W Cummings, two desperate characters, were br"iiiit
1 up in custody of liarrison,,theCrty Officer, eimoi
i with a brutal assault upon Susan Boner, in the neigh.
bourhood of Bistopsgate, on Sunday week. T. kn.
kinson, another notorious individual, WM illeleded
in the warrant for the same outrage; but lre has tifel
already apprehended and committed for trial.—T„.,
Prisoners, Cummings and Henning, were disenwei
on Saturday morning in bed, at their lodgings it
Houndsditch.

The evidence of the Prosecutrix against thecpper.
sons was nearly the same at that adduced aping ti;s4
companion. S!re stated, that on her return bean
from the City-road through Bishopagate.strret,
arriving near Angel-alley, the two Prisoners and sn.
other rushed from a public house, and opened upnl
her a volley of abuse and threat. The Prosecutni
demanded the cause of their inhuman attack upon
defenceless female? This, however, instead of Op,
peasing, served to increase their violence, and hat'„;
by way of signal, made use of the excbmstio,
" Nose," they proceeded from •gross !anon" to
blows, which was not alone inflicted with their
" clenched hands," but 'with sticks. One of thy,
was so inhumanly wielded upon -her teed and body,
that she was soon brought neatly lifeless to its
ground, while the blood cashed in torrents downlai
person. The exhibition of the unfortunate wecn
head and clothes was truly shocking. nor does it,.
pear that she can soon recover the'effects of this le.
cage outrage. The Prisoners, In their defence, d.
mitted that they were present, but denied, in tit
most positive terms, having struck her a blow;
the contrary, they were the first to recommend hef
to the assistance of a physician, and aided in hokli
a bacon to receive the blood which flowed from
while her head was dressing.
The Lono M Avon reminded the parties, that ad.
inkling the truth of their asseveration, yet inscood
as they did not prevent the :spotlit, they weresll4
and abetting, and equally guilty in this iespAct.Th
Prosecutrix, however, swore as to the;r having,
blows as well as threats, and they were both fdly
committed for trial.
