MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A BETTING TRANSACTION.—Froderick Landro, bar-
keeper at the London Pavilion Music Idall, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Joseph Rosen-
thal, jeweller, of 18, Arundel-street, Panton-square.
Mr. Sayers, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the complainant,
and, having stated the nature of the case, said that as the
defendant, when charged with the assault, made very light
of it., saying that he had plenty of money and could only
be fined, ho hoped his worship would teach him differently,
and not impose a fine for such a brutal assault as the do-
fondant had committed.
Mr. Rosenthal said that ho had had a dispute with the
defendant, who was a bar-keeper at the London Pavilion
respecting a bet. On the previous evening the defendant
came up to him in Rupert-street, and said, "Are you not
going to settle that bet ?" lie told the defendant that ho
had not received the money, and the defendant then spat
in his face, called him a "- Jew," and kicked him
After tripping him up he kicked him while he was lying
on the ground by the Crown Tavern ; ono of the kicks
being on the mouth, and others about the head. Ile could
not see a policeman, and believed if some persons had not
come to his assistance ho would have boon killed, as the
defendant pinned him by the arms and kicked him deli-
berately, ho (complainant) having his hands at the time in
_ _

his loose jacket pockets. At tho time ho had seven or
eight watches in his pocket, and a quantity of small
taticlos of jowollory which ho was going to show to a cus-
tomer, and ho lost two lockets, and had his breast-pin,
which ho much valued, broken in two.
Tho defendant said all ho did was in self-defence. The
defendant owed 'him £5 for eight weeks, and then made
several appointments in which to settle it, but had n3vor
done so, and never could be found at homo.

Mr. Palling, of No. 34, Southampton-street, Strand,
carpenter, said that he was in Regont-street yesterday
evening, and saw the defendant place his left hand on the
complainant's neck and force him down on the ground,
and then commence kicking him in the face with his right
foot and beat him about with his pot, and the complainant
bled very much. He (witness) wont across the road to
pull the defendant off the complainant, but another person
did so before he got up. Ho never saw a more brutal
assault iu his life, and while going to the station the do-
fondant soemod to make quite a triumph of it, saying that
ho had plenty of money and did not care for the complain-
ant, as they could only lock him up and fino him, and he
did not care for that.

Mr. T. C. Weller, No. 5, Archer-street, Windmill-street
gave similar evidence to the previous witness, and proved
pulling the defendant from the complainant, the latter
never having struck or abused the former at all

Thomas Goddard, 302 A, provod seeing the complainant
bleeding. The complainant charged the defendant with
assaulting him; and several persons said the defendant
first attacked the complainant.

The defendant called Edwin Atkins, a waiter at
Gregory's llotelc but it appeared that ho did not see all

that ocCurred.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was quito clear to him that the
defendant had committed a most brutal assault, and ho
would be sent to prison for 21 clays with hard labour.
Mr. Troggatt, of Argyle-street, afterwards applied to
the Magistrato to impose a fino on the defendant instead of
imprisonment ; but Mr. Tyrwhitt refused to alter his deci-
sion.
