LAMBETILSTREET.

A journeyman hatter, named Thomas Day, was
brought up in custody of Norris, the officer, bvl
virtue of a Bench warrant, and held to bail for an'
assault upon a Mrs. Turner, residing► in Cooper-
street, City-road, under the following circum-

'stances :

On the 13th of May last a young girl, named
Eliza Salter, a relative of Mrs. Turner, was com-1

mitted from Bow-street police-office, on a charge of
robbing her master, Mr. Bennis, of Holborn, of
some trifling articles not worth a shilling. It was
then stated that a party of policemen, eight in num-
ber, under the direction of Serjeant M'Sweeney,
went to Mrs. Turner's house at midnight, without
any authority but that which they assumed, under
pretence of searching the premises for the stolen
goods. They entered by means of a key, and
rushed into Mrs. Turner's bed-room, and without
explaining the nature of their outrageous intrusion,
some of them proceeded to rummage every part of
the house, and while they were thus engaged, the
others stood over Mrs. Turner, and would not
allow her to dress herself, but kept her standing in
her night-clothes. The Magistrates (Sir R.
I3irnie, and Messrs. Halls and Mallard) expressed
their indignation at such abominable and illegal
proceedings, and recommended Mrs. Turner to in-
dict the offenders for the assault. She accordingly
acted on that advice, and selected those who were
the most culpable, among whom were the Serjeant
M'Sweeney and the prisoner Day. The latter was
not a policeman, but (to use his own expression)
" he only accompanied the others for a lark."

charged before Mr. MARRIOTT with assaulting Mrs.

31. each, or be imprisoned for 14 days.
The fine was immediately paid.

On Sunday evening last, between seven and eight
o'clock, a serious affray between two hostile parties
of English and Irishmen, which had very nearly been'
attended with fatal consequences, took place at the'
Castle public-house, in Cowcross-street, Smithfield.
It appeared that the parties were drinking in the
tap-room of the above house, when some difference of
an unexplained nature arose between them, and the
latter immediately commenced a desperate assault upon
the former, with pewter pots, with which they were
constantly supplied, it seems, by the maid-servant.
Two brothers of the name of Gill, and a man named
Goss, were knocked down like bullocks, and then
jumped upon by their opponents, till they lay help-
less and almost insensible. Some severe wounds
were inflicted on their heads, and had it not been
for the timely interference of the police, who with
considerable difficulty and great personal danger suc-
ceeded in rescuing them, they must, it was apparent,
have fallen victims to the savage ferocity of their
assailants. Four Irishmen, and the female above al-
Juded to, were secured and charged with the assault
'at this office, yesterday, before the sitting Magis-
trate, Mr. LAING. Each of the men was fined in
the penalty of 51., and in default of payment com-
mitted to the House of Correction for two months.
The woman was fined 31., and in default of payment
committed for six weeks.

A man of the name of Andrew Glynn was finally
examined on a charge of having been concerned
with a man of the name of Miller, in stealing 681.
in gold and silver, from Mr. Cubitt, the builder.
It appeared that about a fortnight ago Miller, who
was in Mr. Cubitt's employ, and a confidential man,
was intrusted with the above sum by the principal
clerk, to be paid away, but the instant he got pos-
session of the money he absconded, and no clue to
his detection could lie since found, although every
possible exertion had been made for that purpose,
and even a messenger sent down to Liverpool to
make inquiries after him. The messenger searched
every vessel bound for America, and had even fol-
lowed some that had sailed fifteen or twenty miles
to sea, but to no purpose. The fugitive effected
his escape. It was well known that a close intimacy
subsisted between Miller and the prisoner, which
coupled with other circumstances of a very suspi-
cious nature, caused him to be apprehended two
days after Miller had absconded, as he was preparing
to leave London, arid had a seat taken in one of the
Liverpool coaches, at the Angel-irin, Islington, with
the intention, he said himself, of going to America.
In his box was found 321. in sovereigns and silver,
and yet it was a notorious fact, that lie was for years,
a very poor man, arid in the most needy circum-
stances. There being no other evidence against the
prisoner, and Mr. LAING judging that the above
was not conclusive of guilt, lie discharged him.
