LAMBETH.

Mr. Charles Was. Allem, • iiiiacTramear, carrying on buil-
neu at 138, Lambeth-walk, a densely populated neighbour-
hood, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a summons
charging him with carrying one business causing a nuisance
and injurious to the health of the inhabitants.
Mr. injurious
clerk to the vestry of Lambeth, appeared to
support the summons, and Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, at-
tended for the defendant.
From the testimony of several of the inhabitants of the
neighbourhood it appeared that they suffered severely in
their comforts and health by the stench and effluvia arising
from the premises of the defendant, and more particularly
at night, when the tripe undergoes the process of boiling.
Some of the witnesses said they bad frequently been
awoke from their sleep by a burning sensation in their
' throats and violent headache caused by the disgusting
vapours from the defendant's premises. The 'nuisance
was of that character that opening their windows to
admit air only made it worse, and they were
obliged to sprinkle their bed-rooms with strong scents to '
render them tolerable. Mr. Barraclongh, the assistant '
medical offloer of the parish, however, after describing the
premises se a nuisance, and highly dangerous to the health
of the inhabitants, admitted that the defendant had done
everything that could be effected to abate the nuisance,
and Mr. Sleigh insisted that this was all the statute re-
quired the defendant to do.
Dr. Puckle, the officer of health for the pariah, went
further than his assistant, by saying that it would require
a shaft or chimney eighty feet high to carry off the whole
of the vapours before the nuisance would be wholly
removed.
Mr. Sleigh said his client was most anxious to do every-
thing in his power to remove all camas of complaint, and if
time was given him he should undertake to awry out the
suggestions of Dr. Puckle, and build a shaft forty feet high.
This was ultimately agreed upon, and the summons was
allowed to stand over for two months, to give time for the
required improvements to take place.

John Ar Donald, aged 20, described as a labourer, of No.
3, Devonshire-place, King-street, Limehouse, was brought
before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Alfred
Reed, a police-constable, 97 K, and Henry Philpot, 168 K.
It appeared that the prisoner had wantonly and without
provocation assaulted a respectable man and his wife, in Em-
mett-street, Poplar, and they appealed to Reed for protec-
tion. He saw that the manwho was assaulted was bleeding,
and the woman was crying, and asked why she should be
struck by a ruffian in the public street. Beed immediately
took the villain into custody, and was leading him
away to the station-house, when he struck him
and tripped him up. A severe struggle took
place, in the midst of which Philpot came up, and the
prisoner turned round upon him and knocked him down,
and when down kicked him. Philpot got up, and the pri-
soner, who used diabolical language , made a kick at him,
which partially took effect, and hurt him very much. A
terrible struggle occurred, and the prisoner was eventually
subdued and taken to the station-house. It was proved
that the prisoner had been in custody several times, and
convicted for assaults, drunkenness, and disorderly con-
duct.

Mr. Paget commented on the savage and malicious con-
duct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour—one month for the assault
on Reed, and two months for the assault on Philpot. Con-
stables bad difficult and dangerous duties to perform, and
must be protected.
Thomas Clark, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget
on a charge of assaulting Richard Walter and Thomas
Cliff, constables of the K division, in the execution of their
duty.
Yesterday morning, at two o'clock, the prisoner was
making a disturbance in Salmon-lane, Limebowie, sad
abusing • person there. Re was requested by Walter to
go in doors and not make *noise, when he threw a quart
pewter pot at his bead. It fortunately missed him. Cliff
arrived directly afterwards and attempted to secure him,
but the prisoner gat away from him, rushed into his house,
and returned into the street direct) afterwards with a
sods water bottle filled with pickles in Ids hand, with which
he struck Cliff on the helmet. The blow fell on the peak
of the helmet and touched his nose, but did not injure it.
The bottle was broken into many pieces.
Thomas Melrose, a working man, of No. 9, North-street,
Lintehowte, confirmed the statement of the policeman.
Mr. Paget said that, fortunately for the prisoner, the
blow inflicted with the bottle was not attended with the
consequences which could be expected from so savage an
assault. It was a case, however dessrving of severe
punishment. He sentenced the IR:teener to one month's
impriaomneot and hard labour for the assault on Walter,
and two months and hard labour far the assault on Cliff,
in all three months' imprisonment.
