was brought before Mr. Lushingtou, at the Thames Police-
office, charged with savagely assaulting Ellen Hurley. The
parties live in an Irish colony, called Waterloo-place,
Samuel-street, St. George-in-the-East, and last night they
quarrelled. Mrs. Lamb brought out a red-hot poker, with
which she attacked her neighbour, and severely butt her
arms and neck. Mrs. Hurley seized hold of the poker, but
she caught hold of the wrong end, and burnt her hand
badly. A boy then kicked the poker out of Mrs. Lamb's
hand, and she was secured. Several witnesses deposed to
the violence of Mrs. Lamb, her coarse language, and brutal
threats. She called out on emerging from the house,
"Where is that cat ? I'll frizzle her with the poker." Mr.
Lushington sentenced her to six months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

looking fellow, was brought before Mr Tyrwhitt at the
Marlborough-street Police-court, on a warrant, charged with
assaulting the police. On Sunday night Police-constable

was stooping over the man the prisoner came up and kicked
him in the side. He told the prisoner to go away, and the
prisoner then went and struck and kicked another constable
(Foster, 98 C), and succeeded in getting away, but was taken
into custody last night. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the
police stated that the prisoner was tho ringleader of a gang
of roughs residing in Peter-street, St. James's, and was the
terror of the neighbourhood. He was sent t o prison for five
weeks for the two assaults.
