POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 7.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Charles Murray, who
had been remanded upon the charge of having
been (bunk ant disorderly, and assaulting a police-
constable named John. Banyard, 562, was again
brought before the Lord Mayor.
It will be recollected that the prisoner, who is
the son of a baronet, and who has been on several
previous occasions brought to this court and corn-
mittJd to prison on siihilAr charges to the present,
was found in company with a wirer-side labourer
named liAley, creasing a disturbance in Aldgate,
and beating an old man. Ba-iy a, d into, fered and
advise 1 Mur. ay to go home, upon which the latter
struck him several times. Upon Murray being taken
into cu,tody, Holley, who was committed for 14days,
attempted to rescue him. Murray's conduct was so
violent that it required no less than four policemen
to convey him to the s-arion-house, and w hen there
he struck all around him, and gave I3anyard a
severe kick un the thigh which broke the face and
gla-s of his watch. He was remanded till to-day
for the purplise of seeing whether lics friends would
send any medical man to speak to the state of his
mind.

Before the prisoner was brought up, a gentleman
connected with his family made a communication
to the Lord Mayor the nature of which did not
transpire.

ThO Lord Mayor—What have you got to say
this morning, Murray
Prisoner—l cannot say anything at present, ex-
cept I am sorry for what has happened.
The Lord Mayor—l shall commit you, for the
assault on the constable, for twenty-one days with
liard labour ; and in the meantime we will consider
what is to be dune with you for the future.
Banyard—Will your lordship be good enough to
award me 33. for the damage he has done to my
watch? 9s. 61. was found upon him.
Piii,mer—How do I know your watch was in-
jured by me ? It's very easy to say so, but it's nut
right.
The Lord Mayor —I shall fine you 3s. for the
damage done to the officer's watch.
Prisoner—l want this 9s. 6d. to go to my wife.
The Lord Mayor—Wife ! you have no wife.
Prisoner—Yes, I have.
The Lord Mayon-All I can say is that I am sorry
to ilea. it.

Pi i=oner—l don't want the money for myself, I
want it for her.

The Lord Mayor—You should have thought o:
her before you brought yourself into your present
disgraceful position.
The prisoner wai then removed to the cell below,

GUILDHALL—James Julier, the driver of an
omnibus, badge No. 11,907, called the" Favourite,"
belonging to the General Omnibus Company, was
summoned before Alderman Salomons, to answer
the complaint of Messrs. Petter and Galpin,
printers and publishers, of Belle Sauvagt:-yard, for
furiously driving, against the statute, &c.
M L-wis appe trol for the defendant. •
Mr. George - William Petter said—On Monday
week last, the 29th March, I was riding on an om-
nibus belonging to the Salo,n Omnibus Company,
on my way house •o Hornsey-rise. I left the General
Pow-office at 20 minutes to 5 o'clock in the after-
noon, and on arriving at the cab- stand to ir the end
of St. Anne's-lane I saw one of the London General
Omnibus Company's omnibuses, driven by the de-
fendant, following us. There was a cart on the near
side of the cab-stand which impeded our progress,
and the driver of the Saloon omnibus therefore
passed through a break in the cab rank with the
view of going on the off side, but at that moment
the defendant lashed his horses into a furious gallop,
and ondaavoured to pass the Saloon omnibus hi fore
it got through the break, the result of which was
that toe two omnibuses came into collision, and the
passengers had a very narrow escape of being seri-
ously injured. No mischief did occur, and upon my
remonstrating with defendant ho became exceed-
ingly offensive, calling out and making remarks,
and gesticulating in a very insulting manner. He
continued to dive to and fro before the Saloon
omnibus, until both omnibus. s passed out of the
City, bat this sort of conduct continued throughout
the whole of the journey. I have taken out this
summons because this is not, the first, second, third,
nor fourth time defendant has been of such
conduct. I may mention that a spirit of rivalry
exists ou the par; of the London General Omnibus
Company against the Saloon Omnibus Company,
because the latter haVe started omnibuses to accom-
modate the inhabitants of Ilornsey; and the prac-
tice pursued by the London General Omnibus Com-
pany is to run an omnibus behind and another be-
fore the Saloon omnibus, which is technically called
" nursing." I have noticed, with others that the
defendant is a most furious driver, and on some
occasions ladies have screamed with fear, such was
the dolgtr to be apprehended from his reckless
conduct.
Alderman Salomons said he was of opinion that it
was a case of wanton and furious driving, and he
therefore fined the defendant 20e, and.costs, as the

only means of reaching the company at all was
through their servants.
The fine was immediately paid.

