fifters, and a Mrs. Meale. As fhe 
was pafling the rails of the houfe, 
fhe received a violent blow on her 
hip, and, turning round, faw the 
prifoner ftoop down; fhe knew it 
was him, having feen his perfon be- 
fore, and having been previoufly 
4nfulted by him with language too 
fhocking to repeat. Thefe previous 
infults fhe had received from him in 
the day-time three or four times, 
and therefore fhe took particular 
notice of him. After having aflault- 
éd her, he came by the rails of the 
door, ftood clofe to her, and. ftared 
‘her full in the face. Her upper 
and under garment were cut, and 
fhe was terribly wounded by fome 
extremely fharp inftrument. She faw 
the prifoner afterwards in St. James’s 
Park, on the 13th of June, when 
fhe pointed him out to Mr. Cole- 
man. She was then defired to look 
at the prifoner at the bar, which the 
did, and pofitively deciared he was 
the man who had aflaulted her; fhe 
had fuffered fo much from him, that 
fhe could not be miftaken in his 
perfon, which had left a ttrong im- 
preffion on her mind. 
Mifs Sarah Porter was then call- 
ed, and defired to look at the pri- 
foner. She faid, fhe had feen him 
previous to the 18th of January, he 
having followed clofe behind her 
while the was walking, and, leanin 
his head towards her fhoulder, ut- 
tered the moft horrid language. 
She faw him in St. James’s-ftreet 
‘about a quarter paft eleven o’clock, 
while’ in company with her filter 
Ana; he was ftanding with his 
back towards them as they pafled, 
but fome chairmen coming by, faid, 
# By your leave, ladies ;”? upon 
hearing which the prifoner inftantly 
turned round, and, perceiving the 
witnefs, exclaimed, * Oh! oh!” 
and gave her a violent blow on the 
back of her head. The witnefs then 
defired her fitter to run away, fay- 
ing, “ Don’t you fee the wretch is 
‘behind us?” the name by, which 
they had diftinguifhed him. This 
witnefs confirmed the teltimony of 
her fifter as to the affault in quef- 
tion, and {wore pofitively to the 
identity of the prifoner’s perfon, 
from her having frequently been 
followed and infulted by him. 
Miuffes Rebecca and Martha Porter 
alfo confirmed the evidence of their 
fifter, the profecutrix, and. proved 
the identity of the prifoner, they 
having both feen him feveral times 
before the queen’s birth-day, and 
come in for a fhare of his obfcene 
language. 
Mr. John Coleman was then ex- 
amined. He faid, that being in 
company with the Mifs Porters, in 
St. James’s Park, on the 13th of 
June laft, and being told that the 
man who had affaulted the profe- 
cutrix had juft pafled them, he im- 
mediately followed the prifoner, 
who, fufpeéting he was followed, 
waiked on very fait. He purfued 
him through diferent ftreets, look- 
ing full in. his face, and doing every 
thing to affront him, in order that 
he might provoke him to an alter- 
cation; but the prifoner would not 
take any aifront, bearing patiently 
every infult’ offered. The witnefs 
felt himfelf in fome agitation, and 
was ata lofs to know what means 
he fhould adopt, as he did not thine ' 
it prudent to charge him direétly 
with being the Mon/fler. He was, 
however, determined to purfue him; 
and upon the prifoner’s at lat oo- 
ing into the houfe of a Mr. Smith 
(after knocking at. two or three 
doors), hé followed him, and alked 
Mr. Smith in the prefence of the 
prioner,
