parel out of the Netvhory wagion. as it was standing at the gm 4
the Rose Inn, Fleet market. He bad removed the trunk from the
tail, which was well secured, to the head of the waggon, when he
was observed and secured.
John slroustaorth, a coal-heaver, was charged with a violeet assault
upon Henry Queville, an old man, who stated that be lived at
Westminster. A Gentleman residing in Tbames.street preferred-
the cumplaiot; from whose statement it appeared, that the prisoner
suspected the old man. and a soldier who was in company with him,
intended to play off the old trick of ring-dropping upon hint, they
pretending to find a ring, and !co appeal to him as to the value of it.
This was quite enough for the coal-heaver, wbo immediately turnedi
to and gave tkent both a dreadful beating, although neither of them
offered any defence. The witness was of opinion, that his Imsme•
diate interference only saved the lives of the men—their clothe"
were coveret. with blood. Arrosworth, in his defence, urged thee
attempt to take him in as a full juoification ; bit the Aldermatio
committed him, in default of bad, for the assauk.
