CAUTION TO DRUNKARDS.

A well-dressed man, named Lewis Evans, was brought
up by Police-officer 417 on a charge preferred by Mr.
Nuttall, of the Queen's Vaults, Lime-street. It appeared
that between two and three o'clock on Thursday,
the prisoner entered the vaults, in a state of intoxica-
tion, and demanded drink. He was refused, and ordered
out; but he refused to go and created a disturbance,
using the most abominable language to some females.
The officer was called, and he heard the man use very
filthy language. Mr. Raffles : Was he drunk ? He
was, sir. Mr. Raffles : Then I fine him 10s.-and costs,
for being drunk and disorderly and refusing to leave the
public-house when desired to do so.

ASSAULT ON SHIPBOARD.
Robin J. Poit, the second mate of the American ship
George Hulbert, was charged with having assaulted
Joseph Alwar, a Bohemian, who came in the ship as an
able sailor from New Orleans. The complainant's head
and face were very much swollen, and his eyes were
nearly closed up. He appeared quite stupid, and either
feigned or could not speak in any language, although
tried by several persons. It would seem that he was
beaten severely on the voyage, but from the stupid state
in which the man was, it could not be collected by whom
or at what time he was maltreated., However, at seven
in the morning of yesterday, the prisoner was given into
custody of Officer Ridge, 650, in the Stanley Dock, by
two men who saw him assault the complainant. When
the officer took him, he said, "You have no power here
over an American sailor." Two witnesses came forward
and stated that in the morning they saw the prisoner
kick the man furiously on the legs and side, and run
after him with a piece of iron; and then the man
jumped on to another ship, when the prisoner flung a
piece of wood at him and struck him on the arm with
it. A surgeon stated that he examined the injured
man and found several contusions on his bQdy—on
the two shoulder •blades, the arms, and loins, and his
head and face -were
.very much swollen, and the man
appeared to be quite stupid from injury. The prisoner
was remanded for the present.

CAUTION TO BOYS AND OTHERS DISCHARGING
FIREARMS IN THE STREET.

Isaac Sharman, a half black boy, was brought up on
remand, on a charge of having discharged a pistol in the
street and wounding :two boys, on the day of the pro-
cession. • The injured boys are in the hospital since
Thursday week, and one of them is in a dangerous state.
There was no additional evidence in the case. Mr.
Raffles said to Mr. Kehoe, he hoped the police would
take up all boys and others found discharging pistols or
other weapons in the street, or who might have such
for the purpose of discharging them, and he would
punish them. It was a most dangerous !practice, and
must be put a stop to for the preservation of the public.
Mr. Kehoe said there were orders given to the police to
that effect, and all such would be taken up, but persons
discharging arms in that way generally got into dark
places. The public were in danger, and persons dis-
charging such weapons were in danger themselves ; for,
in many instances, the articlei were cracked; and they
had plenty of cracked pistol--; in the office that had been
taken up by the police. The boy was let out on his
stepfather, entering into recognizances for his appear-
ance when called on.
