PADDINGTON COACHMEN.

J. Wakriow was indicted for a •iolent assault on
John Boyd, a greet keeper of Mary-la•bonne, in the exe-
cution of his duty.

Mr. ADOLPHIIi stated the case for the prosecution.
The defendant was a Paddington coach proprietor, bui
on the day in question, the lst of September, was driee
ing a gig:along the New Road,and being actuated by the
same spirit as when on the box of his stage coach, pro-
ceeded with the most.heedless fury. The consequence
was that a poor woman, named Keeling, 70 yeas of
age, who was crossing the road at the LissonGroveGate,
was knocked down, and so seriously hurt, that she is not
yet recovered from the injury. The passengers though,
the woman killed, and cried out, " Murder! siopt
stop!" The defendant, however, I igged on with in
creased vigour; but a street-keeper, named Cooper,
seised the horse at the Yorkshire &ingo, and Boyd and
another, having picked up the poor woman, went to
assist in securing the defendant. The latter, who had
a publican's son in the gig with him. immediately be-
gan to horsewhip the officers, and called out, " Drive
over the they know I've got money, and want to
rob me of it." He knocked the staves out of their
hands,
,and a number of coachmen and cads came
out of the public house and exclaimed, " Roll on to
h—, master, over them all;' and, putting their shoul•
der: to the wheels, turned the horse round, and rescued
the defendant out of the officers' hands.

These facts were proved in evidence.
Mr. ALLEY addressed the Court for the defendant,
and called a number of witnesses.

Mr. ADOLPHUS replied—These witnesses had very
little altered the complexion of the case. It was evident
that the men in the gig thought the lile of the poor
woman not worthy of their regard. They had been on
an excursioo to Stratford, and as, according to the old
saying, A cup in the pate
Is better than a mile in the gait,

they cared for nothing but how to get over the road.
The Jury, contrary to general expectation, returned
a verdict of not Guilty.
In the case of the King against Mr. and Mrs. Grin-
dell, for an assault on their landlord, who wished to
get them out of his house, Mr. SMITH moved th 4t the
recognizance: of the defendants bail might be enlarged
'till next Sessions, on the ground that they were not now
prepared to go to trial, the prosecutor having led them
to believe that be was willirg to compromise the matter
up to the last moment, and having appointed a meeting
yesterday for that purpose, which the defendant at-
tended, but the prosecutor did not, and on that account
they were taken by surprise.
The CHAIRMAN could not grant the application on
these grounds.
Mr. SMITH then said that the defendants would come
in on the adjournment day.
Two young men, named Street and Britermagent,
were indicted for an assault upon Thomas Speedy.
It appeared that the prosecutor was landlord of the
Boot public-house, Cromer-street, St. Pancras. On
the 10th of August he was going to St. Alban's, ac-
companied by a friend named Jamieson. They stopped
on their way, at about ten o'clock at night on Finchley
Common, and went into the Torrington Arms public.
house for refreshment. On entering the tap-room, there
was a general cry of " Body snatchers...informers:9—
The lights were instantly put out, and the prosecutfq
and his friend turned out of the house, after being se-
verely beaten. A watchman, named Tinny, desired
the persons who were engaged in the assault upon the
prosecutor to drag him to a horse-pond, a short dis-
tance off, and duck him. The/ wete proceeding to
adopt the watchman's suggestion, when the prosecutor
as a rase asked one of the party to fight. and after two
or three rounds said he had enough. He was again
1 beaten, and dragged through a filthy ditch, and left in
the road quite insensible.
The prisoners sets identified by the prosecutor and
his friend, as being two of the most violent of the party
engaged in the outrage.
The prisoners were found Guilty, and ordered to be
brought up for judgment on Saturday.
AN ODD TITUS FOR A FATIIIIR.-Betty Sullivan wall
indicted for assaulting Kitty Kelly.
The prosecutria, a dumpy daughter of the Land of
Agitation, deposed that the defendant struck her three
times on the face without the slightest provocation, and
called her such names as she would be ashamed to
make use of in that Court.

•• Pray," said Mr. PHILLIps, who appeared for the
defendant, " did you not, delicate as you now are, call
the defendant very naughty names?"—l did not.
Mr. Pincus's—Did you net say she was a w—?
Prosecutrix—So' I did not; I only said she had a child
by so and so—(Laughter).
Mr. PHlLLuts—By so and so; who is he? This Mr.
So and So appears to be a terrible fellow in that part
of the country you come from. Ptotecutris—Then it
was Pat Hussey—(Loud laughter).
Mr. PHILLIPS—Very pleasant information truly for
poor Sullivan, who is near me. And so you think that
telling a woman that she is an improper character is no
provocation? Prosetutrix—l only told her what was true.
The Jary returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the
defendant was discharged.

Yesterday afternoon, as the Rev. Jahn Cullen, Mi-
nister of a Dissenting Chapel, at Stockport, near Man-
cheater, was proceeding along the London-road, he
stopped at a broker's shop, and bargained for a writing
desk. He tendered the broker a deposit, but had no
sooner done so than he fell upon the steps, and hame-
diately expired. A surgeon was in immediate attend-
