Municipal Conrt--April IA.

John McGlinchy, James Hannegan, Joseph
Riley and Albert S. Moore were brought up,
charged with assault and battery on Richard
w. Hargrave, a sergeant in the 18th u S. In
fantry, on Friday last The complainant tes-
titled that as he was approaching the Post OF
fee and when at Franklin st. he was met by
the defendants who used some opprobrious ep-
ithets which complainant thought were aimed
at him, and which he resented. He was then
attacked by McGlinchy. He then drew bis
revolver, and McGlinchy lodged behind the
Others. A crowd of children being on the
same side of the street he put up his pistol
and walked on. Defendants followed him and
made concerted attack upon him, taking
from him his pistol. He received two or three
cuts on the head, either from brass knuckles
or boot heels. The testimony of the defend
ants contradicted that of the complainant
They allege that Hargrave was not struck un-
til he had drawn revolver and pointed it at
the crowd, and then McGiinchy struck him.
Subsequently there was fight between Har-
grave and Hannegan, commenced by the for
mer striking the latter, which resulted in Har-
graves being thrown, when the contest ended
No other witnesses were called by defendants.
Messrs Evans & Putnam, and Anderson &
Webb appeared for the defendants, and NJ. NJ.
Butler, Esq, for the prosecution.
In reviewing the evidence Judge Kingsbury
remarked that, though portions of it were
very contradictory, it was evident an ARRAY
had occurred in one Of our public streets. He
had no doubt sergeant Hargrave was to blame
for taking ofense at a passing remark, and re-
senting 1t in the manner in which he did Still
more were the young men before him to be CEN
sured for their conduct toward one who bore
the uniform of his country. In these times a
soldier should be respected, and much should
be put up with from him. He ordered the
defendants to pay fine of $40. and one quar-
ter costs each, and also to severally recognize.
with sureties, in the sum of $50 each, TO keen
the peace for six months.
Michael Flaherty was brought up charged
with an assault on Margaret Finity. The
complainant not being able TO appear, on ac-
count of illness, the examination in the case
was postponed, the defendant recognizing for
his appearance. j. O'Donnell for the COM
plainant. J. ii. Williams for defendant.
