AGGRAVATED ASSAULT BY AN OXONIAN.—Edwin Griffin, a remarkably powerful young man, fashionably attired, was indicted for assaulting William Wren, the waiter at the King's Arms Tavern, Snow-hill.—Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution.—The complainant stated that the defendant had been staying at the King's Arms for several weeks past, and was in the habit of inviting numerous friends to dinner parties. On the 23d of November, six of his quandum friends dined with him and as soon as the table cloth was removed the defendant and his friends commenced, as was their usual practice, their "after-dinner" jokes, and swore at him for not bringing the porter, and, mistaking the gentleman's orders, he brought up a stalwart messenger, instead of something to drink. The defendant hereupon seized the complainant by the collar, called him a " d—d flunkey," and kicked him violently behind, which sent him "flying down stairs." (Laughter.) He then went home, having sustained a severe injury of the spine, and was confined to his bed for two or three days, and was unable to move.—In answer to the court, he said he had not called in the assistance of a surgeon.—The defendant said the complainant was very impertinent to him on the night in question, and he therefore took him by the collar and pushed him out of the room.—Mr. John Renshaw Brasse, of New Inn Hall, Oxford, and Mr. James Witcher, a young gentleman living at Petersfield, Hampshire, two friends of the defendant, were examined, and stated that the insolence of the waiter was so intolerable that the defendant turned him out of the room, but never lifted his foot from the ground.—Mr. Holloway, the landlord of the King's Arms, proved that he was in the constant habit of receiving complaints from his customers of his waiter's insolence. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the defendant was fined £10, and ordered to enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace for twelve months in £20.
