BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY).

John Thomas Bullins, whose real name was said to be
Montague, a student of Cambridge, was brought up with
a nymph of the pave, charged with assaulting several po-
lice constables in the execution of their duty last night, in
Exeter-street, Strand.
The facts of the case being fully proved, and the assault
being admitted by the male prisoner,
Mr. JARDINE said that such offences were of late too
frequently committed by young men, who considered they
could escape by the payment of a fine ; but in the present
case he would avail himself of the power he was invested
with by the Metropolitan Police Bill, and ordeied the pri-
soner to be committed for one calendar month ; and as his
companion had acted under his instructions, she should
also be committed for a fortnight.
Mr LAING, the ex-Magistrate of Flitton-garden, ap.
peared to prefer a charge against James Constable, a
clerk is the employ of Messrs. Le Blanque and Rook, so-
licitors, of Bi.dges.street, for using offensive language to
him in the public streets.
The complainant, it appeared, was proceeding home to
his chambers in the Temple last night, about half.pl.4
eleven o'clock th:ough Carey-street, Chancery-lane, and
on passing the defendant and another man, both of whom
were drunk, the defendant turned round and said the r • g-s,s
that damned old fellow Laing, several times. On asking
him why he used such offensive expressions, the def, nianbt
moved his arms, and complainant thinking that he was
about to assault him, he'd up his umbrella to protect him-
self, when the defendant happened to fall against it.
The constable, who came up at the moment, swore that
he saw the complainant strike the defendant a blow with
his right hand in the face, after which he gave him into

custody, but on coming. to the station the complainant
asked what charge was against him, and if there was
trine he had a charge to prefer against the defendant.
The complainant repeatedly denied that he ever as-
saulted the defendant, or gave him into the custody of Cie
constable, and after a great deal of contradictory evidence
the defendant was ordered to be discharged.
