A third witness, who was passing at the time, said
he saw the defendant commit the assault.
Mr. ALLEY, for the defendant, said these Jews had
behaved in the most offensive manner by calling out
" old, clothes," at the door for a considerable time,
and collecting a mob about it ; when the Gentleman
then at the bar was obliged to go and push one of
them away. This prosecution was nothingless than
a scandalous attempt on the part of these fellows to
extort money from a respectable tradesman.
.Mr, James Moore said he was at the defendant's
house when the Jews came np to the shop. Mr.
Loyd was trot in tbe shop at the time. Witness saw
the Jews quarrelling with the workmen in the cellar,
and the prosecutor complained that water 'had been
thrown at him. Witness said to him that he bad no
controul over the men in the cellar; but that they
would soon. be going to their dinner, and then he
might talk to them, and try to find out who had
thrown the water on him. The Jews,-however, per-
.sisted in making a disturbance; and shortly after this

Jun, came np, the Jew began to abuse him, a scuffle
ensued, and-they both fell into the kcnnel together.
Another• foreman, in the batting department, at
the shop,- spoke to the prosecutor having broken the
windows ; and when Mr. Loyd came out he found the
two men beating Mr. Moore with a stick, and all Mr.
