POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-3/ay 30.

GUILDILILL.—James Quid:, an intelligent lad, in
the service of Messrs. Braun and Kortoski, capmakers,
of London-wall, was placed at the bar before Alderman
Copeland, charged with robbing his employers.
Alderman Copeland committed the prisoner for trial.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.—Several gentlemen
in the course of the morning, who came to this court to
make the usual half-yearly declarations, volunteered
their testimony to the sitting magistrate (Mr. Bingham)
in favour of the orderly conduct in general of the im-
mense masses of people who on the preceding night
thronged the thoroughfares and parks. The magistrate
and the chief clerk also declared that they never in all
their lengthened personal experience of the conduct of
large assemblages of the population witnessed more
peaceable and praiseworthy behaviour. The onlyappear-
ance of disorderly conduct took place in Hyde-Park
about 7 o'clock, when a party of roughs began pelting
decent women with clods of turf. Several respectable
women having been thus assaulted, and their bonnets
and clothes damaged, a number of gentlemen began to
remonstrate, and on finding their appeals disregarded
formed themselves into a body sufficiently strong'to
overawe the disorderließ, and to reduce them to peaceable
behaviour. This had the desired effect, and the roughs,
who were recognise I by one of the officers of the court
as principally from St. Giles's, Seven Dials, Drury-lane,
and other Irish localities, dispersed without further mis-
chief. There were on three or four trifling cases
arising out of the peace demonstration yesterday brought
to this court.

Mr. R. Finney, a medical man living in Pall-mall,
was charged with riding furiously down Regent-street
at 8 o'clock the previous evening, when the street was
crowded with people.
Police-constable Philly said. he saw the horse gallop.
ing through the crowd, and the defendant cutting and
lashing the animal with his whip.

Mr, Finney, in defence, said, tho crowd of people ac-
celerated the speed of the horse.
Mr. Bingham said the pace at which the defendant
was proved to have ridden along a crowded street might
have been productive of serious accidents, and ho should
therefore inflict a fine of 40s. for the offence.

Fredericka Waller was charged with assaulting Louisa
Spearman.

'The complainant said her dress was rather long, and,
on some person treading on it in the crowd, she caught
hold of a woman's dress to save herself from falling.
The defendant, who was the woman, immediately struck
her a violent blow on the face, and blackened her eye.
Fined 41., .or one month.
Robert Matthews was fined flOs, for striking John Ar-
nold with his whip in Regent-street.
Edward Looney was remanded on a charge of having
knocked down with his van constable Butter, who at-
tempted to check the reckless speed of the horse, and
in so doing had his thigh broken.

WESTMINISTER. —Joseph Macdonald, a tall,
powerful fellow, was charged with aiding the escape of a
felon.

Jane Attery, wife of a labouring man, said that after
viewing the fireworks and the illuminations she and her
husband went to the Castle public-house, Great Chapel-
street, Westminister, to get some refreshment. Upon
leaving there her husband, who went a few paces in ad
vance while she was bidding a friend good night, called
her by name quickly, and on her hastening to the spot
she found him struggling with a man, who bad turned
his trouser's pocket inside out and robbed him of 4s.
She assisted her husband to secure the offender, when
the prisoner came up and dragged him from them. She
laid bold of him again, but the prisoner seized her and
threw her down twice, and the robber escaped. She
called the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody.
The accused, in reply to the charge, said he was drunk
and did not know what had occurred.

Mr. Ingham naked whether there was any evidence to
show that the prisoner and the man who had escaped
were connected with each other ?

Mra. Attery and a woman who was also present stated
that they saw the men drinking together at the Castle on
the previous night ; the former added that although the
amount of money of which her husband had been robbed
was trifling, it was a serious loss to poor, hard-working
people.
The prisoner was remanded.

WORSHIP-STREET.—James Wing, a cab-driver,
badge, 11,329, was charged with cruelty to a horse.
Caffrey, a constable of the N division, stated that
while on duty in the City-road at 5 o'clock that morning,
he saw the defendant in a state of disgraceful drunken-
ness, driving a horse in a cab. The horse was in a ter-
rible condition ; it had been manifestly, overdriven, it
trembled excessively, and the sweat poured off its body
like water. The fare refused to go any further and got
out, and the poor animal fell to the ground in convul-
sions, and kicked and injured itself very badly. To
make the matter worse, it had cast one of its shoes.
The defendant, on the witness interfering, dismounted
from the box and tried to get away, but be directly
after caught sight of him on the box of another cab and
took him into custody. •_ _

Phillips, another constable, confirmed this evidence,
and Mr. Barton, the owner oft the cab, stated that the
horso was in- capital condition when it left his stables,
and the defendant ought to have returned home with it
at 8 o'clock on the preceding night.
The prisoner said he set down a fare at Euston-square,
where a gentleman hired him directly, but that the horse
became unmanageable, and he could neither steady nor
control it. He denied being intoxicated altogether.
The horso fell, he supposed, from its having the thy
gripes.
Mr. Barton denied that this could be the case ; it

was perfectly healthy, and had never had such a com-
plaint. •
Mr. Hammill went to the door of the court to view
the horse, and on his return said it was a very good
but; had been most shamefully overdriven. Two
of its legs and one of its thighs w9re badly out, an:l he
should flue the defendant in a penalty of 31., or 21 days
in the House of Correction.

It was anticipated that in consequence of part of the
pyrotechnic display of the preceding evening taking
place in Victoria Park, which is in this district, there
would bs an unusual number of charges of robbery, vio-
lence, drunkenness, or other misbehaviour ; but it is
most gratifying to state—a re-nark Mr. Hammill made
with much satisfaction, as testifying to the general
souse of propriety of the lower classes—that though the
park was throngsd with thousand 4 of " roughs" and the
poorest of both sexes from Spitalfields, Whitechapel,
Mile•end, lloxton, Hackney, and Bethnal-green, there
was an unusually small number of charges at the court
altogether, and not even one from the park or it
vicinity.

C LE RREN WELL.—Charles Cook, aged 19, a rough.
looking fellow, was placed at the bar on remand, charged
with stealing a watch, the property of Simon Smith.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that
on Saturday night last, at about nine o'clock, he saw a
crowd at King's-cross, and upon going to see what it
had collected for he. felt a hand in his waistcoat pocket.
Finding that his purse, which contained 9s. 6d., bad
gone, he caught bold of the prisoner and gave him into
custody.' The prisoner bad been seen near King's-cross
nearly the whole of the evening ; and a lad named
Davis, employed on the Great. Northern Railway, who
had been watching him, saw hini take the prosecutor's
