F illUI?ll'AY-CARRINGTOAI CASE.

the question whether be had not a paper called the
Queen's Messenger. To the question whether he
wrote a certain article—the one reflecting on Lord
Carrington—he answered, " No." A number of let-
ters, articles in manuscript, and a corrected proof
of an article were then shown to the witness,
but he declined to say whether they were
in his handwriting. He admitted that he had
written some articles in the (2nee,i'3 Me43enger,
but said that he would- rather have cut off his
right hand than have written others. Lorl
Carrington was ultimately bound over to keep
the peace in reference to the first summons, and
committed for trial on the second one. He was
admitted to bail, himself in £4,000, and two
sureties tbc Duke of Beaufort and Lord
Colville—in the same sum. During the proceed-
ings a disgraceful scuffle took place in court for the
possession of a box of papers which Mr. Grenville
Murray alleges to have been stolen from him.
Blows were freely dealt on both sides ; the magis-
trate's table was nearly overthrown ; and it took a
dozen policemen to part the combatants and restore
order.

CHARGE OF ASSAULTING AN OFFICER OF THE
COURT.

Colonel Archibald Campbell Campbell, of 2, Seymour-
place, Mayfair, was to-day charged befor,e Mr. Knox with
disorderly conduct in the Marlborough Police-Court, and
also with assaulting William Bowden, tho messenger of
the court.

A number of gentlemen were present, some being ac-
commodated with seats on the bench.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for Col. Campbell.
William Boden, messenger of the court, said that on
the previous afternoon he was in the court, and when
Lord Carrington was committed for trial the court was
full of persons. There was then a rush made to the
solicitor's table by about half a dozen persons, who seized
a gentleman named Newman who had charge of
a tin box from which he had taken papers
in the course of the case. Mr. Newman called out " Po-
lice !" and "Murder!" as loudly as he could. He and
Poole, another officer of the Court, immediately rushed to
Mr. Newman's protection, as did the other officers in at-
tendance. He caught hold of one end of the box and
Poole the other, and while holding the box he was struck
with sticks and umbrellas in the bank. Feeling the
blows on his back he turned round saw a gentleman
(the defendant), who was sitting on a chair at the
solicitor' table, in the act of ' striking, and -he
then let go the box, and said to the gentlemen,
"Desist," these are officers of the court. The defendant
made some reply, but I cannot say what, and seized him
by the collar, which was broken open, his watch chain
was also broken, and his leg hurt. He told the defendant
the box was iu the possession of the police, and that he
had nothing to fear sr hen he got up.
Sergeant Martin said to the defendant, " That's an
officer of the court," and the defendant then let go of
him, saying that he did not kuow that ho was an officer
of the court.

In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said ho told the
defendant that he was an officer of at) court, being in plain
clothes at the time. Ai s,;on as the &feud tat was told
that he let go of him. Ilc htd since ascertained that
the persons who tried to get the bo..y from Ur. Newman
were friends of Mr. Orenvil'e Murray.
Sergeant Martin, 14 A, proved seeing the defendant
take :hold of Boden. Ile let go of him when he
(Martin) told him that he was au officer of the court, and
said that ho was very sorry he had mado a mistake. •
In answer to Mr. Lewis, the wituess.said he saw the
defendant do nothing more than collar Boden.
Mr. Lewis add: eased the magistrate at some length on
the deftndaues behalf, urging that the defendant had
mistaken Boden fur one of the persons trying to get the
box from Mr. Newman, and for whose protection the de-
fendant interfered, and stating that no one-regretted more
than the defendant his mistake, or that Bowden should
have been hurt in doing only that which it was his duty
to do.

Mr. Lewis called several witness,s, all of whom bore
testimony to the fact that the defeudaut only iuterfered
for the prctoction of Mr. Newman and to prevent the box
bring taken from him.

Air. Knox, after going ov,r the evidence, slid it ap-
peared that a dastardly attack Lad been made on lir. New-
man by a parcel of rufnius to get possession of a box eon.
taking papers which he had been subrened to bring to the
court. lie was bound to say that Boden's conduct had
been most commendable in resisting the endeavours of the
perLors to take away the box. He believed the defendant
had act,d on the side of law and order and to support the
authorities of the court, but he had made a mistake.
The defendant said ho regretted that, under a misap-
prehension, ho had laid a finger on Boden.
After some ccnversation, Mr. Knox said he would put
the complainant and the defendant as one gentleman apo-
logizing to another, and if the defendant would apologize
to the defendant he would advice the complainant to ac-
cept of the apology.

Col. Campbell having apo:ogized to the complainant
and stated his regret for what had occurred, the matter
ended.

Mr. Knox said he was prepared to grant warrants against
all persons concerned in the riot in the court, and if the
case was proved against any of them he would send them
for trial.

Lord Carrington appeared at Marlborough-street
yesterday to answer a charge of assault preferred
against him by Mr. Grenville Murray. Mr. Murray
had applied for two summonses—one for a common
assault, and the other for an offence at common
law, provoking him to fight a duel. Mr. Mur-
ray, on being called, was subjected to a cross-
examination by Mr. Giffard that appeared to
try bis temper severely. lie declined to .answer
