HATTON GARDEN.

1 Junes Jackson,* chimney-sweep, of Lamb's-square, Clerkenwell-
green, was brought up in custody of an officer' charged with assault-
' lag Mr. Richard Banos, the landlord of the Hat end Tuna, Hatton
wall, and with creating a riot and disturbance in his house, under
the following singular and melancholy circumstances :
Mr. Burton stated that, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the
defendant aid three other persons came to his house, and having,
as-they said', wine business to settle, requested the use of a private
mom ; they were accordingly shewn up to the front apartment on
the first floor, where they drank one bottle of port wise, and then
rung the bell for another, which was answered by the landlord
himself; and when be entered. the room two of the party were
tossing to see who should pay for the second bottle. One of these
.was Mr. !Samuel Cullen', a nightman, residing at HoUovray, and
in the act of tossing up a shilling it fell nu; of the window next
which Mr. C. was sitting ; he immediately stood up, and leaning
over the leads to see .where it had fallen, unfortunately lost his
equilibrium, and fell into the street, a height: of about 18 or 4o feet.
Mr. Burton and the remainder of the party ran down stairs, and,
when Mr. Cullen was taken up, he was, to all appearance, dead.
—Mr. Wilson, the surgeon, of Lower Saffron -14 W, was sent for,
and on examination, it was found that he had received some veer
serious internal hurt. having fallen almost directly on. his back and
loins, the back of the skull bad also come in contact with the pave-
ment, but fortunately no fracture had taken place. A vein was
opened in the right arm; but a considerable time elapsed before the
blood began to Bow, and great fears were entertained for his resto-
ration. Mr. Wilson, alter extracting a small quantity of blood,
began to have better hopes, as the pulse now throbbed, and the
beating became more free; however, removal in his present state
was deemed extremely dangerous • and Mr. B. readily said, that
his own bed should she at the service of the sufferer so long as it
might-be necessary. Hs was then about to be taken up stairs,
when, to the great surprise of every one present, the defendant,
said, "he would not allow his friend to be put to lsed in a strange
house, and he would take him home, dead or alive. A general
remonstrance was made en the impropriety and danger of removing
a man in such a state ; but Jackson, who was deaf to reason, per-
sisted in his determination. Mr. Burton then interposed his au-
thority, as landlord of the house, and said be would feel answerable
for the man's life were he to disregard the instructions of the
medical gentleman, who had so particularly forbade his re-
moral. Jackson then became quite outrageous, stripped off his
coat, challenged Mr. Burton to fight, striking him at the same
moment a violent blow, which laid the eye open nearly two
inches; Burton, provoked beyond all endurance by this gross
outrage, returned the compliment with good effect ; and, in the
scuffle, Cullen, Ivho was stdl insensible, was knocked off the chair.
The defendant's continued violence induced Mr. Burton to give him
in charge to an officer for an assaultl mid Cullen was then put to bed.
Mr. Button now said, that as he believed, the, defendant was in-
toxicated, hi did net wish to- press the case. provided be made a
suitable apology, and paid the slater .for his trouble.
