THAMES.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.—Peter Burns, a labourer, in the em-
ploy of Messrs. Samuda, of Blackwall, was brought before
Mr. Paget, charged with committing a brutal assault on
Mr. Thos. Orton, medical officer of health to the Limehouse
District Board of Works, and who is in extensive practice
in the eastern part of London.
Mr. Orton was passing along Queen-street, Rateliff, on
Saturday evening, when the prisoner, without any provo-
cation, struck him a violent blow on the nose with his
clenched fist, and caused him to bleed profusely. The
prisoner immediately made his escape into a house in
Queen-street, and was fetched out by a police-constable
named M'Auliffe, 361 K, to whom he said, "I'll give it to
the b--- parson." Mr. Orton wears a white neckcloth,
and his appearance is that of a clerical gentleman. Mr.
Orton was of opinion that the prisoner mistook him
for a clergyman, and that he feared that the pri-
soner committed the assault on him from somo feeling
of religious prejudice, and that he intended to rob him. He
was put to much inconvenience by the blow, and had only
been enabled to attend upon one patient since he received
the blow.

The prisoner, an Irishman, expressed his sorrow for
what ho had done, and said he had no antipathy to Mr.
Orton, and was not actuated by any religious prejudice.
Sergeant Sutherland, 46 K, said the prisoner was in
liquor when brought to the station-house.
• Mr. Paget, after a lengthened inquiry, said ho believed
the act complained of was that of a drunken and disorderly
man, and that the prisoner did not intend to rob Mr. Orton,
whose appearance, advanced age, and profession, ought to
protect him from outrage. As the prisoner had received a
good character he would not send him to prison, but give
him an opportunity of paying a fine of 20s. for the
assault.
