THE PROPRIETOR OF THE NEWCASTLE JOUR-
NAL v. THE DURHAM FACTION.

The Newcastle Journal of Saturday contains an account of
the proceedings before a Sunderland bench of magistrates on
Wednesday last, respecting a second attack upon the person of
Mr. Hernaman, the proprietor of that paper, by Mr. John
Kidson. the son of John Pexall Kidson, Esq., the Earl of Dur-
ham's law-agent at Sunderland, who had previously been held
to bail for a similar offence.

Mr. John Hernaman having been sworn, deposed as follows :
On Monday last, the 25th instant, I was in Sunderland on bu-
siness, and, whilst walking up the High-street of Bishop-W ear-
mouth, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, I ob-
served a young man, Mr. John Kidson, coming across the
street towards me. When near the Library, Mr. Kidson ac-
costed me. He asked if my name was Hernaman ? I replied
"It is." He rejoined, "My name is Kidson," and demanded
peremptorily with clenched fists, what I meant by insulting
him and his family? My reply was, "I could have nothing to
say to him in the public street; but that I was always to be
found at Newcastle, at my own house, and if he had any busi-
ness with me he might communicate it there." I continued to
walk up the street, followed by Mr. Kidson, who pressed upon
me, incessantly using very violent and threatening language,
and putting himself in a menacing attitude. When I got near
the shop of Mr. Huddart, hair-dresser, I looked round to see if
I could obtain the protection of a police officer, upon which Mr.
Kidson placed himself in a boxing attitude, with clenched
fists, put his hand to my collar, called me a d-d scoundrel,
said I deserved hooting out of the town, and threatened that he
would knock my eyes out.

A Magistrate.—'You are certain he put his hand to your
collar?

Mr.Hernaman.—l am positive he did, as will be corroborated
by another witness. I then became apprehensive of personal
violence, as Mr. Kidson was joined by some partizans, and I
sought protection in Mr. Huddart's shop. I found protection
at his hands; he did not say any thing to me, but I inferred
from his manner that he was inclined to prevent me from being
ill-used. On entering Mr. Huddart's shop, I was followed by
Mr. John Kidson, and his brother, Mr. William Kidson, Mr.
Christopher John Spence, and Mr. Thomas Taylor, all of
whom used violent and improper language towards me, but
eventually they left the shop, and I returned to the inn where
I was staying. This is the extent of my charge.
The case having been fully substantiated by the evidence of
a highly respectable tradesman, Mr. Cullen, before whose house
the outrage was committed, Mr. Kidson was heard in his de-
fence, from which we make the following extract:—He said, on
Monday afternoon I was walking up the street, and was told
Mr. Hernaman was on the opposite side. I crossed over to him,
and asked if his name was Hernaman ? He at first refused to
give me an answer, and then said his name was Hernaman. I
told him who I was, and asked what he meant by offensively
publishing my own and my father's name in a handbill recently
published at his office, and also in his newspaper. He made no
reply • and I asked him whether at any time dining my whole
life I 'had given the slightest cause for him to insult me or
my family? (Applause from Mr. Kidson's friends.) Mr. Her-
naman said he would give me no answer. I then said to him,
" Now, Sir, you attacked me at Your office, where I had not
the opportunity of defence. NOw, Sir, you are here ; you
called me a child (laughter); stand on your own defence, and
let us see which is the best man." (Laughter.) Mr. Herna-
man says I was violent ; I admit that I was so, and I trust that
the provocation I had received will be considered by the gentle-
men on the bench as a sufficient justification. I told trim he
deserved hooting out of the town, and that ho was a coward.
The Chairman.--Did you say that ? Why, calling a gentle-
man a coward is, of itself, a breach of the peace. Did you then
follow Mr. Hernaman into Mr. Iluddart's shop, and insult him
there ?

Mr. Kidson.—l admit that I did so. But I put it upon this
condition. I did not threaten to strike at that time, but said I
might have done so had it not been for a trial now pending, or
that I might strike if Mr. Hernaman again insulted me or my
family. As to what Mr. Cullen has sworn to, I have no doubt
he states only what he thinks actually did happen, for he is a
very respectable man.
Mr. Kidson having concluded his defence,
Mr. Hernaman addressed the bench, in the course of which
he said, I am not here to-day for the purpose of pressing the ut-
most rigour of the law against those by whom it has been vio-
lated; all I claim is, that when 1 come to Sunderland on
business—and I beg to observe that my avocations frequently
require me to be here, and are likely to continue to do so—that
I may be permitted to walk the streets in peace, and that I may
find the same protection which every Englishman has aright to
expect when he enters a respectable town. (Applause.)
The Chairman said they should call upon Mr. Kidson to
enter into recognizances, himself in £5O, and two sureties in
£25 each, to keep the peace towards Mr. Hernaman for 12
months.

Mr. Kidson (the defendant) said, with great energy, "That
is more than was required by the Newcastle magistrates for as-
saulting him there."
The Chairman.—Do you use such language here, sir, to the
bench ? If you repeat it, I will most certainly commit you.
The required bail having been given, t=ie parties departed in
psace.
