POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Charles James Wainson,
robust, daring-looking fellow, was placed at the bar
before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with having burgla,-
riously entered the dwelling-house of Mr. Martin Wil-
liams, a master carpenter, in Byde's-place, Shaditch,
for the purpose of committing felony, and also with
cutting and wounding the prosecutor with intent to
murder him.

The prosecutor, an elderly man, stated that while
seated in the parlour, on the first floor of his house,
between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of Satur-
day se'ennight, he was alarmed by the sudden bursting
open of the street door, which was immediately after-
wards cautiously closed on the inside, and secured
with the bolts and chain. Feeling greatly alarmed, as
there was no one but himself in the house, he hastily
caught up a knife from the table, and at the same
moment the parlour door was thrown open, and the
prisoner, who was an entire stranger to him, entered
the apartment. On asking who he was, and what he
wanted, the prisoner advanced towards him in a menac-
ing manner, and exclaimed, " You know me well
enough ; I want your money." Witness immediately
rushed to the window and raised an alarm by dashing
his elbow through one of the panes, but had no sooner
done so than the prisoner sprang upon him and wrested
the knife out of his hand, with the observation, " It's no
use your making a noise, for there are three or four
more of us below, and I have got a pistol." A des-
perate struggle then ensued between them, in the course
of which he managed to break loose from the prisoner,
and made his way into the passage, but was overtaken by
his assailant, who grasped him by the throat, which he
compressed so tightly that he was almost strangled.
Witness, however, succeeded in reaching the kitchen,
which was on the same floor, and as the prisoner still
retained his hold of him, he dragged him to the window
and dashed out two more panes of glass, at the same time
raising the cry of " police' and "murder." In order to
stifle his cries, the prisoner placed his hand over his
mouth, and pressed it with such violence that he forced
out one his teeth. After a protracted contest, he ma-
naged to throw the prisoner on the floor, but was
dragged down after him, and they continued fighting
and grappling together until he was rescued by a police-
man, who forced his way into the house, and took the
prisoner into custody. Witness then discovered that a
portion of the floor was covered with blood, proceeding
from two deep and dangerous wounds in the head, which
he had received during the encounter, and he was sub-
sequently conveyed to the London Hospital, where he I
had ever since remained.

The prisoner declined offering any defence, and was
committed to Newgate for trial,

SOUTHWARK.—Emma Wilson, a common prosti-
tute, was placed at the bar, before Mr. A'Beckett,
charged with stealing a watch from the person of Mr.
James Bailey. The prisoner was further charged
,with
violently assaulting the acting inspector and the female
searcher subsequently to her having been taken into
custody.
The complainant stated that on the previous night, as
he was walking along the London-road, he was accosted
by the prisoner, who wanted him to accompany her
home. He refused to have anything to say to her, but
she still kept by his side, and as he was in the act of
crossing to the opposite side of the way to avoid her im-
portunities, she suddenly made a snatch at his watch,
which was in his waistcoat pocket, and dragged it out
by the chain. She then attempted to run away, but he
seized her, and while they were struggling a policeman
came up and took her into custody. A watch, to which
was attached a portion of a guard, was produced, and
identified by the complainant.
A policeman stated that on hearing the noise he ran
up, and on being informed of the nature of the charge he
seized the prisoner's hand, in which she held a watch,
and tried to take it from her. She, however, dropped it
down an area grating on which she stood, and he after-
wards went down and picked it up, and it was claimed
by the complainant. When at the station-house, acting-
inspector Timowell directed that the prisoner should be
searched before she was placed in one of the cells. For
that purpose she was taken into a private room, but had
no sooner got there than she flew at the searcher, and
struck her a violent blow on the eye that completely
closed it up. The poor woman's cries brought the acting
inspector to her assistance, and when he interfered, and
attempted to take a gold ring (suspected to be stolen) off
the finger of the prisoner, she struggled to prevent him,
and inflicted a bite upon the fleshy part of his right hand,
which gave him great pain, and caused a severe wound.
The prisoner was committed for both offences.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-DEAFNESS—NEW DISCOVERY.-
39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, observe, opposite the
York Hotel. The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary
powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of
the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, pro-
duced. Being of the same colour as the skin, it is not
perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at
church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensa-
tion of singing noises in the ears are entirely removed ;
and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be
desired. The Royal Exhibition- Valuable newly-in-
vented, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the
size of a walnut, to discern minute objects at a distance
of from four to five miles, which is found to be invaluable
for yachting, and to sportsmen, gentlemen, and game-
keepers. Telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
power that some, 34 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars. They supersede every other kind, and are
of all sizes, for the waistcoat-pocket, shooting, military
purposes, &c. Opera and Race-course Glasses with won-
derful power ; a minute object can be clearly seen from
10 to 12 miles distant. Invaluable newly-invented
Spectacle.—S. and B. Solomons, aurists and opticians,
