POLICE INTF.T.T.IGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

AN OFFICIOUS POLICEMAN. —Terse respectably dressed
persons, two named Tho:nas, husband and wife, and the
other Jones, were till- morning, placed at the bar charged
with violently assaulting several police constables.
Sorg ant Weston said—Last night I was on duty in
Eagle-street when I met the three persons at the bar.
The two wale prisoners were far from sober, and I heard
Thomas persuading Jones to go to bed. I went np to
them and then Thomas asked where a respectable bed
could be got. Jones said he preferred going home with
his friend, and I advised him not to do so, telling him at
the same time he had a perfect right to go where he
.hose. Upon giving this advice Thomas became very
much annoyed. I endeavoured to persuade Jones to leave
his friend, when ultimately Thomas became very abusive. I
attempted to take him into custody. His wife rushed
between us to prevent such a proceeding, and seeing I
was determined she began to offer a very strong resist-
ance. Another policenian came up and I handed Mrs.
Thomas aLd Jones over to him and then went with my
prisoner to the station-house. Upon our way, Thomas,
who had made a despertite resistance, said he would go
quietly, but on arriving at the top of Endell-street, he
broke away, but after 4
violent struggle he was recap
lured. He struck we 4 -
violent blow on my chest and
his wife bit my finger very severely. It took four police-
men) to convey him to the station-house.
