TSB POLICE COUBTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Gam Hoary imp of respectable
appearance, was brought before Mill oaths follow-
ing charge of assault.
Wm. Henry Hudson, of 31, Chancery-lane, an officer of
the Sheriff of Middlesex, stated, that yesterday mules he,
in mousy with an assistant, proceeded to Beale's-road,
Old Ford, for the purpose of arresting a man named
Bonn, a relation of the defendant's. When within a few
yards of the house, they perceived Bonn outside the garden
railings, but he, also, perceived them, and bad just secured
the gate when they seised him through the barrier, and
tenaciously held their prisoner. He could not get away,
and they could not get him over the spikes. A crowd col-
lected, complainant drew out his process, and called in vain
for assistance. At this juncture the defendant opened the
street-door, and desiring him to loose his hold, struck re-
peated blows with his fist, one of which fell beneath the left
eye, and nearly stunned him. Defendant, finding it Wipes-
'ibis to release his friend, then got a poker, which, how-
ever, was almost as soon wrested from him by the assi.tsnt.
Defendant, enraged, called for his aword,which was brought
to him by a female. He drew it from the scabbard, made
thrusts at the man who had disarmed him of the poker, and
then raising it above his head, swore he would cut of their
arms if they did not withdraw them from the railing% By
this and similar conduct Boura escaped, after which a con-
stable made his appearance, and the defendant was given
into custody.
Mr. Hussain said it wu far too serious a charge for him
to dispose of; he must, therefore, send it to the sessions, but
would admit the accused to bail.

CLERKEN WELL.
Henry Webster, a well-dressed man, with a Jewish cast,
of features, was charged with having in his possession three
gold watches and 19 boxes of cigars, without being able to '
give • satisfactory account of their possession.
The prisoner, who described Wm,lf as a watch manatee
turer, resides at 7, Albert-terrace, Camden-town, and the
solicitors' table was covered with the valuable property re-
moved from his premises.
The first witness exiled was Mr. Edwin Langford. He
said—l reside at 23, Broad Quay, Bristol. I am a
watchmaker. On the 21st of February last my house
was broken into, and 120 gold watches, 100 silver
watches, and 100 gold chains—in all of the value of 2,7001.
—taken away. From information, I came to town on
Saturday last; and, about 7 o'clock in the evening of the
same day, I galled on the prisoner at his residence, which
is a private house. I asked him if he had any watches for
sale, as I wished to purchase some. He took me into the
trout parlour, and produced • case of watches, amongst
which was the gold one I now produce. I positively swear
it w.ie part of the property I lost in the robbery. I recog-
nised; it at once by the peculiarity of the dial-
plate; but from the marks inside, I was more
positive. I asked him the price of it. He replied,
101., that is much under the price, as I could not sell • simi-
lar watch under twelve guineas. He then producel another
case of watches, and I selected another (produced). I re-
marked to him that the name " French, London," did not
look genuine; when he replied, " Well, perhaps not, this
watch has most batty come tram some prig' or another,
but I buy watches from and will always gore
up the parts I had them from." I then offered him 81. for
the first watch I looked at, but he would not take it. I
gave him eventually 91.10 e. for it. I then asked him if he
glad any more watches of the same kind ; he said, " No, I
may have some on Monday or Tuesday, say Tuesday, but
I am sorry you did not call yesterday (meaning Friday).when
I had some." We left the house together, and when we git
to the corner of College-sereet, and as we were walking
along, he said," I don't think that you saw that • name has
been tiled out from the plate of that watch, do not show it
in London, as it may lead to identification. I never show
my stook in London, seldom in the country, and there they
are all quiet." I went again on the Tuesday, but be said
he eould not get any of the same kind of watches. I
looked over the stock, but said I would call again
another day. On Wednesday I went to look at a chrona
meter I bad previously sees. Whilst I was there Sergeant
Jackson, 11 H somaimi bto od by Sergeant Mason, 25 8, and