WESTMINSTER—MILITARY REGULATIONS.
—Edward Kelley Ras placed at the bar before Mr.
Arnold, charged with robbing a corporal of the
Coldstream Guards.

It appeared from the evidence adduced that
Henry King, the corporal, was out with a picket
on Tuesday night to bring in men of his regiment
absent without leave, when he was informed there
was one at a brothel in King's Head-court, Broad--
way, Westminster. He went thither, and was in
the act of ascending the staircase to a room where
there was a light, when his progress was arrested
by the prisoner, who said he should go no farther,
and called to a woman, desiring her to bring a
poker. A missile of a formidable description was
then thrown at the corporal by the woman, when,
in order to free himself from the prisoner's grasp,
and from further danger, he struck the accused
on the head with his stick. The police were called,
and the parties were proceeding down the court,
when the corporal discovered that he had lost his
Crimean medal, which he had worn on his breast,
and charged the accused with stealing it, upon
which he was detained at the station.
Mr. Arnold expressed his surprise that the cor-
pot al should have gone to a brothel with his medal
OD.

The Corporal replied that it was in obedience to
mili, ary regulations.
Mr. Arnold observed that there was not sufficient
evidence to justify him in detaining the prisoner
upon the charge of stealing (he medal, and he was
therefore discharged, bur if any further evidence
could be obtained he might be again apprehended.
Corporal King informed the magi-trate that the
loss of his me,ial would, in all probability, be at-
tended with very disastrous consequences to bim.
It would be looked upon as so grave an offence that
he would, in all probability, be tried by court-
martial, reduced to the ranks, and imprisoned for
28 days.

The worthy magistrate said he did not think,
upon a pr, per representation of the facts of the case,
that he need apprehend such consequences. He
(Mr. Arnold) must express his opinion that it was
an unwise and impolitic regulation which allowed
men to wear their medals upon such duty, as
scuffles in low places were v,ry likely to occur, and
if they were not stolen, there was great chance of
their being lost.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.---DESPERATE AT-
TACK ON A PARISH OFFICER.—Geo. Morris, Chas.
Tregoar, and David Chandler, three rough labour-
ing men, were charg,td with violently assaulting
Charles Wroe, the porter at St. Martin's workhouse.
Wt oe stated that on Tuesday, about eight o'clock
in the evening, he was returning from the station-
house to the workhouse, and when in Cas-le street
lie saw the three pris .ners walk towards him from
the workhouse_gate, and he heard one of them say,
" Sere he comes." The three prisoners came up
to him and obstructed his progress. Tney were all
known to him as having been temporarily received
into the workhouse. Tregoar slid to him, "Do
you mean to take us in to-night ?" He replied he
could not, and was going to explain further, when
Morris instantly struck him a violent blow on the
mouth, and the other two stuck him right and left
about the temples. Morris then closed with him,
and i❑ the struggle they both fell together to the
ground. Morris attempted to strangle him by
twist►ng his neckcloth, and the other two kept him
down. He managed to release his throat from
Morris who calle i out, "Stick to him ; and give
to him," and then Tregoar kicked him violently
two or three times. Ile was very seriously injured
by the violence he sustained, and his mou h and
nose bled profusely. Fortunately assistance arrived
and he was taken into the workhouse and put to
bed, and placed under the doctor's care.
Morris, in defence, said when he asked the com-
plainant for a night's lodging he was flung into the
gutter.

....
Chandler denied having assaulted the com-
plainant._

Mr. Bingham said because the complainant de-
clined to admit the three prisoners into the work-
house be had been subjec'ed to shameful violence.
If the un,hs-rving received relief then there would
be no relief for the deserving, and as all the pri-
soliers had acted in concert, he rhould mark his
serve of their conduct by inflicting the highest
punishment the law permitted.
Fined five pounds each, or two months.
