GUILDHALL.

VIOLENT ASSAULT. —Florance Donavon, an Irishman,
a notoriously disorderly character, and who has been on
several occasions fined and inprisoned for violent assaults
on police and others, was charged before Mr. Alderman
Hunter with a violent assault on his brother-in-law, and
police-constables 150 and 158.

Ifis brother-in-law, whose head was much bruised, the
result of the prisoner's ill-usage, deciinod to prefer any
charge againstlhim, but the assault on the police was
entered into.

Policc-constable 153 deposed that last night he was
called to the prisoner's:residence, Vine-court, Moor-lane,
in consequence of his assaulting his brother-in-law, and
as he was about to take him into custody he struck com-
plainant in the face with his hand. The prisoner, who
had a poker in his other hand, became very violent, and
threatened to knock the policeman's brains.out, and it
was necessary to send to the station for assistance. On
the arrival of police-constable 150 the prisoner ran into
his room and locked the door, which had to be broken
open to get at him, and it required the assistance of
three other policemen to convey him to the station-house.
Police-constable 158's thumb was so much injured ss
to require surgical assistance.

Springate, the gaoler, said the prisoner and his family
were notorious characters. His wife and son were fined
on 26th August for assaults. •
Mr. Alderman Hunter said it was useless to fine such
a ruffian as the prisoner appeared to be, and sentenced
him to 21 days, with hard labour.
