WOOL.

The demand for wool at the public sales of colonial wool
now in progress is moderately active, but it is chiefly con-
fined to the purchase of produce by our own manufacturers,
the export inquiry being still much restricted. Good and
fine wools are now rather dearer than at last sales, whilst

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNPROVOKED AND BRUTAL ASSAULT.—CharIes Downs,
a tailor, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr.
John Willis, foreman to Mr. Bywater, carpenter and
builder, of Carnaby-street, Regent's-street.
The complainant, whose head was enveloped in ban-
dages, said that on Saturday night while talking to Mr.
Marsh, a carpenter, residing in Silver-street, Golden-
square, Mr. Marsh at the time sitting in a chair at his door,
the prisoner and another young man came against him and
made use of most insulting language towards him, and then
assaulted him, knocked him down, and severely injuring
his head, and also bruising him about the chest and body.
Ho became insensible and was obliged to have medical
attendance, and still felt a great deal of pain in his head.
In answer to questions put by Mr. Knox, the complainant
*id the prisoner threatened him before assaulting him.
Mr. Marsh, carpenter, of Silver-street, who gave his
evidence seated, being paralysed, said that while sitting at
his door the prisoner and another man came up and grossly
insulted the complainant, and said they would do for him;
the prisoner then struck the complainant three times in
the mouth. The prisoner and his companion then closed
on the complainant, threw him down, and he became in-
sensible.

The prisoner said the complainant, in the first instance
pushed against him.

Mr. Marsh said that was not true, and that the prisoner
lifted up the complainant's head while he was on the
ground and bumped the back part of it three or four times
on the pavement, and afterwards made off with his com-
panion, he (Mr. Marsh) not being able to render the com-
plainant any assistance owing to being paralysed.
Police-constable Grinham, 132 0, said that on stopping
the prisoner, who was running pursued by several persons,
in John-street, Golden-square, he said it was a bad job,
and that he could not help it.

Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the prisoner was
sober at the time, and the constable said he had been drink-
ing but was not drunk.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, and ordered a warrant
to be issued against his companion.
