a counter report, condemning in the most unquali-

company to be altogether undeserving of State as-
sistance in any shape or form. Mr. F. Peel, repre-
senting the Government, was the only member of
the committee found to support this proposition.

GUILDHALL.—A DOUBTFUL CASE.—George
Elverson, an old man who described himself as a
dog-doctor and cow-leech, was placed at the bar
before Colonel Wilson, charged with committing a
criminal assault upon the person of Emma Clanay,
widow 56 years of age.
The prosecutrix, 'who gave her evidence in a veiy
hesitating and conflicting manner, stated that she
called upon the prisoner at his house, 13, Middle-
street, Cloth-fair, about 11 o'clock on Monday
morning, to inquire it he had a fancy dog for sale,
as she wanted one for a gentleman. He asked her
to walk into his room, and as soon as she entered,
he locked the door. Witness then 'described the
nature of the assault, and stated that the prisoner
perpetrated the offence with which he was charged.
At the end of about half an hour from the time she
went into the room he released her, and as soon as
she got out she went in search of a policeman, and.
after about two or three hours lost in that way,
she went to Mrs. Wickenden, a friend of hers, and;
acting on her advice, she went to the police station
and described how she had been treated by the pri-
soner, who was accordingly apprehended shortly
after. She stated that she screamed out as loud as
she could, but there was a little dog in the room
which was barking all the time and its noise
drowned her cries.

The prisoner said he had lived in the city for the
last 40 years, and although he had known the pro-
secutrix and her husband when he was alive, he
had not seen anything of her for some years past,
except on one occasion, when she asked him to
give her son, who was in custody at Clerkenwell
Police-court, a character, which he refused to do
on finding he was a reputed thief. The next time
he saw her was on Monday, when she said she
wanted to speak to him, and, on getting into
his room, she asked him to lend her 55., which.
he refused. She urged her request, but he per-
sisted in his denial until she went away. There
were two little dogs in the room, and both of them
so quiet that the other persons in the house could
have heard any alarm that might have been raised.
The prosecutrix was a bad woman, and had pre-
ferred this charge for the purpose of extorting
money from him.
Colonel Wilson said the evidence of the prosecu-
trix. was very inconsistent, and if she expected to
prove her case, she must have Mrs. Wickenden and
the gentleman who asked her to find a dog for
him, in attendance. On the other hand, if the pri-
soner wished to avoid being sent to Newgate for
trial, he must bring forward the people in the house
to prove that no disturbance took place, and that
no alarm was raised in his room at the time sworn
to, for that purpose he remanded the prisoner, and
accepted the bail of two respectable tradesmen in
the sum of £lOO each for his appearance.

B OW- STREET.—MOBBING THE BARON DE
VIDIL—John Crowther, a street hawker of prints,
pamphlets, &c., was charged with making a dis-
turbance in B ,w-street, on the previous afternoon
(Monday), when the Baron de Vivil was being re-
moved in a cab from this court to be conveyed to
Newgate, upon his committal for trial on the charge
of attempting to murder his son.
It appeared from the statement of Sergeant Has-
pinall, F 1, that the prisoner had been engaged
amongst the crowd assembled in front of the court,
offering for sale copies of a print purporting to be
a representation of the attack by the Baron on his
son. Though he had done an excellent trade in the
course of the afternoon, he still had a portion of his
stock left when taken into custody, and these,
though not directly connected with the charge,
were produced in court as property found in his.
possession. The design was remarkable for its con-
sistent inaccuracy in the main features and in all
the details. The figures have evidently been draw n
by some one who has never seen either the
1 Baron or his son, though it must be admitted
that the portrait of the former is not much more
unlike him than any other person. This cannot
be said of the counterfeit presentment of . the
young man, who moreover is represented with
moustache and imperial, which he does not
wear ; and without whiskers, which he does wear.
The youth is represented as tall, and of large
frame, whereas he is small and slight, and the
father is made much smaller, though in facts, with-
out being a tall or big man, he has considerably the
advantage of his son in height, muscular clevelopis-
, went, and apparent strength. T,liheeinßaceunrawcyho,

As to the charge itself, Haspinall stated that as
the baron was being placed in the cab much con-
fusion was created by various persons pressing for-
ward to see the baron, and the police had much
difficulty in keeping them back. After the baron
had taken his seat and, as the cab was about to
start, a rush was made at the vehicle, the door of
which was forced open by the mob, but the police
closed it again, and after considerable delay the cab
was got away. The prisoner was one of those who
were seen rushing through the crowd in the direc-
tion of the cab before the door was opened. When
desired by the police to stand back he refetsed, and
_
they found it necessary to remove him in. order to
restore order.
