WESTMINSTER—MILITARY REGULATIONS.
—Edward Kelley 'was placed at the bar before Mr.
Arnold, charged with robbing a corporal of the
Coldstream Guards.

It appeared from the evidence adduced that
Henry King, the corporal, was out with a picket
on Tuesday night to bring in men of his regiment
absent without leave, when ho was informed there
was one at a brothel in King's Head-court, Broad-
way, Westminster. He went thither, and was in
the act of ascending the staircase to a room where
there was a light, when his progress was arrested
by the prisoner, who said he should go no farther,
and called to a woman, desiring her to bring a
poker. A misde of a formidable description was
then thrown at the corporal by the woman, when,
in order to free himself from the prisoner's grasp,
and from further danger, he struck the accused
on the head with his stick. The police were called,
and the parties were proceeding down the court,
when the corporal discovered that he had lost his
imean medal, which he had worn on his breast,
and charged the accused with stealing it, upon
which he wai detained at the station.

Mr. Arnold expressed his surprise that the cor-
poi al should have gone to a brothel with his medal
on.

The Corporal replied that it was in obedience to
mill, ary regulations.
Mr. Arnold observed that there was not sufficient
evidence to justify him in detaining the prisoner
upon the charge of stt-alitig the► medal, and he was
therefore discharged, bur if any further evidence
could be obtained tie might be again apprehended.
Corporal King informed the magistrate that the
loss of his medal would, in all probability, be at-
tended with very disastrous consequences to him.
It would be looked upon as so grave an offence that
he would, in all probability, be tried by court-
martial, reduced to the ranks, and imprisoned for
28 days.
The worthy magistrate said he did not think,
upon a proper representatio❑ of the facts of the case,
that he need apprelpind such consequences. He
(Mr. Arnold) must expre,s his opinion that it was
au unwise and impolitic regulation which allowed
me❑ to wear their medals upon such duty, as
scuffles in low plawes were v. ry likely to occur, and
if they were not stolen, there was great chance of
their being lost.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--DESPERATE AT-
TIOK ON A PARISH OFFICER. —Geo. Morris, Chas.
Tregoar, and DAvid. Chandler, three rough labour-
ing men, were charg.•d with violently assaulting
Charles Wroe, the porter at St. Martin's workhouse.

WI oe stated that on Tuesd3;y, about eight o'clock
in the evening, he wss returning from the station-
lytuse to the workhouse, and when in Owl° street
he saw the three pris ners walk towards him from
the workhouse.gate, and he heard one of them say,
" Here he comes." The three prisoners came up
to him and obstructe I his progress. They were all
known to him as having been temporarily received
into the workhouse. Tregoar said to him, "Do
you mean to take us in to-night ?" He replied he
could not, and was going to explain further, when
Morris instantly struck him a violent blow on the
month, and the other two struck him right and left
about the temples. Mortis thou close I with him,
and in the struggle they both fell together to the
ground. Morris attempted to strangle him by
twisting his neckcloth, and the other two kept him
down. He managed to release his throat from
Morris who calle i out, "Stick to him ; and give
to him," and then Treg.tar kicked him violently
two or three times he was very seriously injured
by the violence he sustained, and his mou h and
nose bled profusely. Fortunately assistance araved
and he was taken into the workhouse and put to
bed, and placed under the doctor's care.
Morris, in defei.ce, said when he asked the coin
plainant for a night's lodging he was flung into the
gutter.
Chandler denied having assaulted the corn
p'ainant._ _ _

- Mr. Bingham said because the complainant de-
clined to admit the three prisoners into the work-
house he had been subjec'ed to shameful violence.
If tke undeserving received relief then there would
be no relief for the deserving, and as all the pri-
soners had acted in concert, he should mark his
sense of their conduct by inflicting the highest
punishment the law permitted.
Fined five pounds each, or two months.
