POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GENTLEMEN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CO.NDUCT
—ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—TWO gentlemen, named
John!Buck and[George Thomas, both residing at Shooter's-
hill, Woolwich, were charged before Mr. Pyrwhitt with
being drunk and creating a disturbance in Piccadilly, and
Buck was further charged with assaulting Sergeant Henry
Atwell Allen 20 C,

Henry Hyatt, night constable of Burlington Arcade, said
the two defendants came to the Piccadilly end of the Bur-
lington Arcade, yesterday evening about half-past eighti,
the gates at the time being closed, and his orders being not to
let any persons in after eight o'clock except the inhabitnats
The defendants, who were ,very fresh and riotous, tried to
force their way into the arcade, notwithstanding ha told
them they would not be permitted to enter, and that
drunken persons were not permitted to enter at any time.
As they caused a large crowd to assemble, and were very
unruly, evidently being out for an evening's spree, he
sent fur a constable and gave them in charge. He had
been the constable for eight years, and it was the first job
he had brought to the court, though he had often had to
threaten young gentlemen. (Laughter,)
Sergeant Henry Allen, 2) C, said on going to the arcade
he found the two defendants there, both of them in a state
of intoxication. The last witness wanted to keep them from
entering the arcade, but they persisted in trying to do so
and refused to leave. After same persuasion he (the ser-
geant) got them to leave, and they went a short distance
and got up a crowd, Buck saying he would not leave the
place, but would be locked up ; and on taking him into cus-
tody, finding all persuasion useless, he became very violent
and struck him (the sergeant) in the face, and took hold of
him by both thighs and tried to throw him over his head,
and all the way to the station was very violent.
Hyatt said that Thomas tiled to persuade Buck to leave.
Buck said he did not think it was so late. He wanted to
see his bootmaker, and he was pushed violently, as he

•
thought.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Buck 40s. or a month, and discharged
Thomas, at the same time stating that the inhabitants had
a perfect right to shut up the arcade even in the middle of
the day if they thought proper, and if they did not close it
at night they would have all sorts of persons there.
