VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.—
fames Thurston, a carpenter, and Catherine Keelin, a
woman of the town, were brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting
Phillip Bradley, a police constable, No. 137 H, who
said he was on duty this morning about one o'clock, in
Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, when his attention was
called to the male prisoner, who was quarrelling with
another man and several prostitutes. They made a good
deal of noise. He begged of them to be quiet, and go
away, but they refused to do so, and he led the male
prisoner to the end of the street, when he turned round
upon him, and struck him a violent blow under the ear,
which caused him to stagger, and he fell against the
abutters of a house. When he recovered himself he
laid bold of Thurston by the collar, and the woman
Keelin then came up to him, and struck him a violent
blow on the mouth, which caused it to bleed, and cut
his lips. He then procured assistance and gave the pri-
soners into custody. Both were very violent and dis-
orderly on the way to the station-house.
Thurston, who is a respectable-looking man, said he
bad unfortunately been drinking more than usual last
night, which carried him into excesses he would have
spurned if sober. He was not what the constable took
him to be, but a working man. While he was in liquor
he fell in with a fellow who was living with a girl of the
town, and who invariably annoyed him when he met
him. He got into a quarrel, the police constable came
up, and he did not know whether he struck him or not.

THE JEWISH MODE or SLAUGHTERING CATTLE.—
This was the adjourned day appointed for the hearing
of a summons obtained by Mr. Forster, secretary to the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
against Yenikoff Cohen and Thomas Reynolds, for cru-
elty to a bullock.
The question involved was one of considerable im-
portance to the members of the Jewish persuasion, the
cruelty complained of being the mode by which they
slaughter their cattle for food, and which the 'Society
is prepared to show, by the highest medical evidence,
inflicts cruelty on the animals.
The hearing of the complaint on the former occasion
was adjourned on the application of Mr. S. Samuels, t•
enable him and the Jewish authorities to consider the
question involved, and, if consistent with their religious
tenets, to substitute some other mode of slaughtering
the animals.

Mr. Yardley said it was no excuse for beating a police.
man that the parties who assaulted him were drunk.
The male prisoner was not suspected to be a dishonest
man, or conducting himself otherwise than orderly in
general, but he was a very powerful man, and a blow
from him must have done the constable much injury. He
fined Thurston 40a., or in default of payment 14 days'
imprisonment, and the female prisoner 10s., or the alter
native of 7 days' imprisonment.

To•day a further adjournment was applied for on the
ground that the sth of October was a Jewish festival,
on which occasion the parties concerned would be en-
gaged in their religious duties, and it was suggested the
complaint should be entered into on Monday next.

Sir Peter Laurie asked if this was the first time the
question had been broached. It was a very important
question, and he had no recollection of such a case coming
before him during his long experience. •

Mr. Forster said it waR. The society considered they
could suggest a more humane mode than that now
adopted by the Jews, without interfering with their reli.
gious rights and feelings. By the Christian mode of
slaughtering cattle, a bullock took two or three
minutes in dying ; whereas, by the Jewish mode, it
occupied 12 or 13 minutes in dying. It was unnecessary
an animal should be kept so long dying.
The Clerk, who attended for Mr. Samuels, objected
to Mr. Forster then entering on the case, as he was not
in a position to reply to him.

Sir Peter Laurie said he thought it would be advan-

charge was.

Mr. Forster then described the Christian and Jewish
modes of slaughtering cattle. By the latter mode the
legs of the animal are hobbled, and it is then thrown
on its side. A hollow ring is placed in its mouth,
into which is put as iron bar, and the head of the animal
is held down in a certain posture, when the religious
officer comes with a sharp knife, shaves off a portion of
the hair from the throat, and with one cut severs the
jugular vein. The Jews considered that by so doing the
bullock died quickly, but it was a mistake. The
vein, after the first rush of blood, collapsed, and
the blood then flowed slowly, causing the animal to
be 12 or 13 minutes in dying. The Jewish official, if
he failed in the first cut to inflict death, was not allowed
to repeat it—the animal, in consequence, being unfit
for food, and it not unfrequently happened that the
butcher behind the back of the religious officer cut a
piece off one of the veins to cause the blood to
flow more freely and cause the animal to die.
After some other observations between Sir Peter
Laurie, Mr. Forster, Mr. Samuels' clerk, and the magis-
trates' clerk, the hearing was adjourned till the 16th.
