26. Middlesex Sessions. — Hicks^s 

 Hall. — The sessions commenced 

 on Monday, before Mr. Mainwar- 

 ing and the bench of justices. 



Charles Chisholm, Esq. a Bond- 

 street lounger of universal notoriety, 

 stood indicted for assaulting a Mr. 

 Blacklin, on Sunday evening, the 

 7th of May last, at the prosecutor's 

 house, in Blenheim-street, Oxford- 

 street. It happened from the evi- 

 dence, that the prosecutor lived 

 with his sisters, who are reputable 

 milliners, in Blenheim-street, and 

 thedefendant a young man of seem- 

 ing fashion, lodged at the Blen- 

 heim hotel, immediately opposite. 

 Thedefendant was observed to have 

 acted at various times with the most 

 reprehensible impropriety and in- 

 decency, both in his room, which 

 looked towards the prosecutor's 

 house, and in the street, opposite 



the house ; more particularly on the 

 evening of the day stated in the in- 

 dictment, when he was observed by 

 the prosecutor to walk backwards 

 and forwards several times in front 

 of the house, casting his eyes to- 

 wards the drawing room, where the 

 Miss Blacklins then were, with some 

 of their female acquaintance. The 

 prosecutor observing this conduct, 

 called out, and desired him to go 

 about his business, or get home to 

 his garret ; upon which the defend- 

 ant crossed the way, and desired to 

 know if Mr. Blacklin had addressed 

 himself to him. Mr. Blacklin an- 

 swered in the affirmative. Upon 

 which the defendant vaulted over 

 the railings, got partly in at the par- 

 lour window, struck the prosecutor 

 repeatedly, and called him coivard, 

 rascal, pettifogger, and liar. He 

 was at length forced back from the 

 window ; but continued by his cla- 

 mour to raise a mob round the door, 

 and threatening all manner of ven- 

 geance against the prosecutor, if 

 he dared to come out. 



A gentleman named White, who 

 had dined with the prosecutor, his 

 sister, and Miss White, sustained 

 the former evidence, and stated, 

 that the conduct of the defendant 

 wasat all times extremely indelicate 

 and insolent. 



No evidence was offered on the 

 part of the defendant, and the jury 

 instantly found him Guilty ; and he 

 was sentenced to txvo months impri- 

 sonment in the House of Correction. 



The defendant, a smart young 

 man about 25, fashionably attired, 

 went through his ordeal with an 

 easy confidence, until the passing 

 of his sentence, which seenoed a 

 good deal to affect him.
