| D1soRDERLY PRocEEDINGs.-A couple of white men,
answering to the names of Lttebury Rock and Charles
Grace appeared before the Mayor Yesterday upon the
charge OF threatening assault and damaging the house
OF Julia Ann Collins white woman, residing near
Seabrooks' Warehouse. Mrs. Collins deposed shat on
nday night whilst her sister and herself were making
preparations to retire to rest she heard knock
at the front door Of the house. Upon demanding the
name OF the person knocking she received answer.
Like woman OF spirit, as she PROFESSIONALLY is
Mrs Collins seized heavy bludgeon in her right hand,
whilst with the lett she opened wide the door. She
says she saw Mr.. Grace endeavouring to make most
grdceless retreat, that gentleman being according to
her belief sadly the for liquor Near the door,
however, immoveabe as rock. stood Littlebury Rock
He gave Mrs C. to understand as she asserted that
he would 'cu he throat if she dared to strike him.
Being woman, and therefore liable to fear she closed
the door, whereupon Mr. Rock licked one of the PAN
neis out, and left.
The Mayor d ismissed the warrant as to Grace, but
held Rock to bai in the sum of $500 for good beha-
viour.

only one, as far know--he has an nordinate, an
uncomfortable desire to "hear himself TALK" and talk

uttered by the deputy constable the lowering frown
of his Honour. This man of words, it appears was
foolish enough to imagine that there people in the
Court Room who shared with him the desire of his
