POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH••STREET.

COMMITTAL WITHOUT FINES FOR SAVAGE ASSAULTS
ON PARK CONSTABLES.—John Porricott, a rough fellow,
was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly conduct in
Kensington Gardens and assaulting two of tho park con-
stables.

Benjamin Sims, park.constablo, No. 40, said that on the
previ9us afternoon he had his attention called to the pri-
soner by a lady, who said that she had been frightened by
the prisoner ruching up to her wad throwing his arms
about. He watched the prisoner and saw him annoy
some gentlemen, who were obliged to leave the path in
consequence. He told the prisoner that he had better
leave the gardens, when he began squaring up to him.
succeeded in getting the prisoner to the Serpentine bridge,
when two other park constables came to his assistance, and
while taking the prisoner, who had been drinking, across
Hyde-park, he violently kicked two of the constables.
They were then obliged to get the stretcher and strap the
prisoner down before they could get him to the station.
Edward Robinson, park constable, No. 41, said that while
taking the prisoner across Hyde-park, and just as he passed
the Magazine Barracks, the prisoner gave him a dreadful
kick on the inside of the thigh which had almost disabled
him that morning from walking,
Richard Nuke, park constable, No. 43, proved receiving
a severe kick near the groin from the prisoner.
Mr. Knox said the prisoner had made a nice job of it,
He might have cost the two constables their lives.
Noke said the prisoner insulted everybody he came near,
and besides the kick he gave him in the thigh, kicked his
hand. _ _

Prisoner remarked that all he could say was that he was

very sorry,
Mr. Knox said that was all very well, but the prisoner, a
fellow with a pair of boots fit for a Cornish wrestler, had
kicked two men who were only doing their duty, and if the
kick had been an inch higher he might have been before
him for murder. He should commit the prisoner, without
the option of a fine, for two months' hard labour—a month
for each assault.
CARRIAGE ROBBERY.—Richard Manners, a lad, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a cloth cape, the
property of Admiral William Hall, from a brougham in
New Bond-street.
It appears that the brougham of Admiral Hall was stand-
ing in New Bond-street, when the coachman, Mr. Smith,
of 3, Earl-street, Kensington, saw the prisoner leaving the
brougham with the cape in his hand, which he was busily
rolling up. The coachman immediately pursued him, and
he was taken into custody,
, The prisoner was remanded.
