YORKSHIRE LENT ASSIZES.

George Wardle Dent was charged with assaulting
John Allen on the highway near Malton, And
taking from his ptrs•in a watch, and a half crowd
piece and some silver, on the evening of the 1 Ith
October last.

Mr. John Allen stated, that he lived at Hildenley,
in the serviet of Mr. Strickland, and came to
Mahon fair on the tt th 06tober last, and left
Malton between . seven and eight - o'clock in the
evening, on his return home. When he got about
equarter of a mile from Malton he saw a man
standing on the road, who advanced towards him,-
and the moment he got to him presented a pistol,
and said.—" Your money." The witness put out
his hand, to ward off the pistol; upon which the
person said, " Don't hesitate a m ,went, or give
the leagt alarm." Witness then gave him
crown, a sixpence, and four. or five shillings. A
pistol was held to his face. The prisoner then
demanded his watch, and again said, " Don't
hesitate, or make the least alarm." Witness then
gave him his watch. Prisoner tl,en told him to go
forward, and not- make any alarm, but soon called
to him and said, " Is this all the money you have
got ?--Your pocket-book." Witness said he had
no other money aboUt him, and the prisoner, alter
passing his hand idown his waist, and. pockets,
suffered him to depart, again cautioning him not to
make any alarm, saying, " I shall stop the first
person I meet on the. road.", Witness said, the
person that stopped him was dress in a dirk jacket
and light-coloured trowsers, and a soldier's cap, or
hat cut away in imitation of one.. The whole of
the trsty•aCaion occupied about five or six minutes,
and he had an opportunity of obServing the counte-
nance of theperson who rubbed him, andwas certain:
both from biS countenance and voice, that the
prisoner was the person. It was not inomlislo, bin
from the light of the stars he could see stifficiently
to indentify the prisoner. 'Witness said he saW the
prisoner again on the Sunday following, at Mahon,
arJames Davison's, .and as soon as he saw him he
said he was the man who had robbed him; and on
hearing him speak, he recognized the voice as
being the voice of the person who had deManded
his money. The prisoner said, " Are you the man,.
that is come to swear to me ?" and -on witness
saying he was, prisoner said he had never seen' the
Witness before, and asked him when he bad been
robbed ? and when the witness had, informed him',
'the prisoner said he wi,s that evening at the Theativ.
The prisoner was asked several questions, as to the
play than was performed?—he teplked the play was
" Man and Wife," and " Blue Beard" was the
after-piece. •
It appeared from some evidence 'afterwards pro-
duced, that this play and entertainment were
announced in the bills of the dam, but one of the
perforthers having'become suddenly indisposed, the
play of " The Stranger" was substituted:
Mr. 'Ulric ct oss-examined the witness, John
Allen, at considerable 'length : he said he had never
told any person that he could not swear to the
_person of the prisoner ; that he had been at three
public-houses in the course of tf,e afternoon, but
was perfectly sober. Witness also admitted that on
-his first examination he had not mentioned the num-
