ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—Patrick Green, a man of about
35 years of age, was charged with the following atrocious
outrage :

Mrs. Gaum, wife of a painter and grainer, living in
Westmoreland-street, Pimlico, said—Last evening I was
coming home with my husband, when I was most shame-
fully insulted by this man. I was arm in arm with my
husband in Queen-street, Pimlico, when the prisoner came
in front of me and put his hands upon me in a most in-
delicate manner. lie put both hands upon me at the same
moment.

Mr. Arnold—Did he say anything ?
Prosecutrix—Yes ; he said "My dear, where are you
going." I stopped still, for, from the manner in which he
placed his hands upon me, I could not proceed any further.
I could not walk. My husband asked what he did it
for, when he made use of very bad language and showed
fight. My husband called police constable 229 B, who
said he could not lock the prisoner up. I might take a
summons against him, and asked the prisoner his address,
and then when he gave one told him to go away home. We
followed him, and meeting another constable told Lim, And
he immediately took him into custody.
Prisoner—The man came up to me and said I insulted
his wife, and he kicked me and threw me down without the
least occasion. I never insulted his wife.

John Gaum, a respectable-looking man, husband of the
complainant, fully confirmed her statement of the indeli-
cate way in which his wife had been assaulted. After pri-
soner had given an address prosecutor was following to
ascertain whether it was correct, when he took to his heels,
and then he detained him.
Mr. Arnold—The conduct of the policeman who refused
to take this charge was most improper. If there was a
case in which a constable ought to take a man into custody
t is such an one as this.
Mr. Howard, insp3ctor of the B division—He is already
reported.
Some further evidence was given in confirmation of the
complainant, it being shown that prisoner knew perfectly
well what he was about,
Mr. Arnold said—This is a most gross and aggravated
assault. You are committed for six months.
