BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

DRY LODGINGS IN A BARBER'S SHOP.—John Hall was brought up,
charged by :IS F Division, with assaulting him in the execution of his
duty. It appeared that about eleven o'clock last night, the prisoner was
ejected from a house in Crown-street, Soho, in a state of intoxication,
and on the complainant's going up to him to ascertain what was the mat-
ter with him, he struck him such a violent blow on the side of the head
as to cause a singing in his ear, and in order to prevent him doing any
other mischief he gave him a lodging in the station-house.

Frederick Bullen, a barber, residing in Crown-street, stated, that
while he was last night in'the act of operating on the upper story of a
gentleman in his shop, with the red.hot curling-irons in his hand,
the prisoner made his appearance, and planted himself very com-
fortably at the fire. As witness was occasionally obliged to shift
his position to do justice to the gentleman's pc-ricraniunt, he ob-
served the prisoner deliberately taking off his boots and preparing
to take up his abode for the night. Witness seeing he was
drunk, and suspecting that in that condition he could not have
a razor applied to his chin, insisted he snottld instantly leave his pre.
mises, upon which he assaulted him and would have repeated the
offence had not his customer interfered to prevent him, nor would he
have taken his departure till morning, but he got terrified at seeing the
red-hot curling tongs brandished over his head.
The prisoner said he was ignorant of what had happened, as he was
very drunk; and, after expressing his sorrow, he was ordered to pay a
fine of 10s. or go to prison for a fortnight.
STEALING IN COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.—James Nult, a fellow who
is constantly about the market, was charged by Moore, a constable, who
stated, that at six o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner deliberately
take a quantity of oranges from a stand, and on perceiving that he was
about to be taken into custody he ran away, but was overtaken in a
short time, when there were found upon him the 21 oranges produced,
and which belonged to some person unknown.

The prisoner said the oranges were lying on the pavement, and he
thought no person could claim them.
He was sent to prison for fourteen days.

HATTON GARDEN-(THIS DAY).

The landlord of the Horse and Groom, Theobald's Road, was sum-
moned before Messrs. Roonas and BENNErr, the sitting Magistrates, for
serving during the hours of Divine service.
Inspector Jenkins of the E division, stated that he entered the above
house on Sunday, the 31st December, about twelve o'clock in the fore.
noon, and found two persons in the parlour, drinking ale. This state-
ment was corroborated by a policeman of the same division.
The Landlord said, that on Sunday morning before ten o'clock, Mr.
How, the livery-stable keeper of Ilorse and Groom-yard, and another
gentleman, entered his house and asked him if he would allow his ser.
vant to cock a steak, to which he replied in the affirmative, and that the
half-and-half, (not ale, as stated by the policeman), which they drank wills
it, was drawn at the same time.

Mr. How said that neither he orhis friend had any thing atter ten.
Mr. ROGERS-Don't swear that Sir, when the Inspector states he
saw you sitting in the parlour with ale before you at twelve o'clock.

Mr. How—But I will swear it.

Mr. Roomes—When you were so near your own house, why could
you not have your steak there instead of going to a public house?

Mr. How—Because the butchers' shops were closed.

Mr. BENNETT thought the case was sufficiently proved, and the land.
lord was fined 205., which he Immediately paid.
