Of a trial in one of the courts there of an
action for assault and battery. in which
Samuel w. Dewey was plaintiff, VS. Jo-

one of the witnesses stated that Dewey
who If seems is Captain, informed him
on the evening Of the assault. that he
dewey cut OF the figure head Of the
Frigate Constitution. But for a turn
which the courts proceedings suddenly
took. the whole matter would have been
exposed. The Boston Sentinel adds
There is no doubt that Capt. Dewey
who is native Of Cape Cod, cut of the
figure head as stated. 1t is now in the
