The ' Court of QuarteziSission* met at the
- usual hour Wednesday morning, when the •
Cases of the CommOnwealth vs. Geo. Raubb
and Peter Kellar, indicted for, aggravated
assault and battery upon Mrs. Dr. bake,
were resumed.
-Several witnesses were called by the a-
fense to prove the reputation of the locality
in which Mrs. D. was found by officer
Raubb, and also to establiSh the good char
acter of the defendant Kellar. The evi
dence then closed.
It P. Mueller, Esq., addressed foll o wed
in behalf of the defense, and was
by John A. Wilson, Esq., for the Common
wealth.
Judge Sterrett charged the jury with his
,usual entire fairnesa and impartiality., Re.
'viewingthe fltrizlexiee, he islidtheluty Were
"to find, firer, whether the arrest was lawful
—whether there was anything in Mrs.
Mike's conduct to cane the officer to be
lieve She was a " , street walker," thuS jus.
tifying her arrest under the city ordinance
authorizing-the apprehension of such char=
aoteis." - Seclitid, assuming the arrest was
lawful, (which his Honor did not,) was
there such an-'excess of authority and vio
lence as 16 jtiatify the conviction of the de- -
fendanta h,f Assault and battery. Then, if
the jury 040.tild.lInd the defendants guilty
of assault and - battery under both or either
of these propositions, theY were next to in
quire-whether, from the treatment of Mrs.
Dakeat the hands of defendants, she had
suffered grievous bodily harm. If so, the
defendants were guilty, as.charged, of ag
gravated assault and baiteitY:' 'His Honor
reviewed the evidence briefly. Mrs:Dake,
with her colored servant; went -from - her
residence in Penn street to Strawberry al
ley, between eight and nine o'iqock in the
evening, for a purpose stated by her. In'
Strawberry alley she encountered defen
dants, who followed' her from thence, on
her return; tti'Stiventh street, without, how
ever, accosting or speaking to her. Their
movements, however, were such as to ex
cite her apprehensions, and Ea, entered a
grocery for protection, which she there re
- quested, giving her name and residence.
The defendants entBred the grocery• and
shesndeayored to avoid them, passing be- -
hindthe 'counter and; , coming through an•. opening near the door where she was seized.
She ' again gave 'her name and residence,
(as she had previously, in the presence
or hearing of defendants,) and told these
who held her that they were mistaken.
Was Mrs. D. informed'for what she was
I arrested? Did she know that Raubb or
Kellar were officer-4 ordid they so inform
her? If the jury could not say from the
evidence that either of these facts appeared,
the case of defendants was aggravated.
The conduct of the defendants then, was
certainly Such as to terrify a delicate and
refined lady such as Mrs. Dake appeared to
1 1 be, and her resistance was but natural.
Mr. Mueller interrupted His Honor to
suggest whether the fact that no violence
was required in arresting the colored boy
Taylor should not be considered in connec
tion with what transpired with Mrs. Dake,
or as indicating that the officers used no
more violence than was necessary in over
coming her resistance.
llis Honor replied that a colored boy was
one thing and a delicate, refined lady quite
a idifferent one. The jury, would con
sider what degree of humanity was
exercised :by the defendants—what de.
gree of force might have been necessary
under the circumstances, taking into cone
sideration the fact that two strong men
were dealing with a delicate woman. In
farther summing up , the case, His Honor
said that if the jury should find that the
defendents had acted without proper au
thority, their conduct was not only unlaw
ful but outrageous.
The Pall retired about noon, and after a
very short absence, returned with a verdict
of "guilty in manner and form as in
dicted."
TRIAL OP OFFICER WILLIAMS.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. John
L. Williams '
indicted for assault bat
tery,on Mrs. Dake, was next taken up.
The defendant, as stated in the report of
the precedes case, participated -to a certain
extent in' the arrest of Mra: DAS, assisting
in conducting her ,to the Mayor's office,
after she .had been brought some distance
by officer Ratibb and,lCeltar.,
Front ,the2.evidence adduced it appears,
Williams first-took hold of Mrs. Dake on
Smithfield street, opposite the site of the;
- new City Ball, at first 'seizing, her quite
roughly' by, the, arm atirshe wasstooping to
to speak. to some little giris,4lto were
upon thn.!radewalk. The crowd allmored
1 for the release of Mrs. D., and a ft er pro
ceeding to nearly the corner of Smithfield
and Fifth avenue, after being twice request-
led, Williams oidered Raubb to take the
, gyves from her wrist, and himself took
exclusive charge of her, expressing an in
tention to take bit fe . the t id*.Aipi(tombs,)
but, at the suggestion of a citizen,• Mr.
finch, he took her `directly to the Mayor's
pine°, whilst Kellar-.proceeded with the
tkolored boy to - the fombl. "Mrs. Mike sta
ted in ,her testimony that Williams", when,
he caught .hold of her, (in a very decided
manner& said, he "knew her well," that
shit .ixiust, go with:him, and that he was
higher in authority than officer Raubb.
Therelwas tonati,iiiscrepancifr in the test

Mayor BlaCkaiore was Called to ",contra

not stated at the Mayor's office, at the time
she was"brought there, that officer Wil;,
awn had "treated" her like a gentleman."
I ,
'lio Mayer testified that Mrs. D. stated Wil- "
Hams had so treated her, and roPeated the=
statement.

