hour, when all the workpeoptu had gone, an I d oleuelwl
the threepence from his masters. They &wined to give
it to him and requested him to leave, but he ie:iried, and
they had to 1180 as much force as was rwoe,ea-y to remove
him out of their office. They got him down stairs into the

William Nagk, aged 20, a plasterer, was charged with
violently assaulting Julia Nagle, his mother, at No. 3,
Little Gray's-inn-lane, St. Andrew's.
Mr. H. Allen, of the Associate Institute for Enforcing
the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched the case.
From the evidence of the mother, who appeared very ill,
and whose head was enveloped in surgical bandages, it
seemed that the defendant had become acquainted with a
young woman who kept him out late at night. On Sun-
day, between II and 12 p.m., the complainant went to
look after her son, and had no sooner found him than
he bit bar in the mouth, loosened her teeth, and
knocked her down. When she got up he again attacked
her, and struck her two violent blows in the eye, and
made her nose bleed, and cut her eyebrow. He
then attempted to make his escape, but was pursued
and given mto custody. His companions then attacked
the complainant, and it was with difficulty that she was
rescued from their violence.

Police-sergeant Daniel Giles, 19 G reserve, said that he
took the defendant into custody, and the mother to the
Royal Free Iloepital, Gray's-inn-road. She was then
bleeding very profusely, and had a cut on her eyebrow
more than an inch in length and half an inch in depth.
Dr. Hill had to put a stitch in the wound before he could
keep the parts together,
The defendant treated the matter with the greatest in-
difference, and said that his mother had no right to come
after him.

Mr. Ellison sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for
two calendar month'.
WORSHIP-STREET.
George Elliott, 16, described as a porter's boy, living at
No. 3, Mary-street, Hingsland-road, was charged before
Mr. Newton with creating an obstruction in Hare-street,
Bethnal-green, by offering a bird and cage for sale.
Police-constable Edward Taylor, 70 H, proved to mixing
prisoner in the thoroughfare mentioned; he had a bird
and cage, which he exposed for sale, and caused a we'd
of about 60 persona to congregate around him. He was
immediately opposite the door of St. Matthiss's Church,
in Hare-street, andthat was a continuous source of annoy-
and interruption to divine service.
There being another charge of the same nature, Mr.
Newton ordered the prisoner to be placed in the dock
before he disposed of this case.
John Marston, a boy of about 10, was then charged with
a similar offence, by exposing two rabits for sale in the
same thoroughfare.
Police-constable 82 H., proved seeing the prisoner hold-
ing the rabbits up to general view by the ears. He had a
crowd round him, and was in close proximity to the
church. Witmer had °maimed him once.

Mr. Newton then ordered the other prisoner to stand
up, and, addressing them, avid that the offences with
which they, the prisoners, were charged was, in his
opinion, one of the greatest outrages against common de-
cency and propriety that could be. He (the magistrate)
would do all in his power to stop this crying evil; for
where persons oongeegated to praise their Maker, and
give him thanks for His mercies, they were not to be in-
terrupted by idle, disorderly boys like tho prisoners. He
fined them 40s. each, or in default one mouth's imprison-
ment with bard labour.
