SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A FEMALE BY A DOORIEBEPER.--.
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 into 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 giTen
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 bop
of the Haymarket to take the female up. He was going into
the house to get some tobacco, and the female followed hiiu,
when the defendant struck her with hie fist, and knocked
her flat on the pavement, and her month was covered with
blood. A number of people looking on cried " Shame." 110
(witness) dial 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 the
defendant holding the woman on the ground. He 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 hero held up his
pocket handkerchief, saturate& with blood).
The defendant said it was the last witness who took 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 cabins'.
He considered it an uncommonly savage assault, and
should fine him 60s. or a month.
