as he was proceeding on duty along Moore-street,

more, assembled at the angles of the Dials, which
he found was caused by the defendant bawling
out at the top of his voice, that the "placlircii,
bills " he had to sell, contained "an accouo,,
of the dreadful riots and military murders,
amongst the starving working classes. They were
readily bought up by the crowd. Some of the re-
spectable housekeepers expressed their alarm for the

ness requested the defendant to move on, but he re-
fused to do so ; and, on witness putting his hog'
gently on his shoulder to enforce his request, the de''

excite the crowd to his rescue. Several of them
terfered in a violent manner, and witness received,'
severe kick on the thigh, and was otherwise violent T
assaulted.

defendant's case as an assault upon a police constable
in the execution of his duty, and should impose the
penalty of 7s. upon him, or seven days' imprisonment
