GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

A youth named Burton was brought up in custody
of Police-constable No. 301, charged with violently
assaulting him and another constable.

Mr. Burton, a highly respectable shopkeeper, re-
siding in Fleet-street, informed the presiding Alderman
that the prisoner was his son. He was treated with
the greatest kindness, and every means taken to bring
him forward in the world, but in vain. He had been
frequently committed to prison. Twice he enlisted,
but was dismissed for bad conduct, and once he was
sent to sea, but ran away in the course of a
month. About a fortnight ago the witness
bought him a suit of clothes for 71., since
which time he staid away from home until last night,
when he came and paraded before witnes3's shop-door,
almost in a state of nudity. He then rushed up stairs,
and behaved in such a desperate mancer that the police
were called in.

The constable said that he received some severe
blows from the prisoner, and it required four mai to
take him to the station-house.
Mr. Alderman HARMER considered that the most
advisable thing to do, would be to require the prisoner
to find bail, as his family would be thus protected from
his violence.
The prisoner, who bad not the slightest chance of
procuring bail, was then remove 1 in custody.
