IN RE HUGH ROWLEY.

A meeting was held for ice of assignees under the
estate of this bankrupt, commonly called the lion, Hugh
Rowley. The case was before the court a few days since
on an application to be released from custody, and was op-
posed by Mrs Theresa Bishop (late Rowley).
Mr. Pook said the bankrupt was in custody fcr costs in a
suit by his wife, who obtained a divorce, and a large sum
had been paid to her, but since circumstances had been dis-
covered which, if they had been known at the time, would
have prevented Mrs. Rowley from having the prayer of a
petition granted. His honour, however, did not think he
could interfere at that time to grant a release. The bank-
rupt will now, however, be enabled to apply again for
release.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SEVEN DIALS RUFFIAN.—NU 3,IER ous CHARGES
AGAINST A MAN.—Dennis M'Carthy, a fellow well-known
at this court, and on Seven-dials, owing to his violent con-
duct, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk,
wilfully breaking a gas branch in the shop of Mr. Levy,
calling himself a pawnbroker, of 54, Dudley-street, and also
with assaulting Mrs. Kate Levy, Solomon Bierman, Philip
Levy, Police-sergeant Hill, 5 F, and Bange, 150 F.
From the evidence of the witness Bierman, it appeared
that the prisoner sold him a pair of scissors in the morning,
and in the afternoon came with a woman, and wanted the
scissors back. Bierman told him he could not give them
back as he had sold them, and the prisoner then became
very violent, knocked d Avn a gas tube fixed on the counter,
struck him on the head with it, and then knocked down
Mrs. Levy, who was not able to attend in consequence.
Mr. Philip Levy, after corroborating a portion of Bier-
man's evidence, said that the prisoner went into the par,our
and knocked his wife down, and she was too ill to attend
owing to the treatment she had received. The prisoner
aimed a violent blow at him (witness) with the gas tube,
but he managed to avoid it. The police then came.
Sergeant Hill, 5 F, said that he went to take the prisoner
into custody, and on the way to the station the prisoner
became very violent and kicked him several times in a deli-
cate part and on his knee and side, and he felt it a good deal.
The prisoner was very violent and very drunk.
Police-constable Benge, 150 F, said that while assisting
the sergeant the prisoner threw himself down and kicked
him in the eye and several times on the ribs and legs, and
they were obliged to have the assistance of two more con-
stables to get the prisoner to the station.
Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had several times
been at the court, and the last time went for a month.

Prisoner said he did not recollect anything about the
affair.

Mr, Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was one of those violent
ill• conditioned fellows who haunted about town. The
prisoner had quarrelled with the dolly-shop people, per-
haps, on some grounds, and then became reckless. He
should commit the prisoner for a month for the assault on
the first constable; for 14 days, for the assault on the
second constable ; fine him 10s., or seven days, for the
assault on Bierman; 205., or a month, for the assault on
Levy ; and a warrant could be applied for assaulting Mrs.
Levy when the prisoner came out of prison.
A BASE FELLOW.—ANOTHER BRUTAL ASSAULT.—
Thomas Beaks, of 3, Archer-street, St. James's, musician,
was charged with a brutal assault on Elizabeth M'Donald,
the assault being attended with aggravated circumstances.
Tho complainant's head was bandaged, and she seemed
faint from the loss of blood, and was, therefore, accommo-
dated with a seat.

The following certificate was handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt :
" Charing-Cross Hospital, June 2.
" Elizabeth Macdonald is an out-patient of this hospital,
suffering from a severe scalp wound.

"WILLIAM TRAVERS, Resident Surgeon."
It appeared from the young woman's statement that she
had been keeping the prisoner for some time past, and that
on the previous night he brought home another female, and
on her asking him why he did so, the prisoner abused and
struck her a severe blow in the eye with his fist, and then
struck her another blow on the temple either with a poker
or a plate, and she then became insensible, and on recover-
ing her senses, found herself in a cab, with a policeman, on
the way to the hospital.
