POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
On Saturday, Samuel Evans, better known as. " Young
Dutch Sam," a pugilist, was brought before IVir. Conant,
charged Kith having committed an unprovok-A and violent assault on policeman Mackenzie, C, 182, and Lord TValde-
grave was also charged with attempting to rescue Evans from
the police.
The defendant Evans, when sober, is civil and well-eon-
ducted ; but when drunk is one of tl}e most dangerous ruffians
connected with the prize-fighting gang. Lord Waldegrave
is a very young nobleman, with. a fund of native simplicity in
his countenance, rendered I:.ie more conspicuous by the style
of dress he has adopted—namely, a large coloured shawl
round his neck, and a rough pilot coat. Both parties exhi-
bited unquestioir2ole proofs of the effect of their previous
evening's potations.
Policeman Alackenzie, who had his arm in a sling, made
the following statement :
About a quarter past six o'clock that morning, after he had
come off duty, he went to the Standard public-house, in Pic-
cadilly, for the purpose of getting some refreshment; but
on perceiving some of the Saloon frequenters there, to whom
he was personally obnoxious, in consequence of having
t-ken disorderly persons cf their acquaintance into custody
he was about to go back, when he found himself suddenly
pushed into the house with sufficient violence to cause his
cape to fall off. While engaged in folding up his cape the
defendant Evans said, " Will any gentleman like to see a po-
liceman put upon his back." Complainant had not ex-
changed a single word with any body ; he, however, found
himself suddenly and quite unexpectedly seized by the defen.
dant, who had conic behind him, and then thrown with vio-
lence upon the floor ; the defendant Evans fell upon him at
the same time ; and, as complainant lay almost stunned and
unable to rise, sonic persons called out " Shame !" Com-
plainant was helped up, and assisted out of the house. Ho
went immediately to the station house, and mentioned what
had occurred to Inspector Beresford, who instantly sent a
sufficient force to take the offender into custody. Complainant
went and pointed out Duch Sam to his comrades, and the de-
fendant was taken into custody. Lord Waldegrave, who was
in the pugilist's company, declared the police should not take
his friend, and he attempted to prevent the police from doing
their duty. Complainant, feeling his shoulder pain him very
much, went to the surgeon, and, by that gentleman's advice,
proceeded to the Charing-cross Hospital. When lie was ex-
amined it was ascertained that one of the bones of his shoulder
was broken.
Ancther policeman stated that Lord Waldegrave was very
drunk, and when his Lordship attempted to resist the police
he was accidentally thrown down on the pavement, and witness
picked him up.
Lord Waldegrave—He Ihel he ! Picked me up, did you?
Oh—lle ! he ! he
Mr. Conant—This is no laughing matter, I can tell you ;
and it is quite improper in you to make it a subject of merri-
ment.

Lord. Waldegrave—He I he! he I I beg pardon, but I
can't help laughing.
Mr. Cox ANT asked Evans what he bad to say in defence ?
Evans—Why, you see, Lord Waldegrave and me had been
supping together, hadn't we my Lord ?
Lord Waldegrave—Yes we had.
Evans—And when we went into the public-house there we
saw the policeman, who was drunk, and who had been drink-
ing purl in the house. The policeman asked me to wrestle
with him, and as I thought I could throw him, I accepted the
challenge.
The Inspector proved that there was not one word of truth
in the defence of Evans, so far as regarded the sobriety of
Mackenzie. The assault took place within a few minutes after
Mackenzie had come off duty, and certainly before he could
have had time to get refreshment.
Thu policeman declared that what the defendant had as.
serted was entirely false. He had taken nothing to drink ;
and as for challenging a man like the defendant to wrestle, the
assertion was improbable.
Inspector Beresford, on being asked if he was certain that
Evans was drunk, answered that the defendant was decidedly
drunk.

Evans—Silence, sweep, let a gentleman speak. I can get
a dozen oaths for half-a-crown.
Mr. CONANT said the assault cn the policeman was wanton
and unprovoked, and the matter was further aggravated by
the fact that a person of the defendant's well known pugi-
listic powers had chosen to attack an unoffending party. He
should, therefore, call on the defendant Evans to put in good
bail.

Evans—Serve his Lordship the same, for I like to have
such a pal.
Mr. CONANT directed that Lord Waldegrave should be put
back until a second magistrate arrived.
Mr. DYER having soon afterwards taken his scat on the
bench, Lord Waldegrave was placed before the bar.
Policeman Pittner, C 130. went with others to the Stan-
dard public-house, and took Evans into custody. Lord Wal-
degrave threw his arm round his 'fiend, and swore he should
not be taken. Witness swung his Lordship away, and in
so doing his Lordship fell down. Witness picked up his
Lordship, and would have let him go had his Lordship ab-
stained from repeating his conduct. As his Lordship would
not allow the police to do their duty he took him into custody.
Mr. CONANT asked his Lordship what he had to say? Lord
Waldegrave-1 have nothing to say. Perhaps I had taken
too much that night.
Policeman—His Lordship was very drunk.
Lord Waldegrave—Not very.
Mr. CONANT—There has been no complaint of your con-
duct at the station-house, and I dare say your Lordship feels
hurt at being in the company of a person of the other defen-
dant's description. Taking into consideration the violence of
the outrage committed by Evans ns a warning, we must inflict
a heavy fine. He must, therefore, piy 51. to the Queen.
Mr. DYER—And because, in our summary jurisdiction, we
cannot go beyond that sum, we inflict it as being the highest
penalty within our power.
The sum was paid, and the Noble Defendant discharged.
