POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULTING AND ATTEMPT-
ING TO ROB A LICENSED VICTUALLER AND PUGILIST.—
George Smith, a respectable looking man, described as a
smith, was charged before Mr. Mausfied with assaulting
James Dillon, licensed victualler and pugilist, of the White
Horse, Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's-inn-lane, and attempting
to steal his watch and chain.
The prosecutor said—Shortly after 12 o'clock on Satur-
day night, I was passing along Leicester-square on my
way home, when the prisoner, whom I had seen sitting
against a lamp post, with two companions near him, pushed
against me. I asked him whether there was not room for
two persons, and what his gamo was. He said something I
did not understand, and then struck me. A woman then ran
up to the man and said " Cheese it, cheese it—(leave off)
—he's a fighting man. A mistake." The prisoner then
knocked me down, and his friend laid hold of my chain and
watch. I shouted out "Police," and the prisoner, who
was kneeling on me, said "You --, if you call '• Police
I'll choke you." I got up and ran away, and the prisoner
ran after me, and again knocked me down, and struck me
with his fists. I then got up and ran after him, and gave
him in charge. I had a light suit of clothes on at the
time, and I've no doubt they took me for a foreigner. I
was kicked in the loins, and was in bed all day yesterday.
Police-constable 75 C—About half-past 1 on Sunday
morning, hearing cries of " Murdcr," in Cranbourn-street,
I went up and saw Dillon running, and a mob following
him. I saw the prisoner knock Dillon down and fall on
him and strike him. I pulled the prisoner off and took
him to the station.
In reply to Mr. Mansfield the constable said the prose-
cutor and the prisoner were both sober.
John Morris, hackney carriage attendant—l was on
duty in Leicester-square, and saw Dillon knock a man
down into the road, the man being intoxicated at the time.
I told Dillon he ought to be ashamed of himself, and Dillon
then ran away, and then prisoner ran after him with a
number of others, some of whom said, " Oh, he's a fighting
man." The prisoner and Dillon then fought for about ten
minutes, and on Dillon falling on his back he said the
prisoner wanted to rob him, but that was not the case.
The constable then came up, and Dillon having got the
worst of it, gave the prisoner in charge for attempting to
rob him. The prisoner was drunk, till sobered by a fall
Dillon gave him.
The prisoner—l had had a glass or two of boer and
was leaning against a lamp-post, and Dillon coming along
with a girl, knocked a man down. I asked why he did it,
and through this a fight between them took place, and we
both fell occasionally atop of each other. The prosecutor
afterwards gave mo in charge for attempting to rob him. I
am a working man, a smith, employed at 5, Jermyn-street,
and do not wish to rob any one. What I have said is the
truth. It all arose through Dillon knocking the man down
without any reason.
A person stepped forward and gave the prisoner 15 years
good character.
Mr. Mansfield—Has the prisoner ever been here before ?
Barns (the gaoler)—No, sir.
Mr. Mansfield—ls Dillon a pugilist, and has he been
here before ?
Barns—Ho is a pugilist, and has been committed from
this court for three months for assaulting a female.
Mr. Mansfield—The prisoner is discharged.
The decision seemed to give satisfaction to most persons
in attendance.
