POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THROWING' A POLICEMAN OVER THE AREA RAILINGS.
—Robert England was placed at the bar, on remand,
charged with assaulting a person named Baker, and also
for violently assaulting a police-constable by throwing hire
over some area railings near Tottenham-court-road.
From the depositions taken on the first examination it
appeared that a disturbance took place in Tottenham court-
road during the great illumination night, when a fight en-
sued. A man was knocked down by another, and on the
defendant being secured ho was brought back and given
into the custody of police-constable 134 E, when a
desperate struggle took place between the constable and
the prisoner, the result being that the man took the police.
man up in his arms and deliberately threw him ever some
area railings near Store-street. Another constable then came
up, and the defendant was taken into custody as the person
who had committed the assault. A number of wit-
nesses were examined on both sides ; and two men
named Furnival and Percival corroborated the constables'
statement as to the prisoner being the man, whilst a number
of other witnesses swore positively that it was a companion
of England's, and rot him that struck the man in the face.
None of the defendant's witnesses knew who was the man
who threw this policeman over the area railing. The evi-
dence was extremely conflicting, and as the person assaulted
was not in attendance the case was adjourned in order that
some other persons who witnessed the disturbance might be
in attendance. The following additional witnesses were
examined this morning

John Baker, of Crown-place, Aldgate, said on the morn-
ing of the 11th he was proceeding along Tottenham-court-
road during the illuminations, when the defendant came up
with two women and pushed violently against him. lie
asked him what he did it for, when he knocked him (wit-
ness) down, and on getting up he gave him in charge to
134 E, when prisoner seized the constable by the leg and
collar and threw him over some area railings near Store-
street. He ran away for some distance, but witness pur-
sued him and succeeded in capturing him. The reason he
did not attend on the first examination was, that he was
unable to leave his bed owing to the injuries inflicted on
him by the prisoner. He was certain the prisoner was the
man who assaulted him and threw the constable over the
railings.

By Mr. Lewis—He never used any insulting expressions
towards prisoner.

A person named Fisher was here called into court, but
the witness swore he was not the person who assaulted him.
Henry Fisher, 11, Steven•street, Tottenham-court-road,
said—On the 11th of March he was in Tottenham-court-
road when the disturbance took place. He was going up
the road with some friends, their wives being behind them.
He heard a scream, and turning back he saw some men
assaulting their wives. He asked the men what they were
doing, when one of them spat in his face and struck him.
Ho (witness) struck him again in self-defence. The pri-
soner was not the person who assaulted Baker.

Mr. Henry—Do you know the man whom you struck.

Witness—Yes. ..He then pointed out Baker as the per-
son].
Mr. Henry—You don't know who put the constable over
the railings,
Witness—No, I did not.

Edward Fisher gave similar evidence as to the assault,
and swore positively that the defendant was the person who
threw the constable over the railing.
Mr. Henry said :t was a case of conflicting evidence, and
therefore ho should send the case to the sessions. The same
witnesses would be examined, then the jury would decide
the case.
