POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING THE
POLICE.-Mr Thomas Sheffield Robinson, of 94, Wimpole-
street, Cavendish-square, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt
with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting Police-
constables Alfred Austin, 188 C, and Samuel Yeo, 316 A.
The defendant was in Piccadilly this morning about 2
o'clock, having a dispute with a prostitute and surrounded
by a number of others, and refused to go away when
requested by the constables, he being very drunk at the
time. Finding expostulation useless, the constables were
about to take him into custody when he struck both with a
cane which he bad in his hand, and became so obstreperous
that it required foul constables to get him to the station.
In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, one of the constab!eseaid he
had seen the defendant about the neighbourhood of the
Haymarket all the evening, and had several times advised
him to go away, as ho was causing a disturbance with the
females, with whom he teemed to be well acquainted.

The defendant said it was the females who caused the
disturbance. They accused him of something which WEB
not truo. If he struck the police it was not intentional.
Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant lOs or 14 days,
The fine was paid.
