BOW-STREET.

The following application was made some days since to Sir R.
Marts, on which there is, undoubtedly, no occasion for comment.
A Mons. L. G. W. K. C. Kattorsky made the complaint. This
Gentleman, it appeared, was a teacher of the French and German
Languages at the school of Doctor Moseley, at Little Ealing.—
Some time ago, two young Gehtlemen, the honourable A. Curzon,
and Mr. Frederick Mansell, both of whom are at that establish-
ment, tieing in want of money, applied to Mons. Katorsky to assist
them. lie very kindly lent them what he had. This was soon
exhausted, hut the disposition to extravagance of the young Gen-
tlemen was not. Their tutor had no more money, and therefore
they persuaded hint to pawn a valuable brooch to lend them the
produce. The Gentlemen having obtained what they wanted-.-
having sucked the orange, they were disposed to throw the rem-
nant of the fruit away—no offer was mad* on their part for a
considerable period to pay Monsieur Kattorsky. At length he
began to be impatient, and remonstrated rather warmly on the
subject. They were loud in rebutting these imputations on their
honour, and still further to convince hint and the world in general
of the purity of this'r sentiments, they thought proper to admi-
nister the discipline of a horsewhip on Monsieur Kattorsky, in his
own room. These were the facts related by the complainant.—
Some time elapsed between the granting of the warrant, and the
time the young Gentlemen were apprehended. Considerable inge-
nuity was employed by the parties engaged, to obtain a hearing as
privately as possible, but without effect. Doctor Moseley, the
schoolmaster, in whose house the outrage was committed, ex-
pressed an anxious wish to make such an arrongnnent as might
prevent the case from appearing in the Newspapers; but both at-
tempts failed.

Th. e parties having made their appearance, accompanied by Dr.
M. and a solicitor, complainant was rcquesttd to twat.: his case.
listing done this,

Sir IL Bram asked what the defence was they Intended to set up?
They referred to Dr. Moseley. lie said, he had heard a disturb.
ance in the room of Itlons. K. and on that account went up stairs.
When he arrived there, he found that Gentleman holding both the
defendants by the hair of the head. They were then separated.
The young men afterwards went up stairs, with a horsewhip behind
one of their backs, to demand an apology for the insult they had thus
received. Then it was that Mons. K. seized the poker, and struck
one of them on the head, which caused him to lose a pint of blood.
Sir It. Bums—How did you know that ?
Dr. M.—They told me so.
Sir It. ihastsz-014, they told you so. Idle persons, accused of
a crime, will exculpate themselves as far as they can.
Mons. K.—A poker was placed in my baud by some oae, I know
not who, but I did not use it. When I complained of this conduct
to Dr. Moseley, I was dismissed. And when I told him I must
seek justice at liow-street, he said, " it will he of tie use your going
their. Sir it. Birnie is a very particular friend of mine ;it will cost
you a great dial of money, and I s'aisil be able to outbuy you. I
shall write to Sir It. Ernie myself on the subject."
Sir R. lin:Nig—Which, by the bye, you did not do, at least to my
knowledge ; and which, if you had, it would have been a most im-
proper thing; indeed a most impertinent thing. I want no inter-
vention of persons in these cases. This Gentleman, who is com-
plaining, is a foreigner, but he is not the less entitled to the protec-
tion of the English Law. An outrageous assault has here been
committed, and, therefore, the parties must give bail. Their hap-
pealing to be connected with Nobility makes no difference whatever
in the administration of the law.

Mr. Woods, the clerk, asked what the amount of bail was to be ?
Sir &cumin—Common bail : I don't wish to make them of_ so
much importance as to demand any inore than common bail. -
'lle parties then left the Office.

A young Gentleman, of about the age of le, was brought before
Sir Merman Manta, charged with rather an extraordinary species
of offence. On Thursday evening, the youth, with a companion,
went to Drury-lane Theatre, and entered at the 0. I'. I'it door.
When they had arrived at the paying-place, the defendant laid down
a half sovereign to pay for their admission. Being rather intoxi-
cated, he dropped half-a•crown, which he received as part of his
change. Immediately he
.placed his hand across the entrance, and
declared he wculd not allow any one to pass until he had picked up
his fallen coin. The crowd pressing with great anxiety to pus the
bar, an ohiicer pulled him on one side. He then drew out a small
pocket pistol, afterwards discovered to be loaded with ball, and
locked, and presented it at the money-taker. It was forced from
him, and he was taken into custody.—Tbe culprit here said, `• La
double."

Sir li. Urania—Are you a foreigner? Culprit—No, Sere, but I
have travelled (this with a tone imitative of a Frenchman).—lt
was then further stated, that when asked if he bad any other pistol,
be acknowledged he had, and accordingly prodeced it. This was
also loaded and locked.

Sir it. Drams asked what he had to say in his defence? Culprit—
Why, Sir (hiccup), 1 lad my half.ctown (hiccup), my feelings were
very much wounded (biccup)—l usually carry pistols, as I.have to
cross brick-helds in my way to Kensington.
Sir Merriam—But bow did that autbottse you to commit such
an outrage? Culprit—He bsiiilleime.
Sir Hammers-11e bullied you? Culprit—He bow eikd me.
Sir Ricarazn—He bullied you ? Culprit—He pouilkd me.
Sir R. Blasts—Oh, he pulled you ? Culprit— Yes, Sare.
Sir R. Biaxia—Who are you, Sir? Culprit—There is my card;
you will find that my friends are perfectly respectable.
Sir R. linuda-1 don't doubt it, but that makes no difference.
The Magistrate, in order to teach him better manners in future,
ordered that he should find bail ; and the young man who accom-
panied him—his bow ami, as he called him—fetched some folks who
did the neediuL
