THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Hermon Lau, charged with having forged a bill of ex-
change for 1,2.:10/., was brought before Alderman Wire for
final examination. Mr. Mullen, of the firm of Messrs.
Bushe and Mullen, solicitors to the committee of bankers
for protection from felony and fraud, attended for the pro-
secution, instructed by Messrs. Nicholson and Parker. Mr.
Hobler appeared for the prisoner.
Although bills for large amounts and similarly executed
had been observed in the prisoner's pocket-book there was
no new case entered into against him.
Mr. Hobler declined to go into the defence at that stage
of the proceedings, as the alderman was resolved to commit
his client for trial at the Central Criminal Court, and said
that the prisoner declined to my anything at aIL

Alderman Wire having then read the usual magisterial
caution preparatory to the duty of committing for trial,
The prisoner mid that he would leave his case in the
hands of his solicitor, add was committed to News/ate.

WORSHIP-STREET.

.
Joseph ',Wilms, a tall, muscular fellow, was charged
with having been concerned with three other men not in
custody, in assaulting and robbing a young man named
William Murray.
Prosecutor, who was brought to the court from the Lon-
don Hospital, and was evidently in a state of extreme suf-
fering and debility, stated that while passing through •
street in Whitechapel, on his way home, on the night of
Monday, the 23rd ult., he was accosted by two women of
abandoned habits, who invited him to accompany them to
their residence, but he rejected their importunities, and was
endeavouring to extricate himself from them, when the
prisoner suddenly presented himself in thecompany of three
other men, and advancing towards him in a menacing li
attitude, demanded what he meant by taking liberties with
his wife. Before he had time to offer an explanation, the
prisoner struck him a terrible blow under the ear, which
knocked him down, and after kicking him so unmercifully
in the side that he was disabled from all power of resistance,
stooped over him, and commenced rifting his pockets, from
which he abstracted all the money in his possession. On
making an effort to recover his feet, the prisoner addressed
his companion, with the exclamation, " Knock his brains
out, and settle him at once," and he was instantly attacked
by the whole party, who beat and kicked him in such a
brutal manner that he was rendered insensible, and had no
recollection of anything that subsequently ensued until a
considerable time afterwards, when he found himself under
the charge of the police, who conveyed him to the London
Hospital, where he had remained ever since.
Pulice-constable Damerell, H. 140, stated that at the time
in question his attention was attracted by a loud cry at the
corner of Wentworth-street, and while making his way
there he met the prisoner, who was running at full speed in
the opposite direction. Ile immediately seized the prisoner,
who made a desperate resistance, but with the assistance of
two other constables he was ultimately overpowered and
conveyed to the station-house, to which he was followed by
the prosecutor, who was supported there in a state of partial
stupor by another officer, and after the charge had been
entered was at once removed to the hospital.
Committed.

.....
Thomar French, a sailor in charge of the yacht now exhi-
biting on the Serpentine, was summoned before Mr. Hard-
wick for assaulting a gentleman named John Pearce, residing
in Berkeley.scluare.
The complainant said he was bathing in the Serpentine,
on the morning of the 27th of June, when he swam towards
the yacht and rested himself by holding on to the stage to
which the yacht was secured. The defendant seized a
bucket and rushing forward with an oath declared if he
did not get away he would make him go. He asked
the defendant what he meant to do, and the defendant
replied he would soon chew him, and instantly threw him
off the platform by a kick. This act might have cost him
his life, as he only made use or the stage because somewhat
exhausted. A young man had just before nearly lost his
life from similar treatment.

On cross-examinationb3llfr. Cross complainant said ahoy
spoke to him before he got on the platform, but certainly
he was not told that he might bang on the platform if he
felt exhausted. The defendant had not his shoes on when
he kip ked him. _

Mr. Cross said the vessel named the Prince of Wales was
full-rigged, with parts so handsomely gilt and decorated,
that even the scratch of a toe-nail might prove a serious
detriment. The defendant was in charge of the vessel, and
it was as much as his place was worth to allow any one to
get upon the stage.

A sailor-boy, named Matthews, said he warned the com-
plainant off, and so also did the defendant. The complain-
ant would not move, and called the defendant a bully, and
added, if he had his cane with him he would cut hia
head off.

Mr. Pearce said, after he was so grossly assaulted, he
certainly did call the defendant a bully.
Another sailor apprentice gave similar evidence, and, in
reply to questions from Mr. Ilardwieke, said he also warned
the complainant not to get on the stage, but to hang on it if
he felt exausted. The complainant would get upon the
stage, and remained there four minutes. The complainant
did not say he was exhausted, and, had he been exhausted,
there was a Humane Society's boat within ten yards.
Mr. Pearce would admit that he had no right to get upon
the stage, but be was not aware that he was committing
any trespass, and when warned olf he told the buy he only
intended to rest a minute, and then he would get ME He
denied there was any boat within a hundred yards of the
spot. Before he bad time to get off the defendant rushed
upon deck, and in the rough manner he described kicked
him into the river. lie submitted that, under the cir-

-.7 .
eumstances, the defendant was nut justified in assaulting

Hardwick said the evidence proved, and the com-
plainant did not deny it, that he had been warned more
than once not to get upon the stage. The witnesses had
also sworn that they told the complainant he might hang
on the stage ; and further, that, had the complainant felt
exhausted, there was the Humane Society's boat within 10
yards of the yacht. Under the circumstances of the case, he
felt bound to dismiss the charge.
