POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Days

MARLBOItGITGII-s MEET.

A. MAN CHARGED WITH FOUR VIOLENT
ASSAULTS.—THE WAY TO CIIECK STREET 0 UT-
RAGES.—Thomas Kelley, a labourer, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting a man named
John Keefe, and police-constable Gordon, 33 0,
Cane, 35 C, and Goseltine, 47 C.
On the case being called on Keefe was not in
attendance.

Goseltine said—About 10 o'clock on Saturday
night I was in Little Pulteney-street, when I saw
the prisoner making a great disturbance and want-
ing to fight everybody he came near. I got him
away two or three times, and on his returning
again, I asked him to go away, and on his refusing
I took him into custody. He went quietly a little
way when he became very violent, kicked me several
times, and it took five of us to take him to the station,
and on the way he assaulted some of the other con-
stables.

Gordon said—About 12 o'clock on Saturday,
while in Little Pulteney-street, 1 saw the prisoner
strike a female and others, and a man named Keefe
gave the prisoner into custody for assaulting him;
and on the last witness taking him into custody, he
became very violent, kicking him and everybody
near, being upon the ground at the time. Knowing
the prisoner, I told the last witness and another
constable, who was assisting him, to let the
prisoner walk if he would do so, an as
soon as the prisoner got up he gave me a blow be-
tween the eyes and kicked me. lle then seized my
coat with his teeth, uo doubt thinking he was biting
my wrist, and I had to strike him with my umbrella,
I being In plain clothes at the time, to make him
release hie hold. On the way to the station he be-
haved with the greatest violence, being more like
a cannibal than a Christian.

Cane said—Seeing the prisoner kicking the wit-
nesses, I went to their a sstance, when the prisoner
struck me a violent blow on the chest, and then
kicked me. After going a portion of the way to
the sta. ion he refused to walk any further, and we
had to carry
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the prisoner drunk ?
Gordon—lie had been drinking, but knew what
he was about.

The prisoner—I've nothing to say. It's no use
saying anything. I was drunk.

Mr. Tyrwhitt —For the assault on Gordon you
will go to prison for a mouth without a fine, and for
each of the other assaults you will have to pay 40s.
or a month. It is quite necessary to check the vio-
lence which at the present time is floating about.

WESTMINSTER.
SINGULAR CASE OF FELONT.—William Ranson,
a respectable-looking youth of 17, was charged
with stealing a half-ounce weight.
Mr. Kennan Hamburgh, tobacconist, of 41,
Great Smith-street, Westminster, said that at half-
past 12 yesterday morning, he saw the pri,oner
eater :his shop and put something on the counter.
He asked for a quarter of an ounce of tobacco.
The scales were swinging as though they
had been pushed, and prosecutor missed
from them the half-ounce weight, which
ho had just before been using. He asked
prisoner if he had seen it, and be declared he had
not. He gave prisoner into custody, and he was
taken to the station, where he was searched, but no
weight was found, and prosecutor withdrew the
charge). At five minutes past one, on returning to
his shop, a boy named Debas brought the missing
weight into the shop, and said the prisoner, who had
sent him with it, was over the way. Prosecutor went
out, when prisoner took to his heels, and on being
captured explained how he had evaded the search
for the weight at the station, and had after that de-
termined to restore it.
Mr. Arnold--What is known of the boy ?
The Father—l am a hard-working man, but I
can't get this boy to be industrious as I am. I wish
your worship would get him to sea —that would be
the best thing for him.
Mr. Arnold—Has heever been dishonest before?
The Father--Never ; never took a farthing of
any one that I heard of. He has never been in
trouble of any sort before, but he won't work, and
had better go to sea.
Prisoner was remanded for a week, to see whether
a ship can be provided for him.
