IMPORTANT TRIAL OF A FIREMAN.

GENERAL. SESSIONS, Feb. I1.-As this day set
down for the trial of Luke Usher and John Lghtbody,
for an alleged assault upon Alderman Purdy, the
room was at early hour crowded TO excess. Every
fireman who could spare the time to attend was pre-
seH and since the trial of Jackson for the murder OF
Schultz, none, has excited much interest The
known talents of the counsel engaged for the occasion
operated as another for the great
sembled. Several trivial having been disposed
of and Judges Irving and Ushoeer having taken their
seais Luke Usher Jun, and John Lig hjody, put
upon their trial for assault and battery upon Alderman
Purdy while bearing. about him the insignia of his
office.
On the part of AID Purdy, it stated that the
LIST of January he proceeding up the Bowery

had been alarm Of fire. proceeding from the chimney
of house in Duane street, near Chatham, he had been

told them that there use in going further, as the

answered bysse one at the head OF The drag rope
with frcmans cap on, who said DIN your eyes,
get out of the way, we will run you down.. He
got out of the way and followed the engine until ii
stopped. He then asked the name OF the young man
who had cursed him. This was refused by the young
man. who added, that he had nsued the Fire De
partrsent.'' crowd Immediately gathered around,
and he was pushed aad struck by the yonng man. and
knocked down. Thus far the above statement has
hitherto been published the testimony as addpced on
the trial is as follows.
Before, however, the jury impanneled, Mr.:
Maxwell for the defence, moved that separate trial
be granted to each of his clients, one might be OF
infinite service TO the o,her far as his testimony
might go, exculpate him. The court however, over
ruled the motion, on the ground that the Supreme
Court had decid ed that when two more persons are
named in one Indictment, they must be tried together
Mr. Maxwell likewise demanded the privilege of chai-
