MATT ON- GARDEN.

Yesterday a respectable-looking young man, of
the name of Jonathan Lancaster, accompanied by a
child three years old, was brought befOre Mr. LAING
and Mr. ROGERS, charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly, and assanhing police-sonstable Thomas
Nicholls, hfo. 35, division G. •
The constable abOUi seven o'clock on Sunday
night found the defendant in Goswell-street-Load,
intoxicated, and surrounded by an immense con-
course of persons, who were dreadfully alarmed for
the safety of the child that now accompanied him,
which he was hOiding, with outstretched arms, sus-
pended by the heels, with its head downwards; and
he violently threatened any person who would dare
to approach him. Complainant made several at-
tempts to take the child from him, which appeared
to be nearly dead, and to get him home to Parr's-
place, Goswell-street-road, where he resides ; but,
in endeavouring to do so, he was struck repeatedly
by him, and knocked into the road. He, however,
succeeded at length in securing the child, upon
which the defendant became outrageous, and struck
at every body around him, and, drawing out a knife,
threatened destruction to the constable and all
others who had interfered, unless the child were
restored to him, and he left to himself. He actu-
ally stabbed one gentleman slightly in the arm.
Complainant was then obliged to strike him with
his stair on the knuckles, in order to make him drop
the knife, and also, with the assistance of others, to
throw him on his back for the purpose of securing
him. The child, which appeared to be likewise in-
toxicated, became excessively ill afterwards, and I
vomited.

This statement was corroborated by witnesses ;
but the gentleman who had been stabbed in the arm
did not come forward.

The following circumstances were then, detailed
by the defendant :—He had dined on Sunday eve-
ning with a friend at Islington; and after dinner,
having taken a walk with the child, which was his
own, lie was crossing the road at Islington, and
took the child under his arm in a careless manner,
when some old woman, fancying that he was run-
ning away with the child, raised a cry after him,
upon which he was followed by at least a hundred
persons, who hooted and abused him, and wanted
to take the child away front him, so that he was
under the necessity, at length, of getting into an

omnibus, in which he rode as far as Pentonville-

hill, and then came out ; but the crowd still pursued
him, and at last the child was torn away from him,
which actually roused him to madness, " for who,"
he asked, " would not make the most desperate
efforts in defence of himself and his child ?" He
denied that either of them were in the smallest de-

gree tipsy.
The constable repeated that the child was, in-
deed, tipsy, and appeared quite senseless.
Mr. Dunbar, acting-inspector of G. Divisor, being
asked by Mr. LAING what was the condition of the
defendant when brought to the watch-house, re-
plied that he was very drunk.
The defendant was then fined 31., which he im-
mediately paid, and left the office.

MAR YLEB ONE.
Yesterday Misther Tint Hogan, a withered frag-
ment of the " Gem," was charged before Mr.
RAwuNsoN with begging a►t the Roman Catholic
chapel in Manchester-square, on Sunday last.
Serjeant Ealing, Division D., stated that he took
the prisoner into custody on Sunday last, for beg-
ging at the Spanish Chapel, in Manchester-square.
It is--

" Pm as deaf as a Mk," exclaimed Tim Hogan,
applying his dexter hand to his right ear, and endea-
vouring to catch the seijeant's charue, " I dos'nt
know one word he's sayin' agin me."
Mr. RAwussns wished persons of the Roman
Catholic persuasion would exercise a little discri-

mination in dispensing their charity. After Mass
they came out and gave indiscriminately to every
pauper who surrounded the chapel door.
The seljeant had been often called upon to di—
perse the crowd of paupers who surrounded the
door, but it was perfectly useless, for tkey congre-
gated in small parties about the square.
Mr. RAWLINSON was abort to make an example
of Tim Hogan, when Tim pat in a " crakter" from
the Knight of Kerry, recommending Misther Tim
Hogan as a " fit and
volence of all persons having any loose cash about
them to dispose of. proper" object for the bene-
The document was dated " 7th June last," and
Mr. RAWLINSON expressed considerable surprise that

the Knight, who took his title from Dait's own
county, should have given such a document.
" God Almighty bless his Honour I" exclaimed
Nlisther Tim Hogan, " he was always a friend to
the Pour."

" I shall discharge you this time," said Mr. ItAw-
LIMON ; " but if you are ever brought here again
on a similar charge, you shall not get off so easily."
Tim only heard- the Magistrate's first threat of
committing him ; so when the gaoler was about to
remove him from the bar, poor Tim dropped upon
his knees, and, with hands clenched, vociferated,
" In honour of the gate of Heaven, and your mo-
ther's sowl, don't be after coulmittin' me to prisin
—the threadmill will be the death o' me, for I've
got a bad shin !"
When it was explained to Tim that he was dis-
charged, the " bad shin" was forgotten, and he
danced out of the office with an agility that won d
have done honour to any of the " boys."
