Fitzroy, attended at Marlborough-street, to meet the furtkr,
proceedings in the case. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for th
defence, said without giving any opinion, or going into an
investigation as to the guilt of the accused party, though "w
belief was that the accused had committed no legal offer

he was ready, as his Learned Friend entertained a differs
view of the law, to enter into recognisances to meet tr,
charge at the sessions. This arrangement was agreed to ty.

diabolical attempt to injure a respectable tradesman; t.
firing into his shop, was made three times on Saturday' 19,ea
The following particulars of the circumstance may be rediV,
upon :—About three o'clock in the afternoon of Salt'. e,
while there were several persons in the shop of Mr. Pe of
woollen-draper, &c., of Skinner-street, Snow-hill, corneruet
Farringdon-street, beside himself and his assistants, a bu 00
suddenly struck one of the pieces of cloth, and
the floor of the shop, narrowly missing the parties purcli ce,
ing there. Much alarm was excited by the circumstalito
but as no injury was effected, no notice was then taken 0100
affair. Shortly afterwards, however, another bullet was dildor
with great violence through the plate-glass of the folding' feet
leading into the shop. Fortunately this fell harmless at the 0.,
of the parties employed, who may be considered as havivi.te-
coped most miraculously. The ball has nerforated the P'101;
glass very cleanly, the hole through which it passed not lie o,
much larger than its own diameter. Finding he was nat,ito
in his own house from the hand of some secret villain, „"ine
either sought his life, or was endeavouring to destroy s"tbe
