THE OTHER SIDE.-A friend Of Mr.. Pollock,
who, according to police report published in
Yesterdays Star, was recently held 10 bail in $500
by Justice Dom for assault, &c, has furnished
with the following correction Of some of the
statements OF our report, which, by the by, was
published just as written out by the magistrate.
We cheeTfuly add our testimony TO that of the
writer Ofthe Correction, +" that Mr.. p to whom,
We know well, such an affair is entirely novel,
90 regards the difficulty into connection with
which his name has been brought, with no ordi-
nary and indifferent expression Of regret"
CoRREcrIos In the report in the Star OF yes
terday, OF street affray, we satisfied that an
injustice was done to Mr. Pollock, in the omis-
sion Of some material circumstances attending
the case. IL Is reported to US on testimony which
we do not think " proper to disregard, that the
man Eggleston rendered a very gross insult on
the street to NIL p, who was d stranger to him,
and that his friends, TO the number Of six or sew
en-, afterwards assaulted Mr.. p. with pistols IL
is not clear that the only shots fred were by the
Auxiliary Guard, as Mr.. p. was surrounded al
most entirely, at one time, by the friends Of Eg-
gleston. We are satisfied that Mr.. p. is a gen
tleTnan who regards the difficulty into oonnec-
uon with which his name has been brought with
no ordinary and Indifferent expression OF regret
