POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUS E.—Mr. .116-r7'itt,o, Xlaber and
Mr. Richard Bell, the former charged with keeping on
his promises, in Albion-plce,
Loi.don-wad, the lattor
charted with keeping on i
premises in C.innon-s+reet
tis
fI
West, large quantities of !um er matches, and thereby
endangering the lives and health of the inhabitants of
these localities, appeared for the purpose of abiding the
decision of the alderman in the cases submitted a short
time ago to the Lord Mayor. Alderman .Humphery
presided.
Upon the part of Mr. Klaber, Mr. Sidney stated that
it was the intention of his client to remove stock to
which objection had been made, and merely to keep a
place fora countinghouse and samples. Under such
circumstances it was hoped by Mr. Klaber that the
prosecution would not be persevered in.
In the case of Mr. Bell, Mr. Haines said that his
client had, since the last investigation, constructed a
fire-proof room on his premises, in which room all the
lucifer matches in stock could be securely deposited,
so that there could exist no possibility of hazard to the
lives or health of the public or the inhabitants of the
neighbourhood arising from the practise of trading in
the article.

Alderman Humphery said he considered that the
securities for the abatement of what he looked upon as
a dangerous and offensive nuisance had not been forth-
coming in either case, and that he thought he was
bound to send the two cases before another tribunal for
decision as to the nature and extent of the requisite
securities.

The defendant in each case was then bound over in
the sum of 1001. to appear at the next Old Bailey Ses-
sions, to abide the decision of the authorities there.
John Wood was charged with having stolen three
loaves of bread.
John Owen said—l am in the employment of Mr.
M‘Farlane Old Jewry-street, Aldgate. At half-partnine o'clock this morning, as I was serving a customer
in Lombard-street, I saw the prisoner leaning against
my barrow, and, after watching an opportunity, whip
tbree quartern loaves out of a basket which was hang-
ing on the barrow and make off with them. I followed
and grabbed him, and he immediately dropped the
bread, and b...,gged me to let him go. I have seen him
watching me about the streets as I have been serving
customers, and have missed bread several times.
The prisoner said he was, together„with his wife and
three children, suffering great distress.

The prisoner was committed fur 21 days to Holloway
prison.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Joseph Davis, a journeyman
bricklayer, was charged before Mr. Hammitt with having
assaulted and wounded Cornelius Meaghan, a lad 15
years of age, by striking him on the head with a
hammer.

The complainant, who was evidently in a state of ex-
treme suffering, and appeared with his head enveloped
in hospital bandages, stated that he was in the employ-
ment of a builder at Mile-end, for whom the prisoner
also worked, and on the previous afternoon, while they
were occupied in performing some repairs at a brewery
in the Hackney-road, the prisoner commenced quarrel-
ling with him without the slightest provocation, and
imbed him violently out of his way. On asking him
what he meant by such treatment, the prisoner instantly
raised a heavy hammer with which he was at work, and
struck him on the head with such force that he fell sense-
less to the ground. He had no knowledge of anything
that, took place afterwards, but on recovering his con-
sciousness he found himself under the care of a police-
Man, who conveyed him to the hospital.
Daniel Murphy. a workman at the brewery, stated
that at the time in question his attention was attracted
by an altercation between the parties, and while pro-
ceeding towards, them, ho saw the prisoner deliberately
raise the boy in his arms and dash him down three times
in succession. After the first fall the complainant ap-
peared completely stupified, and he remained insensible
fur ten minutes, bleeding profusely from the back of the
head, which came in contact with some brickwork.
Witness immediately procured the assistance of a po-
liceman, who took the prisoner into custody, and re-
moved the complainant to the hospital.
Mr. Harnruill ordered the prisoner to be remanded
for a week, to await the result of his violence, aid
directed the injured lad to be con veyod back in a cab :o
the hospital.

CLERKENWELL.—BoIjaii,;?, Wilkiisois, an athic-
tic desperate-looking fellow, .Wit 3 placed at the bar,
charged with a brutal assault upon Mrs. Julia Benton,
of 2, Compton-street. Brunswick-square, by which she
was seriously injured. •
The prosecntrix was in a weakly state whilst giving
her evidence. She said that on Tuesday night, about
half-past nine o'clock, she was walking by herself in
Gray's-inn-lane, when the prisoner carne up to ber, and,
without saying a word, struck her with great violence
on-the breast, which kn,cked her down. She fell on
her head, which was much injured. She became insen-
sible, and was taken away for medical assistance.
Emma Scammell, of 27, Grafton-street, Newport-
market, said on the same evening she saw the prisoner
assault other ladies in a similar brutal manner, and she
herself narrowly escaped his violence. She at lenuth
saw him assault Mrs. Benton. lie used a most disgust-
ing expression when he struck her.
John Warren, 225 G, who took the prisoner into
custody, gave confirmatory evidence. •
Inspector Jenks, G, recognised the prisoner RS an in-
corrigible vagrant, who was in the practice of accosting
lades for alms, and assaulting them in the event of their'
refusal to give them.

Mrs. Becton baid she was scarcely able to walk
through the injuries she had received from the prisoner's
violence.

The prisoner said nothing in his defence. He admitted
that he obtained a livelihood by begging.
Mr. Hammitt indignantly said that such conduct was
infamou,ly disgraceful, and he was determined to put it
down by the strong arm of the law. It was not to he
tolerated that females should be grossly assaulted in the
public street by such cowardly ruffians as the prisoner,
and they must be protected, He sentenced him to six
months' imprisonment with hard labour in the House of
Correction.
