ArABLBOBOUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY

ASSAULTING A POLICE-CONSTABLE.

Mr. Viviam. Webber, who wa, described on the charge
sheet as an officer in the army, was charged before Mr.
Bingham with being drunk and assaulting Police-con-
stable Oxer, 111 C, while in the execution of his duty.
The constable stated that on the previous night he
was on duty near the Argyle-rooms, Great Windmill-
street, when his attention was called to the defendant,
who was very drunk and obstructing the visitors to the
rooms. Witness desired defendant to move on, which
he refused to do ; and on witness putting his hand on
his shoulder to remove him, he (defendant) struck him
on the mouth. Witness then took him into custody.
Defendant admitted being very drunk and excited,
and while in that state might have conducted himself as
the constable had described, for which he was exceed-
ingly sorry.
Mr. Bingham said a person in defendant's position
ought to have known better than raise his hand against
a police constable. It was very fortunate for defendant
that the officer was not hurt, and as a warning to him
for the future he (Mr. Bingham) should fine him 40s.
The money was at once paid.
