OUrKA6soUs AssAULr.-The trial OF

OUrxAGsoUs AssAuLr.-The trial OF
James Murphy, who was arrested on com
plant made by Mary Hogan, 90 Monday,
took place yesterday before Judge Simons.
The evidence introduced was TO the eject
that Murphy had attempted to outrage the
person OF the complainant, and was direct
and positive that the assault was OF q most
aggravated character, and that the highest
limit Of punishment that Judge simons
could inHict would not be sufficient penalty
for the character Of the offence. A fine Of
500 was entered against the defendant.
An appeal Was taken TO the District Court,
Vim. +. Murray, Esq., being taken as his
security.
We have, on various occasions, protested
against the facility allowed to criminals 10
escape the punishment Of their crimes, when
inflicted by the City Justice, by an appeal
&c the District Court. The appeals are sell
dom, II ever, taken because Of injustice
being done by the City Justice, or by the
jury trying the case. From an examna.
ton Of Of the facts in this case Of assault, as
they were elected before the justice, we
think the penalty inflicted was richly de-
served and therefore, that the appeal was
only made in the hope Of getting entirely
clear Of the penalty, by having the case dis
missed for want Of prosecution before the
District Court.
We trust these numerous cases Of ap.
peal, will have beneficial effect upon the
public, and induce them TO urge upon the
next legislature change in the law which
allows an appeal from jury.

CASE OF JAMES BuRNs.--The same counsel
was heard upon motion for a new trial in the
case Of james Burns. Arguments on the other
side have not yet been presented. ..t
SUPERIOR COURT.
FARRADAY AND OTHERS vs.. THE CITY.-The
plaintiffs set forth that they were engaged in
running line of omnibuses to Vine Street
hill, having procured license from the proper
city authorities that the defendant neglected
to keep the street in repair and order, so as to
be fit for ordinary travel, and that by the con-
tinued and total disregard Of her duty in this
behalf, the road got into such condition, that
it could be travelled only by using the side
gutters-and in bad weather plaintiffs were
compelled to abandon part Of their route,
losing thereby portion Of the "gOod-wilP' on
this line ; that their horses were strained or
crippled, and many of them were killed
whereby they allege they were damaged to the
amount of $4,000.
The case was before Judge Spencer on a de-
murrer to the petition.
The City would be responsible for allowing
the streets to get out Of repair, when damage
occurred to party therefrom, if she had been
notified of the existence of the nuisance, and
had reasonable opportunity to remove it.
There were, however, two defects in the petit
tion which authorised the court to sustain the
demurrer; in the first place, by the omission Of
a specific avermsnt that the damage occurred
without any fault on the part of plaintiff; and
secondly, the difficulty with the averment was,
that lit did not aver the horses &c. were injured
while passing over this road. The injury should
be traced to the nuisance directly, and not re-
motely-for if the plaintiffs were obliged tC
travel another route, and the injury occurred
on this other route, this would not be a direct
consequence of the act of the city, and would
notlay the foundation for an action.
Demurrer sustained, and leave to amend pc.
titon.

morton FOR NEw TRIAL FOR VIM. SEITRR.-
Judge johnson made heightened argument to
the Court in support Of motion for new trial
in the case of VIM. Setter, found guilty of muir
der in the second degree.
He cOntended that the facts proved two
things. LIST. That there was no concerted plan
between Cook and Setter, to take the life Of
Kate Bureau and, I'd. That there was no pre-
vious grudge that should induce them to seek
her hfe--and the jury could not have supposed
there was, and have fallen short of returning
verdict of murder in the first degree.
He conten9ed, in the next place, that the
Court erred, in charging the jury, on the cues-
ton of self defense that it was for them to say
\ whether the party was in such peril as to au-
thorize him to exercise this right, and not fol
! him to rely, as matter Of defense, on his own
apprehension of danger. As Is the testimony
