Flower, Sir John Perring, Alderman Waithman, Alder-
mall Thorpe, Alderman Key, and Messrs. Farebrotber and

finding of a true bill. He then discharged them, requir-
ing their attendance at Hicks's-hall to-morrow morning.
RIVAL HAIR DRESSERS.

Peter Parker was indicted for assaulting John Comay
on the Bth of August last.
Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case to the Jury. The pro-
secutor and the defendant had both been in the employ of
Mr. M'Alpin, the hair-dresser; of late the prosecutor has
opened a shop on his own account in Threadtleedle-strect.
On the day charged in the indictment the defendant came
to the prosecutor's shop, and after declaring his intention
to smash him, and using sevenil blackguard remarks, struck
him two or three severe blows. Mr. Adolphus also said,
that provided any respectable person would come forward
to be security for the defendant not annoying the prosecu-
tor again, he would not proceed further in the case.

The defendant declined the offer, and the prosecutor de-
posed to the facts stated by Mr. Adolphus, with the differ-
ence, that instead of the defendant striking him, defendant
only rubbed his fist over prosecutor's face.
Several other witnesses were called to corroborate the
prosecutor's statement.
The prisoner in his defence said that the prosecutor had
offered to withdraw the present prosecution, in conside-
ration of his paying an attorney's bill, amounting to nearly
ten pounds. He called a witness, who said that the
prosecutor told him that the defendant. had not struck him.
Alderman WAITISMAN asked the witness if the prose-
cutor sold bear's grease, or had any live bears ?
Witness answered " No, but Mr. IVPAlpin had."—
(Laughter.)
The. Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The COURT ordered the defendant to pay a 6ne of 20s.
and to find securities to keep the peace for one year.
