ALLEGED GROSS MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.-Mr.
Henry Ebislett, a person of very gentlemanly appearance
and address, was charged with being drunk and assaulting
the police.
Police-constable Hickson, 191 B, said that at 11 o'clock

last night he found the defendant and a prostitute talking
together loudly in Grosvenor-row. He told them to move
on, when the woman did so, but the defendant refused,
declaring that he was a gentleman, and that if the. con-
stable interfered with him he would throw him into the
Thames. He then struck witness a blow 'in the chest, and
afterwards kicked him violently.
Another constable, named Cox, said he found them
struggling on the ground.
George Ferman, a plain clothes constable, gave similar
testimony. Defendant walked quietly to the station; he
was drunk.

Defendant entreated the magistrate to hear him atten

tively, and said that nothing could be more frightful than
this charge ; and if the police could not perform their office
with more justice and honesty they had better cease to
exist altogether. He had been drinking, it was true, but
was within eight yards of his own house, and opposite it,
when the constable Hickson said to him " You go on
from here." As he was walking at the time, and had com-
mitted no offence, he was naturally indignant, and made
use of strong language. He was then seized and taken to
the station, after Ferman, without the least provocation,
had struck him a violent blow. Ho (defendant) saw no
prostitute, and never spoke to one, nor was it likely when
scarcely more than half a dozen yards from home.
Mr. Selfe, in allusion to tho past, said that Kirkson was
a man whose testimony ho should like to have confirmed.

Ue should dismiss the charge of assault, but as defendant,
upon his own showing, was intoxicated, he should fine
him ss.

THAMES.

FEROCIOUS DOGS.—Edward Thompson, a labourer, who
was very lame and ill, came before Mr. Partridge to com-
plain that be had been bitten by a ferocious dog, belonging
to a man named John Smith, of No. 33, Essex-street, Com-
mercial-road. The applicant was prssing along the street
and a dog flew at him and bit his leg severely.
Howland, No. 89 H, an officer of the court, said that a
summons against Smith was granted by Mr. Paget. It was
made returnable yesterday and Smith did not appear. The
man was suffering from the bite, and could not attend to
his occupation.
Mr. Partridge desired the man to exhibit his wounded
leg if he could do so without danger to himself The man
complied with the magistrate's request, and exhibited a
very angry wound on his leg.
Mr. Partridge said the wound was a very bad one and
enough to excite the worst fears. He issued a warrant for
the apprehension of the owner of the dog, and directed
Howland to execute it directly if possible.
A poor woman, leading a little. girl with its eyebrow
lacerated, complained that it had been bitten by a dog.
She could not find the owner. Her child had been under
medical treatment and was very ill. The eye was in
danger.

The magistrate regretted he could not not interfere in
this case, and directed the applicant to give information at
the station-house of the district where the child w as bitten.
If the owner could be found, a summons would be imme-
diately granted. The numerous dogs in the streets un-
muzzled, and many without owners, were a great public
nuisance and very dangerous.
The poor woman was assured by the police-constables in
attendance that everything possible would be done to find
the owner of the dog.

MARKETS---This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were moderate. The demand for most qualities
ruled far from active, nevertheless a fair proportion of the
supply was disposed of at Monday's decline in the quo-
tations.

With foreign wheat the market was but moderately sup-
plied. Generally speaking the trade ruled quiet, at late
rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request
on former terms.

Barley, the supply of which on sale:was very moderate,
moved off steadily, at full quotations.
Malt made a slow sale, at late rates.
There was a good supply of oats on the stands, and most
qualities were in fair demand, at about Monday's currency.
Beans and peas ruled firm, at full prices.
For flour there was a fair demand, at about stationary
prices.
