POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 24.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.—Hypolite Rey-
nand, a Portuguese merchant, was brought before
Mr. Tyrwhitt for final examination, charged with
having indecently assaulted and exposed himself to
two children named Ann Bland and Elizabeth Pearl.
Mr. Edward Lewis was for the prisoner.
At the former examination the following evidence
was tendered :

Ann Bland, aged 11 years, went into Kensington-
gardens with another girl about the same age.
While skipping •in the broad walk the prisoner,
who was on one of the seats reading, called to them,
and said in broken English he would give them 4s.
if they would come and sit beside him. The pri-
soner, to make his meaning more intelligible, held
up four fingers. The prisoner removed some dis-
tance from the public walk to a tree, and then he
called the girls to him again. They went, and
then, according to Ann Bland's statement, the pri-
soner committed one at least of the offences with
which he was charged. The statement of Eliza
Pearl went to convict him of both. As soon as the
girls released themselves they ran to the north walk
and told a park-keeper what had occurred. He
went back with them, and they pointed out the
prisoner, who was sitting on a seat, as the person
who had assaulted them. The park-keeper went
towards the prisoner, who, seeing them approach,
got up and walked away. The keeper followed and
took him into custody.
Mr. Lewis cross-examined both the little girls,
and having elicited some discrepancies in their
depositions, he made a strong appeal to the bench,
urging the improbability of a person of the re-
spectability of the prisoner, who had come over
hero on business" connected with the Exhibition,
conducting himself in the way described.
Mr. Fontaine, a silk merchant, of Golden-square,
spoke to the respectability of the prisoner, and his
belief that he was incapable of misconducting him-
self in the way described.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said there were undoubtedly some
discrepancies between the evidence of the two chil-
dren—but had they told their story in the same
words the suspicion of collusion would have been
warranted. He would carefully consider the evi-
dence before he gave his decision, and for that pur-
pose would remand the prisoner on light bail for a
week.

Yesterday Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had fully consi-
dered the evidence, and giving all the weight to the
discrepancies in it that he ought to do, he had come
to the conclusion that the case was oneforsetnhde
tdhee-
cision of a jury or for conviction.
_ Mr. Lewis hoped the magistrate would
eassaid ho would convict and sentence
toi
Mr.
r. Tayjruwryh
tt
the prisoner to three months' imprisonment. This
would give the prisoner the opportunity of appeal-
ing against the conviction if he thought fit.
Mr. E. Lewis said with due respect to the court,
he should appeal against the conviction.
Joseph Barber, C 69, the
appeared in the
papers of yesterday, was charged
with assaulting Mrs. Margaret Lawrence, of Silver-
street.

had offered to
bour was go to market with her. This
accustomedneigh-
to be rung up by the police,
who were paid asmall sum for the service..t The
defendant, fancying
.the complainant was m er er
ing with his perquisites, assaulted her, and, after a
good deal of resistance, took her to the station-house,
and charged her with assaulting and obstructing
him in his duty. Oa the way the complainant
dropped her pocket with £3 10s. in gold, and when
restored to her by the police £1 was gone. The
defendant was the constable who returned her
pocket, and who had seen her on previous mornings
ring at the same bell.
The defendant said he heard some one ring a bell
and walk away, and thinking it was some improper
person who had done this be went forward, and wa.3
attacked violently, and his f ace and hands scratched.
He knew nothing about the money said to have
been in the complainant's pocket.
Mr. Tyrwhitt was sorry suchshould a case come
before him. The police
were generally a well-regu-

lated body, but there were now and then improper
characters admitted, and it was when detected that
a great outcry was made by those who were no
friends to the force. The defendant's conduct was
without palliation. He could not have taken the
complainant for a disorderly person ; he must have
acted solely on the idea that his emoluments for
ringing up people were interfered with. He had
no hesitation in putting in force that clause in
the Police Act which gave magistrates power
over such cases. He should not go into the ques-
tion of the loss of the money, but should deal with
the case under the 14th section, and inflict a fine of
£lO, or one month's imprisonment.

LAMBETH.—Robert Ames, badge 11,107, and
the driver of the cab 10,934, appeared before Mr.
Elliott to answer to the following charge of gross
misconduct :

Mr. Richard Woodley said that on Friday week,
the 13th inst., he engaged the defendant in Covent-
garden market to take him to the Waterloo station.
On reaching the latter place he put up two six-
pences through the hole in the roof of the cab, end
placed them before the defendant, and then made
the best of his way to the train. On taking his
place in one of the carriages the defendant came up
and said he had not paid him his fare, and_ he re-
plied. that he had and placed two sixpences on the
roof of his cab, The defendant upon this com-
menced a volley of the most scurrilous abuse, called
him a rogue and a scoundrel, and told him he
wanted to "bilk" him of his fare. Not wishing to
have any more noise about it, he (witness) paid 00
defendant a second shilling and got his ticket.
The defendant, with the utmost effrontery, ad-
mitted he had called the gentleman a rogue and
scoundrel, and also accused him of attempting to
defraud him of his farei because he was in a state of
excitement at the time, having driven the gentle-
man very fast, and it not being the first time he had
lost his fare at the same station.

Mr. Elliott told him his conduct was most repro-
hensible, and convicted him in a penalty of 10s. and
costs.

THE .13ISASTIE AT THE UNDERGRouIVD
RAILWAY.

The apprehensions entertained as to a probable
further fall of the broken Fleet sewer have been so
far verified that upon a more minute examination
of the southern portion, it was decided by the en-
gineer very early yesterday morning to extend tke
artificial watercourse upwards of 300 feet from
Vine-street, towards the City boundary beyond
Castle-street, Great Saffron-hill. At this point,
should the engineer in chief this day (Tuesday) ex-
press his opinion that the remainder of the sewer
(which is skirted all along on the eastern side by
the retaining wall of the railway) has not given
indications of deflection or insecurity, an opening
will be made, and the sewage, to relieve the Cop-
pice-row cutting, will then be turned into the spa-
cious channel of the Fleet lying underneath
Farringdon-street to Blackfriars Bridge.
At five o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Dethick,
the contractor, put upon the work from Vine-
street to Castle-street upwards of 400 navvies,
who, dining the day, made extraordinary pro-
gress in extending the "grip " in the required
direction, the trench becoming gradually deeper
and wider from Vine-street to the proposed open-
ing for its waters into the sewer. At the dam
which failed on Saturday night to stem the turbu-
lent current, and to prevent its further inroad into
the cutting of the railway line, a number of men
were also employed all day yesterday, whilst
other gangs, as in the former case, wore era-
ployed all night in driving piles and filling up the
dam (about 20 feet by 10), and making it secure
from the effects of the stream when the new*
channel is opened, which it is hoped will be
within 24 hours after nightfall this day. Powerful
engines have been provided by Mr. Dethick for
forcing purposes, and when once the " grip" is fairly
opened the work of restoring both the railway and
the now long length of damaged sewer will be pro-
ceeded with with all practicable vigour by all parties.
We learn that immediate steps are about to be
taken by the New River Company for the removal of
the broken water main, the failure of which we re-
ported yesterday. This main, which was fortunately
empty at the time, the supply having been divested
by the engineers ever since the early part of the
disaster, is one foot nine inches in diameter, and lies
immediately contiguous to the railway line at the
point where the sewer first failed.
During yesterday the ruins were visited by several
foreign engineers of eminence, who evidently took
great interest in the proceedings of the workmen.
