PoLIcE CAsEs yEsrERpAY-John Quigley was
brought before Esq. Harris, charged with as.
sault, in that he pounded a man and ungal-
lantly strangled q woman, ON Main Street, near
the old house at home. The evidence tended
to show that the beaten fellow assaulted John
6rst, and that the lady, coming to his rescue,
pelted John with rocks. The woman stated,
in her testimony, that she threw stones at him,
but Afterward denied that she said so. John
was accordingly acquitted of the charge Of as
sault upon the man, but vas fined Eve dollars
and costs for his impolite resentment Of the
ladys attack.
Henri Schwager was fined Eve dollars and
costs, by Esq, Harris, for tapping a fellow
laborer seven times in the mouth. If We could
judge from the appearance OF the complainant,
Harris 6ne was quite small enough; for the
vanquished party appeared to have received ill
treatment;
No Ethiopian, bond or free,
Had half so fiat q nose as he,
Or half SO thick lip"
In fact, one of Harris friends remarked that
when he saw the blows he twas so mad as
got pei ache. for more two hours"
Before Esq, Wai6ridge. Peter J. Sallentine,
was brought up, in highly excited state, charg-
ed with assault, and with destruction Of proper.
". in that he cut up a whole carriage, with

operation being rather conflicting the respon.
dent was discharged, but was Immediately tried
on the charge Of assault, and fined ten dollars
and costs.
The next case under consideration was that
of Philip Angel, who was charged with assault,
ard with resisting an officer. He was held to
bail to appear this morning.
The same individual was fined four dollars,
for contempt of Court Not paying he was CON.
