POLICE INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAT.

THE POLICE AT FAULT.—Benjamin Hill and John
Purber, two young men, were charged at Westminster
Police-court with loitering for an unlawful purpose.
Ludbrook, a detective of the B division, said at half-past
one this morning he was on duty in Westbourne-street,
and watched the two prisoners into Newland-street. They
remained there a little time and then went to Coleshill-
street. Witness stopped them and asked what they
Were doing there, and Hill said they had been to
Cremorne to look after their living, and were
going home. As he was not satisfied with their
account of themselves he took them into custody. Mr.
Arnold asked if anything was known of them ? The con-
stable replied in the negative. Mr. Arnold asked whether
they had given any address? Ludbrook said they had, but
he had not been there. Mr. Arnold said their conduct
was to some extent suspicious, but the police had had
ample opportunity to inquire whether their addresses were
Correct, and as they had not done that he should discharge
the Prisoners.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULTS ON FEMALES.—Edward Thor-
burn was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Westmin-
ster Police-court, with being drunk and behaving in a
disorderly manner, and also with assaulting two young
'women named Kate Burton and Catherine Wright. Kate
Burton said that she was talking to some friends in Leices-
ter-square last night, when the prisonercame up and rudely
asked her where she was going. She told him to mind his
"ill business, upon which he struck her twice on the head,
making use of very bad language at the time. The
evidence of the complainant was fully corroborated by
a Young woman named Elizabeth Mason. The prisoner's
defence was that he thought he knew the young women.
Ile was committed for two months with hard labour.

A- FORGIVING WIFE AND A BRUTAL HUSBAND.—
william Cutting, a middle-aged man, was brought before
Mr- Lushington at the Thames Police-court charged with
,v°llnding his wife Elizabeth with intent to do her grievous
oodily harm. The wife said she had been married 23 years
the prisoner, who was a most violent man while in
liquor, but a good husband when sober. She did
('t wish to prosecute him. He would not have done
't if he had been sober. They had a few
Nv°r'zis about a lodger leaving owing to her husband's
temper, and he took up an earthenware teapot and hurled
it at her with great violence. It struck her on the back.
She hoped the magistrate would let him off. Way, a
1. )?lice-constable, No. 22 K, said the prisoner often turned
18 wife out of doors and compelled her to wander about
the streets all night. He asked her how the wound was
luilieted, and she said with a teapot. The magistrate had
souse doubts about the wound being inflicted with a
teapot. He ordered the prisoner to find two sureties to
keep,.. the peace for two months, and in default committed
'aro to prison.

Clintond is stated that Mr. Peile, as well as Lord Arthur
a.„i both of whom were implicated in the Bonlton
--`" Park scandal, has died since the prosecution.
