POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

EASTER MONDAY.—Several persons were brought before
Mr. Tyrwhitt this morning charged with being drunk and
disorderly, &c. Where the offence charged was only that
of being drunk, the magistrate discharged the persons, but
in the other.cases imposed light fines, taking into conside-
ration that it was holiday time. One man, named Edward
M'Sweeney, in addition to being charged with being drunk
and disorderly, was also charged with wilfully breaking
two alabaster vases, of the value of £2, and other articles,
at the Queen's Head, Little Pulteney-street, the property
of Mrs. Harriet Scott, the landlady. It appeared that
M'Sweeney went into the house while in a state of intoxi-
cation, interfered with the customers, and at last got fight-
ing with ono of the customers for the love of the thing, but
while fighting broke the vases, &c.—The prisoner said he
had taken " the dhrops," and that the damage was done in
a fight.—Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered him to pay the damage, and
fined him £l, or a month in default.
A MISTRESS CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HER SERVANT.
—Augusta Martin, who described herself as the keeper of
a "lodging house," at No. 12, Hampstead-street, Fitzroy-
square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
Ann Purcell, a young woman, her servant.
Mr. E. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prisoner.
The prosecutrix said she lived as servant with the pri-
soner, who kept a " gaming-house " at No. 12, Hampstead-
street. Yesterday evening she wanted to leave, having
given the.prisoner notice, when she refused to let her do
so, and flew at her, tore her hair out, bit both her hands,
and then blackened her eye. There were three or four
persons attacking her at one time, including the gentleman
who visited the prisoner. She became insensible, and when
she recovered found herself locked in the back kitchen•
She afterwards gave the prisoner into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the young woman said the
house was a brothel.

In reply to Mr. Lewis, the prosecutrix said her sister and
brother called for her yesterday, and she could not get out of
the house. She was not intoxicated yesterday, although
she had a little gin. The prisoner sold bottled ale, spirits,
&c., as she kept a public-house in King-street, Regent-
street. She knew Amy Stanley, one of the "lady" lodgers.
She told the constable the prisoner had assaulted her. I
refused to let her have her things.
Henry Green, a young man, proved hearing cries of
"murder" from No. 12, and carrying the prosecutor in an
exhausted condition out of the house, having seen the
prisoner and three or four others pulling her about.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said the parties
in the house appeared to be preventing the prosecutrix
leaving. He thought the prosecutrix was sober.
Margaret Purcell, prosecutrix's sister, said she saw her
sister covered with blood, and she saw somebody had
struck her. Her sister was then lying in the back kitchen.
Afterwards, on getting into the passage, three of them
seized her sister, and the prisoner had her hand in her
sister's hair, and in getting her away, she (witness) had
her clothes torn.

In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said that she could
not say whether her sister had been drinking or not, but
she was very excited.

Stephen Lock, 43 E, proved being called to the house and
taking the prisoner into custody, the prosecutrix showing
him marks on her arms, where she said her mistress had
bitten her. The prosecutrix had been drinking, but was
not drunk.

Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on the prisoner's
behalf, and said that he could not deny that an assault
had been committed, but not to the extent the prosecutrix,
—who, he was instructed, was intoxicated and attacked her
mistress—had stated.

Amy Stanley was then called, and she said that the pro.
secutrix attacked Mrs. Martin first.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt there was a grand
shindy, and that the prosecutrix received her injuries at
her mistress's hands. There had been a great deal of vio-
lenco and cruel indifference, just such as ono might expect
from the landlady of such a house.
