POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOTV-STREET.
On Saturday a man named Reeves was placed at the bar,
charged with a-violent assault on Shalell, an officer of this
establishment.
After hearing evidence, Mr. MINsHuLL said that the
defendant had been guilty of a very violent assault, and
fined him in the penalty of .51., or in default of paymen
committed him for two months to the House of Correction.

MARLBOROUGH STREET. t or
William Syningion, a private in the 3d RclPMen
Scotch Fusiliers, was charged with having wounded a :Y.,
and attacked several police constables with a bayonet, atud.
a person named Charles Webb was put to the bar at tu
same time, charged with drunkenness.
Police Sergeant Stone, C 2, about two o'clock that
morning, while on duty, saw a gig with the soldig a
and ,
boy in it standing in Princes-street, and the defends""
Webb, had apparently just got out, and was going all*
When witness came up to them he heard one of thetnsoo
that the boy had better take home the gig, and witness
noticed that the horse appeared as if it had been hardh'e
ven, and that the soldier and Webb were int•:,xicated. .1".
soldier asked witness to have something drink, and, rat-
ing to Webb, said he was a Captai":, in the Guards, and that
he called him his " Black Cnptain." Witness finding thattlie
e
gig was a hired one, and that the boy knew very little ofth
parties in who...e company he was, procured assistance, an
c 1
obliged all three to go to the St. Ann's station-Wee'
When there the sergeant detailed the suspicious cu
bis
stances under which he had met with the defendants. if
led to an inquiry as to why the boy was in their cornPnac
when the soldier, who had been sitting with his ble
towards the fire, suddenly pulled his belt round, and drew
...
his bayonet, and made a desperate lunge at a police stye
stable named Sullivan. Sullivan saw the action of t"he
soldier, and at the same time observing that the point °f td.
bayonet was directed full towards the boy, who was stlT,
in near him, started back, pulled the boy on one olue;
a•
and thus, in all probability, saved his life. The blow vra
given with such force that as the bayonet passed the hot
the sharp edge inflicted a gash on his forehead. The soldier
now stabbed indiscriminately at the persons in the
rootn1;,
but owing to tbe uncertain light none of the thrusts t°°
effect. A policeman, named Biggs, had a miracul°ll,t
escape. Hearing the scuffle he rose from his chair just!
the moment when the infuriated ruffian had aimed a deal,
thrust at him. By a quick movement the blow passed 01bee
his head, and he was enabled to get nut of the room. Idif,
greatest consternation nocv. prevailed, and with some
ficulty those in the room escaped the threatened 'rise;
and contrived to close the door on the soldier. The 6°f
dier being now in an infuriated state, made desperate
life
forts to get at the police, swearing that he had but one le
and that should go, but not before he had killed the vibe
pack. He then stabbed at the door, and drove his beE,
net above an inch into the wood in upwards of twentY„
ferent places. After a short time, his exertions 11871::
ceased, he was told to sheath his bayonet, and he would :
allowed to walk out. The soldier called out that it vi"-
sheathed, and the police might come in.
Policeman C 127 looked through a window which conn
mended a view of the interior of the room, and on seeil,
the soldier standing with his drawn bayonet in an attitude
as if about to plunge it into the body of the first P!rsai :a
who entered, called out to those at the door, and acqual°'eAt
them with their danger. The soldier made a spring
the window, and stabbed at a policeman C 127, who 9'
escaped the bayonet by activity. At length, while mak :1%;
a stab at the door, the soldier dropped his bayonet, and ""
noise of its fall having been heard by the persons outside'
the door was opened, and a rush made towards the soldier'
who was instantly knocxed down. A desperate scuffle ea
sued, which of course ended by the r uffian being subdue:a.' -
and strongly handcuffed. He was then given into
charge of the military, and marched off.
Mr. DYER asked the sergeant what sort of a character
the defendant bore in the regiment.
The sergeant replied, one of the worst. Re had bees
imprisoned in Newgate and Reading gaol, and ',twig°
frequently for gross assaults.
19
Mr. DYER said that several offences had been OP -
proved against the soldier. For the assault he should flu
him 51., or in default two months' imprisonment ; and for
the damage, the whole expense, or two months' additio."..
imprisonment. Mr. Dyer then fined Webb ss. for
drunk.
