POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 8.

BOW-STREET.—DISGRACEPUL CONDUCT OF GEN-
TLEMEN.-Mr Litton Wilson, who said he was a barrister
at law, and Mr thvid Sutton, were charged before Mr
Flowers with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting
Mr Brett, proprietor of the Pamphilon Coffeehouse, Bridges-
street, Covent-garden.

It appeared from the statement of the complainant that on
the previous evening the two defendants went into the
coffeehouse and ordered some steak and kidneys, It was not
then observed that they were under the influence of liquor,
and the order was therefore executed. Before five minutes
had elapsed, however, and when the cooking was nearly
finished, they commenced reeking a disturbance, and said
they would not have the refreshments which they had
ordered. Mr Brett was called to them, and he demanded
payment for the order, at the same time closing the door to
prevent them leaving, and directing one of his servants to
call in a police constable. They then struck at the defen-
dant, and knocked him down in one of the partitions of the
coffeeroom. Complainant endeavoured to save himself by
seizing Wilson's coat, upon which the latter fell also, and
injured his eye by coming into forcible collision with a rail,

of the defendants,

MARYLE B ONE . --CRUELTY TO AMMALS.—Frederick
Roy, a butler, was charged with cruelty to a cat.
It appeared that the defendant set his dog at the cat,
which was worried to death. He afterwards said that what
he had done did not bring him within the act, as it was only
a cat he had killed.

The Magistrate said the defendant must disabuse his
mind of that idea, for any cruelty inflicted upon cats ren-
dered the party or parties aiding and abetting that cruelty
to punishment under the act. The accused must pay a
penalty of 10s, or in default be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for 14 days.
The fine was paid.

CLERKENW ELL.- FRACAS BETWEEN BETTING MEN

—Frederick Mattan, an auctioneer, was charged before Mr
D'Eyncourt with having assaulted Robert Grimier, a car-
penter.

The complainant said—On Monday, the 27th of June, I
was al the Compasses public-house, Hornsey. Defendant
was there at the bar drinking. I asked him when he was
going to Mr Welch's to settle our account. I had made a
bet with him on the Derby, and he now owes me £l4. He
said when I paid his brother £2 7s 6d I held of his in the
sweep at Mr Welch's. I said I would stake his brother's
money if he s ould stake mine, or if he mould give me a bill
at three months. I said if you don't agree to that I shall
think you don't mean paying. He made some remark, and
I said, "If you do mean paying like an honest man why
don't you go and pay my brother-in-law's account at Ep-
som," He said, "I do not owe the money," I said " You
do." He then said, "If you say so again I shall punch
you." I said he did owe me the money, and he immediately
hit me two violent blows in the mouth and knocked me
against the counter. Blood flowed from my mouth, my
lip was badly cut inside, and I felt blood rush to my head.
I felt very ill after, and could not sleep all night. I am
subject to fits, but have lately felt much better ; but
immediately after the blow I felt a fit was coming on,
and in less than 24 hours after the assault I had a fit worse
than I ever had before. I was not able to work the follow-
ing day. A constable picked me up in the street whilst I
was under the fit.

This statement haring been confirmed by two witnesses,
The defendant said be could not deny that he had struck
the complainant, or that he owed him some money arising
out of betting transactions. That money he was ready to
pay as soon as the complainant settled with his (defendant's)
brother.

The complainant—l only owe him £2, and you owe me
£l4.

Mr D'Eyncourt said an assault had been committed,
and ordered defendant to pay a fine of £2 and costs, or in
default to be imprisoned for 21 days.
CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—Ann Bune, 18, a servant, was
charged with assaulting Francis John Eadie, a clerk, re-
siding at Stock Orchard-crescent, Holloway.
The complainant said he was a clerk to his father, a
leather salesman. On the previous day he was in the stable
when the defendant came in and demanded some money.
He toll her that he had not got it, but that if she went
over to his father's house he would give it to her. She
then shut the stable door, rushed at him, ill-used him, and
he was afraid that she was going to kill him, as she had
threatened to shoot him.

In cross-examination the complainant said that the de-
haA hpcm servant to his father. had had a child,
which she said was his; and he had given her money
because he was afraid that his father would know. She
had lent him money, but it was not for the purpose of get-
ting a marriage license. She might say that he had pro-
mised her marriage, but he was not quite certain whether
he had or not. ,

Mr D'Eyncourt (to the defendant)—lf you have any
claims on the complainant you must not go to his house
and annoy him. Will you promise not to annoy him any
more ?
Defendant—l will.

Mr D'Eyncourt—Keep away
discharged. from him; you are now

had supported and encouraged,

escapes our comprehension. uow
can a man so clear-

in the interest of his
beloved cotton piece-goods, it is
necessary that Europe
should be pacific ; that it cannot
be
one Power e pacified unless it be
free ; and that a state of things when
contem-
plates and carries out the extermination of another is neither
liberty nor peace. The peace at
any
price doctrines, of
which Mr. Cobden has made hiroseif
the apostle, are not
only selfish and immoral, they are also profoundly absurd.
You declare you won't fight, and stick

don't mean to use them ? The cost heavy and brings in
nothing. If you adopt the policy of Mr. Cobden, at least
have the courage to follow it to the
end. Suppress your
fleet and your army, honest John—your credit cannot pos-
sibly fall lower in Europe than it isnow—and you will
have economised from seven to eight hundred millions.
With that comfortable sumyou will be able to weave cotton
night-caps for all the long ears in the universe ; and if the
a
barbarians should attack you you can lways put off their
attacks by paying tribute. That is the sum total of the
doctrines of Mr. Cobden."
