Lieutenant William waiter Kali, R N, was put to the
bar on an indictment, charging him with having as-
saulted, on the 4th .Jur last, at the Hangerford
Coffee-house, twain Robert Hagan. Our Readers will
recollect this case arose out of,a fricat in the coffee-
room between the -Gentlemen, in consequence of some
abrupt language being excbanged.
Mr. ADOLPIILI3 having, in stating .the case for tha
prosecution, detailed the nature of the assault,
Mr. C..PuiLLIPs, on the part of the defendant, was
most willing to admit that the assault had keen com-
mitted ; and put it to.Captainitaghn to say whether his
honour would* not be better consulted by receiving as
apology, which Lieutenant Kelly wpw itady„to make?
Mr. ADOLPHUS said, as his Learned Vrlenti had ex-
pressed hii willingness to ,hake an apology, be should,
on the part of his client, say that nothing fuither was
wanting, which was dear from the fact of his gallant
client not having brought his action for dainagei, bet
preferred The mode by indictment.
Mr. Pntwes then, on the part of Lieutenant Kelly,
made the apology, and the parties withdrew.

to correct the accounts of the King's hounds. They are not stag
hounds, but buck hounds, and the object of their pursuit is not a
stag, but a buck of the ordinary deer species. -The stag is a quite
different species, larger and stronger, and of quite different action.
The female is called a bind, aryl their young a calf. In the deer
species, the male is called a buck, the' female a doe, and their
young a fawn.
The Cheshire Hounds will meet on Monday at Stapleford; Wed-
nesday, at Peover; Thursday, at Witkington.; Saturday, it Tatton;
