POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Dan

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A. RUFFIAN PROPERLY PUNISHED.—Fred. Compton,
a powerfully-built young man, described as a bill-poster,
living at No. 1, Queen-street, St. James's, was charged
before ➢lr Knox, with savagely assaulting a young woman
named Elizabeth Thompson.

The complainant, a young woman, said that on Sunday
morning about four o'clock she was standing at her mother's
door in Stacey-street, when the defendant came up to her in
a menacing manner. Thinking he was going to strike her
she said " Don't hit me." The defendant replied, "No I
will not hit you, I will kick you," and then gave her a
violent kick on the hand. She fell to the ground, and the
prisoner then kicked her on the nose and also on her body,
The complainant showed her hand to the magistrate,
and there was a bad wound on IL

Mr Knot asked the complainant whether she knew the
defendant, and she said she had " kept company" with
him. She had not seen him since the previous night, and.
she had given him no provocation whatever. The defendant
had frequently beat her before, and once she charged him
with using a poker to her.

Defendant asked the complainant whether a roan was
not talking to her at the time, and she denied it, and said
the defendant often followed her in the streets and threat-
ened to have her life.

Mr. Knox inquired of the complainant whether elle lived
with the defendant, and she said she did not.

Walter Sheppard, b 5 F, deposed that on going to the
place he found the complainant on the ground and the de-
fendant k eking her. The defendant stated that the com-
plainant had been with another man.

The defendant said that what the complainant had re-
ceived she wholesomely deserved. It was her own fault—
she was in the habit of following him.

Mr Knox said he did not care what the complainant had
done. The defendant had no right to take the law into his
own hands under any circumstances. If the complainant
had annoyed him he could have had protection from the
Court, and certainly was not justified in kicking the com-
plainant in the abominable way 111 had done. He should,
commit the defendant for three months with hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.
VIOLENT ASSAULT DT A PRIVATE OF THE COLDSTREAM
GUARDS.—James Pastel], a private in the above regiment,
was charged before Mr Selfe with the following assault
Henry Peckard, a waiter at Cremorne Gardens, stated
that at about half-past 12 o'clock this morning he was
going along Millbank, nearly opposite the barracks of the
regiment, when he came up to the prisoner who was in the
company of another private of the same regiment. Com-
plainant was in conversation with a friend, when as they
were passing the prisoner he held up a cane he had in his
hand. Neither he nor his friend said a word to the soldiers
who followed complainant and his friend for about 50
yards, When the soldiers got up to them they were talk-
ing about the prisoner holding tip his cane. They
never said a word to the prisoner who gave him (com-
plainant) a severe brow with his fist on his cheek.
The blow was so violent that it caused the
blood to flow, and complainant was knocked down. Com-
plainant got up and asked him what that was for. He then
received another severe blow on his cheek.
Mr Selfe—Had you given him any provocation ?
Complainant--None at all, sir. My friend was also struck
by the prisoner, who was drunk.
Prisoner said that he was struck by the complainant,
Complainant denied that he assaulted the prisoner, and
said that he felt great pain from the blow, and had his
clothes saturated with blood.
James Buxton, also a waiter at Cremorne, corroborated
the evidence.
Mr Selfe asked a corporal of the regiment, who came with
the prisoner, what sort of character he bore.
The corporal said he was an indifferent character,
Prisoner was sent to prison for 14 days.

property of John Vine, a seaman belonging to the schooner
Railway, in the London Dock.

shire, and was hard up. The mate treated him with a
supper and grog, and told him if he would come on board

A SLIGUT 111;;TAKE.—A young woman came before Mr
Partridge and said she was married on Saturday morning
in Bromley Church. Her husband's name and her own
name were c irefully written on paper, but the clergyman
who officiated at the ceremony made a mistake in entering
the name in the register-book. Her maiden name was
Hammersley. The parson entered the name as Hemmersly.
She put in her marriage certificate.
Mr Partridge said he could not assist the applicant. The
mistake of an E for the A would not affect the validity of
the marriage. He advised the applicant to make a declara-
tion of the mistake, and he would sign it for lien
