the prospect of additional facilities, there is natu-

others to borrow more than will provide for imme-
diate requirements. Meanwhile supplies of gold are

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTACK ON A SHERIFF'S OFFICER AT THE ALITA3IBRA.—
Albert Griffith and Alfred Stone, two waiters at the Al-
hambra, were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant
by Paice, 72 C, one of the warrant officers, charged with
assaulting Henry Nathan, an officer of the Sher;ff of Mid-
dlesex, he, the said Henry Nathan, being then and there
in the lawful execution cf his duty as such officer.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lawrence for the de-
fence.

Mr. Lem :s said the complainant, an officer of the Sheriff
of Middlesex, now intrusted with a writ of Ca sa to execute
at the Alhambra Palace, and bav:ng executed it, the defend-
ant amongst others, attempted, and eventually succeeded, in
rescuing the person, and the complainant was grossly ill-
treated by the defendant and others. He should simply
show to-day that the defendants were two of the persons
engaged in the assault, and then ask for a remand.
The Complainant said he was bailiff of the Sheriff of
Middlesex. On Tuesday evening last he went to the
Alha.nbra for the purpose of making a caption in pursuance
of a writ given by the sheriff. He made his caption, and
eventually the person was rescued—several persons taking
part in the rescue, 20 or 30 in all—and he was assaulted.
'The defendant was amongst the persons. He was seized,
and struck with clenched fists.

Mr. Lawrence said as there was to bo a remand he
would reserve his cross-examination, but he was informed
that the defendants wore not oven in the room at the time.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said he
explained to the person that ho had a warrant.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the defendant; taking bail for
their future appearance.
