SAVA GP: ASSAULT ON A BAR3IAN.—Thomas
Canty, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with violently assaulting James Gray,
barman at the Horns and Horseshoe public-house
in Cable-street, Whitechapel.
The complainant, whose mouth was cut, said
that the prisoner came into the Horns and Horse-
shoe last night very drunk and noisy and demanded
refreshment. He refused to serve him with any-
thing, and the prisoner abused him and pulled some
customers about. He told the prisoner to leave the
house, and on his refusal to do so attempted to
eject him. The prisoner then struck him a tre-
mendous blow on the mouth with his clenched fist
and knocked him down. Tw•o of his teeth were
knocked out and his mouth cut by the blow.
ASSAULT UPON A RELIEVING OFFICER.—Timothy
Purcell, a labouring man, aged 36 years, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting
Mr. George
_Harris relieving officer of the Poplar
Union.

The complainant was engaged in the administra-
tion of relief to the poor in his office in the stone-
yard of the Poplar Union, and the prisoner was
among the numerous distressed applicants. lie
demanded bread loudly, and was requested to stand
aside until his turn came. He said he would do
murder if he did not have relief directly. Mr.
Harris said he must leave the office and come again
with better feelings and better temper, on which he
struck the relieving officer and swore at him. The
prisoner was then given into custody.
The prisoner in defence said he was very sorry—
he was drinking last night and did not know what
he did. He had an aged mother to keep.
Mr. Paget said the law did not invest him with
sufficient power to punish savage and unprovoked
assaults of this kind. He ought perhaps to commit
the prisoner for trial, and then perhaps the prisoner
would be adequately punished. The barman had
behaved very properly. He sentenced the prisoner
to two months' imprisonment, and hard labour.
The prisoner, in
.defence, said he and his family
bad been two days and two nights without grub,
and that Mr. Harris refused to give him some bread.
The poor were scandalously treated in Poplar, and
Mr. llarris laid hold of poor people and knocked
them about.

Mr. Harris said the prisoner had been relieved
several times, and would have been relieved if he
had waited in his regular turn. The pressure was
great, and the distress among the poor increasing.
the charge of cruelty. He
He denied indignantly
never illused a poor man or woman in his life, and
he attended with consideration and care to all ap-
plicants for relief.
Mr. Charles Butler, returning officer, 'confirmed
the statement of his colleague ; and Mr. Jeffreys,
an assistant, gave evidence in corroboration.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner and his family had
been relieved, and he ought to have known better.
He was determined to protect the officers of the
Union in the discharge of their duties. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment
and hard labour.
