POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAT

BOW-STREET.
DESPERATE ASSAULTS.—William Kelly 'was placed at
the bar charged with assaulting his wife and three police.
constables.

Freeman, 133 F, said—On Saturday evening he was on
duty in Marquis-court, when he was called to quell a dis-
turbance in one of the houses. He heard loud cries from
a female calling for help, and finally he heard some
ono say, " You're murdering me." He then went into
the house and there found the prisoner illusing his
wife, whose faco was covered with blood. He attempted
to take him into custody, when he left off beating
his wife and commenced a violent assault upon him.
After struggling for some time they had proceeded
towards the passage, when the prisoner took up a large
glass bottle which happened to be lying there, and began
striking him with it so violently that he was rendered
nearly powerless. Another constable, Norman, 175 F,
hearing the noise inside the house, and on being told a
policeman was being murdered, entered the place,
when Kelly struck him a violent blow with the bottle
and nearly stunned him. At this time constable 163 F
passed the house and went directly to the assistance of the
other officers, and after a great deal of trouble the prisoner
was got into the court, and a message having been sent to
the station that assistance was required, owing to the ex-
hausted state of the other two policemen, Kelly was, with
the aid of about eight policemen, finally locked up.
The other constables gave confirmatory evidence.
Mr. Henry asked the wife if the prisoner was in the
habit of ill-using her ?
Mrs. Kelly said he was not.
Mr. Henry—Are you sure of that ?
Mrs. Kelly—Well, he has given me a slap or two before,
but never so severely as on Saturday. I don't want to press
a complaint against him. lam entirely dependent on him
for support.
Mr. Henry—l am afraid the prisoner is a very violent
person.

Prisoner—Yes, I am, sir. When I drink I'm mad.
Mr. Henry—Knowing that, why do you get drunk ?
Prisoner—Well, I don't know; I can't help it some
time. The police would not have got hurt if they had not
interfered. I was being " jawed" by the women, and I
suppose I couldn't control my temper.
Mr. Henry—Your wife seems to be too much afraid of
you to press the charge; but, for the assault you have
committed on the constable, I shall send you to prison for
three months, with hard labour.
The prisoner left the bar, growling that the sentence was
too much for hitting a "peeler,"

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A NICE WlFE.—Eraily Doyle, a dissipated-looking
woman, was charged. 'before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows :
Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for
the complainant, and in opening the ease said the com-
plainant had been separated from the prisoner, who was his
wife, for a period of about six years. She had been at this
court six times, and on the last occasion was held to bail,
owing to assaults, &c., on her husband, and no sooner was
0,0 nut of prison n out to LIS house, broke all big
property, and threatened to do for him. She had also com-
mitted adultery, and therefore her husband had no right
to support her...

Mr. Alfred Doyle, tailor, of 47, Carraby-street, proved
that on Saturday the prisoner, whom he had often to com-
plain of at that court, came to his shop with her mother
both very drunk, smashed a large looking-glass, seized
him violently, and notwithstanding he was lame, threat-
ened to do for him even if she suffered for it.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said the
reason why he refused to support her was because she had
committed adultery—he having found her in bed with a
man in a brothel.

The complainant's evidence having been corroborated,
The prisoner said her husband kept a shop, and he had
a right to keep her.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had not; nothing of the kind.
She was an adultress, and had no claim whatever on him.
He should order her to pay the damage, 305.2 or go to
prison for two months.
