AN ATROCIOUS MISCREANT. --John Crow, aged
19, a labourer, of 18, Joshua-street, Bromley, and
not improperly called the 11 omley Savage, was
brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged
with assaulting three police-constables.

On the night of the 30th ult. the prisoner was
making a disturbance in Joshua-street, and upon
Nightingale, a police-constable, 352 K, interfering
and requesting him to go home, he knocked him
down and kicked him. Before the police-constable
could rise the prisoner fell upon him and made an
attempt to commit a most atrocious and disgusting
assault upon him, one even unknown in savage war-
fare. Fortunately the miscreant did not succeed.
A mounted police-constable came up and released
Nightingale. The prisoner renewed the attack on
Nightingale, struck him, and kicked him on the
thigh. Simon Ralph, No. 32 K, and Tho►nas Park,
No. 292 K, came to the assistance of Nightingale,
and both were violently assaulted, and Ralph was
disabled by blows and kicks.

In answer to Mr. Paget Nightingale said " the
prisoner's head was down between my legs when he
made the attempt on me which I have described. I
have been under the care of the divisional surgeon
ever since."

Mr. Matthew Bromfield, surgeon of the East
India-road, said the constable Nightingale had been
disabled and unfit for police duty all the week.
Mr. Paget commented on the enormity of the
prisoner's conduct, and sentenced him to 4 months'
imprisonment and hard labour; 2 months for the
outrage on Nightingale ; and a similar term for the
assault on Ralph.

WESTMINSTER.
A PROPER CASE FOR AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.—
John Newton, a little boy about six years of age,
was charged, under the new Industrial School Act,
with wandering abroad, without any home or visible
means of subsistence, magistrates having power to
send such unfortunates to an industrial school.
Mrs. Elizabeth Warner, a charitable lady of
position, living at No. 1, Worcester-street, St.
George's-square, said the mother of this young boy
died a short time ago and left two children, the
elder of whom had been sent by her to school.
The father had deserted the mother some years ago
and gone to America. The priests had supplied the
mother with money until her death, and had kept
the child as long as they could. About three weeks
ago she found him wandering, and gave him over
to the care of a woman, but he had since
been wandering about the lodging houses begging
and subsisting upon casual relief. Hearing from
the Archbishop that there was a vacancy for a boy
at Walthainstowe she went to Peter-street last
evening, and found him destitute and in a deplor-
able condition. She had him washed and clothed,
and then this morning brought him before the
magistrate.
Mr. Arnold said the order had better be made at
once. What religion was the boy ?
Mrs. Warren replied that the mother was a
Catholic. - -

Mr. Arnold then issued his order to send the boy
to the Roman Catholic Industrial School at Wal-
thainstowe, where he will be kept and well brought
up till he has attained the age of 16 years.