Me W.' edward;:- - ^elawd for the
prosecution. He contended it had been
clearly proved'Williams' acted vio
lently, brutally, when:be first;took hold of
Mrs Dake;and-that his _ milder action sub
sisquently'was the result of the clamor of_
the exerted crowd.for the release, of the
lady. The ease he regarded as a highly.
Important one, in wk.:ich every good citizen
had taken a lively interest. The attention
of the , public had before been called to the
brptal conduct of policemen to prisoners,
as well as unlawfully making arrests,
and it was time, 'indeed, that a stop should
be Tut to these ''outrages upon the person
and liberty of the citizen. He character
ized the arrest of Mrs. Dake, and her treat
ment by the defendant, in conjunction with
Raubb and ICellar, outrageous in an ex
treme degree, calling for the severest pun
ishment known to the law. A weak, deli
cate woman, of less than a hundred pounds
in weight, had been dragged through
the public streets by strong and
stalwart men in the garb of officers, and for
what? No single act of hers had indicated
her to be the vile thing the officers would
have her to be. The crowd which gathered
on the street, through which site was drag
ged with gyves upon her wrist, recognizing
in her conuuct that of a lady, called out for
her release, until-for' very itiame, add over
awed, the man Williams ordered theropes
to be taken from her I wrist. ' Repeatedly
she had given her name and residence, as
she did when first rudely addressed by
Raubb and Kellar, who sneeringly said
" , Oh! we know you." "f We know all about
you," 'and otherwise expressing themselves
as if she was, one of the lewd class. "Your
mistaken, sir, I am Mrs. Dake, of 310 Penn
street," she repeated, and struggled to free
herself from..the grasp of Raubb, .whilst
Kellar called to his fellow-brute "linci•ck
the d— down!"
Mr. Woodward made quite a forcible
speech, covering the whole grhund, and in
conclusion remarked to the Court he took
the around that Williams was particepa
crimmts in the whole tratiarietion.
Judge Sterrett thought this rather broad.
There was, however, a very Important t ques
tion in the case which had not been advert-I
ed to by counsel on either.side; As far as
the case stood before the jury there Was no
authority shown for the arrest of Mrs.
Dakk and so far as the deldenee went it
appeared to be' - a great outrage. So, as
suming that the arrest was.unlawfal, is the
defendant liable for answering the call to
assist a another officer without inquiring
whether the arrest was authorized or not.
This, His Honor thought, was about the
whole question in the ease. It was an im
portant one, and ho had some doubt about it,
Gen. Collier said he had not examined
the question. ' •
Judge Sterrett eat:messed a desire to have
the case in some shape by which the point
might be raised.
Gen. Collier said he had argued to the
jury upon the other point in the case, viz:
whether the defendant used unnecessary
violence or force in the assistance he had
rendered officer Raubb.
Judge Sterrett asked the jury to state in
their verdict upon which point. they based
it. Ist. Whether the defendant usednnnec
.essary force and violence. 2d. Whether,
when called to assist in the arrest, defend.
ant assisted - without making inquiry
if the arrest was upon a warrant or
otherwise lawful, and conveyed Mrs. Dake
against her will to the Mayor's office, or
whether she consented (according to the
testimony of one witness,) to go with
defendant to the Mayor's office, and that
defendant took her- there, using no more
force than was necessary.
The second proposition his Honor re
peated he considered of great importance,
as it involved on the one hand the public
safety, and on the other the efficiency of
the police.
The iury had not agreed upon a verdict a
adjournment.

David Matthews and William Thompson,

side of the river, yesterday for the purpose,
it'appears, of doing business after their
own fashion, and decided to go ipto the

House auction rooms, and. While eaamin
fng the stock each appropriated a pair of
shoes and secreted them. The clerk who
was waiting on them observed the move
ment and kept his eye upon them, having
in the meantime sent for an officer. Officer-
Herron responded to the call, • and just as•
he arrived at the door of the establishment
MattheWs passed out with a pair of shoes in
his hand. ~He was pointed out' tn the offi
cer by the clerk, arregted and taken to the
lock-up. On his way 'thither he s‘peeched"
on Thompson, and•the officer returned and
arrested him, but not until after he had
disposed of his shoes, - which were found
after his arrest lying on some carpet in the
back part of the room.. Information was
made before the Mayor .charging, thein
both with larceny, and. they *are locked up
for a hearing.

last meeting of the Board of Directors,
held a few evenings since, he presented his
resignation, which under the circumstances
could not but be accepted. Mr. Cook
Made many friends wane in the positioa,
and retires with the good wishes of all with

been connected with the association for
about a year as Assistant Superintendent,
is thoroughly familiar with the work and

When the PLANTATIOir BITTERS were
first made known to the American people
some seven years ago, it was supposed they
were an entirely new thing, and had never
before been used. So far as their general
use in tho United States is concerned, this
may be true. It is also true that the same
Bitters wore made and sold in the Island
of St. Thomas, over forWlears ago; as any
old planter, merchant or sea captain doing
btOiness in the West indica will,-`tell you.
Tt is distinctly within my reoolleotion that
on the return of my father (who was a
sea captain. and doing .an ostensive trade
in the tropics,) he would_ invariably have
the Bitters among theithipl stores, and our I
family sideboard was never without them.
For any sickness, it matters not how severe
or trifling, the decanter of tht , se Bitters; by
a different name, was always,resorted to as
it 'sovereign remedy. ' TELS.T:F.
