A RUPPIAN.—George Hust, a journeyman butcher, was
brought before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk, dis-
orderly, and violently assaulting James Blackwell, police
sergeant, 4 H, and William Chandler, constable, 117 H.
Yesterday afternoon the two police officers were on their
way from this court to the Leman-street station-house,
ledwwith several persons who were
his re-entering the house
when they saw the prisoner turned out of a beer-shop in
' the Commercial road, He was drunk and very disorderly,
eHxeerfteiungg selhttheamndsvters tougg prevent
from which he had been ejected. A scene of confusion
and riot ensued, and Blackwell and Chandler promptly
interfered. The prisoner made a violent attack on both
officers. He threw Chandler, and when he got up again
kicked him on the belly. Chandler was ;saved from injury
by his watch, the glass and face of which were broken.
Blackwell was not so fortunate, he was severely kicked
about the legs and body, and there was a severe bruise on
one of his legs.* The prisoner kicked, plunged, and fought
desperately, and it required the united exertions of five
police officers to secure him. He was put into a cell in
the station house without his name and address being
taken, in consequence of his violence. Another man en-
couraged the prisoner in his violence in the road, and said
"Rick them, serve them out, kill them." Blackwell was in
considerable danger.
The prisoner said he had been ill-used and kicked in
the station-hours, and on this charge being investigated
and proved to be false, he said he was very tipsy, and was
sorry for what ho had done.

Mr Paget said his only doubt was whether he ought not
to send the case to the sessions. It was a very bad case,
indeed, and it was . quite necessary to protect the police
from drunken and disorderly ruffians. He sentenced the
prisoner to two months' imprisoment and hard labour.
