 Among the trials which took place in New York last week we find the following recOr- ded in the Courier and Enquirer :-'' Peter P. Good. the principal of school ut the cor. ner Of Green and Houston streets. was tried and convicted of an assault and battery com

 mitted On the eighth of May last on Jane ". Lawrence, one of his pupils. From the eyI' dence given on the trial tt appeared, that he had been in the practice cf detainiag young woman, also one of his pupils. in the school room after the schO0i was dismissed. which

 was disapproved by the mother. The young { woman in question. being directed by ihe 1 mother to convey tO Mir. Good her pOsItisN l iniuuciions that the daughter seOnld not be SD driained, felt deiicacy ahnat personally

 communicating her mothers directions. and therefore entreated Miss Lawrence to dol ln

 her behalf Miss Lawrence, who is upwards

 of sixteen wears of age. availed herself of fa-

 yOrable opportunity when the school was dis'

 missed to inform Mr. Good, upon which he

 rudsly seized hold of her, d:ew her intO u back room, threw her fOrcibly into chair. and

 there violently struck her several severe blows with rattan, " hich left its impression in c"n' siderable ridges upon various parts Of her per- son. After this he locked her into the room, from which she escaped by means ofa win

 dow, and then getting over the adjoining fence

 proceeded home to her parents. The case

 excited considerable resentment against Mr. .Good, in those who heard the evidence. and

 the jury found him guilty without leaving

 their seats."
