THAMES.

Mr. Barker, of the Clerkenwell Police-court, presided in
this court to-day for Mr. Partridge.

SAILING NEAR THE WIND.—An elderly man, named
Stafford, applied to the magistrate for a warrant against a
public lecturer for defrauding him of £lO.

Mr. Livingston, the chief usher of the Court, explained
that the applidant saw an advertisement in a newspaper of
a secretary wanted, and answered it. The advertiser en-
gaged the applicant at a salary of £2 iper week, and re-
quired a deposit of £lO. The applicant was dismissed at
the end of one week, and could neither obtain his salary of
£2 or the £lO he had deposited with his master's principal.
Mr. Paget had been applied to for a warrant, and did not
think the conduct of the man complained of amounted to
a false pretence.
Mr. Barker—Nor do I.

Mr. Stafford said he had brought a gentleman with him
to substantiate his statement, and to prove that the public
lecturer had obtained a model from him and refused to re-
store it to the owner.

Mr. Barker said as an application had been already made
to M. Paget, he would advise the applicant to apply tq
that magistrate on Monday morning next, when he would
again preside.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—Mary Sullivan,
45, Michael and John, her sons, both tall and powerful
men, and Mary, her daughter, all of 17, Perriwinkle-street,
Rateliff, were brought before Mr. Barker, charged with
being drunk and disorderly and assaulting Police-sergeant
Sutherland, 46 K, Donald M'Kay, 275 K, Isaac Pawsey,
485 K, and William Walker, 488 K, police-constables.
Last night Michael Sullivan was in the White Swan
publichouse in the Commercial-road making a disturbance.
He was turned out, and stopped outside swearing and
making a disturbance. He was requested by Mr. Kay to
go home. He bade defiance to the constable who went
upon his beat, preceded by the prisoner, who was swearingi
shouting, andthreatening the constable. At the corner of
Perriwinkle-street the prisoner used very disgusting
language, took his coat off, and fastened his braces round
his waist. The other prisoners came out and got him in
doors. John Sullivan came out of the house again, used
blasphemous expressions, and offered to fight the con-
stable. Margaret Sullivan came out with the candle-
stick and struck the constable on the hat, which
fell off. John then seized Mr. Kay's stock, got
him down on his back and knelt upon him. M'Kay said,
" Don't choke me," and a man came up and exclaimed,
" Don't choke the man." Sutherland came up and drew
his staff. The prisoner John then ran indoors, and he
was followed by the sergeant and constable. On at-
tempting to take the male prisoners into custody they made
a fierce attack on all the complainants, and also upon
another constable named Custer. A fierce conflict ensued,
and the police-constables drew their staves and laid them
about the heads of Michael and John Sullivan, whom they
marked.

Au Irish witness was called, who said the police " bate
and kicked all the prisoners most dreadfully anyhow."
Mr. Barker fined John and Michael 40s. each, Mrs.
Sullivan 205., and her daughter 10s., each, and said he
passed those light punishments in consideration of the in-
juries they had received.
