VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON CONSTABLES.—George Perkiss
was brought before Mr. Long, charged with the follow.
ing violent and outrageous conduct.
It appeared from the evidence that, at seven, yester-
day evening, the prisoner was drunk and fighting in
Salisbury-street, Portman-market. He was desired to
go quietly on, but he swore he would not do so, and
said he did'nt care a d-n for fifty b-y constables.
He was taken into custody, after a determined resistance;
and on the way to the station-house he contrived to
throw down Druce 86, and Rollins, 142 D, both of
whom he repeatedly kicked and struck with great force.
Other constables came up, and it required the united
exertions of four officers to secure him properly, and

lock him up.
He was fined in two penalties of 205.; in default of
payment, in each case 14 days' imprisonment.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE ON A POLICEMAN.—Timothy
Toomey was charged by police constable Simmons,
267 A, who stated that, at four yesterday after-
noon, he went into James'-street, Paddington, to
quell a disturbance between two men who were about to
fight, when prisoner, who was not one of the men
alluded to, rushed towards him, and gave him two se-
vere blows, at the same time exclaiming —" That's for
you, you b— ;we don't want any b—y police here."
He then ran off, and made his way into a stable, fol-
lowed by witness, who took him into custody and con-
veyed him to the station.
Prisoner, who pleaded drunkenness, and said that he
had never been charged with any offence before, was
fined 20s. or 14 days.
