ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—F. Ewing, a labourer,
was charged with assaulting a policeman.

The constable (Damurett) stated that yesterday
afternoon ho was attempting to drive away a great
number of idle and disorderly boys from Lower
East Smithfield without using any violence, when
the prisoner, who was intoxicated, interfered, and
asked him why he interfered with the boys. lie
said the boys had much better be at church or chapel
than gambling and swearing in the public streets on
a Sunday afternoon. The prisoner then called him
a monkey and a scoundrel, with powerful sanguinary
adjectives before each word, struck him, and knocked
off his helmet. Ile was driven by the force
of the blow from one side of the way to the other.
He seized the prisoner, who made a determined re-
sistance and kicked at him. lle procured the aid
of another constable and took the prisoner, who was
very drunk, to the station house. After the pri-
soner was locked up he kicked at the door of the cell,
and made so much disturbance that it was found
necessary to take off his boots.
Mr. Paget—Did he kick you ?
Constable—No, sir; he kicked at me.
Mr. Paget—That will save him from a longer
term of imprisonment than I am about to inflict.
The prisoner is sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment
and hard labour.

The Prisoner—Will you take a fine ? A friend
of the prisoner at the back of the court said—Do
fine him, sir, I will pay it.
Mr. Paget—l will not inflict fines for assaults on
the police.
Francis William Matthews, who has been a
waiter at a foreign beer-house, was charged with
assaulting Police-constable' Ayres, 96 K.

The constable stated that the prisoner was inter-
fering with two sailors who were in search of a
lodging. A row ensued between them, and he told

Excitement as to the results of the sporting
season, so far at least as grouse shooting is COn"
cerned, may be said to be over. Very little is linty
reported
_from the moors, and the notes from the
forests arc also meagre. Many gentlemen have
already shot the full number of birds that they were
entitled to by their agreement, and have now ;ban'
cloned the coveys to the full enjoyment of the moors
for the rest of the season. The following arc aWI
memoranda of sport :—On the Glenmazeran moors/
Mr. Fowler and two friends bagged from the 12t11,
to the 20th 1,020 brace grouse, besides hares an
woodcocks. Mr. Fowler left for Braemore on Fri;
day last. On the Dalinigavie moors, four On;
up to Saturday last killed 500 brace grouse. ki
Kyllack three guns had 900 brace of grouse up
Monday last. In Balmacaan forest, on Saturday'
Viscount Reidhaven brought down a fine stag wbilet
running, which weighed 16st 21b—a very good fee'
for a young sportsman just approaching his sif;
teenth birthday. Omi day last week Captain David
son, yr. of Tulloch, on the moors at the bad'
.;
Tulloch, killed in twenty minutes with one gill ‘3
brace grouse. On the 30th a gentleman upsvar(3-0
of 72 years of age shot in a short time 21f brace
grouse and three hares on the same ground. rrb
birds were very wild and numerous, and there Was
no appearance of disease. Mr. Bateson still ear;
tinues to have good sport at Culcairn on the in°°,o
of Mr. Butler Johnstone, M.P. In four dn.'
he bagged 112 brace grouse, besides re,
n°
and black game. Through the high gr°o
the birds were not so numerous as las
year, but at present they are free from '116;
ease. Sir T. Riddell and party, Stroutian, 113,1
been beating the woods for deer and roe. One Teri
o
fine stag fell to the rifle of Dr. Hue. He ‘i
clean head of nine points, and weighed (clean) of
stone. He was wonderfully fat. A number
ir
stags were started by the beaters. Deer are 1313,1
merous and in good condition on this ground, 3
the
grouse, though some coveys are still weak on
wing, are pretty numerous, and quite free frolo
disease. Lord Stamford and party in Glenn:1,1"o
brought down no less than 17 stags in course of id
week. The Carr-bridge party (Lord Scarsdale
friend) bagged between the 19th and 30th ult.
brace grouse, and nearly one hundred head of ottwe
col'
game. The Baqrshire Journal reports as the

past week has been purposely limited. On Mon ,
