-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A VOLUNTEER BANDSMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
—Mr. George Macfarlane, musician, and volunteer bands-
man, of 17, Draycott-street, Chelsea, was charged with
assaulting an omnibus conductor, named Alfred Bray,
badge 3,156.
The complainant said that at nine the previous night he
was in the Regent-circus, and he was having a dispute
with a man who got off the omnibus in consequence of the
fare being 6d. after 8 o'clock, when the defendant interfered,
insinuating that he (complainant) was trying to extort
money. He asked the defendant not to interfere, as he
knew nothing of his business, and therefore to leave it
alone. The defendant then said, "If you insult me I'll
punch your head." He called the defendant a liar, and the
defendant then shook his fist in his face, and broke a stick
over his head.
Bartholomew Foley, of the E division, said the parties
were sober.
The defendant said he saw a poor man with one arm
getting off the omnibus, and hearing that he had been taken
quite out of his way, he did interfere, and on being called a
" liar," a thing a felt a great repugnance to, he did strike
the complainant with his stick, a very thin one, and he
now regretted doing so, but it was all through the expres-
sion " liar."

Mr. Knox said the defendant had no business to take the
law into his own hands. It was not a serious assault, and
he should, therefore, fine the defendant le, and 108. costs
for the complainant.

ROBBING 808 TRAVIIRS.—George West, 13, Castle-
street, waiter, was charged with robbing Robert Travers,
the pugilist, of a £lO note.
On Saturday afternoon another man was brought before
the magistrate on the same charge, but the evidence not
justifying his detention, and the prosecutor and his witnesses
being drunk, he was discharged.
Robert Travers, of 10, Litchfield-street, Soho, said on
Saturday morning last he was at a coffeehouse, 13, Castle-
street, in company with a man named Joseph Martin,
having a £lO note in his pocket. He went into the water-
closet, and there felt asleep, being drunk at the time. On
waking he missed the note, and he went into the coffeeshop
and saw his friend Mr. Martin there, and knowing that he
knew he had the note gave Martin in charge. While
speaking of the note prisoner said "You've got it" (mean-
ing Martin), and for that reason Marvin was given into
custody. Afterwards a constable found the note on the
prisoner.
Prisoner—l did not tell you to give Martin in charge.

Holman, 326 A, said on Saturday evening at six o'clock
a window was broken in St. Martin's-court by the prisoner,
and while the shopman was remonstrating with him be said
"All right, I'll square it. I have got a termer.' " He
(Holman) had a hard struggle to get the note from the pri-
soner's mouth, and he tried to swallow it. On getting up,

note," and he then took him to the station.
