THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1867.

that he would whitewash the complainant if he em,
out of his house. On the day before this affair took
place the complainant asked him for his rent, ►nd
he said he would pay it on Tuesday. This seemed
to sati-fy the complainant, who shook bands with
him when he left. Instead of waiting till the
Tuesday for his rent, he put the brokers in on the Satur•
day. if, paid the brokers out, and wanted a receipt from
the ,omplainant, and when he would not give him one he
ilia feel annoyel. and said he would " whitewash " the
complainant. That was the only threat that he made
use of. _ _

r. nirker said that whitewashing was a new kind of
threat. The defendant would have to enter into his own
recognisance' to keep the peace for 61X months and pay the
costs.

WORSHIP-STREIa.
THE RE., 'I. 'T ANNAULT DT .% NI ItGEoN'S ASSISTANT.

rhotrtr, /Pt', a till gentlemanly young man, assistant to
Messrs. !toper and Hopkins, surgeons, at lsO, Shoreditch,
was charged un remand with an assault on the last named
gentleman, another assault on William Pole, 67 whereby
he was seriously injured, also with being drunk and break•
log a plate glass window.
Defendant iiiipeared on his bail, and Mr. Hopkins having
been called, Itated that so far as he was concerned
he desired to withdraw the charge in every respect ;
indeed, he would rather speak in defenit's
favour, for he held a Ligh opinion of him, and
during the nine mouths he had tended with him in
the house never witnessed or heard of his being under the
influence of liquor. What had occasioned this sudden out-
break he was at a loss to conjecture.
The constable stated that when called on the evening of
the :list of December to Messrs. Roper's surgery,
the defendant was struggling with Mr. Hopkins,
and that he and Sergeant Leather, G Division,
had difficulty in separating them. In the course of this
defendant fell, and on rising made such a desperate rush
at him that the thick glass window of the surgery door
was broken, and a piece of it passed through his iwitnesa's)
over and under coats, inflicting injuries from which he
had since been on the sick list, and not out of doors until
this day. Defendant tried to kick him while on the
ground.
Sergeant Leather said that the divisional surgeon had
this morning told him the wounds had healed, that
danger had ceased, and the constable now suffered only from
bruises.
Defendant said that he had not any questions to ask,
and could only express his regret for what had occurred.
Mr. Ellison—Du you wish to say anything as to the
cause of your being in such a condition':
Defendant— I wad certainly intoxicated, and it is long
since I was so before. I pushed the constable aside and he
fell against the door.
Mr. Ellison—l cannot too strongly impress on
you the folly, I may say madness of giving
way to exce-ies of airy kind—you, a young man,
bst entering life in such a profession. lam inclined to
elieve that this matter is more the result of accident than
an intentional assault, and therefore am content to bind you
over in your own rectiguisances of to keep the peace
for six months.

SOI7IIWARK.
T/IE ,VVD THE POOR-BOX.

During the list week the magistrates at this court have
been inundated with applications for assistance from the
funds of the poor-box. Most of the applicants are very
pour people, who have seen better days and would
prefer the pains of hunger rind want rather than
seek relief front the palish. Mr. Voolrych has laid down
a very excellent rule with regard to these poor people.
They obtain letters of recommendation from some person
in the district, and after presentation to the magis-
trate their cases are carefully inquired into by Mr. Hank.
inson, the otlice-keeper, and according to his report and
his worship's opinion the relief is granted in sums of money,
according to the pressing necessities of the poor applicants.
By these means the really deserving poor are relieved with-
out humbling their position in life. Should the cold and
rough weather return, it is likely that tickets will be
issued for coats and bread to the district visitors and
others, if the funds at the disposal of the magistrate will
I allow it. This morning the applications were very
numerous, and sums cat money to some extent were dis-
tributed.

the circumstance that the dividends will be paid
