SOUTH WARK.

The constables denied using their truncheonf. The
bruises on the prisoner's head and arms were caused by
his plunging about.

Mr. Burcham told him that the police must be pro-
tected from the brutal violence of such men while in the
execution of their duty. He had violently assaulted one
of them, fur which offence he should commit him to the
House of Correction at Wandsworth, with hard labour.
The sister was then charged with attempting to res-
cue him, and fined 40s. or one month's imprisonment.

THAMES.
A. MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG THlEF.—Francis Slatcr, aged
15, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing
a brass bearing, value 253., the property of Messrs.
Westwood and Bailey, engineers and machinists, of
Poplar.

It appeared that the prisoner had been in the employ
(
of the prosecutors a few days only, and during that time
property bad been missed daily from the factory. Yes-
terday when the prisoner left the premises ho was fol-
lowed, and several pieces of brass were found upon
him; he was ther.fere brought back. They formed part
of the brass bearings of a machine, which the boy had
spoiled by his wanton depredation. Other pieces of
brass were found in the street over which the prisoner
had passed. They formed portions of the brass bearings.
Mr. Delaney, a clerk in the establishment of the pro.'
secutors, said the boy's father was employed by them,
and his earnings amounted to 6,i. per day.
The father of the prisoner said he had set his son a
good example, and he wanted for nothing at home.
He could not account for the boy committing the
robbery.

The prisoner, a sullen fellow, made no defence, and
Mr. Selfe, aftor observing that he was a very dange-
rous thief, who ought not to be trusted where there was
any valuable property deposited, sentenced him to two
months' Imprisonment and hard labour.

ROBBING A CAPTAIN OF 401.—Ellen Ridanowl, an
Irish woman was brought up on remand before Mr.
Selfe, charged with stealing a purse containing 401. in
gold from the person of Captain Thomas Edmond, the
master of the ship Princess Royal.
The robbery was committed in the Kettle and Drum
public house, Ratcliff-highway, on the night of Tuesday
the 28th ult. Throe prostitutes, of whom the prisoner
was one, were drinking with the captain and pulling
him about, and imanaged to take his purse containing
his gold.

The landlady of the Wellington, Cannon-street,
Ratcliff-highway, saw the prisoner and another woman
enter ber house on the night of the robbery. The pri-
soner had a purse containing 40 sovereigns, which she
shared with her companion.

Mr. Safe again remanded the prisoner for a week.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE. Macarthy, a tail,
powerful looking Irishman, was brought before Mr.
Burchatn, charged with committing an assault upon Wm.
Bond, police-constable 179 M, in the execution -of his
duty.

The complainant stated that he was on duty in Union-
street shortly before one o'clock that morning, when he
saw the prisoner and several others standing at the cor-
ner of Parson's-court. The prisoner was extremely
• violent in his behaviour, and as a respectable female
attempted to pass he pushed her into the road. Witness
went up to him and told him to go home, and not annoy
the public any more, when he suddenly rushed upon him
and knocked him down. Witness seized hold of him to
secure him, when he kicked him violently, and would
have severely injured him had not another constable
came to his assistance. The prisoner's sister attempted
to rescue him, and called out for a poker.
Police.constable 121 M said he was attracted to the
spot by hearing the cries of police, and when he arrived
there he saw last witness on the ground, and the prisoner
kicking him. Witness caught hold of the prisoner,
when his sister came up and attempted to pull him away.
They had a severe struggle, during which the femltle
called out for a poker, and had not other assistance come
up the consequences might have been very serious.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was under
the influence of liquor at the time, and was shamefully
iltused by the police, who struck him about the head
and arms with their truncheons.
