POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SERIOUS ASSAULT.—John Angus, a lad living in
Smith's-court, Windmill-street, Haymarket, was charged
before Mr. Knox with the following assault on Mr. Ban-
dell Payne, bricklayer, of No. 2, Queen's-head-court,
Windmill-street.

Mr. Payne (whose head was bandaged) said that- on
Tuesday night last he was much annoyed by a number of
boys jumping and dancing on a cellar flap. He went out
and requested them to go away, but they refused. He
insisted on them going away, and on attempting to get
one of them out of the court he attempted to kick him,
and he then pushed the boy. While doing so the pri-
soner came up and struck him with something he had in
his hand, two violent blows on the head. Ho was
smothered with blood, and had to go to a medical man
and have his wounds dressed.

The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether at the time
he struck him he was not engaged in knocking his (priso-
ner's) brother about.
Tho prose, utor said he was not. The prisoner had a
slltrp instrument in his hand.
thspector Harrison said there had been daily complaints
from the inhabitants of the nuisance they suffered from the
boss in the court.

The prosecutor handed Mr. Knox a certificate, signed by
Mr. Harris, surgeon, of Windmill-street, to the effect that
the prosecutor had received two incised wounds of the
temple and face, and that the injuries might have been in-,
s tau tly fatal.

The prosecutor's son proVed seeing the prisoner strike
his father, the prisoner at the same time saying, "Take
that, you --.”
The prisoner said he had no knife in his hand.
Luke Jeffrey, 49 0, said that on taking the prisoner into
custody last night he said, "Would you not have done the
same thing if a man was knocking your brother about ?"
The prisoner said that he saw the prosocutcr knocking
his brother about, and he struck him to make him leave off.
Thomas Angus, brother of the prisoner, said that the
prosecutor knocked him about a good deal.
Mr. Knox said he had no doubt the prisoner interfered
on behalf of his brother, and if he had only struck the pro-
secutor with his fist there would have been little in the
matter. The question was whether the prisoner used any
instrument, and the medical certificate stated that the pro-
secutor had received two incised wounds, which might
have been instantly fatal. The prisoner was not justified
in using any instrument, and he might have been standing
in the dock on another charge. He would remand the
prisoner for a week, and the doctor could then attend.

ITEXATIOT:S PROCEEDINGS AGAINST CAB PROBRIETORS.
Mr. Robert Norris, cab proprietor, of Black Itorse-yard,
Carburton-street, appeared yesterday to answer a summons
for having a cab unfit for public use.

Hackney Carriage Attendant Jones stated that he found
,he hinges of the cab door a little loose, and the bottom of
litr door broken.

The Defendant stated that he was not aware there was
anything the matter with the cab, he never having received
notice from the authorities of the fact, which he was en-
titled to under the Act of Parliament. He considered the
prisoner's case of a most frivolous nature.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he quite agreed with the defendant
that the complaint was a trivial one. The defendant was
certainly entitled to notice, and he should therefore dismiss►
the summons.

Several other summonses were dismissed for a similar
reason.

THAMES.

A GERMAN THIEF.—CarI Frederick, a German carpen-
ter, about forty years of age, was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge, charged with stealing a bed, 10 pairs of stockings,
24 linen chemises, six knife cloths, and other property,
from the house of his brother, Augusto Frederick, Grove-
street, St. George-in-the East.
It appeared, from the evidence of Wilhelmina Frede-
rick, the prosecutor's wife, that her brother-in-law had
been in the practice of assisting there. Three weeks ago
the bed was safe on the bedstead; the other things were
in a box. After she had missed the property she saw the
prisoner several times, and he promised to return the pro-
perty he had taken away.

John Bowmo.nn, a German shoemaker, said he purchased
three pawntickets of the prisoner relating to a timepiece,
three canvas bags, and a shirt.

Henry Hayward, assistant to Mr. Fuller, a pawnbroker,
said the prisoner pawned two beds and four pillows for £3,
and that the prosecutrix was with him when he pawned
them.

Mr. Partridge asked the prosecutrix if she had lost two
beds.

Mrs. Frederick said she lost two beds, two pillows, and
two bolsters, worth .£lO. _ _

Hayward said the prisoner redeemed the bed, pillows,
and bolsters by means of a false declaration made before a
magistrate atter he had sold the duplicate.
The prisoner said his sister-in-law allowed him to pawn
the beds, bolsters, and pillows, and lent him the money he
raised upon the property.
The prosecutrix admitted this to be true, and said the
prisoner gave her the ticket, and then made a declaration
that he had lost, and went with another person and re-
deemed the property.
Mr. Partridge—lt was stated a little while ago that he
had sold the ticket. There is nodoubt he made a false decla-
ration, and there is no doubt his sister-in-law allowed him
to take some if not the whole of the property. The pri-
soner is discharged; uo jury would convict on this evi-
dence.
