POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

GROSS CRUELTY TO ♦N OMNIBUS HORSE.—Charles
Hornblow, the driver of omnibus 7355, in the employ of the
General Omnibus Company, was charged by Mr. W. Love,
the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, with having cruelly tortured a horse
by working it while in an unfit state.
It appeared from the evidence of Sell, one of the society's
officers, that he saw the defendant driving the horse near
St. Martin's Church, the horse being attached to an omni-
bus plying between that point and Camden-town. The
horse was suffering from extreme lamer ese in one of its hind
feet, the fetlock joint being knuckled over, so that every
step the animal took it came in contact with the ground.
The horse appeared to be suffering greatly, and could
scarcely drag the defective leg after it; and, in addition to
this, both its hind legs were greatly swollen, and there
was a wound on one of them, brought on through the
animal kicking one leg against the other through weak.
ness. The animal was in a disgraceful state, and totally
unfit for work.

The defendant said he was obliged to drive the horses
given him to drive. He had been driving the horse Come
days, but his employers were going to have it killed, with a
number of others which were used up.

The magistrate said it was disgraceful on the part of any
omnibus proprietor to send out such horses for public use
He should fine the defendant lOs or 14 days only, not be-
lieving him to be the person most to blame, and the society
could proceed against the company ii they had any case
against them.

One of the road directors in the employ of the company
stepped forward, and said he would at once direct that the
horse should be taken sway and destroyed, and the society's
officer could see it done.
Mr. Love directed Sell to see this carried out.

The fine was paid.
ANOTHER CASE,—Frederick Briefly, badge 9,600, driver
of omnibus number 7,059, the property of Mr. Henry Ward,
of 9, Stanley-mews, Paddington, was charged before Mr.
Knox, at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
with cruelly ilitreating a horse, by working it in an unfit
state.

From the evidence of George Choyce, one of the society's
officers, it appeared that this morning about 9, while in com-
pany of Temperley, another officer, he saw the defendant
driving a horse attached to an omnibus with three or four
largo raw wounds on its shoulders, into which the collar
was pressing, and causing the poor animal great suffering.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the officer and Inspector Bowles
both stated that one of the wounds was visible to every•
body.
Defendant said he was not aware the horse was in such
a state.

Mr, Knox, having inspected the horse, said that anything
more cruel than to drive a horse with such wounds on it,
and with such a load, he could not conceive. He should
fine the defendant 205., or 14 days, and the proprietor of
the horse and the horse keeper could be summoned for send-
ing it out in such a state.
ROBBERY ♦ND Assix LT.—Ellen Williams, an unfortu-
nate, was charged with robbing Mr. George Wilson, of No.
3, College-street, Camden•town, of three sovereigns, at a
coffeehouse brothel, in Bear-street, Leicester-square, known
as Tabb's coffeehouse; and John Crawley, a powerfully
built young man, was charged with. assaulting the pro•

The prosecutor met the female in the Haymarket at an
early hour this morning, and accompanied her to a private
room at Tabb's coffee house, and after being there half an
hour he missei three sovereigns. He spoke to the land.
lord, who put both him and the female out of doors so as
not to attract the attention of the police to the place. On
getting outside the prosecutor was about to follow the
female, when the male prisoner came up and asked the pro-
secutor why he was doing so, and then struck the prose-
cutor on the head, and went off with the female. The
prosecutor then spoke to Crawley, 169 E, and be succeeded
in capturing the prisoners, and, on searching them, found
on the female LI 15s Id, and on the man 9e 31.
In answer to Nlr Knot the constable said the prosecutor
was quite sober at the time.

could prove a conviction against the female.
Mr Knox remanded the prisoners for a week.

he was an Irish Cockney, and a dock labourer, was brought
before Mr Partridge, charged with making a disturbance at
the Green Dragon public-house in High-street, Poplar,
and violently assaulting two police-constables.
Mr. George Frederick Wickers, the landlord of the
Green Dragon, said the prisoner went in there last night
in a state of intoxication and asked for a pint of beer, with
which he was supplied.

Mr. Partridge—You ought not to have served him while
he was inebriated, It is highly improper.
Mr. Vickers—One of my people served him and was
not aware he was tipsy. Directly I discovered he was
drunk I order' d him to leave the house. He refused, and
commenced fighting. I told Lim to leave the house,
which he refused to do, and commenced fighting. I re-
quested him to leave, and he said "No, I will not," and
threatened to punch my --.. head. I called in a police-
constable, who was ill, and had been laid up for some time,
