cut by his falling against the stove But in the

"AssIsTINe THE PoLIcE."-About Z O'Clock
last night, a fellow named Rich'd Brown knocked
a colored girl down in the hall of an avenue
hotel, where she had run for protection from hi m
Her screams attracted large crowd of persons,
and Justice Daniel Smith promptly interfered
to arrest the assailant. Brown resisted the at
tempt at arrest, whereupon the magistrate called
upoa all good citizens to aid him. but, instead of
so doing, the spectators drew away, widening
the ring, either too cowardly to endanger their
own lives, or else disposed to witness a light be-
tween the magistrate and his prisoner. These
miserable specimens OF humanity are lust the
men to keep up an eternal grumbling because the
laws are not enforced. The prisoner was Sc
cured, however, and walked Off to the guard
house, but not one OF the cowardly dozen or two
OF spectators dared testify to the facts of the
sault, and he was discharged for want of evil
dence. The colored girl says that Brown adj
dressed her at the corner of Sixth street and the
avenue, and, grasping her roughly by the arm,
insisted upon her accompanying him home that
she feigned assent to induce him TO loose his
hold, and that on getting free she ran into the
hotel to avoid him, and he following, knocked
her down, as above stated.
