POLIO INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A FIRST APPEARANCE IN PUBLIC, AND AN UNFA-
VOURABLE ONE.—Joseph England, tailor, 254, Oxford-
street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
Police constable Player, 309 A. _ . .

Player said that about a quarter to one that morning his
attention was called to a large crowd of prostitutes and
others outside a public-house in the Haymarket, and the
defendant, who was making a great noise at the top of his
voice. He requested the defendant to go away, when he
refused, making use of very bad language, and struck him
a violent blow in the mouth, cutting his lip, and causing
his mouth to bleed a good deal, He then took the defen-
dant into custody.

Defendant said he believed he had too much to drink,
and remembered nothing about it. It was his first appear-
ance in public, and he hoped the magistrate would look

over it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was impossible to look over it. The
police must be protected, and if they were not protected
from the ruffianism of the Haymarket, they would soon be
knocked off the force altogether. The defendant must pay
405., or suffer 14 days' imprisonment.

CAUTION TO CAB PROPRIETORS AND DurvEßs.—Albert
Widderson, horse keeper, in the employ of Henry Begent,
cab proprietor, of Great Edward-street, Cumberland-
market, attended before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the com-
plaint of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of having
caused and procured a horse to be tortured.
A man named Banford, badge 3,780, the driver of the
horse, was charged with cruelty in driving it in a totally
unfit state on a previous day, and Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the
owner of the horse or the person sending it out to be sum-
moned.

Mr, Cherry, the veterinary surgeon, and Smith, one of
the society's officers, having deposed to the condition of the

horse,

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was quite evident to every one that
the horse was unfit for work, as it was lame and in a ♦ery
bad condition. In these cases he always considered that
the proper persons to summon were the proprietors or per-
sons who sent out the horses. They treated the poor
animals as if they were pieces of wood or iron, and only
cared for them when they could get work out of them. He
was aware the drivers could not help themselves. They
were obliged to take the horses given to them or lose their
employ. He should fine each of the defendants, Banford
and Widderson, 10s, or 14 days, and he would advise them
to try a summons in the county court to recover the money
of their master if he did not pay the fines.
