MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. '2l.

J' Anderson was indicted on three several Charges of
pot•stealing in one day. He was convicted on two of
then, and senteticed'to three months' imprisonment and
hard labour. •

J. Waits was'convitted of stealing buns in the parish
of St. Giles. The prisoner was a most incorrigible
thief, of which he appeared to be duly sensible•; for his
defence was, that he might be favoured either with
transportation or hanging, as he despaired of an honest
lieelihood in this country. Sentence—one month's im-
prisonment.
CaMeriite Macarthy was convicted of stealing a peck
of•coals from a barge, and sentenced to seven days' im-
prisciment. She appeared duly sensible of the Chair-
man's lenity, and bade him adieu, saying, a Mdy;Gori
bless your honour all the days hnd nights of your life—
mornings and all r
J. Barry and Ellen Regan were indicted for assault-
ing Mr. Ryder, headborough of Poplar, in the execu-
tion of his duty, whilst•arresting Regan. Sentence—
seven days' imprisonment.
Clifford was indicted for assaulting Mr. Fox,
of Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on the 24th
attly last.—The prisoner, who appeared to labour under
mental delusion, objected to be tried unless-the King
himself was present, as he said he could not hope for a
fair• trial from the Court and Jury, and it was 'a long
time before he would plead to the indictment.
From -Mr. Fox's testimony it appeared, that on the
day mentioned, the prisoner called at his house claiming
his wife and child from Mr. Fox. The witness is a
trustee for Mrs. Clifford, who lived separate from her
husband as a governess in a Gentleman's family, and
because the witness did not produce Mrs. Clifford, he
assaulted him with a large bludgeon. The prisoner was
found •Gbilty.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, the barrister, said, that he be-
lieved the defendant was insane. He had seen him in
'courts of Justice before.
The defendant said that he believed Mr. Prendergast
liras insane ; he had seen him in Courts ofJustice before.
The CHAIRMAN then ordered that he should be taken
away for the present.
Isaac Clinton, James Williams, and James Tong,
three corporals of the Coldstream Guards, , were in-
dicted fror a riot in Dyot-street, Sr. Giles's, and wound-'
ing George Pond, a street-keeper, with-4 bayonet, on
the Seth day of July last.
Mr. BARRY stated, that the present prosecution was
instituted by the Officers of the united parishes of St.
Giles and St. George, Bloomsbury, against the pri-
soners, for the outrage which he would be enabled to
prove upon them.—On the day mentioned the pri-
soners had been drinking freely in St. Giles's, and at
last fell out with some of the inhabitants. Poed and
ether officers interfered to preserve the peace, when the
prisoner Clinton drew his bayonet, and made a throst
at Pond therewith, which, after going through Ms
clothes, made an incision of two inches long on his
body ; and then the other two prisoners also drew their
side-arms, and they all made a desperate resistance to
the Officers before they were disarmed and secured.
Mr. BARRY then called Pond, Wyatt, and Riley, the
constables, who proved the outrageous conduct of the
two first named prisoners, as well as the stabbing of
Pond by Clinton.—Clinton and Williams were found
Guilty, and Tong acquitted. Clinton was sentenced to
ten weeks, and Williams to siz weeks imprionment.

David Edwards, who was convicted on Saturday for
a fraud, in obtaining 21. from a man named Duncan,
to defend his brother at the July Sessions, was sentenced
to four months imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Catharine Irving and Anne Irving, found guilty yes-
terday of cruelty and ill-treatment to poor infants under
their care and protection, were sentenced, the former to
four, and the latter to three months imprisonment in the
House of Correction.

Moses Cass, Harriet, his wife, and Harriet, their
daughter, convicted on Saturday of keeping a brothel
of the vilest description, at Enfield-Wash, were sentenced,
the first to three months; and the two latter to four
months imprisonment in the House of Correction.

James Bartlett, one of the Bow street patrol, con-
victed on the 14th instant of assaulting Mr. Pennell, a
Gentleman residing at Bayswater, was sentenced to
only one month's imprisonment in the House of Correc-
tion, in consequence of his being dismissed from his
situation as a patio].

