MARLBOROUGH STREET'.

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT UPON A LICENSED VICTUALLER.
—Henry Judd was charged, before Mr. Bingham, with
violently assaulting Mr. George Davies, landlord of the
Coach and Horses Tavern, Conduit-street, Regent-
street.

The prosecutor stated that on Tuesday evening he
was called into the taproom, where he found the prisoner,
who is a remarkably strong man, severely treating a
poor unoffendine and man. Witness pulled the prisoner
away, and desired him to leave the premises, which he
refused to do. Complainant then gently tsok him by
the arm, and led hitn ont of the room, and w
soon as he got into the street he struck witness
several times on the chest and face. Proseoutor re-
treated into his bar followed by the prisoner, who
assailed him with a volley of the foulest abuse. This
the complainant did not mind but when the prisoner
followed up the abuse by Btriki:4 him again, he thought
it was high time to put a stop to his pranks by giving
him into custody.
Tho prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk at the
time or he should not have done it.
Mr. Bingham said that was no excuse. Licensed
victuallers must be protected in their business from the
violence of such ruffians, and he should for this assault
commit the prisoner for ten days to the louse of Cor-
rection.

Westminster, was brought before Mr.
