Williams bas seen me in the pith, sod meter ob•

Upon his crometeminotion he said. I was in my
garden ; my premises adjoin Williness's : there was
nothing to intercept my view. for though there were
two hedges between my premises and the spot in
question, I stood upon a bank. I first saw Taylor
in the field. Upon being asked how long he hail been
perched on this rostrum. be mid, very indignantly. it
was no rostrum, but a flower border in Me garden.
The field in which the dray took place is called the
Horse-paddock. Taylor had no stones In his hand
that I mw. I have known Taylor 10 or PI years ;
I went with Plaintiff before Mr. kVorrall in the latter
end of February. We had gone out together on the
Id of February, between two and three o'clock.—
There was a dog in the party. We had each gins.

Other o itnesses were called to prove the right of way.
Mr. G ast.t.te, for the Defendant, observed, that
the Plaintiff had given evidence of three assaults only,
whereas he had declared for four. The Defendant

of way.
James Williams was called.—l live at Oldstone.
My father and Williams are first corsairs,. I was with
Williams in his garden the 6th of Msy last. Taylor ;
turned out of the road into the barter. Williams
asked, " What (whim bsve you there; and where
are you going ?" Ile made no mossier, bet gave
words of phase. Williams told him there *seam path.
'Faylor said it was a lit, and he would make it his
road. Taylor went through the baring' into the field,
and picked up two large red stones, about llb. a
piece. Williams went net of the garden, and 1 fol.
lowed Lim. Taylor held the stones up. Williams
went and shook them out of his hands. They thee
wrestled in the field, and Williams had hold of 'f y .
der by the collar, and brought him back to the bar-
ton, then dragged him oat of the hatton, and wished
him into the toad. In the road Taylor said, "Yee
area d--d thief, and 1 will prove yew so"
Upon his cross-examination he said, Williams
gave lasi*, rather a krck on this thigh, out in the
road. Taylor cried out—U Lord ! 0 Lord tI am

dead.
Coorge.—l came in os the bustle the Gth of
May. Williams end Taylor bed bold of each other I
by the collar in the horse-paddock. They walked
very quietly oat of the batten, bolding one another
by the collar. Williams gave Taylor a shove off his
premises ; Taylor ►etreated on the same. lie then
called Williams a d—d thief. Williams touched
him a bit of a tip as the left thigh with bis right foot.
Taylor picked up stones; they sculled ; Taylor cried
" 0 Lord! 0 Lord !" After be got op be said,
si That's all I wanted of you."
Cross.eismined.--I am a labourer. A tipper is
where any one touches another lightly on the left
thigh. Williams did not kick Taylor, be only tipped
him. A kick is where a hurt follows. I am Wil.
liars's workman.
James Brown was theta called to disprove the riebt
of way, bet having failed in doing so, the Dr-
(misfit consented to a verdict for I'. being taken,
which, on scceest of the special pleadings, curie
full costs.

klAuslon.novst.—Yesterday James Wilson, the
mister of a free school in the City, instituted for the
education of the children of the poor Irish, appeared
before the LORD MAYOR, to tastier the coutplaiot
of a boy, it 'ears of age, who walks oo crotches,
and has en ices. in his right hip, in conseqsencs of
some injury which has made him a helpless cripple.
The boy, whose mother was loudly eloquent

describing the master's ferocity when be chastises,
stripped the child's bock, and exhibited the marks of
a cane, laid so ',Woolly with a pawed.' hood.—
There were at least a doses cols, each upwards of a
foot in length, from the peck aad shoulders doe*.
ward. The poor sabres said the master bad used
him In that senate teases* to stayed away from
school, a crime of which he bad been guilty in coo-
sequence of havieg no dinner.
The Schoolmaster assured the Lord Mayor, that
the boy was notorious for being a truant, aid for
disetedisece to his purists, sod meth*, tad

'lle Loan MA rot.-3t is Impossible that any we-
man, with a spark of hemenity about her, could
direct that s poor cripple should be treated ie so bre.

had used, sod (sub a view of proving that he had
not laid it on with the violence attributed to him) he
said he bad applied it to the naked budy of the boy,
instead of esercising it over Hs clothes, as other
masters would have dose.
The Loan MAYOII.-1 suppose you stripped the
poor child from a merciful consideration, in order

Whatever might base been your object in baring the

cane, I consider the Oration' of.him es most bru-
tal. It is ridiculous, as well ases!esl(fog, to give a
man who has no commeadwf his tompaesuy commaod
in a school.
The Schoolmaster said, it should be a lesson to
him as long as he lived. and begged that his Lord-
