BOV. S=ET.-MOBBING THE BARON DE VIDIL.--John Crowther, a street hawker of prints,  .... .. pamphlets, &c., was charged with making a disturbance in 8.,w-street, on the previous afternoon (Monday), when the Baron de Vivil was being removed in a cab from this court to be conveyed to  Nev; gate, upon his committal for trial on the charge of attempting to murder his son. It appeared from the statement of Sergeant Haspinall, F 1, that the prisoner had been engaged, amongst the crowd assembled in front of the court, offering for sale copies of a print purporting to be a representation of the attack by the Baron on his son. Though he had done an excellent trade in the course of the afternoon, he still had a portion of his stock left when taken into custody, and these, though not directly connected with the charge, were produced in court as property found in his possession. The design was remarkable for its consistent inaccuracy in the main features and in all the details. The figures have evidently been drawn by some one who has never seen either the Baron or his son, though it must be admitted that the portrait of the former is not much more unlike him than any other person. This cannot be said of the counterfeit presentment of the young man, who moreover is represented with moustache and imperial, which he does not wear; and without whiskers, which he does wear. The youth is represented as tall, and of largo frame, whereas he is small and slight, and rho father is made much smaller, though in fact, without being a tall or big man, he has considerably the advantage of his son in height, muscular development, and apparent strength. The inaccuracy is kept up in matters of costume. The Baron, who, andfrtohme as the public are already informed, wore a while youth, who wore a black one, appears with a white hat, with onc. Bad as the original was, the prisoner deserves some credit for an artistic addition, having drawn koo ne indicatenw a hiss beingea t bloodpal ialcde , flowing a sin the fromthe eac bha 1 3iws wound. the young man's temple to his coat sleeve, and supposed being paint represented irregular streak a b lack descendingo: ; As to the charge itself, Haspinall stated that- as dvii,ffihiccualtNyvaisnfokreceeldrinopgenthbeym confusion was created by various persons pressing forward to see the baron, and ihe police had much thePh s baron at artpolice thebae back. mob, A butfter theee start, a rush was made at the vehicle, masuacbhoutt the door of closed it again, and after considerable delay the cab was got away. The prisoner was one of those who were seen rushing through the crowd in the direction of the cab before the door was opened. When desired by the police to stand back he refused, and they found it necessary to remove him in order to restore order. Mr. Corrie (to the prisoner)—Why, you are an old ffiend of mine.
