curing the silver, on his return home, he was accosted by the

Henry Smith Hunter, a private of the 3d battalion of Gre-
nadier Guards, preferred a charge of assault against a respectable-
looking man, who gave his name Wilson. , He stated that he was
on duty as eentiuel at Carlton House last night, when the defend-
ant who was drunk, took possession of his box ; witness told him
that place was for soldiers, not tailors, and ordered him out. He
refused. Witness repeated that a little drunken tailor should never
aspire to the dignified elevation of a Grenadier, and again gave
him notice to quit, on which defendant struck witness on the nose,
and he gave him in charge.
Mr. Wilson admitted having been drunk, and in joke taking
possession of the box ; complainant, however used very bad lan-
guage, taunted him with being a tailor, and without remonstrance
took forcible possession of his proboscis, and drew him out of the
box. No tailor could suffer such an indignity, and lie certainly
tried to reach the elevated head of his gigantic opponent. He was
very sorry for what had happened.
Mr. DYLIL said ho should tine him se. for being drunk, and
told him he had no business in the box. He did not think the
regiment would prosecute, and advised the soldier nut to press
the ease.

The soldier, however, insisted in following it up.
