HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Daniel Ryan,
aged 20, was charged with committing a highway robbery.
The prosecutor, Edward Ingram, a seaman, whose face
was mutilated, stated that last Saturday he had been drink-
ing a little, and several persons tried to get hold of his
money. Between 12 and 2in the night time he was in the
York-road, Ratcliff, and near the Stepney railway station,
and he was attacked by two men first, and had the advan-
tage of them. Then he was beaten and robbed by two
more men, who robbed him fif all his money. They were
not content with robbing him, but knocked him about. He
lost £2 165., which was all the money he had about him.
William Carter, a police constable, 78 K, stated that he
heard cries of murder and police in Railway-place, along-
side the North London Railway, and saw two men run-
ning away. The prisoner was one of them. Some one
called out, " Stop that man," but he could not stop either
of them. Ho afterwards saw the prosecutor, who was
covered with blood and mud. He took the prisoner into
custody yesterday, and he said, " Who has 'rounded'
upon me ?"

This being the whole of the evidence, and the prosecutor
not being able to identify the prisoner, he was discharged.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN A STATION-HOUSE. —Morris
Abraham; a Jew, aged 43, and described as a hawker, was
charged with being drunk and disorderly in the King
David-lane station-house, Shadwell.
Police-sergeant Stimpson, 21 K, stated that a woman,
named Mina Cohen, charged a ma; named Levie Levy,
with an assault yesterday evening, and the prisoner who
was tipsy came into the station-house with the parties, and
said he could give evidence, but finding he knew nothing
of the affair he was ordered to withdraw. The prisoner
was abusive, noisy, and violent, and was ejected from the
station-house. He came in a second time, and made great
confusion which prevented him carrying on the business.
The prisoner was charged with being drunk and disorderly
and put into the cell. As the reserve constable was about
closing the door, which shut with a spring, the prisoner
made a rush, and as the door closed the prisoner's fingers
were caught in it close to one of the hinges, and they were
injured. The fore-finger of the left hand was nearly
severed. He procured a cab and sent the prisoner to the
London Hospital directly.

James Noakes, police constable, was closing the cell-
door, the prisoner was trying to keep it open, and his
fingers caught between the edge of the door and door-post.
The door closed with a spring, and he had to obtain the
key before he could open it.

The prisoner said his fingers were in the door 20 minutes.
Ile was a ruined man and has lost one finger.
Stimpson—lt was not in the door two minutes. I am
'rery sorry this has taken place.

Mr. Partridge—l am satisfied the occurrence is purely
accidental. The prisoner is discharged.
