preferred a charge of assault against Mr. Thomas
Saunders, solicitor, No. 11, Gray's Inn-square, under the
following circumstances.
__ . _

Mr. "Cowles, solicitor, stated on behalf of the com-
plainant that his client having received a letter from
the defendant concerning the payment of a bill of 51.,
which was overdue, repaired to Mr. Saunders
office, and tendered him five sovereigns as
liquidation. The defendant refused to accept
the money without an additional five shillings for the
attorney's letter. This Mr. Elson refused to pay, alleging
that he had been very badly treated in the matter. inas-
much as he had not received the letter demanding pay-
ment until a few hours before a ,ifidt would have been
issued against him for the amount oft` the bill. When
Mr. Elson refused to pay the five shillings, Mr. Saunders
collared him, and shook him in a. most violent manner.
A scuffle then ensued, in which Mr. Elson received
a cut over the left eye, from which he bled
profusely. Mr. Elson shouted murder, and two of the
inn porters rushing in, th' affair was put an end to.
Finally the five sovereigns were received by Mr. Saun-
ders, and Mr. Elson took the bill with him.
Mr. Saunders stated that he had not struck Mr. Elson
at all, and that the scuffle ensued in consequence of Mr.
Elson wanting to go away with the bill and money.
The defendant was fined I/. and costs.
