POLICE-THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER.
UNFouNDED CHARGE.,—Richard Cooper, a young man
of gentlemanly appearance and add•;:ess, was charged with
an assault.
Charles Castle said—l ar:i a tailors' assistant, and live
at 82, Tichbrook-street: I left Holborn at half-past 11
last night, and got in.to the neighbourhood of my home at
about half-past 12. I was crossing the Vauxhall-bridge
with a small umbrella in one hand and a carpet bag in the
other, when I was suddenly struck by this man. I was
struck across the nose, which made it bleed very much, and
I feel the effects of it now.

Mr. Paynter—Did he say anything to you ?
Complainant—Not a word.

Mr. Paynter—Surely there was some provocation?
Complaizmid—Not the least. When I was struck my
hat rolled off several yards. I followed, the defendant and
gave him in chlrge, but the policeman seemed to be inti-
mate with him and said I was drunk.
Mr. Paynter—Were you drunk f
Complainant—No, I was sober.
George Henry Witcher, 7 It, said he heard a cry of
" Police I" in Moreton-street, at half-past one this morning,
and I found complainant, defendant, and three other men.
Complainant gave the defendant in charge.
Mr. Paynter—Was he drunk or sober ?
Policeman--Drunk. On our way to the station com-
plainant went off the kerb no less than ten times.
Defendant—l know nothing about assaulting him. I
never touched him, and can prove it.
-Joseph Simpson, of 23, Moreton-terrace, proved that he
and complainant had some difference about a hat being
thrown at the complainant, when the latter struck him with
his umbrella, and he returned the blow.
Mr. Paynter said defendant had been unjustly confined,
and discharged him.
Defendant asked for redress for his false.imprisonment.
Mr. Poynter said he must apply elsewhere.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
BURGLARY IN OXFORD-STREET.—Robert Burns, Alfred
Osborne, and William Donovan, were echarged before Mr.
Knox with burglariously breaking and entering the house
of Mr. George Adam, dealer in silver-plattd goods, of 87,
Oxford-street, and stealing a large quantity of goods of the
value of X5O.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for Donovan.

Mr. Ackrill, 48 F, said—Between 10 and 11 last evening
in Queen-street, Seven Dials, I saw Donovan and Burns
and two others ,not in custody. Burns was carrying a
boltet, and Osborne and one of the other men another.
They came out of No. 10, Queen-street, and all went into
No. 9. Having a suspicion, I went for assistance and re-
turned to No. 9 with Sergeants Holmes and Cole. We then
went into the cellar of No. 9, and found a quantity of pro-
perty, and then went to No. 10 and took the prisoners into
custody. Both houses belong to the prisoner-Donovan.
By-Mr. Lewis—First saw the pris6ners at the bottom of
Qu'esa-street. I was alone at the tinie. I was about six
oreoven yards from the prisoners and -the ;other two.- The
baskets the men had were like those produced. There could
be no mistake about it. After coming out of No. 10, the
whole of them went into No. 9. 'The two houses do not
join. It was bet Ween. 10 and 11.
Sergeant Walter Holmes, 3 F, said—From information
I received from Sergeant Ackrill-I went to No. 10, Queen-
street. Donovan said he should -not go in. Afterwards
went to'No. 9, and having wrenched off the padlock from
dab door and entered, I f und the baskets produced, con-
taining a quantity of plated goods. I then sent Ackrill.
and Sergeant Cole, 23 C, to No. 10 to take the prisoner into
custody, and afterwards searched the cellar of No. 10, and.
found a knife rest, a crowbar, and a " jemmy," behind a
board.

Sergeant Cole, 28 C, said—About nine last night I saw
two of the prisoners, Osborne and Burns, near Crown-
street, Soho, and knowing them I watched -them, and saw
Osborne and another man go into a leaving shop, and then
with Sergeant Holmes and Ackrill went to No. 10, Queen-
street, when I saw Osborne outside. Having told some
constables in uniform to take charge of Osborne, we went
into No. 10, where Donovan and Burns were at supper.
Told them I must take them into custody, when Burns said
he would not go till he had finished his supper, and that,
with an oath, they were on the wrong scent this time. On
telling Donovan that he had a quantity of metal goods in a
basket in the house, he said, " By God I have not, and you
can search the place, and the a thing will you find."
I then said if the things were not in that house they were
in No. 9, and we then took tha two prisoners, Donovanand
Burns, into custody, and then searched the next house and
there found the goods.

Mr. George Adam, of 87, Oxford-street, said yesterday
morning I was informed by my servant that the place had
been broken open, and that several cases had been rifled of
their contents. The property produced belongs to me.
sergeant Lambert, 12 E, said --I went to the prosecutor's
yesterday morning, and found the place had been broken
open, and some articles were shown to me, including a
knife, which had been left behind by the burglars. I
found marks on one of the glass cases corresponding with
the knife. I also found that a small grating in Market-
street bad been forced, and by this means persons had got
into the warehouse. There were marks as if the grating
had been recently opened.
Mr. Adam—All the goods were safe at 10 o'clock the
previous night.
Mr. Knox—l shall grant a remand.

Mr. Lewia—Will you take bail for Donovan, air

Mr. Knox—l shall most distinctly refuse bail for any of
the prisoners.
