BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

THE CHARTIST MEETING.—Two or three cases of
disorder during the time that the streets remained
crowded after the dissolution of the Chartist meeting
yesterday, and a few of drunken persons attempting to
incite the people to riot, came before the magistrate this
morning, but they were of too trivial a nature to call for
a report. In fact, the efforts of the police and special
constables to keep order were so successful that there
were fewer cases of disturbance or disorderly conduct
than on any day for some time past.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY)
Mr. Wet. Wallace, a special constable, was charged
before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Mr. Joseph
Hemming, jeweller, 157, Regent-street.
Complainant stated that he was a spacial constable of
the St. James's division, and was on duty last evening
about five o'clock in the Quadrant, when he and some
others were called to quell a mob in Golden-square. In
endeavouring to disperse the mob the defendant and
some other persons obstructed them in their duty. Wit-
ness remonstrated with defendant on the impropriety of
his conduct, when he said, " I am a special constable as
well as you, and you had better go.home, as you are
doing more harm than good to the people." Soon after
the police came up, when witness informed the inspector
that the defendant had been exciting the mob. The in-
spector then advised witness to take him into custody.
He accordingly did so, but the defendant resisted and
struck him a violent blow on the cheat with his staff.
Witness eventually succeeded in taking him to the
station.
Edney, 103 D, proved seeing defendant strike the
blow.
Defendant denied the charge, and said the complainant
and others were standing in the middle of the road
talking about fighting and horse-racing, and on his
representing to them that they were setting a bad
example to the mob, the complainant took umbrage, and
endeavoured to annoy defendant all he could. He had
been locked up for four hours in the station, after
getting wet through while doing his duty in olden-
square.
Mr. BINGHAM said that in a body of 250,000, who had
been sworn in as special constables, it might be possible
that some mistake would occur, but as the complainant
was not hurt, and defendant had been locked up for four
hours, he thought the latter sufficient punishment, and
should discharge him.

Dennis Shoßin was fined ss. for resisting Mr. John
Preston, a special constable, in the execution of his duty
in Oxford-street.
