HER MAJESTY.

I'OLICE .INTELLIGEIVCE.—Mis Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Howes, 95 C, said he was acting as gaoler, and when
the prisoner was put in the cell he jumped up and gal'e
him such a violent blow in the eye that he was compelleg
to be on the sick list.

Sergeant Edwards said that Dr. Tothill had told the
witness to be very careful or he would lose the sight 0
his eye.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could only look on the prisoner
as a wild beast in human Shape. As for persons taking
part against the police, he know there were some persoo9
who felt it a matter of course to do so. The prisoner vrB°
just one of those persons on whom the law ought to be
visited, and he was an object, having committed ts/9
brutal assaults, for sharp punishment. He would be C°l3l'
mitted for two months with hard labour for each of ill°
assaults on Cane and Howes.

THAMES.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Robert Sing, a labourer, vrag
charged with attempting to com:nit suicide by stabbing
himself in the breast with a knife.
The prisoner was found on his bed by constable George
Crouch, 2 KB, with a wound on the breast, which Wan
bleeding profusely. He was labouring under deliria.:
tremens and delusions, and said people were about to 11
him up and throw him away. He had been drink'
heavily and was quite delirious. He had formerly been
traveller in a respectable firm.
Mr. Benson—This is the fruits of excessive drinking'
had better remand the poor fellow for a week.

A PAUPER'S PLEASURE.—WiIIiam Withers, aged .O
years, was charged with refractory conduct as a pauporuj
the City of London Union and absconding with the el°V
ing given to him by the guardians to wear.
The prisoner has been a pauper at intervals for man,
years, and has often discharged himself and returned agi
in a day or two. One day last week he wanted his clis:
charge, which Mr. Saunders, the master, refused to gi'°o
him because his wife, also a pauper inmate, would not,Sor
out with him. The prisoner thereupon got over the on"r
walland made his escape. He obtained employment iii°o
a day or two and bought some clothing, for he said to
could not obtain any work in them here togs, pointing 1,
the Workhouse suit. He brought back the suit be t°,°ol
out with him. It was contended by Mr. Saunders
he had been guilty of an irregularity, or rather Ina%
irregularies, first in getting over the wall, secondly
taking the clothes with him, and, thirdly, in going aLleg,
without his wife. It was admitted on both sides that Al'
Withers would not leave the Union with her husband r;
cause she knew he would soon make application for adalia°,l
again. Mr. Withers contended for his marital rights, :30
said the Poor Law Commission, and the chief of the .13°0,
of Guardians, the relieving officers, porters, laboured
superintendents, and last but not least, the master, 0
not deprive him of his conjugal rights.
enna
h Mr. Benson thought that the prisoner's wife was —2 t,
to obey her liege lord, and leave with him if he desire"
but he had no right to get over the wall.
ttO
Mr. Saunders—We do not know what the paupers 0
with them when they go over the wall. Then he bad
right to take the clothes with him. tit
The prisoner-1 was otliged to do that, or g° ed
naked, and be arrested by the police as a rogue an
vagabond.
bat
Mr. Benson said it was a difficult thing to know
to do with the case. He remanded the ~
prisoner '°'
week.
