guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned in the house
of correction for twelve calendar months.

Prosecutor stated, that on the evening of the day
mentioned in the indictment, he had turned into a
stable-yard in Chesterfield.street, for the purpose of
performing his ablutions at a pump there, it being
the hour of prayer, when the Defendant, who was a
stranger to him, came tip and assaulted, and beat him
in a violent manner, and detained him in the yard
till he consented to send for half a pint of gin, to treat
him and some other persons in the yard.

the Prosecutor, who was exposing himself in an ex-
tremely indecent manner before some females who
were in the yard; he denied that he had forced the
Prosecutor to send fcr liquor—on the contrary,
Moses wanted to treat him, but he ref used to partake
of it with him, and recommended him to bestow it on
the women he had insulted by his improper conduct.
1 The Defendant having pleaded guilty to,the as-
sault, the Court sentenced him to be imprisoned three
days, and then discharged.
