occupied the Court a portion of yesterday and was re-

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
MURDEROUS ASSAULT.--Benjamin 114-de and Jacob
Demeline were placed before Mr. Bingham, charged
with having committed a violent assault upon John
Hawes, a tradesman, residing at No. 3, Newmait's-
MOWS', Castle-street East. It appeared from the evi-
dence, that on the previous night, about twelve o'clock,
the prosecutor was called by the landlord of No. 120,
Castle-street East, to assist him in quelling a
turbance which had broken cut in that house. On en-
tering the house with the landlord he found the prisoners
and some ether of the ledgers creating a great dis-
turbuice, and en his endeavouring to pacify
the belligerents, the prisoner Demeline rushed
at him and knocked him down, whilst the
other prisoner followed up the attack by beat-
ing him about the head and face with a brass
candlestick which he had in his hands, inflicting
several wounds, from which the blood flowed in tor-
rents, saturating his clothes completely through. He
screamed out " Murder" as loud as he could, end the
landlord of the hcuse having fetched in the police, the
prisoners were secured and taken t) the station.
Sei earl witnesses were ex.imined, who cerreborated
the evidence of the prosecutor.
The prisoners denied the charge, and called two wit-
nesses, who, however, failed to prove anything in their
favour.
Mr. BiNcrrAm considered the assault fully proved, and
fined Ilyde 4/., or to be committed for site weeks; and
Demeline was fined St, and iu default stand committed
for one month.

JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS IN THE CITY.—It is
anticipated that the vacancy caused by the death ef
John Nirehouse, R-1., Common Sergeant of the
city of London, will be filled up by the appointment
of Mr. Bullock, who is now Commissioner of the
Central Criminal Court, and Judge of the Sheriff's
Court and Small Debts' Court. It is believed, Oiould
this appointment be made, that the offices now held by
Mr. Bullock will not again be united in one person,
and that Mr. Ryland, the Senior City Pleader, will
succeed Mr. Bullock in one of them, At all events
he is in the field as a candidate, and his prospects of
success are understood to be considerable. Mr. Ry-
land has been thirty years at the bar, is a bencher of
Gray's Inn, is well known by his share in " DOA l-
ing's and Ryland's Reports," has long bEen -n the
i
service of the Corporation, and is the represen-
tative of one of the oldest families in the City.
