MARYLEBONF...—.7artes Wright Bevil, a young man of
great muscular power, wretchedly attired, and nearly covered with
whitewash, was charged by George Richardson, an old man, with
an assault of a desperate nature.
George Richardson deposed, that he was n labourer, and was
formerly a watchman, residing in Acton: being appointed by the
parson's clerk to cut furze in Old Oak Common, he proceeded to
the Common on Wednesday afternoon fur that purpose, accom-
panied by two boy*, his children. While employed in his work,
he heard the children scream : on going to the spot to ascertain
the cause, he saw the children running, followed by a dog and the
prisoner, who, is. servant to Pr. Bevil, encouraging the (log to bite
them. The children were some yards on the Common side of the
ditch, which separates Dr. Bevil'e property from it, and the pri--
sober was on his master's premise& lie asked the prisoner what
he meant by eating the dog at the boys? lie said, " That boy
got up the tree." Richardson denied it, as the boy had but one
land, and it watt, impossible he could climb. The prisoner then
Raid, « No, it was the other boy ;" and jumping across the ditch,
seized Richardson by the collar, threw him on the ground-the
dui pitched into him and se zed him bythe temple, (very evident
Marks Of which were remaining), and he believed•his face would
have beti torn to pieces, if some persons had not come cut of-the
house, :and beat the dog MT.
Three persons, named Marnham, Kilby, and Iloddeedon, were
Ore,,eing Old .Oak Common at the time in a chaise-cart; they
heard repeabA cries of tkinurder V' and driving hard up the hill
in the direction of the voice, came to the old man's msistance ;
they. saw the orisoner dragging Richardson along, whose face was
covered with blood from the bite of :the dog. They rescued the
old man, and endeavoured to take Bevil into custody ; he jumped
Over hie imaster's gate and threw stones at them ; two of them,
Kilby. and Hoddeedon, following him over the gate; he went into
the 'tonic; and returned with a sword, (a large one of the sabre
kind, producrd in the office); and Kilby deposed, that he had.
no doUbt be should have been run through if llodtleadon had not
struck the prisoner on the side of the head with a brick, which be
threW at the moment he was closing upon him. . They put him
to flight hy pursuing him with a pitchfork, and •took him with
the assistance of Williamson the constable.
Dr. Bevil, who
~was in the office on behalf of his servant Bevil,
here interposed, and .addresstal
,Mr. Griffiths, " Your Worship
fets a'tiespass has been committed."
Mr. Gatircrits—l see no such thing—call the complainant
forward.
Richardson, upon his oath, declared that neither he nor his chil-
dren crossed the boundary of the common.
Mr. GRIFFITHS—After the •asiattlt had been committed, the
witnesses had a right to follow the prisoner over the gate.
Dr. your Worship permit the case to stand over
till the evening or to-morrow, that 'I 'may produce witnesses?
Mr. Gamerrns.lt does not appear to me that the oaths of
all these witnesses can be contradicted ; yotir becoming bail with
another potion is not half the trouble to you that it will be for all
these persontto be brought here again.--Dr. Bevil and a friend
became bail,

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday a respectably-;attired man, named
James Mal, was brought before R. J. Cum Taxes, Esq., the
presiding Magistrate, charged with feloniously °Wining possession
of some goods, the property of Mr. James Brady, fire-iron and
fender-maker, No. 9, Gray's-inn-lane.
The prosecutor stated, that so long ago as May, 1923, he
accidentally met the prisoner at
.tCpublie-house,' who then re-
presented himself to be a waiter...builder, residing at No. 11,
'Vauxhall-walk, and that he wanted some fire-irons. In the
course of a day or two afterwards, the prosecutor took some
articles, worth upwards of 31., to the prisoner's lodgings, at the
prisoner's request. The latter was not in the way at the time,
but desired if any one culled with the articles, to have some
more in addition. :The prosecutor himself went, and on his as-
certaining the prisoner's request, again went with snore tire-
irons. • He was then told that Use prisoner had ions away, the
landlord of the house knew not whither. •About 12 months ago,
Mr. Brady. Said, he perceived the prisoner enter a public-house,
in Fleet-market, accompanied by some others, and he followed
them in. The prisoner recognized him, saying, with a familiar
nod, " Hotv..are you ?'l4,itou ?" The prosecutor then went out
to fetch an officer, but on his- return. with one, he found that the
prisoner had escaped, and he saw no more of him until that.morn-
ing, when he met him in Holborn, and immediately gave him into
the care of one of the
,city officers. ,
The prisoner, on heit- asked what he bad to offeritfdefence of
the accusation, said, that it was merely a debt, and the Magistrate
had no jurisdiction, . • . . -
On the prosecutor being asked by Mr. Co.katileas if any bar-
gain had been made with respect to the articles, an answer was
given in the negative. It was hk intention; he said, to have had
the price settled before he had delivered the second parcel of goods,
but when he went with them the prisoner was gone.

. . .
Mr. erfAkerns (addressing the prisoner.)---What trade are
you?.--I am a builder. Are you in work /—I Was before:l was
apprehended to-day, Whale house are you building ?,-.My. own.
Where is it situated Z---(In a surly tone) It is nothing to you,
and I. shall not tell you, as you are going to commit me on the
oath of that man (pointing to the prosecutor.)
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.
