POLICE INTELLIGENCE—( This Day),

BOW-STREET.

A determined-looking girl, about 18 years of age, who
gave the name of Mary Ann Packman, a fruit-hawker, and
John Collins, who appeared to belong to the same class,
were placed at the bar, charged with being drunk and as-
saulting the police.

Police-constable F 163, said—Last night I was on duty
in Drury-lane, when I heard a loud screaming. On pro-
ceeding in the direction from whence the discordant sounds
proceeded, I found the female prisoner in Browalow-street,
shouting out in such a manner as to disturb the whole
neighbourhood. I told her to be quiet and go home, but
she refused to do so, and I then took hold of her to take her
to the station-house. At this moment the male prisoner
came up, and said no peeler should ever take the girl in
charge, and began to rescue Packman from my custody.
Police-constable 90 F arrived, and got Collins away from
the girl, who, immediately she saw her companion in charge
of the police, commenced a most determined and violent
resistance. The two prisoners were, after a great deal of
trouble, and the united exertions of three constables, safely
locked up. One of the policemen (90 F) was severely
bitten in the hand by the woman.
Police-constable, 90 F, corroborated the evidence of the
former witness. He also stated that the injury inflicted on
his hand by Parkman was of the most painful description.
A female who unfortunately happened to be in the cell
in which Parkman was placed on her arrival at the Bow-
street police-station, said—A few minutes after Parkman
was locked up she turned round upon me, and flew at me
like a tiger. She struck me, knocked me down, and then
bit my arm in a very shocking manner. I screamed loudly
for assistance, but not until Parkman heard the police ap-
proaching the cell did she leave off ill-using me, that
there might be no witness to the assault, but on the con-
stable retiring she recommenced assaulting and biting.
Mr. Henry (to the prisoners)—What have you to say to
this charge ?

Packman said she was drunk, and knew nothing about
it. Collins said the police assaulted him, and he was the
ill-used party.

Packman was fined 405., or three weeks' imprisonment ;
Collins 205., or 10 days' imprisonment. The prisoners
were locked up in default of payment.

A CASE OF STARVATION.—A swarthy-looking man in
a very destitute condition, named Roberts, was charged
with breaking one of the street lamps in Seven-dials.
Police-constable 148 F said—l was on duty last night in
Seven-dials, when, hearing a breaking of glass, I looked
round and saw the prisoner had broken one of the lamps.
He said he did it to get shelter.
Mr. Henry—What have you to may to the charge ?
Prisoner—Correct, sir. . . .

Mr. Henry—You know you have no right to break the
street lamps. What did you do it for ?
Prisoner—To get a bed to sleep upon. I have got no
home, no friends, and am starving. I have been wander-
ing about hungry for a long time.

Mr. Henry—You should have applied for relief to the
workhouse.

Prisoner—l've done so, but they all refused. I've
tried three or four of them.

Mr. Henry—Then you should have come here, and they
would have 'seen compelled to relieve you. What are you,
a soldier or a sailor ?

Prisoner—Both sailor and soldier. I have been layears
in the East India Company's service, in the 18th Regiment
of Bengal Artillery. I have seen much service, and lam
now wandering about starving, waiting for my pension.
Mr. Henry—But you should not break the street lamps.
Prisoner—l'm well aware of that, sir.
Mr. Henry—When were you discharged from the army,
and where is your discharge ?
Prisoner—l was discharged in June, 1856. I've lost my
paper.

Mr. Henry—l am afraid that it was not a good one or it
would have been worth keeping. _ _ _

Prisoner—Yes, yer honour, it was. I lost it while I was
harvesting. The reason I have no pension at the present
time is, that I did not complete 14 years' service, or that I
was not disabled or wounded. I have tried to get employ-
ment, but I have failed, and in a great city like this I am
left to starve.

Mr. Henry—You should have made the refusal of the
parish authorities to relieve you known at the police-court.
As it is, I must send you to prison for five days, unless you
can pay for the damage you have done.

AQUATICS. •

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £6O.—A scullers' race for the
above amount came off yesterday, from Cliff Creek to
Northfleet Creek, a distance of upwards of six miles, be-
tween Henry Corby, a waterman of Gravesend, and James
Finnis, a waterman of the Tower. The former is scarcely
known, although the same age as his opponent, who since
1851 has won race after race, and only lost two or three.
There was a great deal of money laid out, Finnis being the
favourite at 5 and 6 to 4. Corby won the toss, going over to
the Essex shore, and at the time of starting took a slight
lead ; it was rather rough at the time, and Finnis's old
fashioned boat not being so good a one as Corby's he began
to ship water soon after starting. In the first 200 yards
Corby got six or seven lengths ahead, and they rowed with
that distance between them for nearly two miles, at a capi-
tal pace. Then Corby took a longer lead, which he in-
creased at every stroke, and Finnis eventually gave up half
a mile from home, Corby being nearly the same distance
ahead at the time. Corby rowed in a boat built by Mr.
IVyld, of Lambeth, and was trained by Tom Grant, at Mr.
de Wardt's, the old Amsterdam, Gravesend.
PAIR-OARED RACE FOR £lO.—A well-contested pair-
oared race for the above amount was rowed yesterday after-
noon between four members of the Battersea Alliance
Rowing Club. The distance was from Battersea to Putney,
the following being the result :
Blue and White 1
Mr. Freeland J Mr. M'Cullocla.
E. Weston, coxswain.
Green and White
Mr. Robins Mr. Baden
E. Thorpe, coxswain.
_ .

They contended in the club race last Friday, when,
owing to a foul, the present match was made. Blue and
White were the favourites at 6 to 4, and had the best sta-
tion on the Middlesex side. The umpires and a referee
having been appointed, they got off very evenly together
(in outrigged gigs), and were oar-and-oar for 100 yards,
when Blue and White began to leave their opponents, and
off Kensington Creek had drawn their stern-post level with
Green and White's stroke thwart. The pace was exceed-
ingly good, but Blue and White continued to draw their
boat gradually away, and opposite the White Hart were a
clear length a-head, ultimately winning by four lengths.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR A SILVER Cur.-A capital
scullers' race was rowed yesterday afternoon, between Mr.
John Moiler and Mr. Frederick Everett two gentlemen
at-nate-ars of very considerable pretension as scullers.
Mdier was the faVotitite=-lus friends laying the odds at 6
to 4. A referee having been chosen, they got to their sta-
tions—Everett winning the toss. In getting away, Meller
had a slight lead, but it was very trifling and momentary,
and then his opponent became scull and scull, and at Finch's
was nearly a length a-head, and after a most exciting race
ttcht in the winner by two lengths. The distance was
from Putney-bridge to Hammersmith-bridge.
