This line of defence caused some amusement
its effect with the Jury, who Blatantly Acquitted the prisoners.

Matthew Lowther; William Turner, and john StlArd,-
were indicted for assaulting T. Richardson, who stated
that he and the defendants were journeymen cabinet-
makers. They worked for Messrs. Stothaed, piannforte.r
makers, and he for Messrs. Ihynes-and Co. St. Paul's
Church-yard. On the 9th' of February, he was induced
by Lowther to go'to the Bear and Drummer public-
house in Windmill-street, where he was placed in a pa,..-
ticular seat in the parlour. When thtre, a quantity c f
yellow ochre and other filth was repeatedly thrown upon
him from an aperture in the wainscotting. From 15
to 20 men then rushed into the room, among whom vent
the defendants Turner and Stafford ; they seized him by
the coat, tore it, pushed.him on the fire, filled his hat
with rubbish, and put it also on the tire, threw him down
on the floor, and otherwise violently ill-treat d and
abused him, and ultimately pushed him into the cellar,
where he was bitten by a dog, and his clothes !urn. Hs-
knew of no other reason for his being thus treated than
that he was not a society-man, and wat what they de.
nominated " a black." The defendants weir society-
men, and had been formerly in Messrs. Baynes's em-
ployment ;but those Gentlemen would no longer employ
any journeymen who were society-men. -
The Jury found the three defendants Guilty.—Judgment deferred.'

• R. Evens wA s charged with assaulting Catherine Foley.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prosecu ion, stated that the
prosecutrix had been the servant of the defendant ; she
was a Scotchwoman, who had conic to London to look
for a place, and for his part he saw no good reason why
Scotch women should not seek their fortunes as well as
Scotch men—(/I laugh). The prosecutrix brought with
her from her native hills a good apretite, which, how.
ever, the defendant was determined not to indulge, as
he was in the habit of stinting her to a miserable
mutton chop—(4 laugh). The Learned Gentleman,
after a few further remarks, called
The prosecutrix, who said, she did not know what
the profession of the defendant was, except that he re-,
mained out by night, and staid at home all day. She
lived with him for three months and a fortnight, at the
rate of ten guineas a-yenr; besides that she lent him six
shilling,. When she called on him for her wages, he
pushed her down stairs, and threatened to call a con-
stable to take her into custody.
On her crossaexamination by Mr. Aux', she ad-
mitted that for a month previous to t!te day laid in the
indictment, the defendant was confined to his bed with
the gout.
For the defence was called a Mr. Stephens, who saiiJ
he was present when the alleged assault was committed ;
he denied that the defendant struck the prosecutrix.
[lt was here suggested that if the defendant paid the prosecutris
the wages due to her the case would not be pressed any farther.]
• After a great dell of altercation between the parties. it was agireed
to leave the merits of the case to the'arbitration of Mr. Barry.
A verdict of Guilty was in the meantime found against
thedefendant, and sentence deferred until Saturday.
In the course of the day there were several other cases of assault
tried. They were quite uninteresting except to the parties thenbelves.
The defendants in almost every case were of the fair sex.—The
Court rose at half-past four.

of Killaneek, whilst returning home in the evening,

murdered. Our Correspondent in Granard informs us,.
that the Coroner's Inquest on the body was three sevev
ral times adjourned: at length the Jury brought in the
following verdict—'" Came by his death in consequence
of wounds inflicted by some person or persons un-
known." It is said, we trust without foundation, that
this inhuman murder, like many others that have dis-
graced the North, was the effect of party spirit 1—

Monday evening, about five miles on the other side
of Doncaster, the Leeds Union Coach, coming to Lou-
don, met with a serious accident by coming in contact
with a waggon, which overturned it. The coach was
full, both inside and out ; and of the passengers, we
understand only four ruched London.; the others were
more or less injured. The coachman was also much
hurt; and George Young, who has been guard thereto'
for some years, had his thigh broken in two places.
