MARLBORO UG II- STREE
A " TICKET-oF-LEAVE" MAN IN DIFFICULTY.--
Wm. Lake, a ticket-of-leave man, and Nathaniel
Landon, who was said to be only just out of prison,
appeared before Mr. Knox to answer adjourned
summonses, charging them with assaulting Mr.
George Robinson, of the Feathers Tavern, Warren-
street, Fitzroy-square, and also with assaulting Jas.
Dacey, potman to Mr. Robinson.
Mr. Childs, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers'
Protection Society, appeared for the complainants.
From the evidence it appeared that the defend-
ants and another man jumped out of a cab at the
door of Mr. Robinson's house, and ran into the
passage, and, having forced open a door, went into
the yard. On Mr. Robinson going into the yard,
he found the cabman engaged in an angry alterca-
tion with the men, upon which he told them
that they had better go somewhere else, and not
come there to bilk a cabman. The defendants
then made use of very bad language towards Mr.
Robinson and his potman —a young man named
James Dacey—Lake saying he would have " a
tight for it," and the defendant then assaulted Mr.
Robinson and his footman, Mr. Robinson being
several times struck about the face. A constable
named Cory, 165 E, s:iw Lake strike the potman,
and Landon tussling with him, but he was
unable to take the defendant into custody,
having charge of two other men, and who have
since been convicted for assaulting him, and
rescuing the defendants. On the last oc-
casion when before the court,- Mr. Knox observing
that the defendants were under the influence of
drink, and knowing the serious consequences attach-
ing to Lake, in case of a conviction—he being a
ticket-of-leave man, with seven months of his sen-
tence unexpired—adfourned the case for a week
that the police might report to him what had been
the conduct of Lake since he had been at large.
Lake said that the police would not let him alone,
and upbraided him with being a ticket-of-leave, and
a constable had gone to Mr. Robinson and told him
that he was a ticket-of-leave man.
A constable said he had only in a quiet manner
told the landlord what sort of characters he had in

his house.
Mr. Knox said the reason why he had adjourned
the case were twofold—because he did not consider
the defendants to be quite sober ; and because he
knew the consequences of any fresh offence com-
mitted by Lake. Lake comphined of what the
constable had done, but he (Mr. Knox) considered
that what he had said to the landlord only a fair
warning, and he (Lake) ought, in the position he
was in, to have been doubly careful. He would
now ask what was Lake's character for the past few
months ?
Sergeant Burroughs, E division, said that Lake's
conduct was most refractory. On ono occasion he

had threatened to stab a licensed victualler and to

break his glass, and on another he had also
threatened to stab a licensed victualler, and even
when coming to the station to report himself he
had been under the influence of drink. Ile
(Sergeant Buroughs) had cautioned Lake as to his
conduct and told him what it would come to.
Mr. Knox said that if Lake, holding a ticket-of-

leave, thought he could be guilty of such acts as
had been proved he was mistaken, and though he
(Mr. Knox) was sorry to have to be compelled to
do it, still he could pursue no other course, and the
defendants would be committed for a month each.
Lake will now have to finish his original sentence
of imprisonment.
