POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP-STREET. —The Rev. John G. Angley
one of the curates of Christchurch, St. George's-in-the-
East, was brought before Mr. D'Eyncourt upon the
charge of assaulting and obstructing two police constables
of the H division, in the execution of their duty.
Police-constable Hudson, II 78, said—About 8 o'clock
on Saturday night I was on duty near the Pavilion
Theatre, in the Whitechapel-road, when I saw several
girls and boys standing about with baskets of oranges,
which caused an obstruction on the foot pavement. As
soon as they saw me they fell back into the road, and
two or three oranges having fallen out of the basket of
one of the girls, I picked them up and threw them to
her. I was then proceeding after them for the purpose
of driving them away, when the defendant hastened after
me, and, seizing hold of my arm, struck me a smart blow
over the back with his thick end of his walking stick, at
the same time demanding what business I had to inter-
fere with the phor girls, who were merely endeavouring
to get an honest living. The defendant appeared much
excited at the time, and, after telling him that he had
no business to interfere with me in the discharge of my
duties, lat once took him into custody. On our way
to the station house the defendant conducted himself in
a very intemperate manner, calling my brother officer a
liar, and flourished his stick in such a menacing manner
that I found it necessary to wrest it from him for self-
protection,

On cross-examination by the defendant the constable
positively denied that he had thrown one of the girls
down or that he had used any more violence on the
occasion than was absolutely necessary to effect her
removal.

Payne, 156 H, fully corroborated the above evidence,
and added that while he was assisting the other officer
to clear the thoroughfare, the defendant suddenly
seized him by the shoulder and dragged him round
by main force, declaring at the time that he insisted
upon taking his number. On being taken into cus-
tody, the defendant announced himself to be a
clergyman, but he exhibited so much violence in his
language and demeanour that witness was decidedly
under the impression that he was not perfectly sober.
George Teakle, an ex-sergeant of police, stated that
whilst standing at the door-of the Pavilion Theatre at
the time in question, he heard an angry altercation
between the accused and the first witness ; the latter
of whom was afterwards proceeding towards one of
the fruit women, when he was rapidly followed by
the defendant, who caught him by the arm, with
the evident intention of preventing him from inter-
fering with her. The defendant had a stick in his
hand at the time, but he saw no blows struck on either
side.

Inspector Kendall stated that he received the
charge at the station-house, and whilst he was inves-
tigating the particulars, the defendant alleged, in ex-
tenuation of his conduct, that the constable had upset
the girl's oranges, but he did not then charge him
with having assaulted her. While he was taking
down the charge, the defendant became so noisy and
obstreperous that witness came to the conclusion that he
had been drinking, but he considered it probable that
his violent manner was merely the result of exasperation
and excitement.
On being called upon for his defence, the rev. gentle-
man earnestly assured the magistrate that the facts of
the case, as stated by the witnesses, had been grossly
exaggerated, and that a most unwarrantable aggression
and indignity had been practised towards him. At the
hour in question he was passing down the Whitechapel-
road, when he observed the constable driving several
poor orange girls before him with a degree of unjustifi-
able and unnecessary harshness, and immediately upon
his overtaking one of them, he struck her a violent blow
on the head, the force of which instantly upset her bas-
ket and scattered her fruit about the pavement. After
remonstrating with him upon his unfeeling conduct, he
advanced towards him for the purpose of taking his
number, when he was instantly seized by the officer, who
called another one to his assistance, and he was forcibly
taken off to the station-house. He denied most em-
phatically having assaulted either of the officers, and
with regard to the unworthy insinuation against his
ebriety, he trusted that it was wholly unnecessary for
him to repel such a disgraceful imputation.
Catherine M'Carthy, the fruit girl above referred to,
was then called, and stated that, while she was vending
her oranges, one of the policemen ran up to her and
struck her a violent blow on the side of the head, which
caused the fruit to roll out of her basket. The police-
man then picked up her oranges and threw them out
into the road, and while he was doing so the defendant
kindly interfered for her, when two of the constables laid
hold of him and took him away by force.
William Scott, a Custom-house officer, stated that he
was about to enter the theatre, when he saw the police-
man rush towards the last witness, and strike her two
heavy blows in rapid succession on the side of the head,
which caused her to fall forward upon her knees. Wit-
ness expressed his indignation at such brutality, and the
defendant, who happened to be looking on, intimated
that huld take the officer's number ; but on ap-
proachine wog
him for that purpose, he was immediately
secured, and conveyed to the station-house.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said, that after attentively consider-
ing the evidence, he could come to no other conclusion
than that the charge had been completely established.,
He saw no reason whatever to disbelieve the evidence of
the officers, who corroborated each other in every par-
ticular ; whereas the two witnesses, who had been called
for the defence, so materially differed in their testimony
that it was perfectly manifest that one or both. of them
had committed deliberate perjury. Ho should, there-
fore, convict the defendant of the assault, and impose
upon him a penalty of 205., or five days' imprisonment.
The defendant, who appeared greatly discomposed,
immediately paid the fine, with an intimation that he
considered he had not been justly treated, and that he
should carry the matter elsewhere.

MARYLEBONE.—Tohn M`Grail, a labourer, was
charged with haring committed a murderous assault
upon Bridget, his wife.
On the previous night, as Sergeant Delany, 16 D,
was passing along Orcas-street, Portman-market, he was
met by a female, who told him that a man had nearly
murdered his wife at No. 16, in the street alluded to.
Witness hastened thither, and upon the first floor land-
ing he saw the poor woman leaning upon the shoulder
of her son. Blood was flowing from her head, and she
seemed quite insensible. Witness lifted her up, and, on
questioning her a short time afterwards as to who had
injured her, she replied in a faint tone of voice that it
was her husband. I went into the prisoner's room,
where I saw him sitting by the fire. I asked him how
he accounted for the assault made by him upon his wife,
when he made answer that some words ensued between
them, and that he struck her with a small gridiron which
he happened to have in his hand. I took the woman to
St. Mary's Hospital in a cab, the prisoner accompany-
ing us ; and after I had left the woman there to receive
proper medical assistance, I conveyed the prisoner to the
station-house, the doctor having certified that he could
not pronounce the wife to be out of danger. I subse-
quently went to the house, and there learnt from one of
the prisoner's sons that his mother was not struck with
the small gridiron spoken of, but with a heavy iron im-
plement used by plasterers, and called a "server."
The poor injured woman was not in a fit condition to
come forward ; and the prisoner, who denied having
struck his wife with the server, was remanded.

MELANCHOLY CASE OP DROWNING.—OXFORD, SATUR-
DAL—The society of Magdalen College has again been
plunged into great grief by a fatal accident which oc-
curred to Mr. Giles Daubeny, one of the younger mem-
bers of that society, a relative of Dr. Daubeny, profes-
sor of chemistry and botany, and a Fellow of Magdalen
College. Mr. Daubeny, in company with a friend, was
in a boat called a "gig," in a back stream, near Riley,
when the boat was upset, and unfortunately Mr.. Dau-
beny was drowned. An inquest was held at Iffley
yesterday morning, when the particulars of this melan-
choly occurrence were gone into. The jury expressed
themselves satisfied with the evidence, and without
clearing the room returned a verdict of " Acciden-
tal death by drownink from the upsetting of a
boat at the Weirs Lasher Pool." Mr. Daubeny was a
commoner of Magdalen College, and a relative of a gen-
tleman of the same name who was also a member of the
same college, and who about two years ago was killed
by falling off a railway bridge near Oxford. This was
his first term of residence. He had been at college only
a few days. The members of Magdalen met on the 3d
inst.
