WESTMINSTER.

ASSAULTING TIIE POLICE.—IMPRISONMENT.— C has.
Pitt, well dressed, was charged with being drunk
and incapable of taking care of a horse and cart,
and assaulting the police.
John Ambrose, 241 A, said he was on duty at the
Victoria-tower, Westminster, and observed the
prisoner driving a cart at a furious pace towards
Millhank-street. He suddenly turned, and then his
companion in the cart tried to take away the reins•
Prisoner pulled the pony all over the road and
whipped him into a gallop, and then suddenly turn-
ing brought the head of the pony under the Queen's
Arch. Witness caught hold of the pony, when pri-
soner got his leg in the wheel and shaft. He re-
peatedly struck witness in the face, and kicked high
and he had to get assistance to convey him to the
station.

Robert Wilson, 23 A R, said he came to assist ;
prisoner tried to bite him, and kicked at the other
constable in a private part ; it took four constables
to carry him to the station by the legs and arms.
Mr. Salomon (prisoner's friend) said the police
had exaggerated the matter.
Prisoner said he had been drinking, and was
very sorry.
_ _

Mr. Selfe said no doubt he was, but the
police, in the execution of their duty, were
not to be knocked about in this indiscriminate
way, because they protected life and limb from a
drunken man driving a horse and cart; he sen-
tenced him to 14 days' hard labour.

THAMES.
A DESERTED BOY.—Wm. Shelwood, a wretched
half naked little boy, about ten years of age, was
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with begging.
Police-constable, 111 K, stated that he was
called to a person in Johnsou-street, Shadwell, last
night and found the prisoner there. The boy was
in a deplorable condition, and his rags were wet.
The boy had been asking for food and a night's
lodging, and upon questioning him he said that his
aunt, who lived in Caroline-street, Ratcliff, Lad
turned him out of doors, and that he was desti-
tute. He could not find the boy's aunt in Caroline'
street.
The prisoner repeated the statement he made to
the constable.
Mr. Partridge said he should not send the boy
to prison for being destitute. He remanded hint
to the Stepney Union-house for a week.
A STUPID SAILOR.—Ann Harris, with many
aliases, who has been frequently in custody, was
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with steal'

soner was missing. He soon found his jacket,