The Jewish inhabitants of Weimar have applied to
the Grand Duke for a modification of his recent ordon-
nance, enjoining ad the divine service in their s'Ynagognes
to be performed in the German language, so far as to al-
lowing certain prayers and religious exercises, on which
depend the blessings and consolations which the pious
hope to enjoy,. to be recited in Hebrew. The Grand
Duke has, by a rescript, desired the Rabbis and other
learned deWs to specify the passages of the service re-
ferred to in their Petition.
Friday evening, a weaver, from Rutherglen, return-
ing home, about 11 o'clock, was attacked by five or six
ruffians, robbed of 235. thrown over the wall into the
river Clyde, and had his broken by the fall. By
the exertions of a very.active young man, residing near
timbal's Toll-bar, leading to Pollokshaws, the poor
man was saved from ,drowning, and brought to the
Glasgow Police. Office.

DONCASTER RACES-.-Scorrusza 20.
The Course was crowded beyond all former precedent, and the
most Intense anxiety existed amongst all classs, and the various
rumours flying about as to horses which were expected to start, made
the sporting men very cautious in their betting. The variations in
betting previously to the race, exceeded all former precedent. None
but those who were" in and in" could possibly discover the mean.
ing of alternately bringing up as favourites in one stable, hlustacbio,
Altisidnra, and Caccia Piaui. The most knowing ones were at
fault, and the common salutation eras—. there never was such
times." On the Sunday morning, great consternation was excited
by Streatham being sold and delivered into the hands of —;
no one could tell his owner, as it was not declared. The following

Serab, 'rarandus, Reknit., Alfred, Walton, 1. Oswestry, b. c. by
Ebor, Monntaineer, Hannah, Burysthenes.
AU the horses went off very close together. Streatham, son
after starting, took the lead, followed by Tarandus, and made very
severe running, being at one time at least two lengths ahead of the
other 'horses. After passing the Red•house, Brutandorf challenged
Streatham, but was soon defeated, and the latter kept his place until
he had passed the Distance-post, when Canteen and the Millet
came up, followed by Jerry. •At the Stand the Miller had the lead.
which he could not keep, for Jerry, when let loose, won easy by a
length. The :Miller was third (though not placed), and Streathant
and Brutandorf 'were fourth and filth.— Run in three minutes and
twenty-nine seconds. The winner was rode in fine style by 8..
Smith, and Canteen, by T. Shepherd. •
The general opinion is, that Streatham (though rode by the cele-
brated W. Arnold) would have won, had he been jockied by Tem,
pleman (who steered him at York), under the directions of the ex-
perienced groom who trained him. Upon the whole, though won
easy in the end, it may be considered a tolerable sporting, but not a
remarkably fine race. It shill be seen that 'all the it:tales of celebrity
In the kingdom were in requisition, the veteran Buckle in the list.

THE FIGHT TESTERDAY.

~ . 1

This Mitch was made for'Steekmart to fight a scientific chap, once
called " the Sailor Boy," of the name of Axes, now a man, for £5O.
Fairlop, or at least the ground contiguous to it, a quarter of a mile
from the celebrated May-pole public house, was the chosen spot,
where a vast concourse of persons assembled.
.The Commissary-General 'had no orders for the P. C. Stakes,
and at length Fishwick, announced be had Apes and stakes Ohio
own, and the ring was made. Jem Ward and Dick Curtis tied
the colours to the stake fur Stockman; and Ben Burn and Dick
Grindley challenged defiance on the part of Jones.
Boutin 1. Stockman made the play, but he iivethit himself, and
necessari!y got into a rally. Both seemed too eager to make any
effective deliveries, and no harm was done. In Of struggle for the %
fall, Jones, who was the heaviest, got it ; but in going down, Stock-
man, by a dexterous manceuvre, got the best of the fall: the ground-
just suited the hard-nobs of the opponents.

2. Ina courageous round, Jones had thetest of a smart rally. In
the clove, which ended the rally, Stockman weaved (vulgarly called
a fibbing"); but the sailor kept the lock siptm his arm, and threw
him. Jones shewed first of claret:
5. Stockman missed with both• his hands; his head was nodded
away, when Jones sprung *upon him. The sailor went in with the
greatest of that.whieh. Broughton called great game. He proved
himself a very xlever fellow, and no rush of Stockman's could hurt
him. He could either parry or be offensive; and Stockman went
down With the worst of the round.
4. Stockman was piping. Flats sung out, " Who has trained
the man." Dick Curtis, in return, cheered his man, and said " I •
wish some of you brawlers would come and have a trial."—No
symptoms of any such offer. A smart rally. Bath down. The
bout decidedly in favour of Jones.

