Ismit, 44 8 and police-constables Boyce, We 8, Reeve,
394 8, and Solley, 105 8, in the execution of their duty.
From the evthence it appeared that the prisoner wee very
drunk, and about half-pest one in the morning was making
a great disturbance in front of a public-house which wee
closed. Berjeant Billinghtuit asked him quietly to go away,
bat to no avail, for the prisoner only made the more noise.
He then took the prisoner into custody, whin he became
very violent, and kicked and plunged about in the most de-
termined manner. Other constables coda( up they took
held of the prisoner, when he broke cue el their belts and
kicked the policeman's lantern some yards distant. While

very badly in the groin, and the others about the logs, cheat,
and body. The prisoner also tree one of the constable's
great coats in half, besides doing a great deal of other mis-
chief.
The prisoner, in defence, said be was quite drank at the
time, but still he was sure that the story told by the police•
area was very much exaggerated, in fact, he did not believe
them at all.

hitt, on the other hand, believed the policemen,
and fined the defendant V. or two calendar months for the
@multi on the police, and further ordered him to pay the
nun of Ile. 6d., or in default one month'. imprisonment with

MARLBOROIJOR-STREBT.
Just before the rising of the court on Saturday, a fashion-
ably-attired young woman was introduced to Mr. Bingham,
by ens of the officers of the court, to solicit his advice
and assistance under the following circumatencee :
She said she was residing in Park•street, Grosvenor-
square. She had been married about two years. Soo& after
her marriage her husband deserted her, taking with him all
the property he could get hold of. Considering that such a
husband wee better away from her than with her, all else wee
anxious to know was, what means the New Divoroe Act gave
for the protection of any property she might be possessed of
from the hands of a husband who had, without cause, de•
sorted her.

iffngham having referred to the act under which ap-
plication was made, found that the 21st clause had reference
to her csas, which enacts that application may be made to •
metropolitan police magistrate, who, after desertion without
sufficient comae, may order that all property be given over to
the wife, and property belonging to her, and the produce of
her industry, be her own, independent of her husband. The
act would come into operation on the 11th of this month,
when applicant had better renew her application.
The applicant thanked the magistrate, and withdrew.
Caplan Cranford OrOSSIPIOS was brought before Mr. Bing-
ham on • warrant charged with en assault on Major-General
George Warren, of 40, Onslow-equate, Brompton, under the
following circumstances . .

Mmor-General Warren, on being sworn, mid on Friday
he was proceeding along the Haymarket from his bankers,
and turning into Jermyn-street, when a person suddenly ac-
costed him, who proved to be the defendant. Stopping him
he addressed him with the remark, "Now I have met you,
shall I tell you what I think of your' Complainant an-
swering he wished to have nothing whatever to say to him,
would ham got away from him ; but the defendant followed
up the remark with saying, I will tell you my opinion," and
made use of an exceedingly offensive and filthy epithet
towards him. Complainant said he made him no sort of reply,
and had tamed upon his heel to get from him as quickly as
possible, when the defendant struck Mal so severe a blow
on the head with his walking-stick that it cut through the
brim of his hat. He closed with him, and succeeded in get-
ting possession of the stick, which ha now produced. He
walked away instantly, leaving the defendant in the street,
loudly abusing him.
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, who appeared for the de-
fendant, put a great nosy questions to the complainant, with
a view of showing that there had been an illicit intercourse
between the latter and the wife of his client; but this was
denied by the complainant, who said he had returned from
India about six months ago, about the time when the de-
fondant's wife returned with her children to this country.
Previous to this, he said, he had not seen the defendant for
Eire years. He was connected with Mrs. Crossman's family
by marriage, had everted her about London and assisted her
with money, but would swear ho had not caused the lady to
be unfaithful, and had never before been accused of doing so.
Mr. Lewis, in defence, said both complainant and defendant
were military men, and his client, Captain Cromman, had
authorised him to say that he would now give his word as •
gentleman not to interfere with as complainant again, and
therefore he hoped it would be quite sufficient if he entered
into his own recognizance.
Mr. Bingham mid he should be unfit for the Peat he occu-
pied if he allowed such a course to be adopted. He must find
two securities in 100'. each, and himself in 2001., to keep the
peace for twelve months.
