POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
William Kent, 50 years of ago, having the appearance
of a mechanic, was charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly and assaulting the police.
The O'Gorman Mahon, accompanied by a friend, at-
tended, for some reason which did not transpire, to hear
the case, and took notes of the proceedings. The two
gentleman were accommodated with seats near the
magistrate.
Robert Allen, 151 B, stated that at about a quarter
past nine on the previous night there was a charge taken
into the Cottage-road station which caused a large
crowd of persons to assemble outside, and owing to the
number congregated it required eight or ten constables
to keep the people from the door. Witness requested
the defendant, who was drunk and disorderly, to go
away, which he refused to do, declaring that he would
not move for him, or anybody like him. Witness then
took hold of him, when he struck him on the shoulder,
and, repeating the blow, knocked his hat off. Both blows
were struck with his clenched fist. He then took defen-
dant into the station, where he repeated the foul lan-
guage before used.
In reply to an inquiry from the magistrate witness
said the blows had not hurt him seriously. Defendant,
among other epithets, called the police " thieves in
livery."
Jonathan Harriott, 245 A, said, that hearing a loud
knocking at the station-house door he opened it, and
finding defendant there asked him what he wanted, when
he replied that he wanted to speak to three French wo-
men who were inside. Witness told him that he could
not. There were about 150 persons assembled at that
time, making a great noise, and the defendant was
drunk and refused to go away. Witness shut the door,
when the defendant knocked very violently again, and
witness pushed him off the pavement into the road. He
then refused to go and struck at witness, who put up his
arm and warded off the blow, which was directed at his
face. Constable Allen then came up, when the defend-
ant struck him three or four blows about the face and
head successively as quick as he could. Defendant said
he should like to have a knife and rip up the police.
Inspector Thompson, who took the charge, proved
that the defendant was drunk and very abusive.
Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he had
been very much ill-used. He went to the station and
asked to see the three French women who had been taken
in, thinking they might wish to communicate with their
friends, and he had no sooner spoken than he was
knocked down by one of the constables Ho would not
quite deny the whole of the charges against him, but
begged to call the magistrate's attention to the circum-
stance that one constable said that he only struck him
two blows, while the other declared it was four. He was
shoved off the pavement and knocked down without the
least provocation.
Mr. BURRELL—Were you drunk? Defendant—l
wont deny being a little intoxicated, but not so much as
they make out.
T. Peacock, a master chimney sweep, was called for
the defendant—All the persons standing outside the
station were perfectly quiet. There were a hundred
persons there, but they were not crowding. He saw
several constables come out, who almost instantaneously
seized a man whom ho afterwards found to be the de-
fendant, and in the struggle one of the policemen's hats ,
fell off, bat from what cause he could not say.
In reoly to the Magistrate, witness said he did not see
the beginning of the struggle, and could not say whether
defendant had not been requested to go away.
Mary M`Lean, a servant out of place, said she saw de-
fendant go the station-hoose door and ask a policeman a
question, but before he had time to finish what he was
saying the policeman struck him is the stomach, and he
rolled into somebody's arms behind him. Defendant
was then surrounded, and in the struggle a policeman's
hat was knocked off. Harriott was the constable who
struck him. Defendant's wife's bonnet and dress were
also torn. She could not say how the bat was knocked
off.

Harriet Bennett, another girl, was examined, but said
that the constable only pushed defendant off the pave-
ment, and that she did not see a blow struck.
A boy was also called, whose evidence went to show
that the constable only pushed the defendant.
Mr. BURRELL observed that the case for the prosecu-
tion had received no satisfactory answer. The evidence
of the constables was clear and distinct, while that on
the other side was very doubtful—one witness declaring
that a blow was given by the constables, which the others
represented as a push. If the defendant's account were
to be credited, the constables must have committed most
deliberate perjury; but he believed their testimony, and
was of opinion that the charge arose out of the circum-
stance of defendant's being tipsy and resisting the con-
stables, which persons in that state were apt to do.
Defendant was fined 505.. or 21 days in default.
WORSHIP-STREET.

A young man named William Burdon was placed at
the bar, before Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen
a bay mare and a pony, the property of Mr. John
Wood, an extensive dairyman, and proprietor of Dodd's
farm, in the Cambridge-road, Mile-end.
The prosecutor stated that about 11 o'clock on the
preceding evening he left the mare and pony safe in one
of his stables, the door of which he carefully secured,
and shortly afterwards retired to rest, from which he
was disturbed at an early hour that morning by a po-
liceman, who had taken the prisoner into custody for
stealing the mare, which had been found in his posses-
sion. On entering the stable, he found the pony run-
ning loose about the place, and discovered that the lock
of the door had been wrenched off, and a massive chain
which secured it broken to pieces, apparently by weans
of a heavy bricklayer's hammer, which was found lying
near the spot.
Police-constable Brown, K 421, stated that while on
duty in Cleveland-grove, Mile-end, shortly before 3
o'clock that moroing, he observed the prisoner mounted
on a bay mare, followed by a brown pay, which he was
endeavouring to lead along by a halter. The pony,
however, resisted violently, and suddenly stopped short
