THIS DAY'S NEWS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Chaffens, well-known to the prize-ring and
a frequenter of Ben Caunt's sporting-rooms, in St. Mar-
tin's-lane, was charged with committing an unprovoked
and violent assault on a private in the Scots Fusileer
Guards. The complainant was quietly standing in the
street when the defendant came up to him, and, without
saying a word, struck him with his clenched fist be
neath the left eye, cutting his cheek to the bone.
The defendant alleged that the complainant had in-
sulted his wife, but this was clearly disproved by wit-
nesses.

Mr. MALTBY said the assault was a most gross one,
and he should, therefore, impose a fine of 4/., or one
month's imprisonment with hard labour.
The defendant said he was unable to pay the fine, and
he was, accordingly, sent to gaol.
Frederick George Pemberton, a young man of very
fashionable appearance, described on the charge-sheet as
of " No. 31, St. James's-street, gentleman," was brought
up, on a Judge's warrant, on an indictment found against
him " for unlawfully and ingeniously keeping certain
common gaming-rooms, gaining-booths, and marquees, in
the parish of St. Ann's, in the liberty of St. Alban's, in
the County of Hertford."
Mr. MALTBY directed that the prisoner should be im-
mediately taken before one of the Judges at chambers.
The offence for which the prisoner stands indicted was
committed at the last Gorhambury races. Indictments of
a similar nature against several other well-known sport-
ing characters have also been found.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Frederick Spicer, groom, in the service of Lord Hun-
tingtower, was charged with stealing a suit of livery, the
property et' his Lordship.
From Lord Huntingtower's statement it appeared the
prisoner had been in his service since May. On Monday
he absented himself, and inquiries being made, the pri-
soner was found in a public house intoxicated, and when
he subsequently became sober he refused to deliver up
the livery. His Lordship therefore gave him into custody.
The prisoner said that he thought he had a right to
the livery, as his master had promised to buy him a suit
when they came from Scotland, a promise which he did
not keep.
Lord Huntingtower said that he bad no wish to press
the charge of felony, and only wanted the restoration of
his clothes.

After some difficulty the prisoner at length consenter
to return the livery, and he was discharged.
