(THIB DAY.)
BOW-STREET.
LONDON DZGOARS AND FOREIGN VISITOR&
Alfred Rowe*, a wall-known beggar (although • strong,
ablebodied man), was charged with annoying foreigners, and
with a violent assault on the police.
The case had been remanded, owing to the severe injuries
received by a constable of the E division, who now attended
with his head and wrist in bandages. It appeared that
about a week ago • Fentlemau called at the George-street
police station, at 1 o clock in the morning, and complained
to the inspector of the conduct of the prisoner in Holboro,
where he was stopping and obstructing any ladies or gen.
Boren who had the appearance of being fore4nen,
and following them moat offensively till be succeeded in
extracting some money from them. Upon this in-
formation Lambert, E 41, was despatched to Holborn,
where he saw the prisoner still begging and pursuing fo-
reigners. Witness took him into custody, and at firat the
prisoner showed no signs of resistance—merely asking the
officer to " drop the Waage," and then he would go quietly
away, and not repeat the offence. On getting into the
neighbourhood of George-street and Church-lane, where the
pnsoeer lived, and had associates of the lowest caste,
he struck and knocked down the constable. The latter was
promptly waisted by Connor, another officer of the E divi-
sion, who was mailed in the same manner, and who falling
heavily on the kerb stone received a mono= wound in the
forehead. The constable*, after being kicked and knocked
about considerably, succeeded in lodging their prisoner at
the station.

The surgeon who attended the constable proved that
Connor wu wholly incapacitated from duty, and would be
for some time, owing to the injuries sustained.
Previous convictions were established against the prisoner,
and it was stated that on one occasion, having been relieved
by a loaf of bread instead of money, at a baker's shop, be
deliberately threw the loaf at the head of the woman who
gave it to biol.

The prisoner, who pleaded "drunkenness" u his ex.
cUle, was fully committed far trial M the Clerkeowell
Sessioos.
