WOYSIIIP-STREET.

Yesterday a powerful fellow, named Samuel Badgery,
was placed at the bar IR fore Mr. Bingham, charged with
the following unprovoked assault upon a poor woman
named Sarah Mullins, the wife of a labouring man resid-
ing in Richardson's-place, St. Luke's :
The prosecutrix, whose face was mu,h contused,
stated that while standing at the corner of Bath-
street, Old-street, near her own house, at one o'clock
that afternoon, she saw the prisoner most shamefully
ill-using a poor blind man who picks up a scanty
living in that neighbourhood by selling tapes and
laces, and after witnessing his conduct for son: e time,
in the hope that some man would interfere for the
blind man's protection, but which no one did further
than giving vent to exclamations of indignation, she at
length went up to the prisoner and told him that he
ought to be ashamed of himself to so knock about a per-
son old enough to be his grandfather ; on which the
prisoner turned round, and, telling her he would serve
her the same, instantly struck her a violent blow in
the face which felled her to the pavement; on recover-
ing from the effects of this violence, she got up and
called for the police, and was a second time struck:to
the ground ; her screams at last reached the ears of her
husband, and brought him out to her assistance, but he
had no sooner made his appearance than the prisoner
furiously rushed upon him, and, knocking him to the
ground also, finished his operations by giving him
several violent kicks in the ribs with his hobnailed boots.
Several of the male bystanders at length interfered, and,
a constable being procured, the prisoner, who made a
stout resistance, was overpowered and secured.
Three witnesses corroborated the above statement in
every particular, and described the prisoner's conduct as
cowardly and gross in the extreme.
The prisoner, who displayed great violence even while
at the bar, and so rolled about the dock as to give
grounds for supposing he was labouring under the effects
of intoxication, flatly denied all that had been stated
against him, and called a friend of his to make geod his
assertion; but this person, so far from doing so, fully
substantiated the evidence of the other witnesses.

Mr. BINGHAM considered it a most cowardly and un-
provoked outrage, and sentenced the prisoner to pay a
fine to the Queen of 505., or in default ordered him to
undergo a month's imprisonment and hard labour in the
'louse of Correction.

ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAM
Yesterday the poi:ill's :went on at; a rapid rate for
Alderman Brown, but Mr. freprel's friend shove°
their opinion of-his etig-agit,g in the contest byrcoluing
forward in very Innlted niintl,eis indeed.

At thre:.! o'clock the following numbers were el'
hibited

Mr. Alderman Brown
Mr. Ireppel
Alderman BROWN came forward amidst 10,
cheers. He felt, he declared, most grateful, when be
lo:dled at the state of the poll, exhibiting, as it did,
very remarkable contrast.—(Cheers.) He had been
on the hustings but seldom that day, for he hail taken
the advice of his friends, who apprehended that tuii
excitement might be greater than he could very well
bear, and recommended him to stay away. Ile bad
a habit of -thinking aloud upon many occasions,
and he thought that he came to the hustings'
and looking at the board, where he beheld all
extraordinary difference between the two candidates'
he represented to his friend Mr. Heppe
necessary it was to keep up the show of a Nate' t
He thought that Mr. Heppe' most gravely replied till
he persevered to vindicate the privileges of his fell°11:0
Heppel how n,nt:
Liverymen—(Laughter)—that he was resolve bait
supply them with an opportunity of recordinc, tb,e
votes for him. He thought that the Livery of Laonal
most respectfully and gratefull feeling the obligatit%
they were under to Mr. Heppel, who had upon his
right hand Mr. Taylor, and upon his left Mr. Wanseq
said that they would avail themselves of the honour °t
recording their opinions by proving that they did lid°,
want that candidate who had manifested such fond'
ness for their privileges, but had selected an Alder•
man, one Anthony Brown for the office.—(Cheers)
Such was his thought. He would now pass from itin
dream to reality. He exhorted the Livery to go
and show the extent of their impression. He c°u
not help saying that, although all personality had been
disavowed, he felt that he was a persecuted
that Mr. Heppe], without the remotest chance of stli
cess, had thought proper to call for a poll. dl
think that his feelings ought not to have been
worked upon—that the business of the Livery sh°ll,
be unnecessarily interrupted by one for whom scarcel;
r
five hands had been held up in the hall.—(Cheers"/
He concluded by expressing his hope that, in a lei
days, he should appear before the Livery to the')
them for their exertions in hi 3 favour.—(Applause•)o
Mr. HEPPEL came forward amidst mingled applau
and hisses. He assured his friend Alderman 13raw,
that he was influenced in the course he was pursuinb.,
by nothing of a personal nature, and that if Alderman
Humphery happened to be in the situation of Aldieila
man Brown, precisely the same line of conduct slip
be adopted. He considered it to be his duty to 911°08
the Livery the means of recordinc, their vo es for °e,
who was not an Alderman, and he declared that %
veral of the Livery had expressed to him their en!!!A.
approbation of the principle for which he contend he
Mr. AMBROSE MOORE stepped forward. As
was a great hater of all humbug, he would encleav°.a
to expose the fallacies in which Mr. Heppel had litoh
dulged.—(Cheers.) Ile charged Mr. Heppe' 1/
„,..
having gratuitously placed a gentleman who had t
formed the duties of Magistrate for upwards of tvreAll
years, in a situation by which an expense of 6vch
would be incurred.— (Cheers.) Upon
‘what was,suro.
a proceeding justified? . If upon the principle of Pee
tecting the privileges of the Livery, the Livery wi,
certainly much obliged to him for his care and cleit
deration, but the Livery were well able to protect the
own privileges, and looked upon the conduct °
f
candidate as an unwarrantable intrusion.
The Hall was then adjourned.
