POLICE-THIS DAY.

MABLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING AT ATTACHE TO THI4 BRAZILIAN EMBASSY
—Two young men named Wm. Samuel Russell and John
Cowen, were charged before Mr, Tyrwhitt with stealing a
pocket-book and some papers from the person of the Cheva•
Her Bento Jose Martins, attache to the Brazilian Embassy
in Paris, and staying at 3, Bentinck•street, Cavendish-
square.

Dawson, 301 A, on Saturday night saw the prisoners
bustling about among the persons coming out of the Lon-
don Pavilion. He then followed the prisoners to Windmill-
street, and near the Argyll Rooms saw the prisoners follow
the prosecutor, when Russell put his hand into the coat
pocket of the prosecutor, and withdrew it with a pocket-
book. He seized the prisoners and took them to Vine-
street, and on the book being examined it was found to be-
long to the prosecutor, who, in consequence, attended to
prosecute.

- The pocket-book and contents having been identified by
the prosecutor as his property,
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial.
UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—John Mahomed, a man of
colour, who has frequently been charged at this court, was
charged with the following unprovoked assault on a girl
named Harriett Thackeray, of 13, Churchway, Euston-
road.

The girl was waiting for her aunt on Saturday night in
Piccadilly, when the prisoner without the slightest pro-
vocation, struck her a violent blow in the chest, felling her
to the ground. A gentleman went to the girl's assistance
and picked her up, and another pursued the prisoner, who,
it appeared, also tried to kick the girl and then ran away.
A female named Meason, bore witness to the unprovoked
nature of the assault.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the fellow for a month with
hard labour.

SOUTH WARK.

ROBBERIES AT LICENSEDVICTUALLERS.—Jobn Prosser,
a young fellow about 20 years of age, was brought before
Mr. Burcham for final examination, charged with at-
tempting to steal a cash box, containing a large sum of
money, in the Dun Cow public-house, Old Kent-road.
It appeared, from the evidence of Barnard, the barman
to the prosecutor, that on Sunday afternoon, the 23d ult.,
about 3 o'clock, the prisoner and another man came to the
bar and called for some half and half. Witness served
them. The prisoner, a few minutes aftewards, went towardi
the parlour, and his companion asked for a cigar. While
ho was attending to :aim he lost sight of the prisoner, but
turning round a few minutes afterwards, he saw the pri-
soner in the private bar parlour, near the cupboard by the
fireplace, in which was the cash box, containing a large sum
of money. Witness instantly rushed into the room and
asked him what he was doing there. He replied that
he did not know. He was looking out for a
coffee-shop. Witness called in a constable, and gave him
into custody. On examining the cupboard he found marks
of violence, shewing that an attempt had been made to force
it open.

Sergeant Pearce, 7 M, said he took the prisoner into cus-
tody, and he had some difficulty in getting him to the sta-
tion-house. When at the latter place he dropped the iron
chisel produced. He had since compared it with the marks
on the cupboard, and found it to correspond. Since the
last examination he had been informed that the landlord
of,the Alscott Arms, Bermondsey, had been robbed of his
cash-box containing near £lOO in a similar way, and the
chisel also corresponded with the marks on Mr. Gorang's
cupboard.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of that, or his inten-
tion to rob the Dun Cow. He was drunk, and did not
know how he got there.

Mr. Burcham convicted him as a rogue and vagabond by
sentencing him to throe months' hard labour.

THE Two SISTERS .—SAN GIIINIRY AFFRAY.--Ann
Kaylor, a masculine•looking woman, aged 21, was brought
before Mr. Selfe charged with assaulting and wounding
Ellen Holmes, her sister, at 3, Lamb-court, Ratcliff.

Lamb-court has been a fearful place for quarrels and dis-
turbances, and the magistrates have more than once ex-
pressed an opinion that the place is misnamed, and that it
ought to be called Lion-court. The prisoner and her sister,
who keep a disorderly house, were quarrelling last night
about money matters and began fighting. The prisoner,
who was armed with a stone, beat her sister about the head
with it in a very savage manner, and laid her prostrate on
the floor. She was found in that state by a police-constable
named Isaac Pawsey, who conveyed her in an insensible
condition to the London Hospital, where she is now under
medical treatment. Pawsey said the room in which he
found the sisters was like a slaughter-house. There was a
pool of blood on the floor, and the head of the woman
Holmes was cut in a frightful manner.

Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until Friday next.
A DISHONEST GlRL.—Emma Rolt, aged 14, who was
called Roach, and whose parents are dwelling at No. 4,
Labour-in-Vain-street, Shadwell, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with stealing a gold chain and a locket,
value £7105., the property of Mr. Jacob Schiller, a German.
Tho prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Schiller for
a few days only, and he recently missed a watch chain and
locket from his bed-room. Suspicion fell on the prisoner,
and a police constable, named Edmund Conley, was em•
ployed in the matter, and on calling on the prisoner's sis-
ter she admitted that the prisoner had stolen the property,
and told him where it was to be found. The watch, chain,
and locket were recovered.

The prisoner, a sullen girl, pleaded guilty. She would
give no explanation of her conduct. She had a good situa-
tion, and was comfortably provided for in Mr. Schiller's
house.

Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to three months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.

UNNATURAL CONDUCT OF A FATHER.—William Clark,
an artisan, was charged with deserting his children.
Mr. William Thomas Tubbs, relieving officer of St.
Luke's, Chelsea, stated the particulars of the case. He
said that on Wednesday, the 10th of September, two chil-
dren, respectively aged 2i and 6 years of age, were brought
to him in a destitute condition by a poor woman who minds
children for some trifling gratuity per day. On his making
some inquiries, he learned that the children had been left
with her a fortnight before that ; nobody had been to pay
for them and take them away, and she could not afford to
keep them any longer. Witness took the children into the
workhouse. On the following Saturday the porter at the
workhouse met the prisoner drunk in the streets, at Chel-
sea, and brought him to the workhouse. He was then
informed that his children were there, and that he must take
them away. To enable him to do so, when sober, defendant
had a bed given to him in the workhouse that night, but
whenthey were preparing to start him with his children in
the morning it was discovered that he had got out of a win-
dow during the night and absconded. Nothing was heard
of him until Monday night, when he was met with and
given into custody.

Defendant entered into a long rambling story, by which
he endeavoured to excuse himself.
Mr. Dayman told him that the long story he had told
was nothing whatever to do with the case.

Defendant—l am quite willing to support my childien.
Mr. Day man—That does not seem to be the case.

Defendant—l had not the means to support them.
Mr. Dayman--It is quite evident that you had the means
to get drunk. You owe the parish £3 2s. for the mainte-
nance of your children. Are you prepared to pay it ?

Defendant—l have no means of paying it.
Mr. Dayman—You have deserted your childrePt
therefore committed for three months' hard labour in the
House of Correction. and are

LORD BROUGHAM'S HEAD.—Mrs. Brougham,
mother of the ex-Chancellor, was a most excellent and
thrifty housewife. On one occasion she was much troubled
with a servant addicted to dish-breaking, and who used to
allege, in extenuation of her fault, "it was crackit before."
One morning little Sorry tumbled down stairs, when the
fond mother, running after him exclaimed, " Oh I boy, have
you broke your head ?" " No, ma," Said the future Chan-
cellor, "it was crackit before 4"
