POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

LTREET OUTRAGE ON A FEMALE.—William Jefferson,
cabinetmaker, of 41, Bloomsbury, and George Hulberte,
and Alfred Hall, printers, of 5, Golden-place; Golden-
square, were charged before Mr. Ty rwhitt with disorderly
conduct in Glasshouse-street, Regent-street; Hall was
further charged with assaulting Mr. Edward Lucas, of 26,
King-street, Regent-street, and Hulberte with assaulting a
young female named Rosina Perry, living in Oxford-
terrace, Chelsea.
Morris Robinson, 163 C, said that about a quarter past
one this morning he saw Jefferson and Hulberte fighting
together in Glasshouse-street, both of them being on the
ground, and he then, as there was a great crowd round
them and a good deal of disorder, took them into custody,
After getting to the station a young woman charged Hu'
berte with assaulting her.

Rosina Perry said that while passing Hulberte in Glass-
house-street, having a female in her company, Hulberte
made use of a disgusting expression, and on her asking him
why he did so, he struck her on the cheek, and then gave
her a severe blow on the nose, smothering her with blood.
She was insensible for a moment from the blow, and after-
wards went to the station, where she heard Hulberte had
been taken, and made the charge against him,
In answer to Hulberte,

The young woman said that she had not given him the
slightest provocation whatever.
Mr. Edward Lucas said that while on his way home
through Glasshouse-street, he heard a female crying mur-
der and police, and this attracted his attention to the com-
plainant and the defendants, and he saw Ilulberte strike
the young woman and cause her to stagger. He heard
Jefferson say to Hulberte that "it was unmanly to strike a
female like that," and then Hulberte and Jefferson got
fighting and went down, and before Jefferson could get on
his legs again Hulberte knocked him down again. The
police then came up and took Hulberte and Jefferson into
custody, and while they were doing so Hall walked up to
him and struck him (Mr. Lucas) in the face, and the con-
stable having seen him do it at once took him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Lucas said he had given
Hall no provocation, without he was offended at his saying
" Dont kick the man when he is down," Hall being in
Hulberte's company, and assisting him while the fighting
was going on.
A constable proved seeing Hall strike Mr. Lucas, and the
female who was in company with Perry corroborated his
statement.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was claar that Jefferson was an in-
jured person, and he should at once dischar„-ze him.
Hulberte entered into a long defence, the effete of it being
only to make the case clearer against him than before. lie
admitted that he struck Jefferson, but not till after he was
struck by him, and wished everybody to know that his
motto was "Nemo me impune lacessit."
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Hulberte £3 for the assault on the
female and Hall, and £1 for assaulting Mr. Lucas.
