POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday Mr. Hicks, an actor at Sadler's Wells Theatre,
was brought before Messrs. Laing and Benett, on a war-
rant charging him with having assaulted a person named
Jacques. The complainant stated that a few evenings ago,
while attending to his business (an assistant carpenter) on
the stage of the above place of amusement the defendant
rushed upon him in the utmost rage, tore his shirt, threw
him into a fountain of water behind the scenes, and finally
kicked him in a most violent manner.
Two witnesses having given corroborative evidence, the
defendant was called upon for his answer to the charge.
He replied that the provocation he received was of a very
gross kind, and which he considered fully justified him in
inflicting the chastisement sworn to. He (Mr. Hicks) is
intimatey acquainted with Mr. Thomas, a gentleman much
respected, whose daughter is engaged as a dancer in the
establishment to which he is attached. This child, who is
only twelve years of age, witness, in consequence of his
close connection with her family, had much noticed, and
rendered all the assistance he could during her perform-
ances, which kindness the complainant had construed into
base motives, and reported to her father that he had seen
him (defendant) behave indecently to her. This rumour
had also spread in Clerkenwell and Islington, through the
prosecutor, and unless it was proved to be totally ground-
less he would be lost ; for without an unsullied character
his talent would avail nothing.
Mr. LAING remarked that if the defendant could show
that the complainant had wilfully misrepresented his ac-
tions, the provocation would, indeed, be great.
Mr. Hicks said he had plenty of witnesses, and he called
Miss Thomas's father, who said that Jacques accosted him,
and, after observing that the defendant was the greatest
villain under the canopy of heaven, told witness that he
had seen the scoundrel take liberties with his daughter.
This information greatly shocked witness, as Mr. Hicks
stood high in his opinion, and at the earliest opportunity
he and Mrs. Thomas, in as delicate a manner as possible,
questioned their child, whose answers gave them perfect
satisfaction of the defendant's innocence.
Mr. LAING—Then, you don't believe that there are
any grounds for the accusation ? Mr. Thomas—Not the
slightest.
The Magistrates, having consulted together, should not
fine the defendant, but refer the case to the Sessions,
when the complainant might indict, if he thought propel,
and they ordered the defendant to find common bail, to
answer any charge which Jaques might think proper to
prefer against him.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
Mr. White, bookseller, of the Haymarket, summoned a
hackney-coachman named Crossley before Mr. CHAMBERS
for abusive language. The defendant admitted the offence,
and pleaded intoxication.
Mr. CHAMBERS said Mr. White deserved great credit
for the step he had taken to abate a nuisance. By way of
deterring others, he should fine the defendant 40s. and
costs.

Mr. CHAMBERS was ultimately induced to mitigate the
penalty one-half, in consequence of Mr. White's represen-
tation in behalf of the defendant.

ludicrous circumstances :
