EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF PICKING POCKETS—VIO-
LENT ASSAULT ON THREE CONSTABLES.—Joseph Langley,
described as a shoemaker, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with attempting to pick the pocket of Mrs. Sarah
Gainsford, of 63, Wardour-street, also with pickiug the
pocket of Mrs. Amelia Schuster, of 6, Great Pulteney-street,
while in the shop of Mr. Roleman Hall, tea dealer and
grocer, 70, Wardour- street, Soho. The prisoner was fur-
ther charged with violently assaulting Sergeant Henry
Allen, 20 C, Lazarus Howes, 95 C, and Thomas Dennison,
116 C. A female named Mary Ann May was also charged
with attempting to rescue Langley, and with assaulting
Sergeant Allen, 20 C.
Mrs. Sarah Gainsford said—While in Mr. Hall's shop on
Saturday night at 10 o'clock, there being a great many per.
sons in the shop, the male prisoner came in and stood by
the side of me. His hand touched my pocket, and I moved
a little away. He then moved against me again, and
through a hole in his pocket he had hie hand in my pocket.
I said, " What do you want with your hand in my pocket."
He made no answer, but followed me out and said " Did
you allude to me in the shop," and on my telling him I did,
he said " Why, I couldn't rob you, you look as if you wanted
money given to you instead of being robbed." I crossed
over the way, and was called back, and Mr. Hall asked me
whether the prisoner was the man who had attempted to
pick my pocket, and I said he was, and gave him in charge.
Mrs. Amelia Schuster said—l went into Mr. Hall's shop
on Saturday night about 9 o'clock, and the male prisoner
stood by my right side. I put my hand in my pocket to
take out a sovereign to pay for some purchases I was about
to make, when I sound it was gone. I had the sovereign
safe in my pocket after I entered the shop, and when I
turned round the prisoner had disappeared.

Mr. Robert Coleman Hall, tea dealer, &c., 70, Wardour-
street, said—At 10 o'clock on Saturday night I was told by
a lady at the far end of my shop that a lady had had her
pocket picked in my shop. Some time after the prisoner
passed my shop, and on his being pointed out to me I fol-
lowed him, and saw him following a lady into the shop of
Mr. Taylor, poulterer, in Pulteney-street. I then saw the
prisoner insert his hand in a lady's pocket, and on my ask-
ing the lady if she had lost anything, she slid she had not,
The prisoner then said, " You are cunning, but have
not got me," and then aimed a blow at me with his fist,
but did not touch me, and I then gave him one in return.
The prisoner was then taken back to my shop, and given
into custody.

Lazarus Howes, 95 C, said—On attempting to take the
prisoner into custody he struck me a blow on the mouth
and nose, smothering me with blood. He also fastened his
teeth in my leg, in such a determined manner, that I had
to use my staff to make him release his hold. He then got
hold of my finger and screwed it completely round, causing
me intense pain. On searching him I found 17s. 2; d. in
his possession.

Thos. Dennison, 166 C—l Was Lit in the forefinger and
kicked by the prisoner.

Sergeant Allen, 20 C--I was struck in the chest and
kicked in the groin by the male prisoner, and the woman
said, "Let the man go," and slapped my face.
May—l did not assault the sergeant. I merely called
the police beasts.

Mr. Hall—lt required seven constables to take the
prisoner to the station, owing to his violent conduct, ansi
the police behaved with great forbearance towards him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the male prisoner for trial, and
fined the woman 10s., or seven days.
