William -Wright and Robert Hitchcock were charged with
having committed a violent and unprovoked assault on the
police.
Policeman Sullivan, C 120, said, while on duty in Gilbert-
street, Oxford-street, the prisoner Wright came up to him
with his jacket under his arm, and locked at his number. He
went away, observing that he was one of the C division con-
stables, and adding, with a dreadful imprecation, that he
would have the life of one of the D division constables. Com-

plainant went round his beat, and on his returning, he again

him right and left in the and as he was a very powerful
man his blows brought blood wherever they fell. Complainant
closed with his assailant, and while struggling with him Hitch-
cock came forward and kicked him with violence on his knee
and shin. This assault of course brought him to the ground,
with Wright uppermost, who continued to hit away at him
with all his aught. Assistance arrived at length, and witness
was rele.lsed from his situaion.

denied having used threats.
Mr. CON ANT should fine Wright the full penalty of 51-, or
two months' imprisonment, and in addition call upon him to
find security for his good behaviour for six months.
Hitchcock was fined 505., or one month's imprisonment.

anxious to ride hv the complainant's omnibus, when she called
the conductor, who was ushering her to the door, when she
wes surrounded by several rough-looking men, who seized
hold of her round the waist, and forced Or towards the de-
fendant's omnibus, end they endeavoured to push her in by
violence, but she resisted them, and got into the omnibus of the
complainant. When she was about to enter, and was standing
on the step, the defendant drove his pole against the door,
and she had a narrow escape of being crushed. She added,
that the trea'rnent of the fellows who surrounded her vrea
shocking.
Dr. Wm. Edinborough, of Coleman-street, City, witnessed
the transacion. The defendant drove furiously against the
omnibus, and had the lady been an aged person, she must have
been crushed and seriously hurt. Die pole drove right through
the door of the omnibus, and it was repeated a third or fourth
time.
Mr. BENET r—Did the defendant do it unnecessarily ? Dr.
Edinborough—l conceive so ; there were two or three omni-
buses near the spot at the time, and hin object no doubt
get the lady as a passenger in his vehicle. It was not long
ago that lie (witness) had a gentleman under his care with 3
compound fracture of the leg through a similar occurrence 00

berated this evidence. He added that the pole of the defen-

two or three other omnibuses, and they drove against him, and
he was obliged to save himself.
Mr. BEN ETT (to the defendant)--I must find you guilty,
and convict you in the penalty of 20s. and costs.
The defendant instantly paid the money, and, having pr°-
duced his license,
Mr. Mould, the clerk, suggested that the Magistrate Was
called upon to sign the conviction at the back of the license.
Mr. BENETT—I am willing to do whatever the law re-
quires of me to do. He directed the defendant to speak
the clerk.

The defendant wished to say something to the bench. ,A
Mr. BENETT told him to speak to the Clerk, and be wotu"
afterwards hear any representation from him.