5. No mischief done, although much meant. Stockman turned
the fight in his favour, ad cracked his adversary's lower jaw, from
which claret had no denial. Jones bad no inclination to go down,
but he was fibored against his will.
6. Jones began to duck his head, and was beat; or at least,it was
5 to 1 against his winning.
7. Jones was floored by a throttler.
S. Jones, ducking his head, Stockman met him up with the left
hand, and administered to him until he had ptetty nearly out and
outed him.
.After the 16th round Jones had no chance, and Ben Burn, his
second, gave in fur him. Stockman, the winner, shook bands with •
his put (the fallen), pocketed the Gude, and went home quite jolly.

POET.

When the black howling tempest is raging around me,
I'll start from the chains which to this world have bound me,
With my lyre in my hand, I'll ascend from the wale,
With the speed of the chamois, the rude mountain scale,
Whose bleak summit, wrapp'd in a garment of snow,
Like a pale banner gleams through the darkness below;
There give me, ye lightnings 0. u. spark of your lire,
'Mid the elouds,.l'U awake the wild notes of my lyre!

The bolt whizzes past.—Hark! Me deep rolling thunder !
The proud oaks are shivered, the rocks part asunder.
From the far-hidden caverns the echoes awake ;
On the crag's rugged bosom, like long billows break ;
'!tie avalanche, torn from the white peak on high
Bears the forest before it, and swift rushes hy;
The rock's broken masses are swept in its trail,
TM the crash of its ruin is heard In the vale!
In the clouds which beneath me twasaltneesly sail,
lite mole is Sapping her wings to the gale,
SWeireing, -and swelling the blast with her moan ; .
Destroyed is her 'dwelling, her young ones are gene !
With her pinions around thern.she lay In her nest,
She smiled on the storm, for it lulled them to rest,
TM the avalanche came. With la earth-shaking force, •
And swept an she eherishtd ittay in its course!
Here. as on Nakirees dread conflict I ponder,
Mytboughts are raisd high, and my heart swells with wonder,
The tempest's dark terrors awake not my fear,
For the Game One, who rides in the whirlwind, is near,
As the hills rock beneath, and the clouds fly beihie thee,
Illissirrr Snare! I fall to tie earth and adore thee,
Whose voice.is the tbesder, whose breath is the storm,
When he bows at thy throne, what is man but a worm ?

