himself, while there Were eight or ten per-
sons in the court at that moment to prove charges ot as-
sault against Mr. Henry Dimsdale and the other persons
accused.

Mr. Ballantine admitted that in the first instance
Mr. Jarman bad adopted the mildest course, and he
e
felt certain that no fault could be found withh his mode
of proceeding, but as Mr. Dimsdaelee,_

acquittance of their bail, be the magistrate
would sanction the course he (Mr. Ballantine)
gestcd.
Mr. Jarman observeetd that he should not wish to as-
sert that it was
the act of arrestmight be a mere
trick to get rid : foi bat
charge in so far as the judgment
of the magistrate was concerned; but it was his (Mr.
Jarman's) len
ti and also the intention of others who
had been
silbtailarl7lssaulted, on public grounds to fol-
low up
gr.l3lstahleenase.
Ballantine assured the Court that there was not
ecollusion between the officers of the sheriff
and the slightest
d
atihehdisefet ndaut and his attorney, and in proof of ibis
he begged to say that the solicitor who was with him at
the time of his arrest, and who had instructed him (Mr.
Ballantine), had gone away to prepare affidavits to lay
before the Court, with the view of getting
Mr. Dimsdale
discharged from custody, on the ground that the arrest
was not legal. In conclusion he (Mr. Ballantine) begged
it to be distinctly understood that he was not there to
justify the conduct attributed to some of the parties in
this transaction, as he held it to be disgusting and
abominable. His client, Mr. Dimsdale, denied to him all
participation in the offence with which he was charged;
but if the complainants proved the contrary by legal evi-
dence he must telt() the consequences.
Atter some further ole;ervations, Mr. ELLIOTT con-
sented to enlarge the recoghether nizaeces for a week, observ-
ing at the same time that,gentlemen or not, the
parties charged had not acted in that manner that per-
w
per-
sons in their station ought to have done.

WICK, JUNE 19.—The herring fishing at this
piece has made an early and good beginning. On Wednesday
night four busts were out, when Mr. L onald Bain, Bankhead,
who is generally the earliest and most successful fisher, caught
from sit to coven erans, five crane of which he sold at 21s. pc r
cran. Another boat had two crane sold in retail at a some-
what higher figure. The quality is said to be remarkably
good for this early season. Several boats have returned heie
from the Lewis since our last, and they all bring tidings of
short fishing there. The fish are positively lard, and scarcely
can be cured. Preparations are still going on briskly at Wick in
boathailding, barielmaking, barking and preparing nets, &c.
About 100 new boats will be turned out here this season ; and
the preparations in other materials are on a corresponding
Fc Ile. To those lately engaged as hi.gh as 10s. per eras and
51. bounty have been promiised,--Wsch Paper.
