GUILDHALL

An old man complained of having been duped in
Smithfield on Friday se'nisight by a horse-dealer,
whose name and addess he could trace, who had
'sold him a rank roarer, worth about 21 , as a sound
horse. When he got him home, he found that in-
stead of having four black legs, as appeared to his
eye, three of them were white and had been painted
the opposite colour ; and upon taking off some trap-

. „
pings (which had been given in), what he had mis-
taken for the horse's natural tail and fore-top, came
off too, having been cleverly affixed to them. He
understood the horse had travelled half over the
kingdom in the hands of this dealer, who would re-
purchase it from purchasers upon making a consi-
derable sacrifice. He produced the false tail affixed
to a linen strap as a specimen of the dressings he
had mentioned.
Mr. Alderman ANSLEY laughed at the ingenuity
of the horse-dealer, and said he would grant a sum-
mons against him for the fraud, if complainant
would bring his name and address, but he thought
it would be more beneficial to the applicant to pro-
ceed in the Marsha'sea Court, which he might do at
a small expense.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Henry Jarvis was on Saturday re-examined be-
fore Mr. BROUGHTON, charged with violating the
person of Miss Louisa Damenbergen, the daughter
of a deceased foreign merchant, under circumstances
detailed in the report of the first examination in the
Times of last Tuesday.
The case seemed to have excited a considerable
degree of interest, evinced by the exceedingly
crowded state of the office. The order of the Ma-
gistrate that all females and young persons should
withdraw before the details unfit for their hearing
were entered upon, had the very natural effect of
greatly increasing the curiosity of the former, many
of whom retired with evident reluctance, in obe-
dience to the frequently repeated intimation of the
Magistrate's desire.
The prosecutrix had a violent hysterical fit when
the examination was about to commence. The Ma-
gistrate proceeded in the first place, therefore, to
examine the surgeon, whose certificate had been
produced on the former occasion.
Mr. Wm. King, a very young man, stated that he
is a surgeon, residing at No. 70, Margaret-street,
Hackney-road, and ,on the Friday evening after the
alleged violation charged to have taken place on the
Tuesday night, he was called in to examine the per-
son of the prosecutrix, whose mother told him she
supposed the offence had been completed. His evi-
dence did not tend to support the charge.
' Mr. BROUGHTON—How do you reconcile your
evidence with the certificate you before sent, stating
that the prosecutrix had been injured by an attempi
to violate her person ? Witness—l wrote that I
believed there had been such an attempt.
The Magistrate said, that in his certificate he said
positively that she had been injured by an attempt
at violation. (A strict search was instituted through-
out the office after the certificate in question, but it
was no where to be found.)
Mr. BROUGHTAN—Has any application been made
to you stating the manner in which your evidence
might affect the prisoner ? The witness said, there
had not either directly or indirectly been any attempt
to influence his testimony.
Mr. 13RouG0Tos said, he knew that attempts had
been made in all quarters. Even to himself there
had been an application in writing. He knew not
how to believe the witness, whose certificate and
the evidence which he now gave were wholly irre-
concileable.
Mr. King explained, that his certificate was
written from the mother's aecount of the daughter's
linen, (which, however, he never saw,) from which
he then believed what he wrote in the certificate.
Mrs. Damenbergen in her examination stated, that
she had DCVO' observed any familiarity between her
daughter and the prisoner, who had merely been
employed at her house as a whitewasher some time
ago. The assault with which he was now charged
was not made known to her till the following Thurs-
