MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JUNE 22.
A remarkably stout old man, apparently 70 years of
age, named John Tebbtrt, an affluent brickmaker, was
indicted for having committed a molt cksr2rate ass;o!)t
upon Hart lion Trundle, a man in the em; loyruatt ul
Mr. Rhodes, the celebrated cow keeper.
The case was conducted by Mr. ALLEN, al;:j notwith-
standing the aggravated nature of the assault, elcited a
great deal of merriment in Court.
Thefacts were these:—The prosecutor has a pretty
wife, who was affectionate to him for tiventy years, and
would have continued so had not The defendant tAen
her in hand; but he has a perstidsive tongu. as well as
purse, and the twenty years' intimacy was not proof
against such temptation. He lives opposite to the pro-
secutor, and induced the lady to forsake her husband,
and take up her abode at his house. The husband used
the customary arguments to get her back, but she v.-
fused. He went over to the defendant's house, the day
after her disertion, took her gently by the arm and led
her home. This act was seen by the defendant's daugh-
ter, who ran and informed her father, who ordered
down the tool (a large stick), went to the prosecutor's
house, dashed in the window, forced open the door, ;.nd
knocked down and battered the poor husband in 3
dreadful manner.—Having completely disabled the un-
fortunate prosecutor, he again took possession of the
lady, who stood by, ready to fly eff with the conqueror.
The prosecutor was covered with blood, and his wife
never since returned to him.

In his cross•ex:tmination, he said he believed his w 11:
might be one of the prettiest women of the parish.
The defendant's Counsel ridiculed the idea of
test on such a subject between an aged inamorato and a
youthful husband. He declared that the misci.ief
to be traced to the groundless jealousy of the hu,bant;,
which went so far as even to supeet a man old enfmg4
to be his grandfather. Nu witneses were called tor
the defence.

Defendant.—" I assure your Worship I knows nothing ahJ: I.'s
wife. If I had two such wives, rd give one of them to the
to fetch away the other."
The Jury immediately. found the defen.faut Griilly.
