POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

BOW-STREET.—Mary Ann Murphy was placed at the
bar before Mr. Hall, charged with creating a disturbance in
Crown-street, Soho, and obstructing policeman F 145 in the
execution of his duty.—The policeman said that, being on
duty in Crown-street, on Sunday evening, he saw the pri-
soner quarreling with a man and some women who were
standing with her under an archway, where they were taking
shelter. He told them that if they could not be quiet they
must go away. The man and the other women went away,
but the prisoner refused to stir. 'Witness said she must go
away, and if she did not he must take her into custody ; but
she still refused to go away, and he took her in charge.—Mr.
Hall : When the other people went away there was no fur-
ther necessity for interference. It was all at an end then,
and there was no need for sending her away ; besides, it was
raining. Why did VOL wish to send her on ? Witness
said she swore at him.—Mr. Hall: It was very wrong for
her to use such language as that, but you should not have
meddled with her when the man and woman had gone on.
Well, go on.—The witness then stated that on her way to
the station-house the prisoner reksted violently, called him

indecent names, and struck him in the face twice.—Mr.
Hall; You said nothing about that last night at the station-
house.—Witness No, I did not.—Mr. Hall (to the pri-
soner): Under the circumstances I will discharge you ; but,
remember, you ought not, under any circumstances, to use
abusive language to the policeman, or to assault him.—
Prisoner : I did not do either; what he has said is false.
—Mr. Mali ; Well, you are discharged now.

MARL DO ROUG H -STREET.—Jas. Bruce was brought
before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having defrauded
several watchmakers to a considerable amount, under these
circumstances:—lt appeared from the evidence of an assist-
ant to Mr. Delolme, watchmaker, Itathbone-place. that the
prisoner was the ?OIL of a jeweller and watchmaker in Jermyn-
street, and that he was employed in the business. The pri-
solo r came to his master's shop on the 15th of September,
and obtained two watches, under a pretence that he had been
requested to procure them on aecount of his mother, who
carried on the business in Jermyn-street. Shortly after the
transaction the prisoner called again at the shop, and obtain, d
three tarn, watches, all of which he said were for his mother.
The property thus fraudulently obtained amounted to up-
wards of 401. in value.—Mr. Wontner attended on behalf of
the prisoner ; but as there were other charges of a like nature
against him, which render a remand indispensable, the pri-
soner reserved his defence for the present.
BeN EVOLENCE.-10/. has been received from" E. R." to
be placed in the poor-b;:.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Tren ELEgrate TELEGRAPH.—
A countryman, named Benjamin Daniels, was charged on
suspicion of having absconded, and stolen the sum of 311., the
property of Nlr. John Baxter, a in Attr Butcher, residing at
Norwich.—Thomas Ashton, an inspector of the Eastern
Counties Railway, stated that between one and two o'clock
on Saturday afternoon, a communication was received at the
Shoreditch terminus, by means of the electric telegraph, from
Norwich, to the effect that Daniels, whose dress and person
weredescribed, had left that place by the 11 o'clock train, and
directing, on its arrival in town, that he might be given into
custody. The nature of the offence he had committed not
having been specified, a telegraphic dispatch was at once
transmitted back for further particulars, the answer to which
was, that the accused person had absconded with 341., and
that the prosecutor would come up by the next train to sub
stanti de the charge. About three hours after the above in-
terchange of communications, which occupied only about
five minutes, the train in question arrived at Shoreditch,
and as the person of the prisoner, who was one of the pas-
wagers, corresponded exactly with the description they had
received, he was given into custody.—Mr. John Baxter stated
that he had had frequent dealings with the prisoner, who
was also a master butcher at Norwich, and about a week
since, he sold two bullocks to the latter for the above-men-
tioned sum, which the prisoner promised to pay to him when
they met at market on the following Saturday. The pri-
soner, however, failed to keep his appointment, and having
ascertained from subsequent inquiries that he had started by
the railway that morning fur London, witness instantly
hastened to the office of the electric telegraph, and gave the
necessary instructions for the prisoner's apprehension.—ln
I answer to the charge, the poisoner emphatically denied being
actuated by any fraudulent intention, and expressed his
readiness to satisfy the prosecutor's claim, notwithstanding
the harsh and injurious treatment to which he had been sub-
jected.—Mr. Broughton considered that the prosecutor had
been very ill-adt iwd in the course he had adopted, as the
transaction amounted to a mere matter of account between
the parties, which ought not for a moment to be made the
subject of criminal proceedings, and he should therefore
order the prisoner to be discharged.
BEN EvuLENcE.—A donation of 101. for the poor-box seas
received by the magistrate from " E. R.," an acknowledg-
ment of which was requested.

