VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON TIIE POLlCE.—George
Cullen, a young man decently dressed, was charged
with being drunk, fighting, and assaulting two
police constables in the execution of their duty.
John Rosling, 360 13, said at 3 o'clock on Satur-
day afternoon he was on dLty in Earl-street, West-
minster, and saw the prisoner and another man
fighting. He separated them and got the other
man away, and prisoner came back again. When
requested to go away, he said he would not, using
threatening language to the constable, and struck
him in the face ; be took him into custody, when
prisoner threw himself down, frequently kicked him
about the legs, and bit him in the hand.
John Grant, 289 B, said he saw Rosling strug-
gling with the prisoner and went to his assistance.
He used very bad language, and then kicked wit-
ness in the head. He tried to knock them both
down. With the assistance of two other constables
he was taken to the station.

Prisoner had no questions to ask, and said he
was not in the habit of drinking. On Saturday he
met a friend who gave him some drink, and it over-
came him, so that he remembered nothing until ho
found himself in the police cell.

Mr. Selfe said he would not have the police
knocked about in this way, and had it not been for
his not being there before he would have sent him
to prison without a fine. He sentenced him to pay
40s. fine, or be imprisoned for a month.

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

The constable (Damurett) stated that yesterday
afternoon he 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. Ile
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.
lie seized the prisoner, who made a determined re-
sistance and kicked at him. Tie 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

season, so far at least as grouse shooting is cow
cerned, may be said to be over. Very little is 13°/
reported from the moors, and the notes from the
forests are also meagre. Many gentlemen have
already shot the full number of birds that they were
entitled to by their agreement, and have now aben:
doned the coveys to the full enjoyment of the woe'
