whn can scarcely be trusted to walk

alone, even when striving to do good, and whose
enthusiasm, ungoverned by judgment end perception, is
as defective and dangerous in execution as it is
praiseworthy in intent. Mr. Bishop knew how' to help on
the weak and the depressed, so that they might at last kern
how to help themselves; and this was perpetually raising up
self-sustaining and progressive human beinls out of elements.
which, under less judicious guidance, would have only developed
into confirmed pauperism, and inert dependence. He brought
to his task intellect as well as heart, and thus guided and
warmed, at the same time fulfilled his duties in a manner
which no merely wise discrimination, and no merely good-
natured benevolence could alone have attained. Mr. Bishop's

the classic locality of Banastre-street, was charged by police
constable 142, with having assaulted him, and Bridget
O'Brien was charged with having attempted to rescue hint
from the custody of the officer. It appeared that on Thursday
night the constable heard a great row in the street, and on
going to ascertain the cause, saw the man at a door, creating
a row and fighting with some girls, and on telling him to go
into the house, he struck him a violent blow on the arm with
a poker, which hurt him very much. The constable then got
assistance, and after a hard struggle the man was arrested, but
ho tried to get a knife to stab the officers. When being
taken to the station, the woman seized the
.officer by the
whiskers, and nearly pulled the jaws off him, along with the

Carr, and William Milligan, were charged with having broken
into the Shop occupied by Mr. Dalton, of Great Howard street,
and stolen therefrom about ten pounds of butter. A woman,
named Bridget Robinson, who keeps a small shop in the
Waterloo road, was also charged with two boys for receiving
the same, knowing it to have been stolen. From the evidence
adduced by the two detective officers, Laycock and Grissenth..
waite, it appeared that, on Thursday night, the owner of the
shop left the premises all secure; but, at an early hour in the
morning, he having been informed by the police that his shop
had been broken open, and, upon repairing there, missed a
quantity of butter, some tobacco, and other property. Upon
the information they subsequently received, the boys were
apprehended, when they acknowledged that they had committed
the offence, but endeavoured to blame each other. A lad also
came forward and stated that, on the night previous to the
robbery, he heard the boys making arrangements to get into
the shop, and, on the following morning, he saw one of them,
who told him that be had sold it to the female prisoner, who
had given them two shillings for it, althonght it was worth, at
least, ten shillings. The butter was found on the premise;
and identified. Tire prisoners were all committed to take
their trial at the next sessions ; the woman being admitted out
on bail.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE. —James Robinson, the
keeper of a house of ill-fame in Hotham-street, was charged
with assaulting one of his " lady" lodgers, a girl about eighteen
years of age, named Ellen Horsfield. From the statement of
the two officers, 91 and 523, it appeared that about six o'clock
on the previous evening they were called into Ifotham-street,
and, on going there, they found about 200 persons assembled
opposite the prisoner's door. There was a great disturbance,
and the young female was calling murder, and lying in the
kitchen covered with blood. After much difficulty they
effected an entrance, when they were attacked by the
Ind his wife. The girl stated that the man had
—1 some words with his wife, being in drink, and, as
come of the
"lady lodgers" were making a noise, he
knocked her (witness) down, and kicked her in the
side. Uhe was insensible from the blows, and bled very much
from the face and nostrils Mr. Bluck, who appeared for the
defendant, denied the charge, and elicited from the witness
that the police had been rather violent in the matter, and had
hurt the defendant's wife. Mr. Mansfield, after expressing
the regret he felt at seeing the girl leading such a life, and
being subjected to the brutal treatment of bad men, said he
was satisfied the police had acted very properly in going into the
house and protecting the female, when she was crying for help.
The man's conduct was most brutal, and he should order him
to pay a penalty of £lO, and in default be committed for three
months. The wife of the prisoner was also charged with the
same, but was discharged.
