POLICE INTELLIGEN'C'E._( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CRUELTY TO THE SHEEP IN liENSINGTON-GARDENS.
Michael Casey, an errand boy, was charged before Mr.
Beadon with ill-treating the sheep in Kensington-gardens.
Edwards, park constable 57, said that at half• past five
the previous afternoon, while on duty in Kensington-gar-
dens, a gentleman came to him and told him that some boys
were cruelly ill-treating some sheep, and on his going to
the spot he found the prisoner and three others beating the
sheep over their heads and legs with thick sticks in a very
brutal manner. [The park-keeper here produced a thick
rail which he took from the prisoner.] He managed to
secure the prisoner, but the others escaped. It was a
practice of daily occurrence, and many complaints were
made of the conduct of the boys.

Mr. Beadon said it was a monstrous and abominable
practice, and he should do his utmost to stop it. He should
therefore commit him for seven days with hard labour.
ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE HY A WOODEN-LEGGED
MAN.—John Griffith, a wooden-legged man, was charged
with assaulting Sergeant Appleton and a constable of the
C division by striking them about the head with his fist,
and also severely kicking them with his wooden leg while
on the way to the station, using at the same time very bad
language.

Mr. Beadon said the prisoner had made use of that which
was an object of pity (the prisoner being a crossing sweeper)
as a weapon of offence against the police. He should com-
mit him for seven days.

THAMES.
THE IRRELIGIOUS DISTURBANCES IN VIE CILURCII OF
ST. GEORGE'S-IN-TRE-EAST.—MORE LITIGATION.—This
morning Mr. Charles Warren Adams, a very tall young
gentleman, and a well-known partisan of the Rev. Bryan
King, whose name has been frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the disturbances in the parish church of St.
George's-in-the-East, applied tolMr. Selfe for a summons
against Mr. William John Thompson, the senior church-
warden of the parish, for assaulting him on Sunday night.
The applicant is the son of the late Mr. Sergeant Adams,
for many years Assistant-Judge of the Middlesex and
Westminster Sessions, and is an ardent advocate of
High Church doctrine, better known as Puseyism.
He was accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Dove, one of the
curates of St. George's, who, it must be recollected, had to
pay compensation to Mr. Herbert, the parish constable for
assault, and injuring his leg, in the vestry of St. George's
church, a few weeks since.

Mr. Adams, in applying for the summons, said he had
been grievously assaulted by the churchwarden. On Sun-
day evening he was standing at the altar rails of the church
endeavouring to prevent a disorderly mob from entering
the altar, when Mr. Churchwarden Thompson, at the head
of several persons, came towards him, collared him, pulled
him off the steps, shoved him along, and kickod him, and then
gave him into the custody of Button, the parish beadle, who
escorted him some distance from the altar and then released
him.

Mr. Selfe—You are entitled to a summons.
The summons was made out. The churchwarden who
was unanimously re-elected by the vestry on Good Friday,
and who has been complimented by the magistrates of this
Court for his impartiality and discrimination in the course
of the unhappy disturbances will be defended, at the ex-
pense of the parish, by Mr. Howell, the vestry clerk.
