It appeased that the three complainants, being fast "
young men from Islington, had spent the evening in danc-

defendants were employed as waiters or otherwise. They
wore about to depart at an advanced period of the morn-
ing, when one of the defendants exclaimed to Collins,
" Well old boy, you'll stand a bottle before you go for
old acquaintance sake?" Before Collins bad time to re-

leave the saloon with his companions a delnand was made
for the price of the two bottles in question- A quarrel
ensued, and the doors were locked ; and. upon the com-
plainants endeavouring to force their way out, all the de-
fendants pounced upon them, and attacked them in the
most ruffianly mouuer the woman literally tearing.
Evans's coat to rags with her teeth. The complainants

had any lawful authority to detain
them in the house by forcible means. It was a matter of
debt and credit, to be settled by butumoning the parties
before a civil tribunal. His worship fined each of the de-

imprisonment in default.
