VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON POLICE CONSTABLES,--David
Dudge, aged 28, a carman of Romford, Essex, was brought
before Mr. Woolrych charged with being drunk, fighting,
and assaulting William Turner, 64 H, Joseph Swan, 440 A,
William Chandler, 117 H, and Ambrose Sutton, 422 A, in
the execution of their duty in High-street, Whitechapel, at
10 o'clock yesterday, and also damaging a uniform coat to
the value of 10s.

Thomas Corderoy, aged 40, of No. 111, Kingsland-road,
Shoreditch, cabinetmaker, and Sarah Taylor, 30, described
as a widow, of No. 10, Lock's-fields, were charged with
inciting a mob to rescue the prisoner Dudge from the cus-
tody of the police near the station-house, in Lensan-street,
Whitechapel. The two last named prisoners were brought
before Mr. Woolrych yesterday afternoon, and Dunaway,
129 H, and Kitchen 68 H, clearly made out the charge
against them, and it was proved that the High-street and
Leman•street were in a state of uproar for half an hour.
Dudge was reported as too drunk to appear. He laid in
the station-house all night, and was brought up this morn-
ing. He is a powerful fellow,

Turner said that at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon he saw the prisoner fighting with another man in
Whitechapel, High -street. He separated them, and one of
the men went away. He begged of the prisoner to leave,
and proceed in a contrary direction. The prisoner refused
to do so, and knocked him down, and when he was down
kicked his hat off. The prisoner, who was very drunk,
assaulted several persons and gave a good deal of trouble.
Swan, 440 A, stated that at half-past one yesterday his
attention was called to a disorderly mob in the High-street,
and the priscner struggling with the last witness. He
went to the assistance of Turner, and the prisoner kicked
him on the knee.
Sutton, 422 A, said—A gentleman fetched me at White-
chapel Church yesterday, and told me my brother officers
were being knocked about. I went to their assistance and
found the prisoner kicking and plunging violently, and
striking at everyone near him. He chucked me on my
back and tore my coat. The uniform coat of the witness was
produced. It was completely divided, and the collar torn.
Chandler, 117 H, said—Yesterday afternoon I found
three police constables struggling with the prisoner. He
was exceedingly violent. He threw me down and kicked
me several times. All business was stopped in the High-
street for half an hour; and an immense number of carts,
omnibuses, cabs, and other vehicles blocked up the street,
and the confusion was really frightful. The prisoner as-
saulted several other persons. After Corderoy and Taylor
were secured we put Dudge on a stretcher, strapped him
fast, and carried him to the station-house.
The prisoner said he was very drunk yesterday, and did
not remember what he did.
Mr. Woolrych said that the prisoner Dudge had
rcom-
mitted several violent assaults, and his conduct was%
like that of a madman than any thing else. He ordered
him to to pay a fine of 40s. for the assaults on the lice' fine of
for tearing Swan's uniform coat, and an additio
