MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SINGULAR REQUEST,—Two urchins, named Dennis
Healey and John Driscoll, living in St. Giles, were charged
before Mr Tyrwhitt with picking the pocket of a female
named Flaxman.

Thomas Humphreys, of No. 3, Brownlow-street, said
that about 10 o'clock that morning he was in Denmark-
street, when he saw a female (Mrs Flaxman) on the wheel
of a van, in which there were a number of children going
for an excursion. He observed Healey feeling the female's
dress, Driscoll standing close by Healey at the time.
The boys suddenly ran away, and hearing the
female had been robbed, ho pursued them into
Queen street, Dean-street, where he saw the purse produced
dropped by one of them, but he could not say which,
Mrs Fiaxman identified the purse and contents as her
property,

Mr Tyrwhitt—Do the boys want to say anything ?
Healey—Yes, we wants three years.
Tyrwhitt—lt is a rather extraordinary request ; but
I think under the circumstances it would be about as good
a thing as could be done, and with that view I shall remand
them for a week, when their parents can attend.
The boys, who seemed very pleased at the result, were
then remanded.

ASSAULTING AND THREATENING A PROSECUTRIX.—
Elizabeth M'Donald, a young woman, was charged before
Mr Tyrwhitt on a warrant with assaulting and threatening
a young woman named Minnie Wilson.
The complainant was prosecutrix in April last of a man
named Howard: the keeper of a night house in the Hay-
market, for taking her away from her father's house, she
being under the age of 16 at the time. Howard was tried
at the Central Criminal Court, convicted, and sentenced to
two years' imprisonment.
The complainant said that in April last, and while
Howard's trial was pending, the prisoner came up to her
in Russell-street, about 8 o'clock in the evening, and said,
" I will have your life it you appear against Howard," at
the same time striking her in a most violent manner. and
giving her a frightful black eye, and knocking her down
senseless. She applied to Mr Knox, the magistrate
who was then sitting, and he granted the warrant against
the prisoner.
Mr Tyrwhitt asked how it was that the warrant was not
executed before.

Davey, 65 C, one of the warrant cfficers, said that not
knowing where the prisoner resided, he was unable to find
the prisoner till last night.

Mr Tyr Nhitt inquired of the complainant if the prisoner
had done anything to her since April.
The complainant said that on Saturday morning last she
was passing the end of St. Martin-street with a gentleman,
when the prisoner took out a knife and exclaimed, " You
-, I mean to have your life," at the same time making a
stab, which the gentleman received on his arm,
The prisoner said the complainant was living with the
person she formerly lived with. She had no wish to hurt
the complainant.
Mr Tyrwhitt thought if what the prisonersaid was true
it was very likely she had an ill-feeling towards the com-
plainant, and he should therefore order her to find one bail
to beep the peace towards the complainant for two months.

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL OUT —Patrick Hagan, a powerfu'
fellow, was charged with the following disgraceful con.
duct :

Mrs Bullock, the wife of the proprietor of the Wiltshire
Brewery, Simmond-street, Chelsea, said that she knew the
defendant, whom she had been obliged to eharp at this
court with misconduct a couple of years ago. He had been
to the house two or three times since, but she had inva-
riably refused to serve him. Last night he came with some
others and called for drink, but she refused to give it them
for two reasons, firstly, because they were drunk, and, se-
condly, because they were with him. They then went into
one of the public rooms, and on hearing a great noise she
went to the spot and found they had done a great deal of
malicious damage, for which she now sought recompense.
Mr Arnold asked whether she could prove that the de-
fendant did any of it ?
Mrs Bullock replied that when she entered the room she
found the gas fittings, which had keen torn down, in the
defendant's hand, the door had been broken and the defend-
ant and his companions were preparing to burn a box.
Mr Arnold inquired whether they gave any reason for
this unlawful and disgraceful conduct.
Mrs Bullock replied that the only reason that could be
assigned for it was that she would not serve them. The
defendant seized a quart pot and threatened to dash her
brains out, and she was obliged to leave, fearing he would
carry his threat into execution.

A police constable proved that after committing the
dar..age in question the defendant and his companions left
the house. From informatics received he apprehended the
defendant shortly afterwards.
Defendant denied the charge, and said he could call the
other men who were with him as witnesses.

Mr Arnold said he would give him an opportunity of
doing so, and remanded him.

THAMES.

THE WILD BULL—BRUTAL ASSAULT. Michael Clark,
a stevedore, better known as the Wild Bull, a rough, brutal
fellow, was brought before Mr Paget charged with savagely
assaulting William Horner, a police constable No. 28 H.

It appeared that last night the prisoner was intoxicated,
and quarrelled with a woman in Back Church-lane, White••
chapel. He struck her, and knocked her head through a
pane of glass in the shop window of a woman named Sophia
Mackay, who went out and gave prisoner into the custody
of the complainant Horner. The constable advised the
prisoner to pay for the window he had broken and go home.
The prisoner resented this good advice by striking the
policeman, and then running at him " full butt
like a wild bull," which was explained that
prisoner ran against the constable, and forced his head
against his stomach. This novel mode of attack injured
the policeman very much, and " took the wind out of him."
The prisoner then jumped on the constable's back, threw
him down, and kicked him several times. The constable
got up and was again thrown. This was repeated five or
six times. Horner would have been subdued if another
police constable named George Plutfield, No. 188 H, had
not come to his assistance. There was a rough mob of dis-
orderies and loose women always to be found in Back
Church-lane, who encouraged the " wild bull" to beat the
constable.

In answer to Mr Paget, the policeman Horner said he
had been to the doctor, and wab in great pain. He was
severely bruised.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was torn to pieces by the
police.
Mr Paget—No, you were not.
The prisoner—He cut my head with a staff, and poked
his staff in my eye.
Mr Paget directed one of the officers of the court to
examine the prisoner's head, which he did very minutely,
and said there was no mark on it.

Mr Paget questioned the constables, who said no staff
was drawn.

Mr Paget said if a policeman's staff had been poked into
the prisoner's eye, there would have been a mark on it.
There was none. The prisoner had been guilty of a brutal
assault, for which he sentenced him to two months' impri-
sonment and hard labour, and seven days' imprisonment,
in addition, for the damage he had done.

The Correctional Tribunal of Douai last week
tried 7A. Scherzer, stationmaster of the Northern Railway
at that place, on a charge of having infringed the privileges
of the pest-office. M. Legros, a printer at Douai, having
been employed by M. Deruelle, a merchant of .Arras, to
print a number of circulars, he executed the order and sen•
them to M. Deru3lle in a parcel by railway. The post-office
authorities, considering the conveyance of these papers at
an infringement of the law which gives them the sole right
of such carrying, commenced proceedings against the sta-
tionmaster, but the Tribunal, after hearing counsel, decided
that the circulars thus sent from a printer to his employer
were merely a bale of goods, which might he legally carried
by any person, and accordingly acquitted the defendant.
The Paris corn.tnarket has been inactive during
the past week, with scarcely any
change in quota-

kilos, but inferior qualities are worth only 27f s,rc. There
is consequently a decline of 500 from the prices of last week,
Rye remains unvaried at 16f COO the n 5 kilos. ; barley,
16150 c to 171 the 100 kilos. ; oats, 15f sf)e to 16150 c the
100 kilos. At the last cattle market of Sceaux business wee
dull, and prices had a slight downward tendency. Oxen:
sold at If 40e to 11 41c the kilo. ; calves, If 26c to if 61c ;
sheep, 1128 e to if 60c. At Poissy the prices were if 4c to
