CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND
CRIM. CON.
On. Thursday last, a' journeyman ear,ee And gilder,
named Patrick Murdock, preferred *a charge cf assault
before the magistrates, against John Ringliam, of Ips-
wich. The defendant, it appeared, kept an eating-house
in the parish of St. Margaret, and the complainant was
in the habit of taking. t occasional meal there. He
lodged at Mr. Franklin's (the librarian of the Mechanics'
Institution), in Coyte's-gardens, and on Wednesday
morning, about a quarter before eight o'clock, the defen-
dant, Ringham, called at the house and asked to see the
complainant. The complainant was not down, but he
replied, " Show the gentleman up." When the defendant
got into the room, he seized complainant by the hair of
his head, tried to-choke him, kicked him, and eventually
beat him with a stick in a very vii,lentmanner.—The de-
fendant said in his defence, that he had full conviction the
complainant and his (defendant's) wife had spent a great
deal of time improperly together. He had spoken to
his wife upon the subject, but she had denied that any-
thing wrong had taken place between them. Last Tues-
day his wife left the house to go to her father's, on the
Woodbridge-road. He said to her, " Don't go, there is
much work to do, and I would rather you did not." His
wife said she would go, but would not be long. Sus-
pecting something wrong. however, he went to the
house, and there found his wife and the complainant to-
gether. After this (continued the defendant) I had of
course a great deal of unplea antness. I spoke to my
ife about it, aad she abused me. Last. Sunday evening
I saw something I did not like. Whispering took place
between the parties. I did not approve of this, and I said
so, and then my wife blackguarded me. Turning to the
complainant, the defendant then said, ." Do you
know anything of these letters ?" Cotnplainant—.
Yes,-I do. Mr. Mayor, I am only a third
,party here
these letters, though in my hand-writing, are, ia, oint
of fact, wr tten for another person. There is no harm in
them what, ver. (To the defendant.) I told you I would
bring you to the party for whom they were written, and
lam willing to do so now. Defendant—Were they not
written to my wife by you ? Complainant —That perhaps
is right, but not for myself. The Mayor—Stay a minute.
The charge here is, that a violent assault has been com-
mitted.on some person. Defendant—There is enough in
those letters to agitate anybody, and make any man corn
mit, an assault. The Mayor—Are these -letters in the
hand-writing ofthe complainant? Defendant—He admits
they are, and I have a witness to prove his hand-writing.
Complainant—l admit they were written by me. I said
yesterday, that if a proper investigation were made,
the..e would he nothing found to implicate me in what
the defendant would now charge me. The Mayor—
Does the lefendant wish these.letters -read in his de
fence? The defendant—l do, Sir. Mr. Lawrence then
read six or seven letters, which contained a mass of
endearing language. -The following are passages':—" I
love you ; by God, I love you, and. should like to run
away- with you, but that would not be right: . . .
;You call me' dear friend,' but I should call you ' dear
Anne.' I read your note with pleasure
I do . not think I have said any wrong. The
feelings of the heart, can't .be controlled, and for
, what you have said to me I think none the worse of
you, but indeed the bete. r. I would have said more,
but can't on paper. . . . ,I write this note to you
.—What to say I can't tell. There is ,a bar between us
. which no man can break.. Though you are another's, I
do not see the sin of feeling an affection." The Mayor
(to the complainant)—Pray, after the reading of these
letters, do you wish to press your compliant ? De-
fendant—Yes, I do. Other expressions of the com-
plainant's feelings were then read ;, such as, " You said
you loved me ; God knows I do the same by you.
. 'Nothing would please me better if one you
knoW wriuld die." These billet doux were directed
A. E. L.—To Ann Last, otherwise A. R." The
.de-
lendant—Gentlemen, these letters fell into my hands ;
was: not this enough to drive a man to do what I did ?
Are not these provoc#tions ? I wish to say no more, bu:,
leave the case in your hands. The Mayor—When
were you made acquainted with the existence of these
letters? Defendant—On Tut sday night. The Mayor
. (to the complainant)—What can you say to these letters?
The- complainant—These-letters are not written upon
my account, but for a young man' whose name is not
known, but which I will .make known, if 'necessary.
There is no criminality between us. The Mayor—Why
Aid you not bring this young man here ? The Corn-
acilainant—l sent for a witness (looking through the
window). I alare say he will be here directly. The
Mayors---What you have'to do is to rebut these letters.
The defendant has committed an assault upon you; in
other words, he bas given you a hearty drubbing. You
have been moralising, in your peculiar. way, with the
man's wife. Complainant—so, I have not. The Mayor—
I say yes. These letters show you have been on terms
With the woman— terms which inevitably would Produce
a want-a .confidence between her and her husband,'an'd
yet you say you have written these letters on the repre-
sentation's and for the feelings of a third party? Com-
plainant--Yes. The • ayor—Yeu have made your
complaint and sl.own your case, and the defendant has
shown his justification—the letters; and I must say no
sound drubbing was ever more soundly deserved than
that he has given you. We dismiss the complaint.—
(Applause in the court.) Defendant—Sir. The Mayor
—No. not a word. We say that under the circumstances
you. were provoked, but you are not to repeat this
drubbing, or excite one party or the ocher.—Suffolk

'DEPARTURE OF MR. CARUS
WILSON FROM JERSEY.
