POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Da:

by. )

BONY-STREET.
BRUTAL ASSAULT.—Taco women, one named M'Cartlty
and the other Stack, were this morning placed at the

bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with violently assaulting
Mary Callaghan.
The complainant, who appeared in a very weak state
from loss of blood, stated that at about nine o'clock on
Saturday evening she was passing up Orange•court, St.
Giles's, when M'Carthy, who was looking out of a win-
dow, said, "Here's the - coming," and immediately
she received a violent blow from a large earthenware jug
on the forehead, which felled her to the ground. The
younger prisoner, the daughter of M'Carthy, then ran
into the court, and as she (the defendant) was raising
herself from the ground, she seized her by the hair
of her head, and commenced beating it against the wall
of the court. Such was the violence with which
she was attacked that in a few moments she fell to the
ground insensible. Some friends came to her assistance,
and after getting her away from the younger prisoner,
who continued striking and kicking her, proceeded
with her to the station-house, where she charged the

two prisoners with the assault.
Stephen Bryan stated that at about nine o'clock on
Saturday evening he was in Orange•court, and saw the
elder prisoner, Wearthy, throw a large piece of an
earthenware pitcher from the window of the house in
which she resided, which struck the complainant on the
head, and she immediately fell to the ground. 110

then saw Stack run out of the house and seize the
woman, and commence beating her head against the
wall with great violence ; and as he was getting the
complainant away from Stack, he saw her put M'Carthis
finger into her mouth and bite it violently.
Police sergeant 2 F stated when the complainant came
to the station-house, she was bleeding copiously from a
large wound in the forehead.
In answer to the charge the prisoners said the eom'
plainant and her witness were the parties most in fault,
and that Bryan was still under recognisances to keep
the peace.

Constable Tickner informed the magistrate that on
Saturday last M'Carthy, who had obtained a warrant

against Bryan, appeared at this Court, and at the ter•
mination of the hearing it was dismissed. This cireum•
stance gave rise to a regular Irish row in Orange-court,
and in consequence of the violent behaviour of the
two prisoners towards Bryan and M'Cartby, 11'
Henry directed him to prooeed to Orange-court, and to
caution the prisoners against using threatening language•
On seeing the prisoners, and informing them of big
message, the elder one said, "Only let me see any of
them, and they'll either have a hatchet or cleaver, or
something of the scrt."
Mr. Hall said that what he had just heard from the
constable was the key to the whole affair. It was clear
that in consequence of the summons having been dis•
missed from want of evidence, the prisoners had become
very much incensed against the complainant. It wag
clear that the assault bad been premeditated, and be
should therefore fine each of the prisoners 41., or in default
of payment, convict them for 7 weeks' imprisonment.
The prisoners were locked up.
JACK ASHORE.—A seaman, named Kennely, wag
charged with being found drunk, and incapable of talc'
ing care of himself in the neighbourhood of the Strand
on Saturday night.
The police constable said, on searching the sailor at
the station house, he found upon him four 51. notes.
Mr. Hall—Well, what have you to say ? Where did
you come from ?
Jack—l was paid off on Saturday, at Sheerness, foal
H.M. Ship Terrible, and I Has going to Liverpool, but
I sha'nt go there if I can get anything to do in London.
Mr. Hall—You bad better go to Liverpool. If you
stop in London you'll get drunk and loose all your money
—but you must be careful when you get to Liverpool,
for you will find thieves there. I will do all I
can tosave your money for you; a constable shall accony
pany you to the railway station and there deliver your
money to you. Have you any friends in London to
whom I can send I
Jack—Yes, I've a friend a merchant in St. Giles's.

Mr. Hall—That's a wide direction to find a person;
but as you don't seem disposed to accept my offer, I
shall order the money to be returned to you. I W.
done all I can to save it for you. You are di"
charged.
Jack, having thanked the magistrate, turned on bi°
heel and left the court.

MANSION HOUSE.
STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Joseph, Cole, remanaei
for stealing a gold watch, value 71., from the person °L
a young man named Henry Martin, on the Custom-hell°
Quay, was again placed at the bar before Sir W. Car
den for further examination.
The particulars of the case were published at the 03°
in 1711. e. Sun.

Police-constable 581 said he had made inquires at /0.
rious pawn shops, but he had been unable to trace the
watch. He did not expect to find it. The prisoner'
when apprehended, gave a wrong address.
Police-constable 129 stated that he had the priseeie.r
.
in charge in 1853, for robbing a lady of her purse, le'
which offence he was sent to Holloway for three montba'
He then gave a false address.
The prisoner assured the alderman he was innocent of
this charge, as he was of the one in 1853, and that be
was then sent to prison in mistake.
Sir W. Carden said it was rather extraordinary for a°
innocent man to be twice punished. He, however, he'
lieved him guilty of this charge, and againt sent him
to prison for three months.
THE WALPOLE ISLANDERS IN TROUBLE. —Mr. Tele, 6f
Eversholt-street, Camden-town, Mr. Hornibrook,
the London City Mission, and another gentleman, wait°
on the Lord Mayor with six of the Walpole Islander'
who have lately been exhibiting in the metropolis,
his advice and assistance. The grotesque dressing
these men caused much attraction, and the justice-ru°'-
was densely crowded. The chief of the tribe wore the
medal presented to his father by George 111.
Mr. Tele said that the Indians bad been staying ciw
him for a considerable period, baying been ~hrought
him by the speculator who induced them to cons° 17
this country. He was now owed between 91. and
for their lodging and maintenance, but he was wih°
to get it, the speculator not being to be found. sie,
Indians were, in consequence of the conduct Of t:,
person referred to, in great distress, and for some days
had lodged and supported them, for which he should
make no charge. The inhabitants of the neighbour;
hood had been very kind to the Indians. They wig°
to be sent home.
In reply to a question from the Lord Mayor, one IP
the Indians, who spoke English, and acted as Wer:
preter, said it was their desire to return home to Wale'.
Hand, which he believed was a British
pessessioP
There were 6 men and 4 women.
Mr. Hornibrook said he believed they could be tithe°
to New York for about 6/. each.
Mr. Tele said the men and women were still at 131:
house, which was not a common lodging-house, and b
could not afford to continue to support them.
The Lord' Mayor—How much do they cost a day
Mr. Tele—From 18s. to 20e.
The Lord Mayor said the men and women were in
sad state. There was the union for them so long as tb,e."s
remained in the country. He would, however, see wis.
h'
could be done for sending them to their homes, and be
thought the best way to do it was by an appeal tota
public. It was too bad a speculation, when they tbilo
an exhibition did not answer, to leave individuals, ue -
this instance, destitute.
After some further remarks, arrangements were Op
for their temporary relief.
