 BRUTAL OUTRAGES.

William Jones, Thomas York, John Morre and John Pearson four athletic ruffians employed on the railway near Mountsorrel were charged with assaulting John Antill and his wife and two girls named Mary and Elizabeth Warner on Monday evening. Complainants stated that were proceeding from Mountsorrel to Quorndon when they met the defendants, who assaulted the women in a shameful and indecent manner. Antill then sought the assistance of the constable of Mountsorrel and they proceeded to the Travellers’ Guide, (a public house at Mountsorrel) where they found the defendants and about a dozen of their companions, who used such dreadful language and made such a violent resistance that they were compelled to get other assistance before succeeding in capturing the defendants. The Magistrates (remarking on the necessity there was to protect the peaceful inhabitants of the villages from the brutal attack of ruffianly strangers) very properly fined Pearson £1 or two months’ imprisonment, and the others 10s each and expenses, reminding the constables that they were also at liberty to proceed against them if they pleased.
