POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-FIOUSE.—Li cloth dealer, named Lip,
man, was charged with having assaulted Mr. Krischio•
lowski in the Jeri market in Houndeditch.

The complainant said—The defendant wished to sell
me a coat, and as it did not suit me I refused to pur-
chase it, and he then hit me on the side of the head, and
I fell down senseless.

Alderman Wire--Did you give him no provocation
but the refusal ?

Complainant—Not the least.
Alderman Wire—Did you not spit in his face ? It is
said you did.

Co-mplainant—No. I did spit, but not in his face.
Defendant—Right in my teeth, my lord. (Laughter.)
It is well it wasn't in my eyes.
Alderman Wire—ls there any evidence to prove that
Mr. Krischiolowski gave ttis filthy offence ?
Barnet Castra—l was in the market, and I saw the
complainant spit right in •Mr. Lipman's face. We all
considered it very ungentlomanlike. (Laughter.) Mr.
Lipman did raise his hand when he found what it was
that he got.

The defendant—l assure your lordship it's a common
trick with him. He thinks nothing of spitting bang in
any one's teeth. He's a Dutchman, and he likes to do
it. (A. laugh.)
Mr. M. Samuel—l am moneytaker at the Clothes Ex-
change, and I was in the Mart at the time. I heard a
noise, and I turned round and saw the complainant in
the act of spitting, but I didn't know in whose face he
was spitting. (Great laughter.) I was told afterwards
by the complainant that defendant had struck him, and
I told him if I had seen him spit in any one's face I
would have turned him out of the market myself.
Several dealers said it was the constant practice of the
complainant sometimes to make a spittoon and some-
times a pocket handerehief of a man's face, and very few
gentlemen could stand it.

Alderman Wire said the defendant must give bail for
his good behaviour for six months, as he had violently
struck a man old enough to be his father, and advised
the complainant to get rid of the filthy habit which had
been so vividly described by the witnesses, and which,
however it might be sanctioned by some foreigners, as
far as regarded our carpets, would never be counte-
nanced by Englishmen. kLaughter.)
William Green was brought before Alderman Wire,
charged with having accused himself of robbing his em-
ployer of 1/. 12s. 6d. in Dover.
The policeman—He came up to me and said he had
committed the robbery, and deserved to be punished.
The defendant—The truth is, my lord, I no more
robbed any body than I robbed you, but I bad no place
to go to, and as I believed the night would be wet, I
was determined to get a lodging, and I succeeded.
Alderman Wire said, if defendant had gone to the
workhouse he would have been accommodated, and dis-
charged him with the caution never to tell a lie with the
object of getting a bed again.

130 W STREET.—James Georg; a well-dressed youth
of 18, who gave a false address, was charge .1 with steal-
ing a handsome gold watch and chain, the property of
Mr. Chahata Issa, an Egyptian engineer.

Ly-
ceum Theatre a few nights ago, when the prisoner, who

the same moment t,aw his valuable chronometer in the
hands of the prisoner, lie seized the rascal by the
throat, and held him, half suffocated, until he dropped
the watch to the ground, having previously contrived to
detach it; from the chain by wrenching the ring in two.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
The prosecutor—" Give me nay watch, me no be bo-
thered in dis way. Me no appear again. I have wasted
mush time since alrea:ly, and I caste no more unless
you pay to me a guinea for every hour."
The worthy foreigner was assured that he would not
be detained. long at the Old Bailey. .
Prosecutor—The old who

The process of the trial wa,s explained to him, but it
was long before the officer could get him to accept the
notice to attend at the sessions.