As early as seven o'clock on Friday morning crowds
of persons were, to be seen in the vicinity of Glouce.ster-
street, along the Esplanade and on the Pier. At eight
o'clock the concourse was immense, and a •ew minutes
after that hour a carriage was seen to leave the gaol
yard, but it only contained Mr. Wilson's and the gaoler's
luggage; as Mr. Wilson positively refused to ride. Im-
mediately he was seen-the crowd gave an immense cheer,
and several English gentlemen, after shaking hands with
him, joined in procession. and • upon all sides around
hint; the crowd also followed is the rear. All along
Gloucester-street and, the Esplanade, more persons
joined in, cheering at every step. It was laughable
to see the chop fallen countenances of the police
as they stood upon the Esplanade, and the hearty
cheers given by the multitude when they were recog-
nised by them.—" Hurrah for the Habeas Corpus,"
‘,! Hurrah for Wilson, the people's champion," resounded
on every side. Upon the Pier, the crowd was so great,
that it was with much 'difficulty a 'pa'ssage could be
effected; every place was filled; even the walls, the
rigging of the shipping—all had occupants. 'The cheer-
ing was almost continual 'the whole of the time of Mr.
Wilson's walking down toe North Pier. Oe'arriving near
the steps, at the Pier head, a large party of gentlemen
shook hands with him, congratulating him urn his forcing
open the prison doors in defiance of the jersey authorities,
and by lawful means—many hearty wishes for his sue-
ci-ss were given him. The cheering was still continued;
Mr. Wilson now turned round, and facing the people
said, " Brethren !—(Cheers.) Brethren !!—(Cheers.)
'Brethren ! ! !—(Still cheers.) Silence being restored,
he said, " God save the Queen!"—(Tremendous cheers.)
Silence again procured, " This is the triumph of the
Majesty of the Law over a tyrannical faction."—(Long
continued cheers.) After bidding adieu to 'his friends,
Mr. Wilson stepped into the boat in company with the
gaoler, and renewed cheers echoed again and again. His
stepping on board was the signal for further danonstra•
tion, and esr.-n in fact, all the time tie Monarch was in
the harbour, after she had left wad was in the roads,
cheering c tole from the pier, and, was • responded
to •by those on board: We have .seen Bishops,
Lieutenant-Governors, and whole , regiments arrive
find depart, , but never do we remember
seeing such an assemblage of persons as was
congregated on• the pier, upon Mr. Wilson's departure!
When the States' deputies, Messrs. Dupre and Godfrey,
pushed off to the steamer, they were bid adieu by hisses
and groans, but not one hiss, nor even one green, did
Mr. Wilson receive in the whole of his road from the
gaol to the pier. A number of the honorary police were
present as spectators. Centenier Chevalier made. his
retreat from the pier long before Mr. Wilson arrived;
and even- little Manuel, the policeman, told his friends
'he was afraid to remain! We were sorry that Mr. Le
Sueur, the constable, was unable to be present On this
interesting occasion, feeling convinced that if he had,
he would, have been astounded at the sight. However
his brother, Mr. I'rs. Le &your, left by, the same steamer
f;)r Londin, being the bearer of all his bright hopes on
the Habeas Corpus affair. There were
.between three
and tour thousand persons present.r--Jersiy and Guern-
sey News.

• FRACAS AT THE PARIS BOURSE.—The Revue de
Paris contains the fidlowing :—" The abuses which we
have from time to time pointed out in the sale of pro-
mises of railroad shares. produced a few days back,
at the Bourse. a scene highly disagreeable to those
who were affected by it. One of the companies
forined to" send in tenders for a railway voted
'by ',the. Chambers had long since declared that its
.lists Of subscribers were closed ; and, in consequence,
the,persons who had delayed too long to make appli-
cations. Kir shares paid a premium to procure some.
However, the agents who live by the negotiations that
are transacted. in the coulisse, beheld with dismay that,
day after day, fresh coupons of these promises, which
could no longer be procursd at the regular office, were
poured into the market. Suspicions were excited, and a
sharp look-out was kept, which ended in the head
clerk of ;the company's banker being caught
In the very fact of selling these promises with
a premium. The unfortunate fellow was at once at-
tacked, seized by the collar, abused, and threatened.
In .an instant the Bourse looked like a field of
battle, so great was the rush on the delinquent.
The banker himself happened to enter at the mo-
ment, and, being recognised, he was' surrounded,
and would have been assailed, and probably ejected
froth the ball, as the principal delinquent, if the
messengers and garde municipal on duty had not inter-
fered and rescued him from the grasp of his assailants
This scene produced a painful effect on the minds of
all.present ; and at present the new railroad com-
panies , are obliged to declare in their prospectuses
that they will carefully abstain from all operations that
'are' not strictly' regular ; that the projectors will
not .levy any exceptional profits, at the expense of the
shareholders ; and that the money paid in by the sub-
Scribers shall fructify for the
.profit of those who paid it,
and not of the persons receiving it. It is certainly ex-
ceedingly annoytng to see honest folks obliged to wake
,protestations of their integrity. The Chamber has just
adopted the Railroad Police Bill: it would be well if
they paid some attention too to the conduct of companies
sending in tendera".
