THE AG'

'O_RMED.

It was known on Monday in Bridgwater that a
most determined attack was to be made the follow-

ing (Tuesday) evening upon the Agapemone, to de-
liver Mrs. Price from the clutches of the Princeites,
and the aid of volunteers was solicited to enable the

declined, and the expedition returned to Bridgwater,
the faster vehicles arriving home about half-past
ten o'clock. The night was pitch dark, and it was
no easy matter to get back from the Aishot Hills.
The townspeople, aware that the attack had come
off, thronged their doors to inquire the upshot as
the vans passed along the streets. Thus ended the
second organised attempt to free Mrs. Price from
the influence and custody of the Agapemonites.
Actions for trespass and damage against some of
the leading actors in the transaction may be ex-
pected. Mr. Price says he is prepared to defend
any suits against himself, and to indemnify those
who aided him. After such events as these, it is not
probable that the Abode of Love will be much longer
located in the vicinity of Bridgwater.

IMPORTANT TO BETTING MEN.

Mr. George Read, of Bushey Heath, Watford,
appeared before Mr. Mansfield at the Clerken well
Police-court yesterday to answer a summons, which
had been taken out by Mr. John L. Hatton, late
musical director to Mr. Charles Kean, of the
Princess's Theatre, which charged him with using
abusive and insulting language towards the com-
plainant, whereby a breach of the peace might have
been occasioned. _

Mr. Hatton said he was a professor of music, and
resided at 3, Goswell-street. On the 2d inst. the
defendant met him in Belgrave-street, and called
him a rogue, a blackguard, and a vagabond. He
had before used this language to bim, and the only
reason he had for doing so was that he owed the
defendant some money on horse-racing. The de-
fendant had threatened to annoy him in every way
he could. _ _

The defendant, in answer to the charge, said the
complainant owed him £6O, £3O of which he had
paid in hard cash out of his pocket. The debt arose
out of some horse-racing transactions. He had.
frequently asked the complainant for payment, but
he could not get his money, and was always met
with some subterfuge. He was not the only one
to whom the complainant owed money, for some of
his (the defendant's) friends had been served in the
same manner as he had been. He (the defendant)
had only been brought there that day for the pur-
pose, of annoyance, and to preventiim from being
present at the York Races. The summons was not
taken out until a fortnight after the words had been
used, and this was done so that other persons who
were present at the races should not see him (com-
plainant) at this court that day. The fact was that
he ought to have taken the summons out, for the
complainant called him a blackguard.
Mr. Mansfield said there was no reason why debts
of honour should not be paid within 24 hours, and
all persons who had not the means of so doing
should not make such bets. He could fully under-
stand that Mr. Read was much irritated at not
being paid ; and as both the complainant and the
defendant had used similar expressions to each
' other, he should dismiss the summons.
The decision was received with loud clapping of
hands, which was soon stopped by the officers,
