POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

MARYLEBONE.

VIOLENT AND DESPERATE ASSAULT.—This day John
Milgate, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Long with
breaking the windows of the Brazenhead public-house,
Lisson-street, and with assaulting police-constable
377 A.

G. Walter, barman at the Brazenhead, said that the
preVious afternoon the prisoner was at the bar with
another man, with whom he had some words. As he
was under the influence of liquor he was asked to leave,
when he went away. He came in again and upon being
told to leave he struck the potman. He was then forc-
ibly ejected. When in the street he became exasperated
and throe times came towards the window. The last
time he went up to it he broke two panes of glass with
his elbow. A policeman was then called.
The policeman said that after he laid hold of
the prisoner he acted in the most violent
manner, and exclaimed " Blood or cheap bread."
He *then struck at him, and said " I am a
Birmingham man." He was the most desperate
man that he (the constable) ever saw it required the
efforts of ;several policemen to secure and convey
him to the station-house. On the way there he re-
peatedly called out "Blood or cheap bread."
The prisoner observed he was so drunk that he did
not know what he was doing.
Mr. Long remarked that the prisoner was ono of those
who imagined that by violence they will get cheap bread,
and that it can be effected by such demonstrations as
have taken place in Hyde park. He might rely upon it
that the strong arm of the law would be exercised against
persons engaged in such violent proceedings, and that
the misguided men so engaged will meet with severe pun-
ishment. He believed that the present high price of
bread would be temporary, and it was their duty to
wait patiently the time when there shall come an altera-
tion in the price for the benefit of the poor.
The prisoner was fined 205., or in default 14 days for
breaking the windows, and 405., orin default one month
in the House of Correction.

GROSS MISOONDUCT OF A FBAIA.LE AT MARYLEBONE
WORKHOUSE.--Julia Power, a married woman, who is
permitted to have an apple stall in High-street adjoining
the police-court, was charged with the following gloss
misconduct at the door of the workhouse of the parish,
Northumberland-street, New-road.
The charge was proved by Green, the day porter ;
Mrs. Green, his wife ; and Brown, the night porter, who
showed that the prisoner, who was in liquor, applied for
relief, when, upon seeing the state she was in, her ap-
plication was refused. She then used the moat disgust-
ing language towards Mr. Green, upon which she was
given into custody. She resisted the police.
Mr. Tubbs, overseer of the parish, said that the pri-
soner had become notorious for her habits of intemper-
ance. A short time ago he clothed ono of her children,
and took it into the house. He had refused any further
assistance. He thought the case was one that ought to
be treated under the Vagrant Act, and not under the
Poor Law Amendment Act.
Mr. Long said that the charge was one of the most
disgusting that bad ever come under his notice, and that
he should, therefore, deal with it to the utmost extent of
the law.
She was fined 405., or, in default of payment, one
month's imprisonment.

while cruising about Bhadwell, fell in with the prisoner,
who "took him in tow" and "convoyed" him to a grog
shop, where he treated her with liquor, and afterwards
went home with her. He soon fell asleep on a bed, and
when he awoke he missed his watch and his companion
too. He immediately sallied forth in quest of the pr:_
