SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS.
(Before THOMAS PUCKLE, Esq., and a Bench of Ma-
gistrates.)
In the early part of the week James M'Coy, James
Crawley, Richard Hennesey, and Timothy M'Carthy, four
powerful-looking fellows, were indicted for assaulting
Thomas Streams, police-constable 148 L, while in the
execution of his duty.
The full particulars relative to this case have already
appeared in The Sun under the Lambeth Police, but to
remind our readers of the cowardly attack on the police-
man, we give the following brief facts :
Between the hours of eleven and twelve of Saturday,
the 18th ultimo, the complainant was passing the (folly
Gardeners public-house, in Broad-street, Lambeth, when
he saw M'Coy open the public-house door, and making
use of disgusting language, put his fist through a square
of glass, and ra❑ away. He followed him, and attempted
to take him into custody, but as soon as he caine up
Al'Coy struck him a severe blow on the mouth. The
other prisoners then came up, when one of them knocked
his hat off, and kicked it into the street. lie then had a
struggle with M'Coy, when they both fell down, and the
others kicked him. While on the ground M'Coy bit
him severely on the fleshy part of his arm, and prevented
him from getting hold of his rattle.
Mr. John Butterfield, landlord of the Jolly Gardeners
said that the prisoners came into his house on the night
in question, and commenced abusing his customers, and
using disgusting language. He told them that he could
not allow them to insult his customers, and requested
them to leave his house. They then wanted some beer,
which he refused, to serve them with, and on that ac-
count M`Coy smashed the window. lie saw the assault
on the policeman, and endeavoured all in his power to
prevent them from committing further injuries on him.
Stratton, police-constable:llB L, said that he witnessed
the assault, and while he was assisting his brother officer
they attacked him in a fierce manner. Providentionally,
assistance came up, or he had no doubt they would have
murdered Streams.

Several witnesses proved the cowardly and ruffianly
manner in which the prisoners conducted themselves.
The prisoners, in their defence, rather aggravated
their case, and
The jury instantly found them all Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, said that great
credit was due to Mr. Butterfield for the manner in
which he had acted. The prisoners had acted in a cruel
mapner, and as M'Coy and Hennesey seemed the worst,
the Court sentenced them to twelve months' hard labour
each, and the ethers nine months', in Brixton House of
Correction.
Owing to the Quarter Sessions being held at Reigate
last week, and the Surrey Assizes, very few prisoners
were for trial, and those were for such minor offences,
that they could not have interested the public in the
slightest degree.

Mr. Rees, of the Blaeirrrince, in the Walworth-road,
appealed against the 'decision of the Licensing Magis-
trates, who refused t') renew his license, and after some
consideration, the Court granted a license, on condition
that he sold the house before next transfer day.
