SERIOUS ANNOYANCE TO TRADESMEN.—Thomas Osborne,
a boy, was charged before Mr. Knox with throwing a stone
at the shop of Mr. Charles Buckland, greengrocer, of
Long's-court, Leicester-square.

. From the evidence of the complainant it appeared that
about eight o'clock the previous night he saw the defen-
dant, with about 30 ether boys, armed with sticks, going
through Long's-court; and as they passed his shop several
of them struck the shutters with their sticks, while tile
defendant flung a stone into his shop. He caught the de-
fendant and gave him into custody.
in answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said a number
of boys were in the habit of doing the same thing every
night.

Police-constable Coulson, 216 C, said that he noticed
about 60 or 70 boys, most of them having sticks, knocking
at the doors and shutters in Leicester-square, and several
of them throwing stones. He went after them, and the
complainant, who had stopped the defendant, gave him into
custody.

The defendant said he only went to see what was tke
matter, when the complainant caught hold of him, lie
never throw any stone.

Mr. Knox fined the defendant ss. or three days, and told
the complainan.; that if he was annoyed again and applied
to hit; he would soon put a stop to the annoyance.

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.—Mary Ann Ryan, alias
Castor, a tall, strong, masculine woman, with a baby in her
arms, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
violently assaulting Jane Webb, of Market-street, Poplar.
The complainant, a respectable and modest young
woman, the wife of a bricklayer, who is far advanced in
pregnancy, said she went out last night to obtain her hus-
band's supper, when the prisoner and three other women
who were perfect strangers to her boat her in a most
brutal manner. The prisoner seized her by the- hair of her
head and knocked her down, and when she was down
stamped upon her. She was rescued by the bystanders,
and carried to her home.

In answer to questions by Mr. Partridge, the complain-
ant said she offered no provocation, and never offered an
insult or spoke a word to the prisoner.

Edmund Langton, a police constable, 280 K, said the
prisoner was a dissipated character, and ranging the streets
at all hours of the night.

on Saturday, April 23, 1863, and a good deal of •litigation
afterwards took place relating to the salvage. Mr. French
afterwards committed suicide under strange circumstances.
His partner has given way to dissipation ever since. "Last
night," said a police constable, named Joseph Soper, 693 A,
I saw a great crowd of persons in the East India-road, and
the prisoner in the middle of them, shouting,, swearing,
and hallooing. He was very drunk and violent, and I had
a good deal of trouble with him. The people said "There
is our Uncle Ogilvie." (A laugh.)
