SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A. FEMALE. BY A DOORIBEPYA.--•
Joseph Tyler, doorkeeper at Scott's, the Royal Standard, at
the top of the Haymarket, was charged with the following
assault on a young female, named Clara Harris, of St. Mary
street, Walcot-square, Kennington.
The complainant said she went int* Scott's that morning
to have a glass of wine with a gentleman, when the defen-
dant put her out wtthout being authorised to do so, and gave
her the black eye she now had. She believed it was given
with his fist.

Defendant said she was coming in at the private door
when he told her she would not be alllowed to come in, and
she said " I'll put this knife into you." He then put the
doors to, and she went away, but afterwards came back with
two or three men with her and attacked him. He (witness)
never touched the female.

Thos. Cook, a cab-driver, said ho was called from the top
of the Haymarket to take the female up. He was going into
the house to get some tobacco, and tho female followed him,
when the defendant struck her with his fist, and knocked
her flat on the pavement, and her mouth was coverei with
blood. A number of people looking on cried " Shame." Ha
(witness) dil not go inside, but the female who had got in-
side came out with her eye terribly blackenend. The de-
fendant knocked her down like a bullock, and added " that
will pay you for my shirt" (alluding, he supposed, to some•
thing else).

Another witness said he was outside Scott's, and saw th•
defendant holding the woman on the ground. lie told de-
fendant to let the woman go, and tried to get her away, but
got a fearful blow from the barman for his trouble, and also
one from the defendant. (The witness here held up hi•
pocket handkerchief, saturated with blood).

The defendant said it was the last witness who tool the
knife out of the female's hand.

The last witness, as also the cabman, denied that the
female had a knife, and the cabman said he was there from
the first, and therefore must have seen it had she had one.
Mr. Beadon said the principal evidence was the cabman.
lie considered it an uncommonly savage assault, Ea
should fine him 60s. or a month.
