MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT BY A LIEUTENANT.—Bertie 1414Laren, 57,
Northumberland-street, a lieutenant in the 7th Bengal
Infantry, was charged with being drunk in the Haymarket,
and assaulting police-constable 80 C and damaging his
coat at the station in Vine-street.

Lesley, 46 C, said that at half-past eleven on the previ-
ous night the accused was turned out of the Waterloo
Tavern, in . the Haymarket, when he became very noisy,
refused to go away, and created a large mob, and he was in
consequence obliged to take him to the station-house.
Murrell, 80 C, said he was acting as gaoler at the station
in Vine-street when the accused was brought in. He be-
came very violent, and in consequence of the noise he made
by kicking at the cell door he was ordered by the inspector
to remove him to one of the lower cells, and while doing
so, the accused being very violent, he tore his uniform coat
and gave him a severe kick on the knee, causing him very
great pain. With the assistance of other constables they
got him to the cell, but he still behaved in a very violent
manner.

The accused said he was very sorry for what had occur-
red, and he was willing to pay whatever damage he had
done.

Mr. Bingham, having inquired of the officer if he was
much hurt, and the officer having said it was a very severe
kick, fined the accured 405., which was immediately paid.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Thomas Ryan, a tall and
powerful ruffian, about 26 years of age, who formerly be-
longed to the City police, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charged with assaulting and wounding Ann Spring, a
young woman of the class called "unfortunate."
It appeared there had been formerly some connection be-
tween the prisoner and complainant, and they quarrelled.
The complainant had preferred the attentions of another
fellow, equally as bad as the prisoner, who had expressed
his intention to bo revenged on his rival. About three
weeks ago the prisoner met the complainant on Tower-
hill, and some words passed between them. The
prisoner called the woman by some vile names,
struck her, and knocked her down, and when
she was down kicked her. She managed to
rise, and was bleeding profusely, and on her upbraiding
him with his cruelty, he swore at her, struck her, and then
seized her by the neck and flung her with great violence to
the ground. Her shoulder was dislocated, and she was in-
sensible for some time afterwards. The poor creature has
been suffering great pain ever since. The assault was
clearly made out, and it was proved that the complainant
had lost a good deal of blood, and was at present very ill.
Other witnesses (girls of the town), were called, and they
were not quite sober. The prisoner had been tampering
with them, and giving them drink before the case was called.
One female was very noisy, and Mr. Yardley directed that
she should be locked up until she was sober.
Mr. Yardley commented on the savage character of the
assault, and fined the prisoner £5. In default of payment
he was committed to prison for two months.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES BY A BOY.—William Powell,
a lad about 16 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charged with stealing various sums of money, the property
of his employers, Messrs. John and William Fraser, en-
gineers, of No. 10, Commercial-road, St. George-in-the-
East. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. William
Fraser, one of the firm, that the prisoner bad been for some
time in their employ, and one part of his duty was to clean
out the counting-house every morning. For the last three
months cash had been continually min sed from a drawer in
the counting-house, and how it was abstracted remained a
mystery until the prisoner's apprehension. Sometimes one
sovereign, at others two sovereigns, and at other times
15s. to 20s. were stolen. The firm had lost about
£3O in three months. At lait Mr. William Fraser marked
six sovereigns and a quantity of silver, which he deposited
in the cash drawer. After the prisoner had finished clean-
ing out the counting-house Mr. Fraser examined the
drawer, and missed a sovereign, a half-crown, and a four-
penny piece. They had all been marked. The prisoner
was immediately taxed with the robbery, which he denied.
He was given into the custody of a police-constable, and a
marked half-crown and a marked four-penny piece were
found in his pocket. The missing sovereign was not dis-
covered, and it is supposed the prisoner concealed it. A
key with which he had opened the drawer was found upon
the mat in the counting-house. The prisoner refused to
plead, and was committed for trial.
