SEVERE AssArLT-EscLPE 0P THE PEEPErRA-
ToR-HE IL FIRED AT BY THE PoLICE.-On Sa-
turday evening last William Peasley, of Old
Market fame, made Il fierce assault upon
Robert Dudley closing up one of his eyes
and otherwise iniuring him, and drawing Il
pistol, as If 10 shoot. The parties are com
betting 1shmongcrs and the difficulty doubt
less grew out Of some transactions in fsh,
oysters or game. Peasley was arrested and
taken To the First Station house, but was
subsequently, bailed in the sum OF three hun
dred dollars, by Justice Chandler, TO appear at
Court The ink was scarcely dry upon the
bond before Dudley made his appearance at
the station and said that Peasley had renewed
the assault.
Upon this information n fresh warrant was
gotten out, and yesterday morning Captain
Adams and Sergeant Monroe, of the police.
started in pursuit On reaching the door or
Peaseys restaurant, on Seventeenth street.
they knocked and demanded admittance, when
Peasley told them 10 come round the back way.
While they We're doing this, the object ot their
search made his escape through the rear door,
mounted q horse III waiting, and rode oil down
the alley Sergeant Monroe, not having seen
this movement, came back 10 the 'front.' OF the
house again knocked, and told them II they
did not let him in he would burst open the
door Just at this moment he saw Peasley
coming up the street on horseback, and rs he
came opposite the officer he dared him 10 shoot.
Sergeant Moaroe attempted TO intercept his
progress, but failed, and Peaslev dashed on
When he had got about forty yards distant,
the Sergeant drew his revolver and fired three
shots, intending TO wound and stop the horse.
Whether the shots took effect or not Is un-
known; at all events, Peasley made his escape,
and the last seen OF him he was waving his
hat in the dis tance and shouting, " Come on /,
boys" Peasley Is reported TO have boasted
that the whole police force could not take
him but If he again makes his appearance
within the corporate limits he will probably
find ont that ne has made slight mistake In
his calculations.
