"Assault upon Wm. Brougham, Esq., M.P. - Yesterday Charles Matthew Springsguth, a compositor, and Thomas Henman, were brought before Mr. Halls, charged with having been concerned in a violent assault upon W. Brougham, Esq., the Member for Southwark.
Mr. Brougham stated that he was going home from the House of Commons between twelve and one o'clock, on Wednesday night, and was passing through Princes-street, Drury-lane, when he suddenly received a violent blow upon his breast from one of the three men whom he had previously observed walking on before him, and whom he was in the act of passing at the time he received the blow. Conceiving at once that their object was to plunder him, he raised his umbrella to defend himself, and struck the man whom he supposed to be the assailant. One of them immediately ran away, and witness called out for the police, and some officers came, and the defendant Springsguth attempted to give him (Mr. Brougham) in charge for striking him with his umbrella. The officers, however, on hearing both sides, conveyed the defendants to the watch-house; where witness made his charge: but should not have pressed it, as he had received no material injury, had not the defendant Springsguth attempted to show that he (Mr. B.) was he aggressor, alledging that he had received a violent blow from witness, inflicted with his umbrella.
The defendant, Springsguth, in defence, said that he and the third man, not in custody, were leading Henman, who was very drunk, to his home, and in Princes-street, he (Springsguth), received a blow to his arm, from the complainant's umbrella, without having the least knowledge that any previous assault had been committed upon Mr. Brougham, and, he therefore, until an explanation took place thought the Hon. Gentleman was himself the aggressor.
Henman admitted that he was very drunk, and had but little recollection of that matter.
Mr. Halls asked M. Brougham if he intended to press the charge?
Mr. Brougham said he had not the slightest wish to do so, and would leave the case in the hands of the Magistrate.
Mr. Halls said the absent man seemed to have been the principal aggressor, and fined Henman 5s. for being drunk, and discharged Springsguth."

Letter to the Editor of the Morning Advertiser
"Sir. - Seeing your paper this day, under the head Police Report, a statement contrary to facts, relative to the alledged assault upon Mr. William Brougham, M.P., I feel myself bound, in justice to my character, to request your contradiction of the same. Your Reporter asserts that Mr. Brougham considered the object of the assault to have been plunder - words never uttered by him, but which are calculated to do me serious injury: and, towards the close of the report that Mr. Halls considered the absent man the aggressor. Mr. Hills never said anything of the kind, nor could he, as the absent man your Reporter invented was present on my behalf, and testified to the truth of my never having raised a hand against the honourable Gentleman. I must further observe, that neither the Times nor Herald state anything of the above nature. After the case was disposed of by the Magistrates, Mr. Brougham personally expressed to me his regret that I had been detained all night, satisfied that there was no evil intention on my part, and no-one else was charged with the assault.
Relying on your well-know impartiality for the insertion of this.
I am, Sir, with respect, your obliged,
C. M. Springsguth
Sept. 23, 1831."
