THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

HOW-BTREET.
f;AR,YI7IIIO 1= LO2I4:•ACRE

Two rough-looking fellows, named Witham and Wd.h,
were charges! by Henry H a coach ironmonger in
Drurydam.. with assaulting sad attempting to rob him.
The prosecutor deposed that about 1 o'clwk on the morn-
ing of Sunday, the 17th inst., he was going home, after
spending theeireeinf with some Meads. In Long-acre he went
into a tobacconist a shop and bought a cigar, which he
lighted and began to smoke before leaving the shop. While
ho was paying for the cigar, and putting in his pocket
the change heeded to him by the tobacconist, he
noticed the prisoner and two other men standing about
the door watching Dim. He left the shop, smoking the
cigar, and proceeded in the direction of Drury-lace, followed
by the four men. Presently one of them, the prisoner Webh,
rut " l'ut it into him, at the nine time seizing him
round the peek, and pressing his threat so tightly that he
was nearly sutfocataL He was then seized by the other
three, who threw him on the ground eooouniged by Webb,
who in coarse language directed them to kick his inside
out. Webb attempted to get the money from his trousers
pocket, and in the struggle tore the trousers all down the
aide of the leg, from the pocket to the ankle,
but having mistaken the pocket, he got nothing.
The priamers were proceeding to ride his other pockets,
when the step of an approaching policeman was heard, and
they all made off. V. alums, however, was somewhat de-
laved by witness, who held him as long as he could, and
when he did get away it was only to run into the arms of
the policeman. Witness himself pursued Webb, overtook
Dim, and brought him back. The other two escaped. The
case had been adjourned with a view to the apprebseeks
of the other two, but they had not been taken.
The prisoners were committed for trial.
