Sunday week, respectable lady in the neighbor-
hood sent words ofthanks TO Mr.. Savage.
Col Thompson Was not the language cacu-
lated TO excite Mr. Hunter?
M. Harrington. / suppose all men have ex-

or indirectly, or by inuendo, that Madame Hunter
keeps disreputable house!
Mr.. Heryngton He inferred from the adver-
tsement that the charms of woman were added
10 those fwinc.
Another witness having testified TO the throwing
of the eggs
Col, Thompson said they expected TO show that
such meetings were nuisance at the common
law, which every man had right to abate; and
that every time Mr. Savage thus occupies the
public streets, he is guilty of a nuisance.
Mr. HerrtngtO,, joined issue with the learned
gentleman insisting that nuisance can be abated
in no other way than by legal process.
Mr.. CaryiR gton then came forward, saying that
he had been employed as assistant counsel for the
defence, and insisting that Mr.. Savage had perpe-
trated gross outrage; and that MIR. Hunters
proper respect for himself led him to resent it in
the manner he did. He argued that what took
place on the Sunday previous should be stated in
evidence. to show that Mr.. Hunter had proper
ground for an assault.
Mr.. Harrington again joined issue, and said, in
the course of his remarks, if Mr.. Savage had pro-
claimed that keep paint shop, should have
been glad of il.
Mr.. Cayyiugton accused Mr.. Harrington of wan
dering from the point.
Finally, after little sharpshooing the justice
decided that the evidence must be confined TO
what took place on the Sunday the assault was
committed.
Mr.. Anom DnraH, and another gentleman, tes-
tilted to the throwing of the eggs. The first named
was askedwhat kind of an egg he supposed il

The Justice said that all nuisances must be abated
by law.
The prosecution being closed. witnesses were
called for the defence when
Nh. John II. Dement, testified that the proceed
ings of last Sunday were not so bad as those of
the Sunday before Savage addressing the
crowd. Bill Williams was there, and moved of
and went in front of Hunters door. The crowd fol-
lowed Williams. Savage asked what crowd that
was. Some said Williams. Savage then re-
marked, "its Madame Hunters crowd" Madame

gentlemen in anything. Eggs thrown. |
stepped back to get out of the way was afraid
they would strike me. [Laughter Savage got
on the stand again, when Hunter said if Savage
made use of his wifes name again he would stop
him. Savage's language was obscene, Sunday
before last. ! think Savage said he intended to
persevere until he should break up the house.
Mr.. Hora1 testified that he heard Mr.. Savage
mention Madame Hunters name, and say "Hun-
ter's boys" and he would try TO put down the Al
hambra. Mr.. Hunter told Savage to go on with
his temperance speech, but not 10 mention the
name of any member of his family.
Several other witnesses testified that they were
acquainted with Mr. Hunter, and had repeatedly
been in his house, but had never seen anything
out of the way there, and that Mr.. Hunter is a
correct man.
The proceedings occupied more than two hours,
hasty sketch of which is above presented.
The counsel will meet the justice this after
noon at one O'Clock, for the purpose of argument
There are three several cases against many
individuals, for creating a disturbance near the
Ahambra Saloon last Sunday--frends of Mr..
Hunter. The evidence commenced, but not
concluded last night. When il was proposed to
try them all together, one ofthe accused excaim-
ed, "No, no; was once tried in that way, and
found guilty. | want separate trial" The earn
est manner of the individual, as well as his argu-
ment, created excessive laughter among the au-
dtors.