ARTISTS' DINNER AT EDINBURGH.
Friday, the Artists Orriiiiburgh held their third
annual dinner at the British Hotel, Queen's-street, is
commemoration of the distinguished honour conferred
by the King on the Fine Arts during his Majesty's visit
to Scotland. The Chair was ably filled by Alexander
Nasmyth, Esq. with his usual kindness and urbanity, a
Gentleman who has laboured all his life most success-
fully to advance the Arts of his country. The meeting
was numerously attended; but what added greatly to
the pleasure of the Artists on this occasion was the pre-
sence of their distinguished countryman, David Wilkie,
Esq. It. A. and Limner to his Majesty for Scotland.
This celebrated Artist is now here for the purpose of
painting portraits, and collecting materials, for a pic-
ture of the King's arrival at his Palace of Holyrood, at
the express desire of his Majesty. When the Chairman
rose and gave the toast of the day, " The King, the
most enlightened Sovereign, and greatest Patron of tbe
Arts in Europe," every Artist felt how much he owed his
Majesty, and the toast was drank with feelings of the
deepest gratitude. Here the Chairman took occasion
to remark, that his Majesty was not a nominal patron,
but a real judge, and a liberal encourager of the Fine
Arts; and observed, that his Majesty's mat to Scotland
must be productive of the most beneficial effects to the
Fine Arts in this part of the United Kingdom.
After the health of their distinguished guest, " Mr.
Wilkie," was given from the Chair, in rising his feel-
ings were much overcome by she rapturous manner in
which the toast was received. In a most elegant reply
he expressed the warmest love for his native coenuy,
and that it was his highest pride to be known wherever
he was as a Scotsman. Here he took the opportunity
of remarking with pleasure the great progress the Arts
had made in his native country within these few years,
and paid a well-merited tribute to the talents of the late
John Graham, E.q. He also mentioned, with mingled
feelings of regret and esteem, the loss which the Arts
had sustained be the death of that eminent Artist, the
late Sir Hein y ltaeburn.
The whole of the evening was an intellectual treat,
and must have made a lasting impression on every
Artist present. Mr. Wilkie was listened to with the
gi eatest attention. His nervous manner of expressing
himself chews deep thinking, as well as sound reasoning.
There was no department of art which was not referred
to by him at considerable length. His remarks on the
art of engraving, as connected with sculpture and paint-
ing, :hewing how little would have been known of the
greatest works of the old masters, without the aid of the
sister art, was practically expressed, by supposing copies
of them " to be wafted as if on wings to the most dis-
tant parts of the globe ;" and this he illustrated by al-
luding to Mr. William Allan's account of having seen
in a Russian cabin, on the borders ofTartary, two prints,
" the Death of Wolfe," after West; and the interment
of " General Fraser,' after Graham—a circumstance,
which afforded the late venerable President the greatest
satisfaction. The whole evening's entertainment was
highly gratifying, and the party were deeply indebted
so Mr. Nasmyth, who on this, as on former occasions,
sheared the greatest readiness to promote the good of
Att, and impart delight and instruction by his conversa-
tion. Mr. Landseer, whose talents as a painter of ani-
mals-deservedly rank him with Snyders, &c. was also
present as a guest.
- At the Cardigan ra;eatesr.ions, Richard Dekhoye
WIN tried for manslaughter. The prisoner and the de-
ceased, Wm. Bowen, had been drinking together at the
Raven, Aberystwitb, about three years ago. On going
out they quarrelled, and fought two or three rounds,
all of which the prisoner had the worst. They were at
last separated, but met again, when the prisoner struck
the deceased with a stick on the side of the head, from
which blow he died in the course of about fifteen days.
On the Inquest a verdict of Manslaughter was brought
by. the Jury against the prisoner. Shortly after, he left
this country; but sin his recent return he voluntarily
surrendered himself up to be tried at the present Ses-
sions. The evidence on the part of the prosecution
clearly proved that the deceased died from the violence
of the blow received from the prisoner. Mr. linsam.
defended him, and attempted to call witnesses on his
behalf to prove that he had done acts chiracteristic of
a humane man.—. The prisoner was found Guilty, and
sentenced to be fined one shilling, and imprisoned one
calendar month. _

The Chinese annals relate, that a young Prince once
diverting himself in the garden with his Pages, in the
presence of his Preceptor, said to one of his Pages, in
sport, " I make you King of such a place." " What is
your Highness doing?" said the Preceptor hastily. " I
was only in jest," teplied the Prince. " Sir," said the
Preceptor, " the word of a Pi ince should never be jest:
you have made the boy a King, and he must be sch-.-
your word cannot be recalled." The nomination was
accordingly confirmed.
"4 The Theatre at Sydney appears to be in a very
flourishing state," said a Gendossars to John Ketable, akiai of
the Botany-bay theatricals. " Yes," replied the trt a, " Abe
performers ought to be all good, for they have boas selected sad
seas to that situation by Very eacelleat Advs."

1101[ TUN OLAILOOW JOURNAL.

In the Trades Hall, on Friday, eame-on, before Mr.
DOUGLAS, Mr. WINCIATIL, and Mr. LAwaiscatisui
Justices of the Peace, the Petition of Mr. Peter Hutehi-
manufacturet„- ageinst John Allaa, weaver, Park-
d; and JohN IMO, weaver, Glasgow.
The petitioner stated, that a conspiracy had been en-
tered into by the hand-Mom weavers in Glasgow and
ether parts of the country, to root him out of the trade
by a system of intimidation, by violent harangues, and
kfiammatory statements—by collecting money for the
avowed purpose of preventing weavers and beausers
*Dm continuing in Mt. Hutchison's employment—by
-using threats and creating. riots against those who
worked for him ; and that, in coesiquence of this sys-
tem of intimidation, many had been obliged to leave
bim. The defendants were charged with being art and
part concerned in this conspiracy, and by secret and
overt acts to hare tried to root Mr. H. out of the trade.
Several witnesses were called to prove the case, in
many of whom there was a great deal of reluctance and
lisckwardness to answer any questions which bore
against the Association, and they bad to be frequently
admonished from the Bench.
No witnesses were called in exculpation ; but in the
cross-examination many of the witnesses said no per-
sonal violence, nor throats, nor inducements, had been
used towards them.
Mr. BASLAS shortly addressed the Court for the pro-
secutor, and Mr. SINCLAIR for the prisoners, after which
the Court was cleared, while the Justices considered
their interlocutors, at one o'clock. It was 20 minutes to
four when the doors were again opened, and the Hall
was filled in an instant by the people, who had waited
in the street. The clerk then read the interlocutor in

