MANSION HQUSE?

SALUTATION EXTRAORDINARY.--On Saturday
Louisa Sanderson and Mary Anne Chatfield were -
broughtup, charged with 'committing an outrage-
ous assault upon a fruit-salesman 'in 'Change-
alley, COrnhill. The complainant,, it appeared,
was Standing at his shop-door on Friday afternoon,
when he saw the two 'defendants enter the alley.
.Their appearance attracted .his particular notice,
,and he was silently.admiring them, when one of
them advanced suddenly towards
.him; seized him
,by the nose, and dragged him from the door
across. the • alley. Irritated at this unexpected
salute*, he was half a mind • to return .the compli-
Ment. in kind, but contented himself with giving:
the .la 4 a,'gentle kic.k.7' This .roused the inilig
natiOn of the other fair one, and both commenced
an Amazonian attack upon the defenceless head 'of.
time cOmplajnant, and (in .his own words) gave-
him " a' few of the soundestslaPs in thetficabe ever.
bad since he *as born." Unable.to defend him-
fearing sotiie serious bodily harm, he
called,ior assistance, and - a ,constable soon mail&
his appearance. The, instrument of -the law"
showed his authority; and was 'ab.mit to take the
ladies into custody, when they•immediat.ely-iltrn.r.
'.ed about;and belaboured him in a worse,maimer
than they had.done the onfOrturtatofrtitterer,
desperate,.struggle• ensued, whitit; bbwor:o, end,
ed in th 3 fair ones being placed; in a -hackney-
coach, and conveyeitte (` durance The con-
. stable„'in his efforti--tO:secute'the:Offendera, was
very severely handled by several gentlemen,. who,
misled `by the appearance of the 'ladies, made an
.attempt to rescue, itierp'froni his custody._
The prisoners, in their defenee, said they meant
~.;nothing; more than a Tuve frolic, anti hoped.the
complainant would be merciful to them. The

fruiterer, who before seemed the .most indignad'
of men, could not withstand this appeal to
" softer nature," and was willing to abandon tbt
charge, when the constable carne forward, ant
said he had been so severely treated, that 10
could not suffer the business to pass over thaf
quielty, and begged that the defendants might bi
hcid to hail, in ()Met; that he might indict theo
for an assault.
The LORD MAYOR said,lia had no doubt btft
the ladies were willing to compensate liinalor aal
damage he had sustained, and tteougbt-to be so'
tished with that. The constable said be was
little inclined to be hard with the fair sex as art!
man, but he believed, had his Lordship been ;0
severely handled by, t4e ladies and their chainpioiO
as he had been, his 'gallantry would not
stood the test. The defendants were ordered t 0
find bail, which theydid,,, and were liberated.
