SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBING A PHOTOGRAPHER.
—Edward Korner, a young man described as an engineer,
and'who gave an address in Bridge-court, Westminster,
was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing a lens of the
value of £l, the property of Mr Morris Rouse, photo-
grapher, of 376, Oxford-street.
Mr Rouse said—On Sunday, July 17th last, about one
o'clock, the prisoner came into in place to have
his likeness taken, There were several other per-
sons present waiting to have their portraits taken. The
prisoner said he was in no hurry, and he gave his turn up
to every one and waited till the last. I took the prisoner's
likeness, and ho then said he would have some cartes de
visite as well. I went into the dark room with the likeness.
and when I came out with it the prisoner had "hooked it"
with the lens from the camera. I ran downstairs with the
likeness in my hand and saw the prisoner running. I cried
*Stop thief," but it was no use. I then took copies of
the likenesss, and sent them round to the different
stations. We heard no more of the matter. Yesterday, about
the same time as on the former occasion, in walked the pri-
soner into my room, As soon as he saw it he tried to

" hook" it, but I called my dooreman and he prevented him
doing so. I then went for a constable and gave the pri..
soner into custody.
Mr Tyrwhitt—What did tho prisoner say P
Mr Rouse— Ido not remember. I was very nervous.
On asking him if he remembered the likeness, ho said he
did not remember me. I am positive the prisoner is the
same man, and I have his portrait.
The portrait was handed to the magistrate. It was a very
good portrait of the prisoner.
The Prisoner—l have several times had my likeness taken
at the same place, and the portrait produced may be a spoilt
one the prosecutor had by him. I know nothing about the
lens, I can assure you.

Mr Tyrwhitt—l shall remand the prisoner for a week,
and I will take his own bail.

Mr Rouse—l have witnesses here who will say the pri-
soner only had his likeness once taken.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.—Henirich
Ullanger, a German musician, was brought before Mr
Paget, charged with violently assaulting William Jenkins,
a police constable, No. 220 11.
On Saturday night the prisoner came home to his lodg-
ings in Charles-street, Gunfield street, Commercial-road, in
a state of intoxication, and broke the pannel of the street
door, because he was refused admittance by a young man
named John Muller, his fellow lodger. Muller called upon
a police constable to remove the prisoner, and he requested
him to go away. The prisoner refused to le,ve,
and abused the constable with all the English slang,
scurrility, and expletives at his command. The
constable then took him into custody, and the
prisoner then raised a kind of German war• whoop,
which brought soven or eight of his countrymen to the
spot. They made a furious attack on Jenkins, who defended
himself single-handed until he was thrown down. The
prisoner knelt on the policeman, and seized him by the
throat and attempted to strangle him, in which he would
have succeeded if two "civilians," as the policemen do.
scribed them, and not come to his assistance. They pulled
the prisoner off the constable, and after a furious contest
secured him. The constable, a welluregulated and kindly
man, was very much injured.

Nicholas Islagrath, an Irishman, of No. 4, New-street,
Commercial-road, saw the prisoner seize the policeman by
the throat and make an attempt to choke him.
John Muller, a German, gave similar evidence, and
added, "There were seven or eight Germans on the
policeman all at once. The prisoner knocked him down
and then seized his throat. The policeman's tongue was
coming out of his mouth.
Elizabeth Ullinger, an Englishwoman, married to the
prisoner's brother, swore that all the violence was on the
part of the constable.
Mr Paget did not believe the witness Elizabeth Ullinger,
and said it was clearly proved many of the prisoner's coun-
trymen attacked the constable. He sentenced the prisoner
to two months' imprisonment and hard labour.
