POLICE I TEL LIG MN E—Feb. 3.

WORSHIP-STREET. ---- EXTRAORDINARY OUT-
RAWL —Henry Williams, a well-dressed youth,
about 16 years of age, was charged, before Mr.
Hammill, with having wantonly fired a loaded pis-
tol at Mr. Frederick Beale French, a solicitor,
having offices in Crutcbed-friars, and residing in
Amherst-road, Stoke Newington, whereby he had
sustained grievous personal injury.
Police-constable Pocock, 432 N, stated that,
while on duty at Dalston-rise, between seven and
eight o'clock, on the previous evening, he suddenly
heard the report of a pistol, and on hastening to
the spot from whence it proceeded, he met the pri-
son,,r running at the top of his speed, and pursued
by the prosecutor. Witness intercepted the pri-
soner, and detained him until the arrival of Mr.
French, who at onca charged him with having
deliberately shot him. The prosecutor, who was
bleeding profusely from the mouth, and in a state
of greet excitement, then gave the prisoner into
custody upon the charge of having deliberately shot
him. The prisoner, who made no answer to the
accusation, wag conveyed to the station-house,
where witness proceeded to search him, and found
in his possession the pocket-pistol, together with the
percussion-cap,: and looc,e gunpowder, which he now
produced. The injured gentleman, who' was in a
manifest state of extreme suffering, was then con-
veyed to his residence, on reaching which he was
promptly attended by bis family surgeon, who dis-
covered the marks of no fewer than 16 small shots,
which had penetrated the lower jaw, and forced out
three of his teeth. The officer added, that the prc-
secutor was at present in such a dangerous state as
to preclude hia attendance, and that he was wholly
at a loss to account for the outrage, as the prisoner
was a perfect stranger to him.
The prisoner, who made no observation in an-
swer to the charge, was ordered to be remanded.

SOUTHWARK. —ALDERMAN EfUMPHREY OB-
STRUCTING THE THOROUGHFARE.—AIderman Hum-
phery, the owner of Hibernia Wharf, and other
extensive premises under the archway of London-
bridge' on the Surrey side of the Thame?, was sum-
moned before Mr. Burcham for causing an obstruc-
tion in the public street, by placing a ,large number
of oil casks on the foot pavement.
Mr. Errington, the Sanatory Inspector of St.
Saviour's district, said, that for some time past, the
servants of Alderman Humphery have been in the
habit of placing oil casks on the foot pavement
under the archway of London-bridge, thereby com-
pelling the public to walk in the roadway, which
was generally scattered with oil. Complaints were
made to the vestry, and witness at one time saw
sixty-eight casks of oil on the pavement, where they
remained several hours.

A gentleman who attended for the Alderman
said that he paid considerable runt for the premises
' under the dry arches of London-bridge, and stored
oil there. There was a difficulty in getting the
casks, and they remained only a sufficient time to
' store them. The place was not much used by the
public, as there were gates at the end, which were
closed at night time.
Mr. ErringtDn said it was a public street leading
to Moat tgue-close, much frequented by the public.
Mr. Burcharn said that such obstructions could
not be allowed in the public streets. The defend-
ant must pay ss. and 2s. costs.
ANOTHER OBSTRUCTION.—Messrs. Moser and
Sons, the extensivo iron merchants, High-street,
Son h wark, were likewise summoned for obstruct-
ing the public street, by allowing one of their vans
to stand forty minutes in the roadway.
Peher, 93 M, said be was nn duty trar Saint
George's Church, whin he saw one of the defen-
dant's,vans standing forty minutes iu the s' reet,
near their gite.way. It completely blocked up the
thoroughfare.
One of the firm who was in attendance fold the
magistrate that their business was so extensive that
they could hardly avoid the obstruction. They
had room for two vans to load and unload up the
gateway, and while they were there other vehicles
waiting for a similar purpose were obliged to remain
in the street.

Mr. Bnrcham told him that he could not be
allowed to obstruct the street any more than any
other person. If their busines3 was so extensive
Ley must make some alteration in their means of
leading and unloading. Ho should not inflict any
penalty that time, but they must pay the casts.
