POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This day.

MARLBOROUGH-ST BEET.

THE FOREIGN PROSTITUTE NUIBANCEI IN REGENT-
STREET,—Mario Debacker, Emma Mailer, and Louisa
Ackling, prostitutes, the first two foreigners, were charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disorderly
manner in Regent-street, and Mailer was further
charged with assaulting police-constable Goddard, 302 A,
and Ackling with assaulting police-constable Bucking-
ham, Mi A. _ _ _

Goddard said that at a quarter past 12 last night ho
saw Mailer and Debacker in company with four other foreign
prostitutes in front of the County Fira office in Regent-
street. lie told them to separate, as there were so many
of them there, and some of them were abort to do so,
whoa Muller refused to go, and used a low expression
in English, and then placed herself against the wall,
saying "I'll not go for you—you arc one —," On
taking hold of her arm to remove her she began smack-
ing his face, and Debacker and the others then laid hold
of Mailer and tried to pull her away. At this time there
were about a d( z:a prostitutes—mostly foreign once—
several of their men, aDd about 100 other persons col-
lected. Another constable came to his assistance, and
they then took Maher and Dobacker into custody, when
Mailer became very violent—kicking and scratching.
Buckingham, 32S A, said he heard screaming under the
County Fire-office, and on going to the
place found Mailer
and Goddard struggling together. There were several
women and three men trying to gat Mailer away, Dobacker
also taking part. While going to the station with Mailer
and Debacker, Ackling came up and knocked off his hat.
Mailer denied striking the constable, and said the reason
he interfered with her was because she refused to give him

money.
Mr Tyrwhitt said he had not the slightest doubt the
psisoners had been guilty of disorderly conduct. The con-
stables were pet fectly tight in dispersing them ; and if they
did not carry on their wretched trade quietly, and were
brought before him again, he would send them to prison
for a month. The charge Mailer had made against the
police evidently was made from petty malice. He should
flue Mailer 20s, Debacker 6s, and Adding 10s.
Mr Albert, who had interpreted, repeated the magis-
trate's caution to them.

Art Imroszon.—JohnTooke, a boy living in Great Wyld-
street, Drury-lane, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with
begging in Regent-street.
The prisoner was seen by Turner, one of the Mondicity
officers, in Regent-street yesterday afternoon, with a board
round his neck, on which were the words "Totally blind
and fatherless," a dog with a tin cup fastened round its
neck being by his side. In consequence of complaints wade
to the Society, Turner watched the prisoner for some time,
and saw him joined by three girls, when they all com-
menced playing at "pitch and toss," and on one of the girls
throwing up four half-pence and saying they were all
women, the prisoner, although supposed to bo totally blind,
cried out "It's a-- lie, they are all heads." which
Turner, on stepping up found to be the case. The prisoner
then walked away to the chapel in Regent-street, when
Turner, in the presence of a lady and gentleman, asked the
prisoner whether ho was totally blind, and be said ho was
and had been for five years. Turner then toek the prisoner
into custody, but not till several persons had given him
money. On the way to the station the prisoner admitted
that ho was not blind, but said that he had something the
matter,with his eyes, and that ho went out begging to keep
his mother and the rest of them.
Mr Tyrwhitt said as the prisoner had never been brought
to the Court before ho would discharge him, but if ho were
brought before him again he would commit him for a
month.
