DURHAM ASSIZES, Ave. H.

Mirk: Dixon, a sea-faring man, was this day tried
for an assault on Ann 111 scdonald, servant to a publican
at Sunderland. It appeared that the prisoner bed
been drinking at her master's bone, with some cow
panicles, till their bill amounted to seven shillings',
when her mistress was somewhat displayed with her
for not getting paid, as she supplied them with drink.
The prisoner, not baying the means about him to pay
the amount, proposed that some one should go with
him to his mother's, at Bishopswearmoutb (a place
lying coatiguous to Sunderland), aad he would thee
pay it. The girl was ordered by her mistress to go,
which she at Grit objected to do, as the empaaioas of
the prisoner had in the course of the, milling, bow

mistress by the prisoner, and remained there till the seat

since left it. Oa the prisoner's return with her, hi of-
fered to lay her master a wager that Ann and him would
be married before May, and that they bid been intimate
for some time, although he did not know it. Mrs. Des-
ning, her mistress, said that the girl never refused to go
with the prisoner, nor did she ever threaten to make her
pay for what the men had drank. Ana and herself bad
no particular conversation on the evening when she re-
turned home.
The Judge, in charging the Jury, reverted to some
points that were in favour of the prisoner.
The Jury also thinking there were some circum-
stances of doubt in the case, acquitted the prisoner.
The young woman, whose age is nineteen, related
her tale in a very artless and inoffensive manner. She
appeared to be in very indifferent health.
The prisoner made no defence; and, during the ab-
sence of the Jury (forty minutes), he became exceeding-
ly agitated. When the verdict was announced, he
paused, and attentitely looked at the Judge. but in less
than a minute he fell hark into thearms of an attendant,
and remained insensible for some minutes. Mr. Justice
Bayley directed his cravat to be loosened, and a phial to
be handed to him. When he recovered, he was convey-
ed out of Court. He is a married man, and bas three
children.

POLICE.

fl Li LIM ALL.—Yesterday Mr. W. Ogilvie, partner
in the late firm of Ross and Ogilvie, army agents, and
formerly an intimate friend of the celebrated Mrs.
Mary Ann Clarke, appeared on summons to answer the
complaint of a Mr. Wm. Pope, wboliescribed himself
of Brixton-hill, Surrey. for using divers threats towards
him, whereby he goes in fear of his life, or of some bo-
dily harm.
The complainant, who was at one period managing
clerk in the office of Ross and Ogilvie, stated that Mr.
Ogilvie was indebted to him fur various sums of money
advanced at different times, amounting to 2.6001. for
which sum he was in possession of Mr. Ogilvie's note
of band; that the said note had been long over due;
that various and repeated promises of payment had been
nride and broken; and that seeing no hope of recover-
ing his money in any other way, he had determined to
adopt legal means for obtaining the same; that on his
informing .111 r. Ogilvie that he should do so, that gentle-
man said, if he dared to do it, he would blow Isis brains
out. Mr. Ogilvie had made use of a like threat to him
.l,ont six months ago, upon his intimating to him at
that time a similar intention ; but as he (Mr. Pope) had
not then made up his mind as to the course lie should
pursue, he took no further notice of it. He had, how-
ever, now determined to adopt legal means to obtain his
money, and he feared, if he did, that Mr. 0. might put
his threat in execution. At all events, he did not feel
himself safe iu adopting the course he had been advised
to pursue, unless Mr. Ogilvie was bound over to keep the
peace towards him.
Mr. Ogilvie, in reply, acknowledged that he was
ender considerable obligations to Mr. Pope, the com-
plainant, and that be was indebted to him in the sum
be had mentioned, and for which he bad given him
his note of hand. Mr. Pope, he said, knew he was un-
able to pay—that lie was not, indeed, worth a shilling
ie the world, and that he had used his utmost endea-
vours to procure him his money, which he was still
in hopes of doing, but that the sure and certain means
of preventiag lugs se doing *a a Mr. P, adopting the
legal means which he new threatened. The lega
means to which Mr. Pope intimated his intention
to have recourse, Mr. Ogilvie said, were not proceedings
at law for the recovery of his money, but the publication
of certain letters and papers of his (Mr. O.'s) which Mr.
Pope had io his possession; papers of great public import-
ante, the publication of which would teed to disturb the
peace and hurt the feelings of the first families in the
kingdom. He disclaimed any intention of arm to Mr.
Pope, and said the words (which he did not deny) were
drawn from him by Mr. Pope's threat of giving pall
city to the papers in question.
Mr. Pope said, the papers in question were all he ha&
got for hi 52,600/. ; he had therefore a right to use thee
as he thought proper, and Mr. Ogilvie bad no right to
attempt to deter him by his threats ; he therefore
again claimed that Mr. Ogilvie should be boned over to
kelt p the peace.
Mr. Ogilvie had no objection to be bound over, but
hoped the Magistrate would also bind Mr. Pope over not
to publish papers of so much importance in their couse-

quence.
The Magistrate said, he had no power to restrain Mr.
Pope with respect to the papers in his possession; his
only duty was to preserve the peace. As however no-
thing more than threats bad been used, he should not
think it necessary to require bail for Mr. Ogilvie, but
sbontd be content with his own security.
Mr. Ogilvie accordingly entered into his own recog-
nisance to keep the peace towards Mr. Pope, and was
discharged.
MARLISOIROUGN-STREIT.•••-INSULTING
Yesterday Benjatuin Burns, the pugilist, charged amen
before G. B. Mainwaring, Esq., with having used vie-
int language to some soldiers who were in his house,
and making a great disturbance. Burns stated that on
Thursday night last, the prisoner entered his parlour,
where three soldiers of the Guards were sitting peace-
ably, when the prisoner intruded bis discourse on them,
and alluding to the circumstances which took pianos
the 14th inst., abused the soldiers in a violent manner,
and called them several opprohrioes names, which caused
his to take him to the watch-Wan, ea his refusal to
vat the house.
"The prisoner. its his defence, said that he merely went
into the parlour, and, in the course of conversation with
the soldiers, the affray at Cumberland-Rate was brought
forward. and be (the prisoner) spoke his sentiments
freely saying that it was a shame the military should
have acted so violently.
Mr. MAINWARING told him his conduct bad been very
improper in abusing the soldiers, and it was optional on
the part of Mr. Burn to indict his for the riot in h
house. Mr. Burn, having no disposition to punish bin.
only wished that be would keep from his house ; on
which the prisoner paid a shilling and wasdischarged.
