POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
SWEARING EXTRAORDINARY.--A tall, thin, sharp-faced in-
dividual was brought here, charged with assaulting the land-
lord of a public-house because be refused to draw beer for him.
The complainant stated that the prisoner threatened. to
" serve him out" were it not for the law, at the same tlnl, "
shaking his fist within half an inch of the terrified old gentle
man's prominent proboscis.
A young man who was in the house at the time corroborated
this statement.
The prisoner denied the assault, and said that he had brougbt
an action in the Court of Queen's Bench against the com-
plainant, and Boniface considering himself aggrieved by the
result of the case, had taken this opportunity to annoy him.
Mr. TWYFORD asked the complainant if he had gained the
action?
The complainant could not tell exactly whether he had lost
or gained, but he believed he did not make anything by it.
Mr. TWYFORD inquired who paid the expenses?
The complainant confessed that his information upon this
point was likewise deficient.
Mr. TWYFORD (to the complainant)—Did you pay the pri-
soner's expenses, or do you know if he was compelled to d o
himself? Complainant—Can't say he paid them, but I'm sure
I didn't pay them.
Mr. Twv vont) said that if the prisoner had no witnesses to
disprove the landlord's statement, he would have to flue blot
for the assault.
Prisoner (pointing to the witness)—That fellor's word's
nothing. He'd swear the lid off an iron pot.—( A laugh•)
Whatever that old gentleman says, he's sure to swear to it.
The prisoner then gave himself a good character, but Mr•
Twvvorto ordered him to pay a fine of 55., and enter into his
own recognizance fur 20/. to keep the peace towards the corn'
plainant.
