POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— <This Day,

SOUTHWARK.

BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A FEMALE.— - Walter Scott, a
short, thick-set, powerful-looking man, described in the
charge-sheet as a cover, residing at 12, Star-court,
Mint-street, was brought up in custody charged with
committing a very brutal assault on Sazah Fabyer.
The complainant, a meanly-clad female, about thirty
years of age, who exhibited a lacerated. wound on the
side of the left temple, which was bleeding very much,
stated that she had lived with the prie 3ner upwards of
seven years as his wife, and had always acted faithfully
to him during that time, keeping him while out of work
with her hard labour, and attending to, all his wants.
Notwithqanding that be had latterly been in the con-
stiet habit of ill-asing her and neglecting his work. A
short time ago he enlisted in the Medical Staff Corps
and went to Chatham. He then sent to her, and she
proceeded to that place and got him his liberty, on his
promising on his return home to behave kind to her.
However, he had not been home many days before he
commenced knocking her about again. Yesterday after-
noon he came home just as she was going to her work and
ejected her from the house. She endeavoured to get in
again, and as she was about to open the shutters to
gain admission, he rushed out and struck her a
violent blow on the side of her head which
nearly stunned her. He was about to repeat the
blow, when a constable came and took him into custody.
The blow that he inflicted on her tore the skin and hurt
her very severely.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said the com-
plainant was of a bad temper, and would not leave him.
She was always abusing him, and to get out of her way
he enlisted, but she came after him, and induced him to
come back and live with her. Yesterday afternoon,
when he went home to dinner, he found no fire in the
place, and nothing prepared for dinner, when they had
a few words, and ho certainly did strike her, but not so
as to cause that wound. She must have fallen against
something. The female denied his assertions. He might
have had his dinner if he pleased, but he turned her
into the streets. The neighbours could come forward to
prove his brutality towards her.
The magistrate said that a very brutal assault had
been committed, and as other evidence was -forthcoming
he should remand him for a week. The prisoner asked
whether be could be admitted to bail. The magistrate
said, certainly not ; he had nearly murdered the woman,
and he must go to prison until the time.

MARYLEBONE.
DISPERA.TE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE ON TWO POLICE-
MEN.—This day a female named Sullivan, a powerfully-
made woman, was charged before Mr. Broughton with
assaulting Policeman Campion, A division, and Milton,
D 165.

It appeared that about 6 o'clock last night as Police
Constable Campion was on duty in Cato-street he was
called to by the prisoner's husband, whose face was
covered with blood, who requested him to take his wife
into custody. Ho went to a house in a locality called
Cato Bay, where the prisoner resided, when as be was
ascending the stair he heard her smashing the
crokery, turning over the tables, and upon entering
the room he found the debris of cups, saucers, plates,
&c., scattered over the floor of the room, and the prisoner
was in the midst of them. She was under the influence
of liquor and appeared like a mad woman. As it
was useless to think to take her into custody by himself
he procured assistance, when she was with some diffi-
culty secured and conveyed to the station-house. There,
while in the dock, and the charge was being taken, she
gays Campion a violent blow upon his head, which nearly
knocked him down, and as policeman Milton was pass-
ing with her clenched: fist she struck him upon his head
and sent his hat to the further extremity of the station.
The prisoner was sent for two months to the House of
Correction for each assault on the officers.
