POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET. —Elizabeet Lucas, a well-dressed mar-
ried woman, was charged with creating a disturbance
and damaging the confectionary at the shop of Mrs.
Warne, 112, High Holborn.
The prosecutrix said that at five o'clock yesterday after-
noon the defendant came to the shop, and pointing to a
very large bun in the window, expressed a wish to have
it, and put down a penny in payment. Witness declined
to " pick and choose," but told defendant that if she
thought proper to take sixpenny worth, the big one
should be included. The defendant objected to this, and
demanded the monster bun, because it was placed among
the others, which wei e ticketted " One Penny." Wit-
ness declined to serve her, and then defendant began
picking up the buns one after another, and pelting wit-
ness across the counter. Her conduct attracted a crowd
of at least 150 people, and about ss. worth of buns were
destroyed by being strewn over the shop and broken to
pieces. No policeman could be got for more than
half an hour, but eventually the defendant, who ap-
peared under the influence of liquor, was given into
custody.
The defendant, who fainted during the examination,
said that the buns were chiefly broken by the prosecutrix
herself, in resisting her. She considered that she had a
perfect right to pick out the bun in question.
Mr. Henry considered it unfair to put a large bun
among the penny ones, and then refuse to sell it at the
price at which they were ticketed.
The defendant's husband said she was a rather excit-
able woman, but a very good wife upon the whole. He
did not believe she was ever drunk in her life.
Mr. Henry ordered her to pay the damages, which
was done, and she was then discharged.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—John Rudd, a well-
dressed young man, who described himself as a clerk in
the Ordnance-office, Woolwich, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Hardwick, charged with being drunk and
assaulting Mr. Aaron George Jones, 29, Sao-square.
The complainant stated that about 7 o'clock last night
he was crossing Regent-street, into Air-street, when the
defendant, who was drunk, pushed violently against hint,
and on his remonstrating with him, he (defendant) called
him lq an offensive epithet. Complainant, not wishing
to be. assailed by such disgusting language, walked on
into Piccadilly. The prisoner followed bins and repeated
the offensive language. Complainant, feeling intimi-
dated by defendant's conduct, called a constable and
gave him in charge.
In answer to the charge, defendant said he was very
sorry for what had occurred ; but he had been drinking
with some friends and had forgotten himself.
He was fined 40s. The money was immediately paid-
Henry Ossultre, a well-dressed parson of foreign ap-
pearance, who stated he was a near relative of an ad-
miral now on service, was brought before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with having assaulted the police, and otherwise
miwconducting himself in the public streets.
Inspector Monkton (C division) said— About three
o'clock that morning he Was in the Haymarket, when he
found the prisoner surrounded by a mob of persons in a
state of intoxication. The defendant had a heavy
whip in his band, and one of the persons by whom he
was surrounded complained that the defendant had beeno
lashing bins with the whip. Witness requested t,hed a-
fondant, who was very violent, to cease from making..e, _
1 disturbance and to go away. The defendant applied a
low filthy epithet to him, and told him if he di be
off he would give bins a good thrashing. Witness,pu, tis

him.
Mr. Hardwick said it was clear that a violent assault
had been committed on the police, because they did their
duty, namely, attemted to preserve the public peace.

commit him to prison for 21 days.
