MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aux 17.

Petrick Amen was indicted for assaulting Mary
Gregory, with intent to commit a capital offence. It
appeared from the girl's statement, that the defendant
had lodged at her father's house for nearly a twelve-
month, at a rent of 2s. per week. On the day-named in
the indictment, the defendant and sbe being alone in the
kitchen, he put his hands round her neck, and attempted
to kiss her. She repelled his familiarities, upon ;visa
he threw her upon the bed, where she struggled against
him, and ultimately succeeded in getting away from
him. However, he again caught hold of her, and she
again got away. She then seized the poker, and swore
she would knock him down if be touched her again.—
Whereupon he ran after her, but his foot slipping, be
fell on his back, and she taking advantage of his pros-
trate position, turned upon him, and belaboured him
about the face and head most unmercifully with the
poker, the marks of which were still suificiently apparent
on his face. He got up as quickly as he could, and
abused and kicked the girl until some persons came to
her assistance. Her evidence was partially corroborated
by the testimony of a neighbour, who had been attracted
by her screams, and who deposed to the marks and
bruises on her limbs.
The defence attempted to be set up was, that the girl
had promised to marry the prisoner, but on the day in
question she came and sat on his knee, and then told
him she had changed her mind. 'He insisted on her
stating her reason, and would not permit her to lean
his knee until she did so, and this it was that gave rise
to the gunnel. This statement, however, was not sup-'
ported by any evidence, and flatly contradicted by the
prosecutriz.
The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and he was
sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the House of
' Correction.

The cases having been all gone thtougl
the Court adjourned to Thursday, the 261

at 5 o'clock
instant.

Twetvrn or JOLT.—We have made selections from
the Irish country Papers and from some of our private
letters, regarding the preceedinv'of the Orangemen
last Thursday. In Ennisktlea, though there was much
excitement, happily no lives sviere lost. The Orange-
men had also b :ofires, but though the alarm among
the quiet and well disposed was considerable, little
mischief appears to have been done. In Newry and
other places where Orange processions took place, we
, are also happy to flail that tranquillity was not tlisttubcd.
