MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ASSAULTS AT A FlRE.—Joseph Drake, a lath• render, of
Warren-street, Tottenham-court-road, was charged with
assaulting Edward Shannon, a young man, with a screw
driver, and also assaulting Police-constable Green.
The complainant Shannon was not in attendance.

It appears that on Saturday night there was a fire in
Whitfield-street, Tottenham-court-road, and while the
constable was endeavouring to keep the crowd back the
prisoner struck him in the face. The prisoner was after-
wards pushe d down by the crowd into the water, and on
getting up he charged Shannon with picking his pocket,
and struck him with a screwdriver, and he was then taken
into custody for the two assaults.

The prisoner denied resisting the police, and said tha,
some one picked kis pocket.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s.

THAMES.

A HAPPY FAMILY.—Thomas Welsh, shoeblaelr, aged 21
was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with violently
assaulting his married sister and breaking her nose.
Ihe complainant said that her husband was a hawker.
On Saturday night her brother asked her for the loan of
sixpence, and she told him all the cash she bad was stock
money for her husband, and he immediately struck her a
heavy blow on the nose and broke it.

James Welsh, a younger brother, corroborated the com-
plainant; and after a good deal of recrimination and abuse
among various members of the family, Mr. Benson sen-
enced the prisoner to three months' hard labour.
