effecting his entrance, the defendant struck him on the
cheat, and when he did get into the office, began using
threats and gross abuse, calling him (complainant) a
n7,nclrel, a swindler, and a rascal, and swearing that
lie .nut ::1 tear out his - guts. Complainant begged
the defendant to go away peaceably, but the defendant
dec:ared he would stay and smoke his pipe there, and
unless dragged out he would not leave the place until
he got some money, fur money he had come for, and
money he would have. It was necessary to send for the
assistance of the police. The c•nnplainain. said
sorry to have occasion to appear against a person f
whom he had transacted business, but as the defendant
had used threats of vengeance at some future time, he
had found it necessary to press the charge.
The defendant said the complainant had conducted a
suit for him, and had received all the money recovered,
not a farthing of which would he refund, either to him or
to the witnesses for their expenses.
An old man gut into the box and slid he be!ieved the
defendant's story was true, for he had been obliged to
get a judge's writ against Mr. Selomons.
Mr. Salomons said he had his bill of costs and legal
charges to show how the money had been disposed of.
At all events, if the defendant thought he was wronged,
there was a very easy remedy which ho might adopt.
Mr. MALTBY fined the prisoner 31.. or one month's im-
prisonment.
Edward Morgan and John Attwood were charged with
having committed a violent assault on Thomas Redford,
one of the constables at the Princess's Theatre.

The constable said the prisoners wanted to pay but
threepence for admission into the gallery, and because
refused they caused a disturbance. He was called to re-
mov e them, when he was violent►y assaulted by Morgan,
who struck him, bit a piece out of his finger, and threw
him down. Attwood assisted Morgan in trying to get
away, and was also very violent.
The prisoners said they offered copper at first, but
afterwards they paid a shilling, and receiv, d two checks,
one of which was still in Attwoad's possession.
The money-taker said he could not say whether the
defendants paid or not.
Mr. MALTBY fined Morgan 4/., or six weeks' imprison-
ment, and Attwood 305., or 21 days.
