INCORRIGIBLE PAUPERS.—TWO able-bodied young men,
who gave the names of Hayes and Foyle were charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance outside St.
Martin's Workhouse, York-street, Westminster.
The master of the workhouse said that the two defend-
ants came last night and asked for orders for admission
into the workhouse. He offered them an order fora nght's
lodging, which they refused in most disgusting language.
They went away and again returned and knocked vio-
lently at the workhouse, using the most disgraceful lan-
guage. They were both drunk, and remained creating a
disturbance for nearly four hours.

In reply to inquiries from the magistrate, it transpired
that they were in the militia, and wore discharged on Fri-
day last, with the payment of lls. The defendants said last
night they were spending their soldiers' pay.
The master of the workhouse said that these and a nmn-
ber of other young men refused to work either in or out of
the workhouse, and set the law perfectly at defiance. They
were hardly admitted into the workhouse than they.dis-

ROBBERY AND SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE ON A FOREIGN GEN-
TLEMAN.—Two well-known ruffians, named Thomas Des-
mond, aged 18, and John Driscoll, 17, were charged with
being concerned with another villain, also named John
Driscoll, aged 18, and three others, in violently assaulting
and robbing Mr. Karl Erlander, a surgeon, of No. 4, Upper
Berner-street, St. George's-iu-the-East.
The prosecutor, a German, who gave his evidence
through the medium of Mr. Wintgin, au interpreter, was
passing along Leman-street, Whitechapel-street, near the
police station, on the night of the 17th inst., when he was
suddenly attacked by three men in custody, and one more.
Desmond struck him on the face, another " bonneted" him
by striking his hat down over his face; he wasknocked down
and knelt upon, And the ruffians took his port-monnate
from his trousers pocket, his spectacles from his left waist-
coat pocket, and his watch from his right waistcoat pocket.
His purse contained £8 4s. in money when it was taken
from him. His watch was cut off the guard. One of the
thieves, John Driscoll, aged 18, was arrested immediately
after the robbery by Benjamin Archer, 101 11, and brought
before Mr. Partridge on Friday and remanded for a week.
The police believed if time was given they should be able
to apprehend the others concerned in the outrage and
robbery.

The prosecutor was able to identify the prisoners as
taking part in the attack upon him. Desmond was the
first to begin the attack.

Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners until Friday.
SCANDALOUS ASSAULT.-Arthur Attridge, aged 18, a
dock labourer of No. 4, King's Arms-court, Limehouse,
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently
assaulting Mr. William Hunt, manager of the King's
Head public-house, in Limehouse, and George Nicholas, a
policeman, 324 K.
The prisoner entered the King's Head public-house last
night while he was intoxicated and demanded liquor,
which Mr. Hunt refused to supply him with, and told him
to go home. The prisoner said he would stop as long as
he pleased, and created a disturbance. Mr. Hunt attempted
to remove him, and the prisoner threw him on the ground
three times, and kicked him on a vital part. The com-
plainant was put to great pain and inconvenience by this
dastardly assault. Nicholas, a constable, was called upon
to assist, and he was also violently beaten by the prisoner.
Mr. Paget said he had made it a rule, from which he
never int ended to deviate, to punish with the utmost seve-
rity, or to commit for hard labour, all persons who inflicted
savage and dangerous kicks. He sentenced the prisoner
to two months and hard labour for the assault on Mr.
Hunt, whose conduct was most proper, and one month's
imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on George
Nicholas, the sentences to be consecutive.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WEST DRAYTON RACES-MONDAY.

Favoured with extraordinarily fine weather, the Whit-
suntide pleasure-seekers were entertained with a racing
treat at West Drayton, where a capital meeting was com-
menced. The course, which is situated in close proximity
to the Great Western Railway, was in excellent condition,
and the several stakes forming the opening day's racing
produced numerous fields. The business arrangements of
the meeting were well and efficiently carried out, and the
day's racing passed off with the greatest success. The
Great Western Railway Company had made every possible
arrangement for the safety and convenience of the public,
and the unusually heavy traffic was admirably managed
by Mr. Bonner, the station-master at West Drayton. ;,The
following is a return of the first day's running :
