MANSION-BOUM
Yesterday whole family of the Jewish gesemiliest toollistroS of
father and mother, run, Ind four daughters, word 1411mis9afiects.
charged with havinicommitted an assault, upon a Jewpilsomo
honoured from the evidence, that old Abraham Lyon bad been
a greet favourite in the Synagogue, in consequence of a strict ob-
serosonlie the Levitical law hbruilf, and an enforcement of a like ob-
servance In his own tribe as well as his family. As be was by trade
a baker, lie was Praised by the High Priest to bake the bread eaten
&ulnae Passover. This sacred office he had performed fa many
years; but having been detected in an act of disobedience to the
law of Moses, be was dismissed. In Leviticus it is enacted; that
no Jew shall travel on horseback or in the highways during the
Sabbath, or other days which it is commanded to keep holy. Some
Sabbaths ago, old Isaaq, father of the prosecutor, was walking near
Tottenham-cross, wheel he perceived old Abrahami Lyon profanely
pleasuring it in a horse and cart along the highway. Old Abraham
shortly after received a call to attend the High Priest, before whom
he was in due form charged and convicted of a forgetfulness of his
duty, degraded from the office of baking the unleavened bread, and
dismissed upon the authority of the Old Testament. This dismissal
and disgrace pre rise to a quarrel, of which Duke's-place Aces the
scene. The prosecutor stated, that on Wednesday afternoon, he
had been to the East end of the town, and that he returned with
one of his, brethren through Petticoat-lane. As they passed the
house of old Abraham, the mother, four daughters, andson, sprang
upon him like so many natives of the wilderness, and beat him so
that he fell to the earth. The WOUND beat him with their hands
and feet, and the son, he believed, stabbed him with a knife. How-
ever, he received several severe wounds ; his arms and hands were
severely cur, and one of his Angers was nearly separated from the
rest. He believed that be should have died under their bands, bad
not his brOther approached, and with assistance saved him. He re-
collected nothing, and was in a state of insensibility for three hours.
Upon awaking, be found himself under the care of a surgeon, sore
in every part, severely wounded, and exhausted from loss of blood.
The Loao Mara& said,that as far as he could see, the attack was
a very aggravated one. He then ordered all the defendants, except
old Abraham, against whom nothing was alleged, to find bail.

GUILDHALL
The wife of one of the men tried for the robbery of the Bir-
mingham Balloon coach about two years ago, and acquitted, woe.
charged yesterday with having attempted to pass notes of the Bir-
mingham Bank, stolen at the time of the robbery.
Mr. Steadman, a Isaberdasher, in Beech-street, Barbican, to
whom the notes were presented, not being provided with sufficient
proof that the two notes he produced were a part of those stolen,
the prisoner was remanded.
Janes runt was charged with felony.—Robert William Turner
stated, that he is a coachman, and lodges at the Bull Tap, Holborn.
That on Sunday night he saw the prisoner enter the tap and take
from the settle a new box coat belonging to him (witness), which
coat him Sl. wrap it up carefully, and put it under his dark coat
and walk off with it. He followed him, recovered his coat, and
gave the prisoner into custody.
The coat was here produced and identified by Turner.—The pri-
soner was committed.

BOW-STREET.
shames Mori: and Francis Gough were charged with assaulting
Warren, a horse patrol, and effecting the rescue of two lads, whom
he was conveying to Bow-street, on suspicion of a robbery at Wands-
worth. The Magistrates of Surrey refused to take cognisance of
the charge, and the prisoners considered themselves as virtually
discharged. Morris was working on the road, and advised the pri-
soners to resist; Warren was attacked, severely beaten, and the
culprits got dear off. Gough protested that he was as innocent as
a bobby.—Both were ordered tls find bail;
Asset Mather, a journeyman hotelier, was charged with being
concerned in a gross outrage upon one of the dismounted patrol be-
longing to this nice. The patrol was on duty near the gate of
Vauxhall-bridge, on Monday night, when be saw a cart, driven by
the defendant, so completely crammed with persons, that he was
determined, if possible, to ascertain the number, in order to take tbe
opinion of a Magistrate, as to whether the driver was net amenable
to the provisions of Mr. Martin's Act for punishing cruelty to ani-
mals. While following and looking into the cart with that view,
some of the fellows riding saw him and exclaimed—" What is the
peeping at? Let's scree him out." Six or seven of-them
then jumped front the cart, and pummelled the poor patrol most
unmercifully, and their blows increased in vigour, when he said he
only wanted to take the name and number en the cart. The pri-
soner gave him a tremendous blow on the eye, and the patrol seized
him, and, in spite*: the efforts of the others to effect a rescue, held
him until assistance came, and he was conveyed to the watch-house.
Mather, in his defence, said the patrol struck him first.
He was committed in default of bail.—lt was stated that the cart,
drawn by a miserable half-starved hone, contained no less than lif-
teen persons 1.
HATTON-GARDEN.
Me. J. W. Parkins yesterday charged a Mr. Seagood, a jeweller,
with having obstructed him in the public street, and with stealing
his dog, and collecting a mob about bias. No assault was proved,
and this chose was dismissed.
Mr. Parkins then' charged Mr. Seagood with having got posses-
sion of the dog four years ago, when it belonged to Mr. Parkins.
The Magistrate declined having any farther explanation or opt-
matt on the subject, and the affair ended without any settlement
I of the important question of property in the dog.

UNION-HALL
A young man of decent appearance came before the sitting Ma-
gistrate, and applied for his advice. He wanted, he said, a warrant
for the appearance of a Gentleman of very considerable notoriety,
who had charged thin with having compounded a felony.
Mr. CHABLUII3 inquired who this Gentleman was?
Applicant—lt is no less a personage than Mr. Henry Hunt, the
celebrated coffee-router. I want to have a warrant granted for his
apprehension, in older that he may appear before your Worship,
and substantiate his charge, if he eau do so.
The Magistrate said, that be could not assist the applicant; be had
his remedy, if Mr. Hunt had really injured his character, by action.
An Irish bricklayer, named Pratt, was charged with turning his
wife into the streets.—Mrs. Pratt said, that the night before ber
husband came home at a late hour, and without rhyme or reason
I turned herself and two children into the street. She had given him
no provocation, farther than telling hint that he was a blackguard for
neglecting his lawful wife, for the embraces of other men's wives.
Pratt, in his defence, declared, that if ever one man was mere
unfortunate than another in having a vixen for his wife, be was that
self-same man. When she takes the lit into her head, she sets about
and breaks all the crockery in the room ; even the chairs and tables
go to wreck; and the night before, after smashing all the cups and
saucers in the cupboard, she demolished sixteen squares of glass
wirk ber bare feet. ." This conduct, your Honours, irritated me,
and Fedniit that I put her gently into the street by the shoulders,
'as the easiest and best ntanner of getting rid of her. If the LOAD
would take her to himself, it would be one of the greatest blessings."
Mrs. Pratt here exclaimed, " Ah ! Jemmy Pratt, 1,1 l live to tor•
meat you yet, with the blessing of Gon."
Pratt.—There, your Worships, bear that; it thews you what a
woman I have to deal with ; this is nothing to what I am used to.
I Amid be willing to give her half my earnings to live separate.
The Magistrates thought this the most advisable plan, and Pratt
promised to allow ber 10s. a week out of his wages, if she would
keep away entirely from his habitation.
