IHE POLICE COUBTE

CLERIEEN WELL.

A powerfully-hellilelkow, who gave the name of William
Cant, described as a bricklayer, was placed at the bar before
111 r. Tyyrrwwhitt, charged with violently sassultieg Polia-
eoe Walton. 139 N. and Edward., 98 N, in the exe-
cution of their duty, and also insulting Elizabeth Dow, in
the Holloway-reed.
Mr. Waning appeared for the primmer,
non the oedema it appeared that last night the defends
sat wee la the Holloway-road very drank. and when the
female passed he abused her, struck her a violent blow in the
fin, and knocked her down. Her *regains brought the
aesistance of police-constable Walton, who no sooner arrived
on the epot than the prisoner knocked him down, kicked Mon
several time on Melee, and very much injured Wm. When
Edwards came up he was kicked by the potions, in the
stomach, and the constable said that he felt the pain this
morning. On the way to the polloe-station the priaLuer'm
conduct wee very disgraceful, and he struck the constables
about the bead end fees, and made their mane bleed.
The defence set up was that the women, with whom the
primmer had formerly cohabit d, had assaulted him in the
first instance.

ii;7lyrwlillt ordered the defendant to be imprisoned for
tat weeks is the Bosse of Correction, fourteen days for the
assault on the first constable, a month for the sewed, cad a
month for the assault on the female.

therpe PteMeg., of the Belmont-wharf, Maiden-lane, and
of 19, River-stivet, Islington, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
width, on a 'unmoor, with having, on the 23rd of November
het, unlawfully sold to Mr. Matthew Wilson ow mete(
coals, for and ea a sort which they really were nor, con-
trary to the provisions of the lot and 2nd Will. IV., chap.
76, see. 46.
From the fieldmice it appeared that the defendant waited
upon the complainant's wife, in the mouth of November lest,
sad asked her for en order for coals. At this time he pro-
duced a card widish wee heeded, "Greet Northern Railway
Coal Company," under which were the prices of the several
desceiptim of the male. The complainant, believing that he
wee the agent of the railway company, ordered two tone at
the highest pekoe on the card, viz., " beet Weinfeld," at 24a.
per ton. The coals were delivered at dusk next evening, and
with them a vendor's ticket, ea the top of which was
"Great Northern Railway Coal Company, chief °Moe,
Beiniont.whetf, York-road, liineteort.es," but at
the bottom, the word "railway' was not la-
med. The coal, were of such en inferior qua-
lity that they would not burn, in consequence of which
the complainant wrote to the defendant Mum to see him ;
bat, instead of calling himself, he sent his wife, who said that
the cools were very bad, and (het she would have them taken
back and Nab coal. cent in their piece. This, however, not
being done, the defeating tae again written to, bran° notice
vas taken of the communicatioe, in consequenos of which the
complainant called in Mr. Din, the coal inspector of the Cheat
Northern Railway Company, who said the cunt, instead of
being the " best Welliend," were nothing but the common-
est sort of elide, vie., " Barnsley soft," and that instead of
being worth 24a. per ton, which the defendant had charged,
the trade at the time were being served with Barnsley soft at
14e. 6d. per ten. The complainant, finding that he could get
no mime from the defendant, took oat the present summons,
eines which the defendant has waited epee him to induce him
to oompromiee the matter, bat that the complainant refused
to do, upon public gr. nude.
A solicitor, who attended for the defence, Paid it was •
mistake. The defendant wee only agent for a perm at
Belosont-wharf, and on ell the coals he wild he had 2s. pates
commladoe. The defendant wee well known, and bad
within them few weeks sold over 100 tone of mils. ,-;:sits
The complainant here produced the vendor's ticket, sad
remarked that the defendant's name wu printed en ft, bat
sot se the agent for soother person.
Mr. Tyrwbltt said if the defendant received wow, for
ow eat of coal end sent another he must take the come
queue. He believed that what the defended had mid
about being agent was a mere subterfuge. This me one of
those trateactioes which fell very hard particulerly spathe
smaller class of hone kaepere, and he did not think that it
was a cue that ought to be compromised. The better clams
of coal was being momently mixed with inferior coal, and
that by perms of the ems dm as the defendant. Ae there
wee no Mire on the Feet et the complainant for the infliction
of the full penalty, and se tide was the first case tbat had
come before him foe some Me, be should order the defendant
to pay a fine of 101., 61. for each tenr hashed of 1i 1. for each
ton, or in default three Wander months' imprisonment II
any other cm of the soot come helm hits, he should mast
certainly inflict the fall penalty.
The defendant not having them mop was looked up, at
the same time saying that Its should appeal against the
decieion.
