OURAGEOUS CONDUCT.—John Mulcahy, a rough look-
ing fellow, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being
drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the wife of Mr Tapps,
of the Bay Malton Tavern, Great Portland-street, and he
was also charged with wilfully breaking a looking glass
and foul glasses, the property of Mr Tapp.

past four yesterday afternoon the prisoner came in and
called for some ale, with which he was served. The priso-
ner then got into conversation with some persons in the
house, and after paying for the ale, called for some beer,
whioh he did not pay for. About half an hour afterwards
ho told the prisoner he had not paid for the beer, and that
he had better pay on delivery. The prisoner then became
very abusive, making use of the most abusive language
Ho then told the prisoner that he had better leave the house,
when ha went to a table and took up a pint pot. Thinking

it from him. The prisoner then took up another measure,
and flung it with great force at him, but fortunately he
avoided it, as also did Mrs Tapp, who was standing close
by, the measure passing not more than an inch from their
heads, and smashing a looking-glass and four glasses, a
piece of the looking-glass falling on Mrs Tapp's head and
cutting it. He then jumped over the counter and secured
the prisoner,• and prevented bin committing any further
violence, and sent for the police and gave him into custody.

most disgusting and abusive language. The prisoner was

and was asked civilly for the money. She was standing
close to the barman when the prisoner throw the measure,
which nearly struck her, and a piece of the looking-glass
fell on her head and cut it, making it bleed and leaving a
scar.
