HATTON-GARDEN.

Monday, James Byrne, a journeyman tailor, was
brought before Messrs. LAING and ROGERS from Ro-
samon-street station-house, charged by his wife with
having committed a violent assault.
The wife deposed that she resides in Noel-street,
Clerkenwell. On Saturday night last the prisoner
returned home in a state of intoxication, and com-
menced abusing and beating her in a violent manner
because she had not been able to procure money or
necessary comforts, and he continued maltreating her
until her screams and cries of " murder" brought a
policeman and some neighbours to her assistance, and
he was taken to the station-house. The miserable
woman exhibited several bruises.
Police-constable 32 G stated that on Saturday
night last at a late hour he was passing through Noel-
street, Clerkenwell, when his attention was arrested
by the cries of " murder," and on entering the house
he found the prisoner ill-using his wife in a brutal
manner, and he took him into custody.
Mr. LAING asked the prisoner, who is a slovenly,
dissipated looking man, what he was? Prisoner—l
am a journeyman tailor, your Worship.
Mr. LAING—Are you in work? lam not, your
Worship ; I can get none to do.
Mr. LAING—What ! do you mean to tell me that a
journeyman tailor cannot now get work if he feels dis-
posed to do it ? I suppose you are connected with
the trades' union, and are not willing to work ?—I am
not an unionist, your Worship.
Mr. LAING—I don't believe it ; how long have you
been out of work ?—I had a job last week.
Mr. LAlNG—Where did you get it from ?—Would
not tell.
Mr. LAING (to the wife)—How long has he been
out of work ? Wife (crying)—Eight or nine weeks,
your Worship ; and during that time I have only re-
ceived 7s. 6d. from him. He joined the union, and
ever since he has been in the habit of beating and
kicking me, at all hours of the day and night, and
coming home intoxicated, all because I remonstrate
with him, and advise him to go to work for the regular
wages.

The policeman here stated that the prisoner was
an unionist, and he was in the frequent habit of ill-
treating his wife. The fact was that a great number
of journeymen tailors, who had wives and large fami-
lies, lived in the neighbourhood of Noel-street, and
the whole of them belonged to the trades' union.
Their wives were opposed to the union, because their
husbands were never at work, and what money they
procured they spent at the alehouse, and they were
continually in the habit of beating their wives, and
keeping the neighbourhood in constant uproar.
Mr. LAING consulted with Mr. ROGERS, and after
admonishing the prisoner, they ordered him to find
bail ; in default of which he was committed to prison.
Another journeyman tailor was charged with having
committed an assault upon James Martin, a vagrant,
under the following infamous circumstances :
It appeared in evidence that on Sunday night last
the prisoner was found drunk in the street by a police-
man of G division, and taken to the station-house,
and while confined in the cell he entered into conver-
sation with the prosecutor, who was apprehended on a
charge of vagrancy. He asked him whether he be-
longed to the trades' union, and on being answered in
the negative, he beat him in a most unmerciful manner
until his cries for help brought the officers to his as-
sistance, when they found him bleeding profusely from
the nose and mouth.
Mr. LAING asked the prisoner whether he was an
unionist ? He said he was not.
Mr. LAING—I don't believe it. You are fined 10s.
He discharged the man who was assaulted on account

of the severe thrashing which he received, and advised
him to leave London immediately.
A third tailor was charged by a policeman with
lying in the open air drunk and incapable of taking
care of himself.
-The constable stated that on Sunday morning, at an
early hour, he found the prisoner lying on the flat of
his back in Coppice-row, with a bunch of matches in
his hand.

Mr. LAING asked him whether he was in work ?
Prisoner—l can't get any work.
Mr. LAING—I don't believe you. I suppose you
are one of those unionists, and will not work ? Pri-
soner—l am not ; but if I try after it they threaten
me, so I sell matches.
Mr. LAING—You say that he was not able to move?
Policeman—l do, your Worship.
Mr. LAING—It is my opinion you are an unionist ;
you shall find bail.
A brazier was next charged with being drunk, and
incapable of taking care of himself. He also said that
he was out of work, and could get none to do ; and a
glazier, who was found drunk, made a similar state-
ment.

Mr. LAING would not believe them, and expressed
his conviction that they were idle and disorderly per-
ms belonging to the trades' unions, and would not
work if they could get it to do, and lie otdercd them
to find bail, in default of which they were Cinlimitted.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Monday a young man, named John Jones, who'
stated that he was a carpenter in the employ of a Mr.
Chancellor, of Bow-lane, Cheapside,was brought before
the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. BROUGHTON, charged
under the following circumstances :
Eliza Hale, a person of prepossessing manners, was
a dressmaker, just entered into business on her owu
account. On Saturday night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, she and a female friend were returning home
through Whitecross-street, when they were both met
by the prisoner, who said he would kiss her. He
followed them some distance, when, feeling alarmed,
she and her friend took to their heels, and ran away.
The prisoner ran after and overtook her opposite St.
Luke's church, where he again declared his intention
of " having a salute," but which she repulsed by
striking him several blows, upon which he seized her
shawl and ran off with it.
This statement was confirmed by her friend, who
said that they were in such a state of alarm that for
some time they could not move from the spot.
Police-constable 43 G saw the prisoner annoying
the prosecutrix, and in consequence watched him,
when shortly afterwards he saw him snatch the shawl
and run away. Witness, however, pursued him, and
succeeded in overtaking him with the shawl in his
possession. The prisoner told him that what he had
done was " merely a lark."
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—What have you
to say for yourself? Prisoner—l have nothing to say,
only that I am guilty of taking liberties with the lady.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Ah, but what do you say to taking
liberties with the shawl thought that by taking
her shawl she would, perhaps, come round. I had
no idea of stealing it.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Why then run away ?—No reply.
Police-constable—l have no doubt but his inten-
tion was to have stolen the shawl.
The prisoner here called several respectable wit-
nesses,ots

Mr. BROUGHTON—No person of " excellent" cha-
racter would have the audacity to stop and !Liss a re-
spectable female in the public street. To the prose-
cutrix—Did he say anything to you when he took
your shawl ? The prosecutrix here became so agitated
and so nervous that she was unable to speak, until a
flood of tears in some degree relieved her. On re-
covering, she said he ran off without saying a word.
Mr. BROUGHTON told the prisoner that he felt very
much disposed to commit him for trial for the felony ;
but as there was a doubt he would, on the arrival of
the second magistrate, consult with him, when they
would either commit him or try him for the assault.
On the arrival of the second magistrate (Mr. Hos-
kins) it was agreed to treat the case as one of assault,
and in consequence the prisoner was amerced in the
penalty of 405., or two months' imprisonment.
