THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

BOW STREET.
• Illenescrams tionarnotnan ain3 iustsaTilt.
Hobert Suith,7) years of age, but atilt straight, sturdy,
tag active, 1/114 charged with annoying andessanlting
coestable Knowles, 100 E.
Knowles stated that about 4 o'clock this musing he was
ea duty in Hellion when he saw the prisoner at the
dece of a public-house near Fulwoorents. The
who is a lodgieg•houselceeper, lives in the
Z*ertitoroughfue, and about a week ago had asked
witless to go tato one of hie houses to turn out a ma who,
be wid, had intruded there. On seeing witness this
morning the prisoner called out, "Holloa, you esp.
hood, you did not turn that man out then!" Witnes
paid " I don't want that language used to me, but what
of it! You wept to the station and no doubt
goi malefaction there." He then want on about
30 yards, the prisoner booting after him all the while.
By this time a number of working men, who were going to
their work, had gathered round, and in a few minutes a
cooed was usembled. He then went back and told the
prisoner that if he did not desist he (witness) must take
him in custody. The prieoser replied that he was a
householder and paid the rate', and should do what
he liked. Witness took Dim ie charge, upon which he re-
lated, threw himself on the ground and kicked bine. Ulti-
mately with the assistance of two other constables he was
removed to the station-house. They were also assisted by a
civilian who happened to be paining. He accompanied them
to the station•house, where he signed the charge-sheet. He
stated that he we. a printer, and had been up. all night.
He promised to attend at the court thin morning to give
evidence, bat had not made his appearuo•
The prisoner said that on Sunday night week a man who
bad formerly lodged with him intruded himself into the
home, and he called the policeman to take hint in custody,
which be refused to do. He wished Knowles to state
whether that was true or not?

Knowles—Certainly. I woad not venture to ester your
house without at least three other wearable'. Bat at the
lame time you said nothing about giving him in charge.
You only told me to turn him out.
Mr. Flowers—Why would you not go into the house
without three other constaNes !

Km,lee—Your worship, it m a "thieves' kitchen."
Prisoner—Your worship I bad an abeam in my hand. I
could Dot sleep, so I got up and I went out to hare a drop
of gin. After I had taken three ha'porth I was standing at
the door when be came up and began calling me names.
(The prisoner repeated a number of foul expressions, which
be attributed to Knowles.) I pay 404 a year rates and
taxes, and surely 1 may stand by my own door without
being interfered with by him.
Knowles denied uttering the expreariona mentioned,
which be said were used by the prisoner to him.
Mr. Flowers said it wan greatly to be regretted that
persons who witnessed such scenes, and went to
the station to sigo the sheet did not attend at the oourt in the
morning. In such ohms it would be satisfactory to have other
testimony than that of the constable. This case was
very serious bemuse if (as he believed) the prisoner was
untruths, that act was very much in the nature of per-
jury, and the tromping up of such a defence was infinitely
worse than the offeece he was charged with. He should
fine the prisoner fed., or in default of payment sentence him
to one mouth's imprisonment.
The primmer, though he said he would serve the month,
wee so looser removed from the court than he paid the
fse.

MARLI3OROIJOH-STREET.
A TIOMILINONZ PILLOW IN • WORKROUPP-
&mud Withers, an inmate of St. Martin's Workhouse,
who hem been a source of great trouble Es the authorities,
sad has beau several times charged at this court with
sassults, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
idward &rntt, an old and paralysed inmate of the work-
bags*.

The complainant said that on Wednesday last be was
hying the cloth on one of the tables for tea, the prisoner
at the time sitting at another table writing. The prisoner
looked savagely at him, and be said to the prisoner,
"You'll know me again," when the prisoner jumped np
and Mrs& him three times is the face, blackening both
hiserk
Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired how it was that the prisoner was
not shamed before?
Deck, the constable of St. Martin's Workhorme, said that
on the oomplainaot charging the prisoner with assaulting
ins the matter was put off for the board to decide whether
the Kintner should be charged or not, and at last they
decided that he should be.
The prisoner said the cloth was thrown over him, and
upset the ink on his writing, and that be acted on the im-
pale of the moment, bat was sorry for It. If he was let
off now he would leave the workhouse and sever return.

Mother old man, and wooden-legred, said the prisoner
had threatened to serve him worse than he had nerved Bu-
ng, and he west in fear of him, the prisoner being a very
quarrelsome man.
Mr. Tyrwbitt said it wu a wonder how • parcel of men
who were so unfortunate as to be abut up in a workhouse
mold not be comfortable together. He should commit the
prisoner for seven days for the assault on Barrett, and order
him to find ball to keep the peace towards the man who had
lost hi leg.
