POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY

(BEFORE MR. ALDERMAN HOLME.)
POCKET PICICING. —John Garan, a youth described as
holding " a regular situation," was charged by a police officer,
who said he saw a crowd in Scotland-place, and on goi ■g to
ascertain the cause he observed the prisoner with his hand in
the pocket of a lady, and he seized him. There was a con-
siderable sum of money in thi lady's pocket, but as the
prisoner did not get any, the lady refused to come forward to
prosecute. The boy was sent to jail (being an old hand) for
two months.

John Jones and James Pulp, two boys about fourteen years
of age, were charged with picking pockets in Scotland-road, on
Monday evening, in the crowd of people that had congregated
in the street. The case was fully proved, and as the prisoners
were " well known," they were sent to jail for three months,
with hard labour.

(BEFORE MESSRS. 1101 ME AND TURNER.)
" THE MARRING OF THE GREEN !"—A Welsh girl,
named Sarah Lewis, summoned Thomas Wignall,
of .5 Charles-street, for having assaulted her. Mr.
Bluck was for the complainant and Mr. Campbell
for the defendant. The contrast in the appearance of the
parties was very remarkable—the girl was a smart, tiny, black.
haired rosy-checked person, whilst the defendant was a power-
ful-looking fellow, with a head and neck like a Durham bull.
He was about six feet and a half high. It appeared that on
Patrick's night an assemblage of persons, not of the most
reputable character, took place at the defendant's house. His
wife was decorated with green ribbons, and (as was sworn
to) she was " flush with whiskey," as were several other
persons who composed the " party." A. fight (of course) took
place, and in the affray the green ribbons that adorned the
head of Mrs. Wignall, were tattered into atoms. This
exasperated the defendant to such an extent, that he sallied
forth vowing vengeance against the Welsh, and having met
the complainant he assaulted her. He was fined El and
costs, which he at once paid.
There were about half a dozen of other charges and cross
charges, arising out of the came affair, in which each of the
learned gentlemen also appeared, but on hearing the details,
the bench dismissed the summonses.
ASSAULT ON A LADY.— Anne Kitchenman, an elderly
lady of respectable appearance, charged a young man, named
Henry Humphries, dressed as a mechanic, with having violently
assaulted her on the 18th inst. Mr. Bluck was for the com-
plainant., and Mr. Campbell for the defendant. In opening
the case, Mr. Bluck said his client was a highly respectable
lady, residing in Falkland-street. On the 18th inst., she went
to the house of a tenant, a Miss Wilson, residing in Clare-
street, to collect rent. The wife of the prisoner was the wash-
erwoman of Miss Wilson, and it seemed that she
had taken some dislike to the complainant, and that she .
called in the prisoner, who seriously assaulted her without the
least provocation. Mr. Alderman Holme said Le would deal
with the case under Fitzroy's act, and fine the prisoner £lO, or
in default of payment three months' imprisonment,