the case of John M'Beth, which applied in like terms to.
John Allan. It found him guilty of haring been, within
the last three months, concerned in an egal combinat ion
and conspiracy to thrust or toot Peter Hutchison, manu-
facturer in Glasgow, out of trade, and cam ing into
effect a system of intimidation, %hereby a nutnber of
persons, who were willing and desirous to execute the
work of the said Peter Hutchison, have been wilfully
and maliciously overawed from executing such work,
contrary to the Statute made is. the 64th year Lf the
reign of his present Majesty, entitled, " An Act to re-
peal the Laws relative to the Combination of Wotk-
men, and for other purposes therein mentioned ;" and,
the Justices issued convictions, ordaining imprisonment
of the said John Allan and John M'Beth, in the com-
mon jail, for SO days, for the said offence.
On the reading of the sentence, Mr. Hutchison rose,
and said he was convinced the prisoners were actuated
by no malicious motives to himself personally, but were
moved solely by what they conceived (however erro-
neously) to be for the good of their fellow-tradesmen.
His motive for bringing this action was not anything
connected with these men individually, but for the pun.
pose of having, by the Justices' decision, the combina-
tion declared illegal. He therefore begged that the pri-
soners might be discharged without punishment, if that
could still be done.
John Allan then addressed the Court, and said he
hoped, although the Court had found them guilty and
sentenced them to imprisonment in consequence, they
did not look upOn them in the light of felons, and
would not confine them along with characters of that
desci iption.
.Mr. Douot.As then said, in. a very feeling manner,
that his brother Justices and himself were at present
placed in a situation which was most disagreeable for
Magistrates to be placed in. With regard to Mr.
Hutchison's request for a remission of their sentence, he
was not sure if it was in the power of the Court to com-
ply with it. He *would, however, rather . avoid giving
any precise opinion upon that point. At any rate their
imprisonment would be of the most lenient kind. The
Act under which they had found them guilty gave them
imprisoned
them power, if they had so willed it, to have
them iu the House of Correction, a place justly held to
be infamous ; they might have also extended the period
of imprisonment to two months • this, however, they
had no inclination to do. He looked upon the prisoners
as men who bad been misled by something or other into
a connexion which was calculated to lead to results
which he believed the prisoners did not contemplate. For
this night they wouldonly be taken into private custody.
John *Beth said, in acting as they did, they did not
know they were breaking any law, since the Combination
Laws, by the exertionsof Mr. Hume, had been repealed.
As the (Amen of the Court were taking the prisoners
in charge, a man beside them cried out—" I would be
proud to be in your situation."
The Court broke up at twenty minutes past four
o'clock this morning.
After the Court had broke up, Mr. Hutchison's agent
stated to the panels and their agent, that Mr. Hutchi-
son was now willing, in as far as he was concerned, to
carry into effect his former motion, by now passing from
the execution of the warrant.

To this it was answered on behalf of the panels, that
they. had no objection to be discharged, if Mr. H.
would admit that they were innocent, and that the pro-
ceedings of the Association, in reference to himself, was
not a violation of the law.

Upon this Mr. H:s ageat stated, that the panels would
for the present remain in custody, to make up their minds
on the point: and we have since learned, that they ulti-
mately declined to avail themselves of Mr. H.'s propo-
sition, and have therefore been sent to prison.

The safe of the coach office, Chester, was Lroken open
and robbed on Thursday night last. The thieves ob-
tained a rich booty in two boxes of gold and silver
watch cases.

The number of licensed spirit retailers in Ireland for
the year 1823, was 10,855 ; of grocers, 6,023 ; brewers,
205 ; chandlers, 721 .; coachmakers, 56; goldsmiths, 47;
maltsters, 850 ; and the number of gallons of spirits
made, was 2,052,795.
Information was on Monday received at the different
Police Offices, of a burglary and extensive robbery,

of Mr. MiGelaid's house, Great Rumen -street,. with a number of
house breaking implements in his possession, and who, on his former
examination, refused to give his name, but referred r his reopen-
ability to Mr. Wisely', a highly respectable merchant, residing in
Lamb's Conduit-street, was brought up for *al examination.
Mr. Cocaut, the Magistrate, said, that since the prisoner was
last examined he had seen Mr. Witeley, the Gentleman towboat he
had referred, and that Gentleman fully corroborated all the or
some lad Mid as to the respectability of his /*roily, the smileless-
flea be bad necked, and the respectable situations white he hal,
held, both at Demerara and in this country ; but he was seemq to
add, that although tb:re caitiff* me doubt of the high
of hia family and comae:ions, there were considerable doubts on
the mind of Mr. Witeley as to the regularity or correctness of life
which he (the prisoner) had been leading since his return from the
West. India. •

