POLICE INTELLIGEKCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUCHI-S TREE T.

A CAD-DRIVER CHARGED WITH STEALING A GENTLE-
MAN'S L LIG GAGE.— Charles Boyd, a cab-driver, badge
15,249, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a
portmanteau, containing articles of wearing apparel of the
value of £2O, the proporty of a gentleman named Phipps,
residing in Albemarle-street.

The Prosecutor said—On Monday evening, at a quarter
to six, I engaged the prisoner on the rank at Hyde-park-
corner, and stopped and took up a portmanteau and some
parcels at different places. The prisoner then drove me to
where I got out and went into a shop to settle
an account ; and on my leaving the shop, not being there
more than five minutes, I found the prisoner had driven
away with the portmanteau and parcels. The portmanteau
and parcels contained wearing apparel of the value of £2O.
I afterwards gave information to the police.
Henry Putnam, cab-driver, said—On Monday evening I
was on the stand opposite Baron Rothschild's house in
Piccadilly, and saw the prosecutor got into the prisoner's
cab. Yesterday the prisoner came and asked me if I knew
the man who took him up the previous day. I said 1 did,
and that he worked for Mr. Morson, of Smith-square.
Henry Dawson, 301 A, said —I went to Smith-square
yesterday, and found that the prisoner had not been to
work. 1 afterwards saw the prisoner in Victoria-street,
and asked him what he had done with the portmanteau
and other articles belonging to the gentleman he had taken
up near Hyde-park yesterday, when he denied all know-
ledge of the transaction. I asked him if he was driving
on Monday; and he said he was. I then took the pri-
soner to the last witness, and ho identified him as hav-
ing taken up the prosecutor, but said that he was
differently dressed. I then went to where the prisoner
lived, but could find no trace of the portmanteau or the
things. I found in their place a pair of leggings and a coat,
which the prosecutor identified as being those worn by the
prisoner at the time he engaged him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.
ITNPROVOKED AND RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.—Henry Wheat-
croft and Charles Bland, the former a groom, and the latter
a coaohman, and who were said to have come from New-
castle, were charged with assaulting Joseph Crooks, a
potato salesman, of No. 4, Exchange-court, Strand.
The complainant was going through Berkeley-square
with a truck load of potatoes, when one of the prisoners
came up to him, and struck him in the face, and on his
asking him why he had done so, both prisoners struck him
some severe blows, he not having given them the least
provocation.

The defendants said they had been drinking ?
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was the duty of magistrates to
mark these unprovoked assaults very severely. Such as-
saults might be very amusing to the persons who com-
mitted them, but they were not so to others. The pri-
soners would have to pay 40s. each or be committed for 14
days.
