POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

A Row IN' THE MARKET.—John O'Connor, Bridget
O'Connor, his wife, and Edward Macnamara, her father,
were charged with creating a disturbance in Covent-gar-
den Market, and assaulting the police.
It appeared that about 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
the prisoners, with some others, were in Covent-garden
Market drunk and annoying the passengers and tradesmen
by creating a disturbance there. The female prisoner went
up to the stall of Mrs. Deacon, a saleswoman, to buy some
onions, but, as she was very drunk, Mrs. Deacon refused
to serve her. The prisoner then spoke to one of the men,
who went up to Mrs. Deacon and tried to strike her,
but she get away from him, and ran into one of
the shops in the market, where she remained till a
policeman came up. The female prisoner was then making
a great disturbance and trying to get at Mrs. Deacon. The
constable took her into custody ; and, as he was removing
her, her husband sprang upon him from behina, seized him
by the throat, and flung him on the ground with such vio-
lence that he has since been ill and unable to do duty.
Macnamara also struck the officer, and so did the other three
men. By this time a crowd of nearly 1,000 persons had
assembled, and the disturbance became terrific, the prisoners
and their friends urging the mob to ill-treat the police.
Ultimately, by the united exertions of half a dozen con-
stables, the prisoners were removed to the station-house.
The other three got away.
These facts were proved by a number of witnesses prin-
cipally tradesmen in the neighbourhood.
The prisoners insisted that they were quite sober and had
had nothing whatever to drink.
Mr. Henry fined John O'Connor £5 or two months,
Bridget O'Connor or 14 days, and Macnamara Li or
three weeks.

ATTEMPTED FELONY.—Edward Welsh was placed at
the bar charged with attempting to steal a watch.
Sergeant Thompson, of the detective force, said he was in
Holborn on Saturday night, when he saw the prisoner go
up to a gentleman, and, pushing against him violently, he
felt in his pocket with his right hand. He did not succeed
in obtaining anything, but proceeded towards Queen-street,
where ho again went through the same movement before
another gentleman, and succeeded in getting the watch out
of his waistcoat pocket, but the gentleman seized him with
the property in his hand and took it from him. He then
seized prisoner, but the gentleman refused to prosecute as
he was going out of town. Prisoner resisted capture very
much.

Police• constable 131 F corroborated the statement of the
first witness.

Ackrill, 48 F, said ho knew the prisoner to be the asso-
ciate of thieves, and also that he had been in prison for
three months for a felony. He had bean at work for about
a month until the last week, when he absented himself
from his employment. He had told him (witness) that
"he'd turned up thieving," but he still continued to asso-
ciate with the most expert and well-known thieves in the
neighbourhood.
Committed for trial,
