On Sunday afternoon last, William Mist. one of
the brickmakers belonging to Mr. Whitehead, of
Cadarta-place, in the parish of St. bike's, Chei,..l,
beat. and kicked his wife, in Little Kceer-street, in.
that parish, in a most unittentifmLoapmer, and afte.re.
sArds, followedher into the yard, stabowd her in the
loins with a clasp-koife,declei iatg that nothing should
prevent his mordering her. The poor %roman was

AIAKI.BOROUGII-STREET,
The Right Hon. Geo. Tierney charged Mr. Iffe-
ress, a bookseller, on Saturday, at this Wk.!, with
assaulting him in Pall-mall. It appeared in evidence,
that the Prosecutor was in company with Lord
Spencer, walking along Pall-mall, when Mr. Jae-
reys assailed him in the most affronting language,
and upbraided the Noble Lord in company e i,h Mr.
Tierney, for walking with him. The Prosecutor, to
avoid the Defendant, attempted to enter a shop in
Pall-mall, but the I)ef.udant got between him and
the door, and putting himself in a boxing attitude,
prevented it. It appeared that Mr. Jeflereys had
conceived that the Prosecutor had attempted to in-
jure him in trade; but Mr. Tierney di.ehaimed any
such attempts, and ari.aled, on the contrary, that he
had even recommended him. Mr. Tierney observ-d,
he had not the slightest animosity against the De-
fendant, but he must insist on his finding sureties to
prevent himself being again thus molested. The Ike
fendant was held in bail to keep the peace, himself he
2001. and two sureles in 501. each.
