POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN THE HAYMARHET.—Henry Jones and
Charles Jones, two fashionably dressed young men, the
former of whom gave the address Alfred-terrace, St. John's-
wood, the other refusing his address, were charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly in the Hay-
market, and assaulting sergeant Howe, 21, Layland 55 C,
and Hawkins 29 C.

Sergeant Howe said that at a quarter to four that morn•
ing he saw the two prisoners in the Haymarket, along with
two Life Guardsmen and two females. They were pushing
people about, causing a great disturbance, and on request-
ing them to go away they refused. Upon taking the pri-
soner Henry into custody he struck him and they fell to-
gether. He, however, got assistance, and they were then
taken to the station, but not till they had assaulted two
other constables.

Hawkins, 29 C, proved going to the assistance of the ser-
geant, there being a crowd of 200 persons assembled. On
the sergeant taking Henry into custody, Charles came up
and interfered, and on his telling him not to do so he in-
stantly knocked him Gown, and attempted to kick him, and
in the tall his (witness's) wrist was hurt.

Leyland, 05 C, proved the prisoner's disorderly conduct,
and said that he was thrown to the ground with violence by
them twice, his back being much skinned.

-The prisoners pleaded intoxication in their defence.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined them 40s or a month each.
ROBBERY OF GOLD BY A WORKMAN - -Edward Shoo-
stwth, a workwa in the empby cf Mr. Thomas Davison,
goldsmith, of No. 2, Poland-street, Oxford-street, was
charged with stealing some gold, the property of his em-
ployer.

The prisoner was seen by another workman in Mr. Davi-
son's employ, named Manby, who had been spoken to by
one of the apprentices, on two or three occasions to eut off
pieces of gold and melt them. Manby communicated what
he had seen to his employer, and a piece of gold was found
in the prisoner's work-box, each workman having a tin box
to place Lis work in.

Mr. Davison said that in consequence of what he was
informed by the witness Manby he went to the prisoner's
box, and there found a globule of gold, and on asking thn
prisoner wby he had melted it, he said he waM in the habit
of doing so and leaving it in his box. He told the prisoner
he should send for a constable, and the prisoner then said
that he was very sorry for what he had done, that he had
only done it on a few occasions, and that he had taken very
little.

Peach, 172 C, said prisoner admitted having taken gold
on other occasions, but not the piece in question.

The prisoner having pleaded guilty, and the prosecutor
stating that he did not with to press the case with severity,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said such robberies as that the prisoner was
charged with could not be dealt lightly with, as they tended
to destroy all confidence between masters and their work-
men, and suspioicn was thrown on all persons in the
employ.

The prisoner was committed for three months with hard
Labour.

THAMES.

To BE OR Nor To BE.—John Thompson, a wild•look-
ing fellow, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged
with violently assaulting Mr. Joel Levy, cutter-out to Mr.
Green, a wholesale tailor and outfitter in Hounsditch.
The complainant said he was pissing along the Mile-end-
road on his way home, in company with a friend, when
the prisoner came in front of him, put himself in a strange
attitude, and exclaimed, " To be or not to be," at the same
time striking him a violent blow on the left eye.
Mr. Woolrych—And blackened it as I now see P
Mr. Levy—Yes, sir; he gave me a black eye, and it is
very painful. I called a police constable, and gave him
into custody.

The prisoner acid it was true he was tipsy last night,
true he did not know what he was about, and true that he
was locked up—(a laugh)—the very head and front of his
offending had that extent—no more.

Mr. Woolrych said the head and front of the prisoner's
offending went to a much larger extent than he supposed. It
appeared the prisoner was labouring under a dramatic hal-
lucination, addressed the complainant in the words of
Hamlet, and then struck him a violent blow on the eye. He
would allow the prisoner to retire with the complainant and
make him some compensai ion.

The parties left the court and soon returned. It was
announced that the prisoner would pay nothing to the man
h. had wronged, and exclaimed, " Base is the slave who

Pays."

Mr. Woolrych fined the prisoner 15s, and in default sen-
enced h in to be imprisoned for eight days.
The prisoner—So ends my catechism.

A DESEISThR 7ROM THE POLICE FORCE.—George Floyd.
a tail young man, was brought before Mr. Woolr) ch,
charged with unlawfully absconding from the H division of
the metropolitan force.

Mr. Joseph Dendy, inspector of the H division, said that
the prisoner had been a police-constable twelve months, and
his character was very good indeed. On Wednesday last
the prisoner, who was a single man, absconded from the
station-house in Leman-street, and without giving any
notice whatever of his intentions. Another man was sub-
stituted for the prisoner on Thursday.

In answer to questions by Mr. Woarych, the inspector
said that Mr. White, the superintendent of the division,
gave the Frisoner no permission to leave the police force.
The prisoner did not take away his uniform or any of his
accoutrements. A month's notice was required by the Act
of Parliament before any police-constable could resign.
Mr. Ralph Field Thomas, inspector of the Thames
division, said he apprehended the prisoner on a warrant
yesterday afternoon in the East India Dock. He said to
him, " Is not your name Robert Floyd P" to which he re-
viled, "No, it is George Floyd." He looked at the warrant
and found that was so. The prisoner was walking about
the north quay of the dock, and said he was very sorry in-
deed, and that he left the police force in a bit of a tiff.
The prisoner, who was dressed in the garb of a sailor,
said he had a brother in the force. He had a few words
with his brother on Wednesday, and when be left him he
packed up a few things belonging to him and walked away,
with the intention of joining a ship and going to sea.
Mr. Woolrych—lt is a pity to give way to violence. You
have spoiled all your prospects in life, and done y ourself a
good deal of injury. You have borne a very good charac-
ter, and under those circumstances I fine you 7s. 6d. only.
The money was paid.