MARYLLDVAr..—JVIC!DE ATTEMPTED.—Ann Dunn,
a girl about 1.5 years of age, was charged with having stolen
a silk handkerchief, but was liberated on promising to appear
again to-day. About an hour after her release, she was
brought back to the court completely saturated with water.
—Mr. Skinner, a surgeon, deposed that on the same day,
soon alter 1 o'clock, as he was passing Gloster-gate, Regent's-
park, he heard several violent screams, and presently per-
ceived a female (the prisoner) struggling in the canal. She
was fortunately rescued from drowning by the assistance of
two persons, who climbed over the railings ; and on witncsa
subsequently questioning her as to her motive for throwing
herself in, she replied that, being unable to get home on Sa-
turday night as soon as was required of her, she w:l4 afraid
to go Lack to her father again.—Mr. Itawlinaon : What can
you mean by making this wicked attempt upon your life ?
Prisoner (crying): I was afraid to go home, sir.—The father
said she had no reason whatever to be afraid of anytking of
the sort, and promised to look properly after her in future.
SOUTHWARK.—lliehael 'lathy, a well-known thief,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with having
in his possession a quantity of rope-yarn stolen from a barge
belonging to a lighterman named Pinner, at l'ickle Herring
Wharf, Tooley-street.—Poliee-comitable 202 M said, that
about 7 o'clock on Saturday evening he saw the prisoner
leaving Pickle Heeling Wharf with a large quantity of rope-
yarn on his shoulder. Knowing him to be an oia thief he
watched him into a marine store dealer's, at the corner of
Vine-yard Tooley-street. He followed him into the latter
place, and saw hint offer the yarn for sale, when
he took him into custody. There was about two
hundred weight of it, worth 301. After he locked the
prisoner up, be ascertained that one of Mr. Pinner's
barges, lying at the above wharf, contained rope yarn ex-
actly like that found in the prisoner's possession.—Mr. l'inner
said, one of his barges came alongside the wharf on Saturday
afternoon, with rope-yarn similar to that produced, and lie
had no doubt the butt, r had been stolen from the barge.—
The constable said the prisoner had been convicted of similar
robberies, and was associated with a notorious gang of
thieves, infeating the different wharfs in Tooley-street.—Mr.
Seeker said, that lie had no doubt the prisoner had stolen
the rope-yarn in question, hut in the absence of proof he
could not commit him for trial. lie should, however, sen-
tence him to two months' hard labour in the House of Cor-
rection for unlawful possession.
THAMES.—A Los nos Bar.—A lad named Joseph
Bender was charged with wilfully breaking a square of
glass in a window in the Mile-end-road. It appeared that
the prisoner, who is scarcely ten years of age, and who was
visible in the dock only from the eves upwards, was playing
with another lad in the neighbourhood of the prosecutor's
house, when, without the slightest provocation, and appa-
rently actuated by the me-re spirit of mischief, lie wantonly
and deliberately smashed the square of glass. When given
into the custody of the constable, he at first refused to give
any account of himself,. but ultimately stated that his father
was dead, and his mother lived in Felix-street, Brick-lane ;
hut that there was no person to care or look after hini.—Mr.
Ballantine wished him to be placed on the floor in front of
the dock ; and the little urchin's appearance was calculated
to provoke surprise that such an infant should be held ame-
nable to the lima—Roche, the jailor, being directed to ex•
amine his dress, said it consisted of a corduroy suit, very old
and torn, and held together on his person with pins. His
head and feet were quite bare, and both in a most filthy con-
dition.—Mr. Ballantine: Who will take care of one so full
of mischief ?—The worthy magistrate, however, quickly an-
swered his own position, by ordering the wretched child to
betaken to the workhouse, and directing an usher to pay for
the square of glass.

WANDSWORTH. —A summons was yesterday granted
against a student of the College of Civil Engineers,
who it appeared had committed an assault upon a
young woman named Tovey. The complainant stated
that the student on being repulsed had sought refuge
in the college ; that the porter had admitted him and closed
the gates against the woman who pursued him, refusing to
tell the offender's name, or to take her complaint to the
Principal.
