CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —Henry LONISOD, a carman, aged
28, of No. 3, Wright's-buildings, Salmon-lane, Limehouse,
was charged at the instance of Mr. Love, chief officer of
the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Ani-
mals with working a horse in en unfit state. Matthew
Johns, a police-constable, No. 217 K, saw the prisoner
driving the horse in a cart. The animal was in a state of
great suffering, arid in very poor condition, with broken
knees in front of the fetlock joint, cut, and a leather boot
on the inside of the near hind hoof. There was a wound
under the leather in a very bad state. The horse belonged
to a Mr. Parsons, contractor, of Gun-lane, Limehouse. The
prisoner said he was not aware the poor horse was in such
a bad state when he took it out to work. His master was
very ill and could not leave his room. The prisoner was
liberated on his own recognisance till Wednesday, and a
summons against his master ordered.
SCANDALOUS TYRANNY TO A WORKMAN.—A poor man
renewed an application to Mr. Partridge which he had
made to Mr. Paget on Friday evening, when a warrant was
pro forma granted, but there was not time to make out the
necessary process. The applicant is a sailmaker. A few
weeks since the men in the workshop where he was em-
ployed were on strike. He refused to join the combina-
tion, and was driven out of the shop. He had not been
employed since. One man, named Edward Baldwin, had
been very spiteful, and threatened him in the club-room of
the benefit society when ho was paying his contributions
to the funds, and sail he would bo the death of him.
Baldwin also threatened to serve him out whenever he had
an opportunity, pushed him against the counter of a pub-
lic-house, and pushed his glass of ale over.

Mr. Partridge said he would grant a warrant for the
apprehension of the offender Baldwin.

SIX. CHARGES AGAINST A MAN AT CItEMORNE.—Thora
Brown, a cabman, was charged with a series of offences
at Cremorne Gardens.

Police-constable Potter 162 T, said that at three o'clock
that morning he was at the water-side entrance at
Gramme, and saw a gentleman and two ladies gat into
the defendant's cab, which was standing there. The
gentleman asked what ho would charge to St. James's-
square, and defendant replied os., but in a few minutes
after this he told the gentleman he should not go unless
they gave him 10s. He produced a badge for his number
to be taken, and the waterman coming up at that moment
said that the false badge now prodaced by the mill had
been missing some time. Defendant then rushed away
and would not take the faro. He afterwards returned,
saying ho had no badge, he was the proprietor. Witness
saw defendant was very drunk. He mado a severe
kick at the waterman's stomach, and kicked witness
violently in the lower part of the stomach, and also kicked
Clarke, another constable. He was very violent.
Defendant said he got no money for the cab at the rank,
so he went out with it himself, as ho was the proprietor.
The police said the name of the owner of the cab was
Thomas Cooper.

William Henry Abbott, a waterman, proved that the de-
fendant had used a foul badge.
Defendant said he had not got one of his own. He drove
to Fulham.

Police-constable Clarke ehowed that the defendant kicked
him.

Defendant said he was seized roughly and taken away
from his cab just as he wanted to see all things straight.
Mr. Selfe—There are no less than six charges against
you. For being drunk, for driving without a badge, for
an attempt to extort money, and for three distinct assaults
and ha thought the case a very bad one.
Defendant—l hope you will look upon it leniently.
Mr. Selfe—l am sure I will not. On public grounds I
consider it my duty to punish you severely.
Committed for six weeks without a flue.
