with whom he has at times taken up his abode, was
charged at Marlborough-street with having broken two
lamp-shades, and also assaulted Mrs. Coquerell, landlady
of the European Hotel, Leicester-place. It appeared
that the defendant went to the European Hotel to obtain
some linen he bad left there, but the linen was refused
to him until he had paid the balance of his bill. This
excited the defendant, and with his stick he broke the
glasses in question, and then afterwards struck the land-

nected by marriage, and in consequence of family dis-

breaking of glass was renewed in the High-street front-
age of the tavern, and continued at intervals throughout
the day. About thirty panes of glass were broken
during the day. The stones appeared to come over the
houses on the opposite side of the way. Some of King's
relatives and a companion live in that quarter, but the
persons who threw the stones could not be discovered.
