MARLBOROUGH- STREET.
THE HAYMARKET.—Joseph Jones, a gentlemanly
looking man, residing at 41 Tottenham-court-road,
Henry Andrews, described as a broker, of No. 41,
Threadneedle-street, and Gustav Portbury, a
waiter, residing in Dean-street, Soho, and two
young women, named Mary Clarke and Adelaide
Walmsley, were charged before Mr. Knox with dis-
orderly conduct in the Haymarket, and Jones was
further charged with assaulting the police.
The evidence of Inspector Pay, C division,
Sergeant Leech, 17 C, Serg .ant Pope, 26 C and
police-constable Portch, 28 C H, Palmer, 4 C B,
and &lead, 33 C H, was to the effect that they saw
Jones and Andrews about one o'clock that morn-
ing in the Haymarket drunk, pushing against every
person they came near, at the sarn•e time shcut-
ing at the top of their voice and causing a crowd of
prostitutes and other disorderly characters to a,:sena-
ble. The constable Portch requested Jones and
Andrews to go away, but they refused. Jones
struck Portch in the face, not a very severe blow,
but it had the effect of causing Portch to go down,
and in doing so his thumb was hurt. While the
altercation was going on between the officers and
Andrews and Jones the other defendant (Portbury)
came up, as also did the females, and joined 10
the disturbance, but Portbury appeared to have
taken very little part in the battle. As the crowd
kept on increasing, there not being fewer than 600
persons collected, the police took all the defendants
into custody.

In answer to the charge,
Jones admitted that he was not sober, and said
that he was handled by three very strong fellows,
but not very bad ones, but he considered they acted
very roughly towards him.

Mr. Knox reminded Jones that he was drunk at
the time, and therefore could not well recollect
what occurred.

Jones said he did not think the police had a right
to tell him to move on.

Mr. Knox said that now that he (Jones) was
sober he would ask him whether he thought the
police would have been doing their duty if they
allowed drunken men to disturb a whole neighbour-
hood by shouting out at the top of their voices ?
Jones made no reply.
Andrews said he was perfectly sober, and all he
did was to attempt to get Jones home.
Mr. Knox said all the witnesses had sworn that
Andrews was drunk.

Andrews said he was not drunk, having dined
at seven o'clock, and it being one when he was takeo
by the police.

Mr. Knox asked Portbury whether he thought the
authorities of Cologne (Vortbury's native place)
would allow such a thing as a mob of two or three
hundred persons to disturb the public peace to g°
on for sonic hours, and Portbury said they would
not.

Mr. Knox discharged Portbury, and fined Jones
£5 and Andrews 40s. The females were committed
for seven days each.
Alfred Hunt and Solomon Belasco were charged
with attempting to pick pockets in the Haymarket/
and after hearing the evidence of Sergeant Leech,
and Walker, 216 C, Mr. Knox committed them for
three months, with hard labour each.
