The complainant and defendant are rival newsvendeTof
that class who are in the habit of waiting in the neighbour no
of steam-vessels, and thrusting newspapers in at the daor:00,
windows of omnibuses and other vehicles, with loud culo6liri
upon their contents. 'I he complainant had been tradinglinj
this way'for some years in the vicinity of London-bridge, in.
naturally met with severe competition proportioned to 'beef,
crease of the steamers' population. He experienced, ho'' t'ent
the most unfair opposition from the defendant, who not re'oa
with being mere boisterous and eloquent in favour of 14''utfor
commodities, repeatedly challenged the older trader to 00
101., and thus decide the right which each claimed to the Bind
lucrative business of London-bridge. The defendant 613„,i,
that his antagonist preferred the legitimate way of doing bled
ness, sought various other means of provoking him, and tunithst
him and his newspapers in the kennel, but, in perforating tired
feat, got floored himself, and while on the ground endeav°
to gouge or pluck out the eye of Mr. Ogle. altri
Mr. Fisher declared that Mr. Ogle had shown a very Arable
spirit of revenge unsuited to the character of an bon&
oilit
vender of intelligence, and, instead of arguing upon the he'd
of disagreement, gave him such a dab on the side of the„ to-
with half a hundred weight of information, that he lainialY
tionless for some time. When he came to himself he eer't )Io
laid hold of his assailant, and, in' endeavouring to prev" „Ito
Ogle from biting off and swallowing his finger, happen
slip his thumb into the eye of that gentleman. thOci
A policeman described the cooduct of Mr. Fisher as
a most savage and untutored ruffian.
Mr. Fi-her was held to bail for the unmanly assault. kith
