a hairdresser, at 191, Radcliff Highway, was brought
ISil.lil
ofh ageOlM
before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting Frank Bath,
German, Emma Saundors, an unfortunate woman, and
about
Isaac Pawsey, a police-constable, 485 K.
This morning, between the hours of two and three
o'clock, the prisoner accompanied the woman Saunders to
a most infamous den, No. 1, Angel Gardens,- Shadwell,
where robberies, outrages, and even murder, have boon
frequent. A disgraceful quarrel took place between the
prisoner and Saunders, and ho struck her on the head with
a stick, dragged her along the room by tho hair of her
head, and made an attempt to strangle her. The landlord
of the vile place interfered, and the prisoner attacked
him, struck him about the head and face, and tore his shira
to pieces. Pawsey, a police constable, 485 K, was called
upon to quell tho disturbance, and arrested the prisoner.
On the way to the station-house tho prisoner throw him-
self on the ground, and struck the constable. The pri-
soner said that twenty policemen should not take him to
the station-house, and !undo use of filthy threats. He
kicked at Pawsey, and said ho would ruin him. Tho kick
did not fall where it was intended, but fell on the middle
of his thigh. The prisoner made a second kick at the con-
stable, which did not reach him. Ho then got Pawsey's
fingers into his mouth, and was biting them when another
constable, named Stroud, 270 Ix, hit him on the shoulder
with his truncheon, and compelled him to release Pawsey's
fingers. Stroud said he was.compelled to hold the prisoner
by the hair of his head, and pull him along to restrain his
fearful violence.
The prisoner
gave a general denial to the charge.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner picked up an unfortunate
girl in Ratcliff-highway and gave her 35., of which she
was compelled to give 2s. to that abominable wretch Bath.
Yes it was a fact that two-thirds of the wages of her ini-
quity were paid to the Gelman who was landlord of the
horrible place. Tho prisoner then demanded the 3s. from
the girl on the ground that he was not going to stay with
her all night, and because it was refused beat her and made
an attempt to strangle her. Pawsey, the police-constable,
was then savagely attacked, kicked, and his fingers bitter.
110 would not advert to another part of the case. The
prisoner's whole conduct was immoral and disgust-
ing in the highest degree, and brutal and savage.
Ho very much doubted whether ho ought not
to commit the prisoner for trial. Ho" would make the
punishment certain and prompt, and teach such villains as
the prisoner that they could not commit such outrages as
these with impunity. He sentenced the prisoner to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on
Emma Saunders, and two months' imprisomont and hard
labour for the assault on Pawsey, the sentences to be con-
secutive, making four months' imprisonment with hand
labour in all. lie did not award any punishment for the
assault on Bath, who was as bad as the prisoner, and
exacted 2s (tom the wretched such unhappy woman,
Saunders.
