DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.— Patrick Hagan, a powerful
fellow, was charged with the following disgraceful con-
duct :

Mrs Bullock, the wife of the proprietor of the Wiltshire
Brewery, Simmond-street, Uh'elsea, said that she knew the
defendant, whom she had been obliged to charge at this
court with misconduct a couple of years ago. He had been
to the house two or three times since, but she had inva-
riably refused to serve him. Last night he came with some
others and called for drink, but she refused to give it them
for two reasons, firstly, henna() they were drunk, and, se-
condly, because they were with him. They then went into
one of the public rooms, and on hearing a great noise she
went to the spot and found they had done a great deal of
malicious damage, for which she now sought recompense.
Mr Arnold asked whether she could prove that the de-
fendant did any of it ?
Mrs Bullock replied that when she entered the room she
found the gas fittings, which had been torn down, in the
defendant's hand, the door had been broken and the defend-
ant and his companions were preparing to burn a box:

Mr Arnold inquired whether they gave any reason for
this unlawful and disgraceful conduct.
Mrs Bullock replied that the only reason that could be
assigned for it was that she would not servo them. The
defendant seized a quart pot and threatened to dash her
brains out, and she waa obliged to leave, fearing he would
carry his threat into execution.
A police constable proved that after committing the
daruage in question the defendant and his companions left
the house. From ;nformatir n received he apprehended the
defendant shortly afterwards.
Defendant denied the charge, and said he could call the
other men who wore with him as witnesses.

Mr Arnold said lie would give him an opportunity of
doing so, and remanded him.

THAMES.

THE WILD BELL—BRUTAL A SSAULT.—MehaeI Clark,
a stevedore, better known as the Wild Bull, a rough, brutal
fellow, was brought before Mr Paget charged with savagely
assaulting William Horner, a police constable No. 28 H.
It appeared that last night the prisoner was intoxicated,
and quarrelled with a woman in Back Church-lane, White-
chapel. He struck her, and knocked her head through a
pane of glass in the shop window of a woman named Sophia
Mackay, who went out and gave prisoner into the custody
of the complainant Horner. The constable advised the
prisoner to pay for the window he had broken and go home.
The prisoner resented this good advice by striking the
policeman, and then running at him " full butt
like a wild bull," which was explained that
Prisoner ran against the constable, and forced his head
against his stomach. This novel mode of attack injured
the policeman very much, and " took the wind out of him."
The prisoner then jumped on the constable's back, threw
him down, and kicked him several times. The constable
got up and was again thrown. This was repeated five or
six times. Horner would hava been subdued if another
police constable named George Plutfiald, No. 188 H, had
not come to his assistance. There was a rough mob of dis-
orderies and loose women always to be found in Back
Church-lane, who encouraged the "wild bull" to beat the
constable.

In answer to Mr Paget, the policeman Horner said he
had been to the doctor, and wag in great pain. He was
severely bruised.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was torn to pieces by the
police.

Mr Paget—No, you were not.
The prisoner—lia cut my head with a staff, and poked
his staff in my eye.

Mr Paget directed one of the officers of the court to
examine the prisoner's head, which he did very minutely,
and said there was no mark on it,

Mr Paget questioned the constables, who said no staff
was drawn.

Mr Paget said if a polic'man's staff bad been poked into
the prisoner's eye, there would have been a mark on it.
There was none. The prisoner had been guilty of a brutal
assault, for which he sentenced him to two months' impri-
sonment and hard labour, and seven days imprisonment,
in addition, for the damage he had done.

The Correctional Tribunal of DJuai last week
tried M. Schcrzer, stationmaster of the Northern Railway
at that place, on a charge of having infringed the privileges
of the post-office. M. Legros, a printer at Duuai, having
boon employed by M. Deruelle, a merchant of Arras, to
print a number of circulars, he executed the order and sent
them to M. Deruelle in a parcel by railway. The pest-office
authorities, considering the conveyance of these papers.as
an infringement of the law which gives them the sole right
of such carrying,
commenced proceedings against the sta-
tionmaster, but the Tribunal, atter hearing counsel, decided
that the circulars thus sent from a printer to his employer
were merely a bale of goods, which might 10 legally carried
by any person, and acconlitgly acquitted tho defendant.