Mr. Costar said, that Mr. Witeley, and the rest of his friends,
Including Ms mother (his father, bb understood, was dead), were
fully of opinion that he had got agued with a set of bad characters
of late, and had no doubt but he was guilty of this offence • they,
tharelenl, instead of wishing Mm to be let off, were very desirous
that hesbouldbe punished.

and whatever punishment you nuy award me, I shill willingly sub-
mit to without a marmertand I Milt it will be a caution to me the
remainder of my life."

Commit you for two months, lostead of three, as I first inputted,

Yesterday, Mr. James Bentley, of Litchfield-street, Soho, was
brought up, charged with having committed a gross assault and oat-
rage on the person of Mr. James Gather, of 10, Francis-street,
Tottenham-court-road, under the following extraordinary ciretim-
stances : Mr. Gamer stated, that about half-past 10 o'clock yesterday
morning he was walking with a gentleman along Grafton-street,i
Soho, when about the middle the person accused crossed (tom the
opposite side of the way, seised him violently by the eollar, shook
bun severely, and called him a thief and a robber. His extraordi-
nary conduct caused a considerable number of persons to gather
round him, to whom defendant painted him (Mr. Garner) out as a
thief, ami accused him of robbing him of a sum of money. Wit-
ness ending the defendant would listen to no remonstrance, and that
he insisted upon charging him with the robbery, considered it ne-
cessary to give him in charge of an *Seer, that he might substan-
tiate his assertion before a Magistrate if he could ; and if not, that
he (the accused) might be held to bail for so gross an outrage. Mr.
Gamer concluded his statement by declaring, that he never in all
his life saw the defendant before he accosted him as described; and
could of coarse only account for his extraordinary behaviour from
his (Mr. Garner) bearing a retembLuKe to some other person.
Mr. Bentley said that Garnet was not his name, but Tanner, and
that be acted as an attorney, eed had robbed him of thirty shillings
about two years ago. He (Mr. Bentley) happened to contract a
debt with a person named Kenner;ey ; Mr. Tanner found it out,
and sent him a lawyer's letter, declaring, unless he immediately paid
the debt and costs he would artest him, and actually served him
with a copy of a writ. Subsequently he had an interview with Mr.
Tanner, at his chambers in Austin-friars, where be undertook to
stay proceedings upon payment of thirty shillings, which witness
accordingly paid. Mr. Bentley persisted he was right in the person,
and would swear to it immediately.
Mr. COPIA VT now asked Mr. Garner what he had to say in an-
swer to the charge of Mr. B:ntley?
Mr. Garner said be would dearly prove to his Worship he was
not the person. lle now resided at No. 10, Francis-street, Totten.
hant.coutt-road, and was an accountant ; prior to that he lived in
High 'Holborn, at which time he was a clerk in the firm of Messrs.
Hoelditch, coach .maker, in Long-acre. He decisted most soimmily
that be never resided in Austin-friars, that be never acted as an at-
twiny, nor as an agent in the profession, in all hisAfe. He could
prove the truth of his statement by a Gentleman who was present,
and by Messrs. Houklitch, and indeed by' a hundred persons. •
Mr. Thomas Jones stated that he knew Mr. Garner for the lest
seven years, and was confident he never could have acted in the
way described. He was a Gentleman of the strictest honour sad
integrity. Witness was quite tore he never lived in Austin-frian.
Mr. Garner said he would not let the subject pass unless be (Mr.
Bentley) made a public apology sin the newspapers to him.
Mr. Betides, said he had no objection to make a verbal apology,
bat he would not consent to have his name exposed in the papers.
Mr. Commie dumght Mr. Ciarner's 'lifer very fair, and advised
Mr. Bentley to accept it.
Mr. Bentley peremptorily refined, and he was ordered to Ind
sureties to answer the assault upon Mr. Garner at the Sessions.
