NOMINATIONS—Mrs DAY.
MIDDLESEX.

The nomination of two Knights to represent the
county of Middlesex in the new Parliament took
place to-day at Brentford.

The proceedings were of a comparatively quiet
nature, in consequence of the retirement of the
Conservative candidate, Viscount Ranelagh. The
old members, Viscount Enfield and Mr. Hanbury,
were re-elected without opposition, and both gentle-
men having returned thanks for the renewal of con-
fidence, pledged themselves to use their best efforts
to secure measures calculated to produce the greatest
happiness to the greatest number. A vote of thanks
to the returning officer closed the proceedings.

bury. (Cheers.)

the returning officer.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

S/NGTILAR CASE.—ALLEGED VIOLENCE OF THE POLICE
TOWARDS A FOREIGNER.—ManueI Gonzales Ferrerri,
Spaniard, describing himself as an interpreter and teacher
of languages, was charged before Mr. Knox with being
drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police-constable John
Rogers, 87 E.

The prisoner then placed in the dock presented a ghastly
appearance, having two bad black eyes, his face much
bruised and covered with blood, as also was a light-colured
coat he was wearing. During part of the examination he
was so faint that he was obliged to be accommodated with
a seat.

Police-constable Rogers, 87 E, said—Hearing cries of
" Police !" about 2 o'clock in the morning, I went to the
corner of Howland-street, and saw the prisoner struggling
with a female, who said he had molested her. I told the
female to go away, and she did so, but the prisoner refused,
and struck me a blow on the shoulder with a stick, knock-
ing me down. I caught hold of the prisoner's legs and
pulled him down, and the prisoner then took out a knife (a
small table knife) and said he would do for me. In falling
the prisoner fell on his face, causing it to be injured. The
prisoner was very drunk and violent, and it took six of us
to get him to the station.. He refused to wash, the blood
from his face.

The Prisoner—The constable kicked me while I was on
the ground. I had a sharp knife in my pocket which I
could have used if I meant to hurt the constable.

Mr. Knox—The prisoner appears to have received severe
injuries.

The Prisoner—l was with a friend at the timo when the
constable came up.

Mr. Knox—What are you ?
The Prisoner—l am an interpreter.
The Constable—l had another constable with me.

Mr. Knox—Let the other constable be sent for.

Police-constable Robertson, 70 E, on the case being re-
newed, said—This morning, at two o'clock, I heard a cry
of police in Howland-street, and on going up saw my brother
constable and the prisoner on the ground together. The
prisoner had a knife in his hand. I laid hold of the pH-
goner's arm, and took the knife from him. We tried to get
him to the station, when he kicked and jumped about, and
fell down a time or two, on his face once. We were obliged
to get more assistance, and it took five or six of us to get
him to the station.

Mr. Knox—l will not call on you (prisoner) for any de-
fence. That you were very drunk I have no doubt. The
constable in the first part of his evidence, which I believe,
finds you in altercation with a female. It appears you then
conduct yourself in a disorderly manner, and strike the
constable a blow with a stick. He says it caused him to
fall, but it is difficultto believe that a blow on the shoulder
would cause a man to fall. He then saw you take out a
knife and threatened to kill him, but I do not believe that
you intended more than a mere flourishing of it, particu-
larly with such a knife, when as you say if you intended
to do so you had another, and one more suited to the pur-
pose than a far from sharp bread and cheese knife. A
scuffle then takes place, in which the constables coat gets
damaged to the amount of 55., in which I am sorry to see
your face has got so badly injured. I shall discharge you
as you have received far more severe punishment than I
should have inflicted upon you. I am not so clear as I
could wish to be that unnecessary violence has not been
used towards the prisoner.

The prisoner, on rising from his seat, said--Can I have
an order from the hospital ?

Mr. Knox requested the sergeant, charge of the case
to take the man to the hospital, avid left for that purpose.

THAMES.

A RUFFIAN.—Edward Curtis, a dissipated-looking fellow,
with a bruised faco and black eye, employed in the tea ware-
house of the London Docks, was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge charged with being drunk, disorderly, fighting with
a sailor, and assaulting Samuel Rimell, a police-constable,
159 H.

The police-constable said the prisoner was engaged in a
fight with a sailor last night in Rosemary-lane. They
were knocking each other about unmercifully. He stopped
the fight and advised the prisoner to go away. The pri-
soner immediately turned round and kicked him several
times on the legs. He seized him, and was then struck on
the breast. The prisoner threw himself on the ground and
struggled, kicked, and "splashed" about violently before he
was taken. It required the united exertions of four men
to carry the prisoner on a stretcher to the station.
George Stephens, a police constable, 683 A, confirmed
tho latter part of Rimell's statement.

The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had
done, and had been already punished.

Mr. Partridge—With a bruised eye and face. You are
fined 10s.

CASUAL PAITERS.—George Griffiths, James Brown, and
Alfred Clark Were brought before Mr. Partridge charged
with tearing up their clothes in the casual ward of the
Poplar Union-house.

The Poplar Union has been singularly distinguished for
its liberality to the destitute poor. All comers have been
admitted, and as many as 500 have been admitted to the
casual wards in one week. The other parishes in the oast
have not been so liberal. In Mile-end, St. George-in-the-
East, Radcliff, and Whitechapel admit only a limited num-
ber every night. Yesterday morning 79 " casual paupers"
were admitted into the Poplar Union-house, and all were
provided with a bed and breakfast. The prisoners were
among them, and tore up their clothes. On Mr. James
Monck, the superintendent, expostulating with them, they
said their garments were old, filthy, and offensive to them.
Mr. Partridge asked Brown how old he was, to which he
replied 18 years. He also said he came from Croydon.
Mr. Partridge—Why don't you stop in your own parish,
and not come into a district overcrowded with poor and
labourers of every description.
The prisoner—l can't got any work at Croydon.
Mr. Partridge—And you boys, Clark and Griffiths, why
don't you obtain work ? You are stout healthy fellows.
Mr. Partridge—You are all sentenced to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for 21 days.
About 100 "casuals," as the workhouse authorities term
them, who have been sheltered in Poplar union house since
a merciful act was passed by the Legislature, have been
convicted for tearing up their clothes.
