ASSAULTING THE POLIOE.—John Hart, Elizabeth
Hart, and John 111`Carthey, were charged with assault.
ing the police in the execution of their duty.
Police-constable 612 deposed that on Saturday night
about a quarter to 12 o'clock he was on duty in Petti-
coat-lane when his attention was directed to Hutchin-
son-street, where he found a large number of people as-
sembled round John Hart, who was fighting. On his
seeing the policeman he threatened to " knock his
b- brains out if he touched him." Some of the
prisoner's friends endeavoured to get him away,
but he was obstinate, and struck witness, when
Police-constable 649 came up, and he was taken into
custody. .

Police-constable 649 said that when about to take
Hart into custody the female prisoner caught him by
the hair of his head, and pulled his head back, and he
was kicked several times by M'Carthey.

Police-constable 672 said he assisted to take Hart
into custody. In Houndsditch he became so violent as
to require additional assistance, and at the station they
were obliged to put the handcuffs on him. He threat-
ened he would do for witness.

Ann Barrett, a married woman, stated that she went
to the Palace Tavern, Petticoat-lane, on Saturday night,
to look for her husband, when John Hart knocked her
down and kicked her, and the female prisoner pulled a
handful of hair from her head, which she produced in
court. Her husband was also much injured by the vio-
lence of the prisoners, and was unable to attend in con-
sequence. That was the commencement of the row.
She could only account for the two prisoners' conduct
towards her and her husband from jealousy on the part
of the female prisoner, with whom he formerly kept
company.

Joseph Bevis said he was in the above public•house
about half•past 11 o'clock, when he saw the last witness
and her husband. The prisoners came in afterwards.
He said Ann Barratt and her husband began the row.
Police-constable 612 said that Barratt complained to
her previous to the row of being ill-used.

Sir Wm. Carden asked the officer of this court to
examine the hair produced with the hair on the woman's
head, which he did, and pronounced it to be more like
goat's hair than human hair. Sir Wm. Carden said
whatever it was the woman's bands bore evidence of ill-
usage, and, after censuring their conduct Bald lecturing
theta on the evils of drunkenness, sentenced the pri-
soners to 10 days' imprisonment each with hard labour.
