Macintosh—You made an allusion to the Haymarket,
that was uncalled for and very unjust. _

Mitchell, 298 A, confirmed the sergeant, and said that
Williams had a night-cap on, and was dancing about the
streets, and the others were hallowing at him. Williams
pulled out a sovereign, and offered to fight him (Mitchell)
for it. Ho saw Williams in custody of Sergeant Brown, who
told him to take Rowland. On doing so, Rowland seized
him by the throat and swung him against the shutters,
and said, "No - policeman should take him," and made
a blow at him and knocked his hat off in the road. Macin-
tosh then came up and said Rowland should not be taken,
and then swung his umbrella round and knocked his hat
off. About seven or eight constables then came up and
the whole of the defendants were taken to the station.
Rowland and Williams were both drunk, but Macintosh
was sober,
Francis Allwood, 186 C, said Macintosh knocked his hat
over his eyes, and Rowland was very vivlcnt. Twv of the
defendants were drunk.
The defendants denied all alleged ogainst them by the
police. Macintosh said that Williams offered to fight ono
of the constables, and there was some chaffing.
A witness was called for the defence, and was sworn.
He gave his name as Brown, and on Mr. Knox asking him
whether it was his correct name he said it was not, upon
which Mr. Knox ordered him to stand down. •
1 Macintosh said his friend had given a wrong name be-
cause he did not wish to have his name in the paters.
Mr. Knox said he believed the evidence of the police,
whose duty it was to keep order, in preference to that of two
or three drunken persons. He should fine each of the de-
f endants £5 or a month.

THAMES.
A REGULAR TERMAGANT.—Mary Page, a strong and
masculine-looking woman, with a baby in her arms, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, in custody of Daniel Smith,
an officer of the court, charged with assaulting Mary Page,
an elderly woman.
The case arose out of a transaction which took place in
a stable yard in Poplar, a few weeks since. There was a
great disturbance there, and a police-constable was seriously
wounded with a pitchfork. The offender was committed
for trial. The complainant, Mrs. Page, was a witness on
the occasion. Directly the parties left the court one of
the witnesses was struck in the passage on the eye, and on
the same night a mob, consisting of the friends of the ruffian
who was committed, assembled in front of the coin-
plainant's residence in Brunswick. road, Blackwell,
am.i set up a shouting and yelling, and also
threw stones at the windows of the house. The
woman fose from her bed for the purpose of expostulating,
and was aseAiled with the most vulgar abuse and threats.
One stone hit her on the head. The complainant spoke
doubtingly of the prisoner at first, but afterwards said that
she was sure the prisoner was among the rioters.
Mary Ann Stperman said she was struck on the eye in
the passage of the court, directly after the investigation of
the riot of June.
Other evidence was given, from which it appeared that
1 the prisoner had been in custody before foi an assault, and
that she did not appear to the summons avinst her, and
was arrested on Saturday night upon a warrant.
