THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSIOi•HOUSE.
A you's Dallas, warned Gaiseppe Barocci, was charged
before Alderman nimbi, who sat for the Lord Mayor, with
attempting to stab a wonuni, named Mary Lockhart, with

an Italian stiletto.
It appeared that the prisoner wee in the service of Mr.
Marian, the proprietor of an ioeehop in Bishopsgate-street,
and about 11 o'clock on Tuesday night he and another
young countryman, who is also in the service of Mr. Ma-
noni, were larking together in theehop, both of them being
at the time the wore•for liquor, and the prisoner being more
so than his oompanion. As length the play seemed to have
tuned into earnest, and the prisoner got dreadfully ex-
cited, and rushed into the street with a drawn dagger—a
most fermkbibla instrument—in his hand. The complainant
was standing near the shop, and, according to her evidence,
the prisocer made a stab at her, bother husband mired bun
round the neck and took the weapon from him.
The r.risooer did sot understand English, and the evi-
dence wee interpreted to him by Mr. Polleky, who hap-
pened to be accidentally in court. He said in reply that he
was to drunk that he did not know anything about what had
occurred. He sod the other timpani& had been drinking •
good deal of brandy.
The b.•sband of the complainant said that the prisoner
rushed out of the shop like a madman, with his hand in a
position to thrust the stiletto into anyone who was near
him, and he believed if he had sot seized him as he did he
would certainly have done some mischief to some one or
other.
The weapon wee produced by Mr. Forster, a insperin-
tendent of the Oily police, who had taken charge of it. It
was about ten inches long, and very sharp. On the blade
was the inscription :
-•- • -

4 Ne►er draw without reeves ;
Never sheath without hollow."
Alderman Finnic inquired if aitytking vu knows of the

prisoner
A Oily constable informed the alderman that he was
brought to this court • few mouths ego charged with
stealing • ginger-beer bottle front a man.
Alderman Enrols asked what became of that case?
The constable replied that the primes: was fined ss.
Alderman Fame inquired how the prisoner obtained pos-
sum= of the dangerous instrument which had been pro-
duced
The prisoner, in reply to Mr. PolLiky, said that he picked
it up in the shop.
Alderman Fasnis told the prisoner that be had committed
a very serious offence, and be might think himself fortunate
that he was not called upon to answer • charge of murder
or manslaughter, for there was eo doubt that in the excited
state he was in he would have done a more serious mischief
if he had not been preveeted. The prisoner could not be
allowed to introduce Italian habits into this country, and
he &Quid order hint to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for two months.

house at which I intended to purchase it was dosed I went

saw the defendant. There not bides any made of the kind
which I required, I gave an order for one, and it having been
entered I was asked for a deposit. As I had not been used
to this I declined to give ow, when the defendant said, " If
you are a gentleman you will leave a deposit." I then
drew my pen over the order, sad towelled it, and was
about to leave when he said he had not done with
me, and went to the front of the door, and thereby I was
prevented from going out. He also became abusive sad
violent, and said my name was not Captain Jervoise. He
mentioned some other name, sod called me a swindler,
sad declared that he had a forged cheque of mine. He
also said tbat I bad come to the wrong house now, and
that he would call for a policeman and give me into
custody. I told him to do so, and he then mid he would
not, and took me by the arm and pushed me out of the
place. I went beck with two policemen, wbo declined to
interfere, and then saw the defendant and his master, Mr.
Peter Brown. I asked the defendant's name, and both of
them refused to give it to me. They were violeet sad
abused me, sad Mr. Brown pushed me out of the warehouse.
