POLICE lIVTELLIGENCE.-7tsis Day.

THAMES.

POLICE EVIDENCE.—CharIes Grey, aged 20, of 17, John-
street, Mile-end-road, mason, was charged by Thomas
Otley, a police-constablo, 517 li., with being drunk and
disorderly in the Burdett-road, Hamlet of Mile-end Old-
to wn.

Mr. Paget said the charge was not made out, and he be-
lieved the prisoner was innocent, and ought not to have
been arrested. The police-constable was asked by him
over and over again after giving his evidence if he had
anything more to say, and ho said he had not, and at last,
after repeated answers to the contrary, said the prisoner
struck him twice on the arm, which he did not believe.
He should write on the police-sheet containing the charge
his opinion of the police-constable's misconduct for the in-
formation of the Commissioners, for them to dispose of it
as they might think proper.

Inspector Maddigan, of the K division, who was in at-
tendance, said that Otley was a young policeman, and had
not been long in the force.

Mr. Pagot I suppose, I cannot doubt, the prisoner has
been most improperly taken into custody. Lot him be
discharged at once.

ENCOURAGING THE REVENUE RETURNS.-Wm. Ward,
aged 40, a Custom-house officer, of No. 2, Lougfellow-
road, Mile-end-road, was charged with being drunk and
disorderly in tho Burdett-road.

Air. Paget said that a public officer in the service of the
Crown ought to sot a better example than getting drunk.
It was most disgraceful. Ilad the prisoner any explana-
tion to give ?

The Prisoner —None whativer, sir.
Mr. Paget—You are fined 58.
The sum was paid.

MARLBOItOUGH-STREET.

AN ECCENTRIC BEGGAR.—Ann Munt, a sharp-featured
woman, who has long been known to the officers of the
lendicity Society as a beggar, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with begging.
On being placed iu the dock the prisoner, who appeared
to be in a good humour with herself, said (addressing Mr.
Tyrwhitt)-oh, it's you, is it ? I thought it was old Knox.
(Laughter.)

Hewitt, an officer of the Mendicity Society, said he saw
the prisoner in Regent-street yesterday evening accosting
ladies, and when they did not give her anything she
assailed them with foul language.
Prisoner—Oh, you liar. Did you not take a girl to a
place and give her 4d. and a basin of soup, because you
had not got 6d. ? You know what for, my boy. (Laughter.)
Hewitt—She has been several times convicted, five times
being sentenced to a month's imprisonment, and twice to
three months, and both yourself and Mr. Knox have pro-
mised to send her to the sessions.

Prisoner—Oh, indeed; is that all? Have you nothing
else to say?
Barns (the gaoler)—She has been here several tittles.

Prisoner—lndeed.
Barns—Be qu'ot.
Prisoner—l shan't. Who are you speaking to? Behave
yourself properly, old boy.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—you will be remanded.
Prisoner (laughing)—Good bye; take care of yourself,
old gentleman. lam much obliged to you.
Bow LIFE Is ENDANGERED IN TUE STREETS.—Richard
Gregory, barman at the Cricketers Tavern, Putney, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhict with being drunk whilst
driving a horse and cart,land also with having no name
and addrom on the cart.

Police-coast:thin Morgan, 50 0, said that :yesterday
evening ho was in Piccadilly, when ho saw the prisoner,
who was drunk, driving a trap, and the horse knocked
down a man and trampled on him.
The prisoner said he was not drunk.

Joseph Mitman, an olderly man, said that he was
knocked down by the prisoner's horse, which trampled on
him and hurt his back, and he had to go to the hospital.
Inspector Higgins, C Division, said that the prisoner
when brought to the Marlborough Mews Police Station
from Vine-street, about half-past six o'clock yesterday
evening, was drunk.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had driven to the dan-
ger of passengers, and for that he would have to pay 40s.
or a month, and he hoped the police would take proceed-
ings against him for not having a name and address on
tho cart, and he would advise him to compensate the in-
jured man.
