THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

VIOLENT ASSAULT.— Milian England wu charged with
hsvinu committed desperate assaulia upon George Kinsey
and William Corniek, City of London policemen, in the exe-
cution of their duty. The policemen have been since the
violence wu committed,and are now, under hospital treat-
ment.
_ .

Kinsey 's evidence stated that in the night of the 22nd of
February be interfered to prevent the prisoner from assault-
ing a man, and immediately received a blow from the former
which prostrated him. The prisoner then kicked him in the
lower part of the stomach, and ever since he had required
frequent surgical assistance.
(Amick's statement was to the effect that upon going to
Kinsey's a siotance he met with the most resolute resistance
from the prisoner, who trod upon his loot, which had received
an injury before; that the surgeon bed been obliged to re•
move one of his toes in order to make room for the play of
the rest, and the injury was exceedingly bad.
Henry M irley, the person to whose aid Kinsey, the
policeman, went, said that he and the pris nor and another
man, and a hour. maid with whom the prisoner eucciated,
were larking together, and tha: he just touched the house-
maid, upon which the prisoner attacked him most furiously,
and bit his finger, and then, upon the appearance of the
policemen, turned his vengeance upon them.
Another witness gave a still more vivid account of the
desperate violence of the prisoner, whom seven men had
consider.ble difficulty in dragging to the station-house.
The Lard Mayor directed that the City solicitor shoul I
prosecute a person guilty of such atrocious violence at the
quarter s.ssions.
WORSHIP-STREET.

TDB HANGMAN AND ufe MOTHZlL—Yesterday being
the day appointed for the adjourned hearing of a summons
against William Cakyaft, the public executioner, issued at
the Instance of the parish officers of the Witnam union, in
Essex, for refusing to support his aged mother, who has
been for some time past an inmate of that workhouse, the
court was inconveniently crowded by persona (amongst whom
was a number of well 'rested women) anxious to obtain a
sight of the defendant and his parent.
Mr. Cope, the governor of laiewgate, proved that the de-
fendant was is the receipt of a guinea per week for his
public services from the funds of the evaporation, which the
witness was in the habit of paying him, on their behalf,
every Saturday.
Sarah Calcraft, who was compelled by her infirmities to
be seated during the examination, was then called, and
stated that she was 74 years of age, and bad been fur the
last three weeks an inmate of the workhouse of Hatfield
Peveril, in the Witham Union, having become totally des-
State and constrained in consequence to throw herself upon
the parish. Previous to that she had been sheltered for two
years by her married daughter at Hatfield, with whom,
upon entering tie workhouse, she had left the few trifling
articles that had not already been ield to supply her imme
di.te wand; and before that had addressed three letters to
the defendant, whom she had not seen for nearly three
years, requarieg assistance, but she had not received any-
thing from him, end he bad nut even answered ens of her
communications. Sbe had only one other child, a son, but
be had been brought up to no regular employment, was
sometimes in service, and jobbed abut the country, earn•
big a shilling in any manner he could. The defendant, she
believed, was in circumstances to support her, as in addi.
tion to the salary he received from the corporation, he had
another business, and carried on the trade of a boot and
shoemaker.

Mr. Hansmill asked the di fendant if he had any reason-
able grJunds to assign for refusing to contribute to his
mother's maintenance ?

Defendant—Well, I should be very happy to support her
if it wee in my power, but it is not ; and as to what she says
about the profits I derive from my shoemaking bunnies, I
can assure you that I have not earned a penny at that for •
great number of weeks. I have sustained • very severe per.
sonsl injury—in fact, you never saw such an arm as I have
got ; I can neither get my coat on or off without assistance,
end, after being confined to my bed with it for more than
two months, bad a doct fr's bill sent in te me for 101 3s. 6d.,
which I am totally incapable of paying at present, and he
must wait for it. I admit that I receive a guinea a week
from the City, butthat is all we have to live upon, and when
you deduct out of that 44.61. for rent, and the cost of •
Sunday's dinner, you will find that there is not much left.
It is not from want of feeling that I don't support my mo-
ther; she was in mu-h better circumstances than I am, and I
can't see why she applied te the workhouse people at all.
Mr. nammill—You are clearly liable for the support of
your mother, and I feel it my duty to make an order on you
for the sum of 3s per week, together with the costs attendant
upon the present proceedings.
Defendant—Oh, very well; you may make your order, if
you please, but it's out of my power.
The parties then left the court.

Linen trade his formerly been confined. It is now different. fora fair
quantity of this fabric is consumed in England, which is the cause of
many hands being employed during the greatest part of the year in
their manufacture. The high prices at which Linen Yarn are now

hitherto unable to obtain un advance upon their goods adequate to the
advance they have to pay upon yarns, which are advancing daily. The
demand for damasks, diapers, ticks. hucluitracks, and sheetingeba very

appear careless with rtepoct to receiving orders without an advance of
prices upon their goods.
