MARLBOROUGH-STREET--(This DAY.)

Randall appeared before Mr. CONANT this day, accom-
panied by Mr. Harmer, to answer the charge of assault preferred
against bins by Scott, who also appeared, accompanied by
Mr. Vixen, clerk to Mr. Hutchinsola ; the case was heard in part
yesterday.
Wm. Miller sworn—l accompanied the complainant Scott to
Mrs. Bligh's house on Friday last. zr knocked at the door and
a French servant opened it. MCWaott said he wished to see
Mrs. Bligh. The servant said he -ISSUId not see her, and refused
to take a: message to her. Scott then said he would not
go away till he should see her, uponwhich Randall the prisoner
came up, and told us in a blustering l_ttn.e that we must go out.
'There was another servant at a distal fee, mitii be within hearing.
Examined by Mr. HARMEA-Nobody said that Scott must
write what he had to say to Mrs. Blikk; when Randall came, I
do not recollect that he said Mrs. Bligh would not see Scott ;
Randall said to him, you must go out, and then caught hold of
him by the shoulders and pushed him out violently ; he used much
greater force than was necessary ; he pushed me also.
Mr. CONANT—Mr. Harmer, you must prove that the servants
had general instructions not to admit the complainant, otherwise
the prisoner's conduct is not justifiable.
Mr. Harmer—l will do so, and then there can be no doubt that
his conduct was correct.

Mr. CONANT—Not without remoustrating.
Mr. Harmer—! will prove that he did remonstrate.—Pray
Mr. Miller, what are you ?
Miller—l am a smith and bell-hanger.

Auguet, the French servant, sworn—l, saw Scott and
Miller received a message, through the housekeeper, that Scott
was not to he admitted, and told Scott so, and said he had better
write to Mrs. 8., if he had any thing to say ; Randall came up
about two minutes after, and told Scott he could not see
her ; requested him to go away, but Scott persisted in
staying, and Randall then quietly pushed hint out.
Mrs. Bligh, who had been in the Magistrate's private room,
now made her appearance ; she is a tall handsome figure, with a
very prepossessing expression of countenance. She stated, in sub-
stance, that she gave orders not to admit Scott, and that they
were addressed without violence. She saw him from her room ;
be was a black-haired man. ,

Scott—Who would you call a blackguard, Madam ?
Mrs. Bligh—l said blackhaired, Sir. She here wept bitterly,
while many of the bystanders seemed iinlined to keep her com-
pany. It was altogether a touching scene, and our Reporter him-
self was visibly affected.
Mrs. Scott, who is a tall woman, then furiously stepped for-
ward, and said, " there's the muff (producing it) that Mrs.
Bligh used to wear, when she went every night to meet M.
Wellesley. You (to Mrs. Bligh) are come here to disgust people
with your -"
Mrs. Bligh then retired.
A Gentleman who accompanied Mrs. Bligh here said, that the
only object of the complainant was to spy out matters for other
parties ; that for the last few months the house has been
so strictly watched, that not a thing could pass without
the world knowing it, and Mrs. B. had, in consequence, been so
much annoyed that she w•a9 even obliged to make a statement to
Mr. Peel upon the subject.
After some desultory discussion between the Solicitors the case
was dismissed.
