LONDON SESSIONS.

I

Yesterday two persons, named Bayfield and White,
were tried upon an indictment, charging them with
having violently assaulted Mr. Brown, a creditor of
White, in Whitecross-street, on the 23d of May.
Mr. Brown stated, that White was a prisoner, who
was indebted to him, and that on the 23d of May he
received a letter from White, requesting that he would
call upon him to accommodate the difference between
them. Witness went to Whitecross-street prison, and
saw White in a private room, but that Gentleman, in-
stead of acting as a debtor ought to act, spoke in a ca-
valier tone about Mr. Brown's conduct in the Insolvent
Debtors' Court, and complained of ill usage. Soon
afterwards two men, with blackened faces and sleeves
tucked up, entered and told him he must depart. He
refined. Some confusion took place, and White pointed
out witness, aid said be was the man. The two men',
then approached him while he had a penknife in his
hand, with "which he was picking his nails, and called,
out for a red.hot-poker to make him drop the penknife.
He'was then seised, dragged to the pump, pumped
upon, covered with ashes, dirt, and saw-dust, after which
he was pelted out of the prison.
A person named Bampton confirmed the above state-
ment. There was no evidence that Bayfield had taken
an active part in the assault, White has, it appeared, a
wife and seven children.

The Jury acquitted hayfield, and found White guilty,
but recommended him to mercy.
The RICOaDER said the assault was a most atrocious
one, and it was evident Mr. Brown had been enticed to
the prison, in order that he might be treated with the
violence that had been dealt to him. In consequence of
the-recommendation of the Jury, the Court would miti-
gate the punishment, but it was necessary that an exam-
ple should be made; and Mr. White must for two months
submit to hard labour in the House of Correction (the
Tread-mill).

LONDON ADJOURNED SESSlONll.—Saturday Messrs.
R. S. Hele, C. Knatchbull, and J. Watsom, were indicted
with many other persons not in custody, for a riot and
assault in the Fleet Prison, where they were confined, on
the 14th of July last, the circumstances of-which were
(silly stated by us at the time. The defendants had fre-
quently expressed their regret and contrition for their
conduct.—The Jury, after being absent about three
quarters of an hour, returned with a verdict, finding
Hele guilty of the not, but not of the assault, and ac-
quitted both the other defendants. In consequence of
this special verdict, the Court was unable tr,pass any
verdict on Hele, because the indictment charged the
defendants with a riotous assault, and not generally
with a riot.

The Corporation of the City of London have decided
to bring in a Bill next Session for erecting toll•gates on
BlAckfriars Bridge, with power to borrow such sum on
the security of the tolh as may be requisite for placing
the bridge In a state of thorough repair. This measure,
with the present tboroughfere over 131ackfriars Bridge,
will prove excessively inconvenient to the Public,
