sum of money for defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Michael Collins, John
Johnson, and Wm. Smith, three determined-looking fel-
lows, were charged before Mr. Beadon with assault, and
stealing a purse, containing some silver, from the person of
Mrs. Mary Ann Slade, an elderly lady residing at Acton,
Middlesex.

The prosecutrix, who is very infirm, said that on the
previous afternoon she was passing along Oxford-street
when the prisoner Johnson pushed against her with great
violence, which act was repeated by the others, causing her
nearly to fall to the ground, and at the same moment she
missed her purse containing some silver. The purse pro-
duced was the same.

Abel Dickens, 306 A, said he saw the prisoner, who was
running at the stop of his speed, fall in the road in conse-
quence of coming in collision with an omnibus. He went
to his assistance, thinking it was an accident, and offered
to assist him to a pump to cleanse himself from the mud,
when he very gratefully declined his offer, saying he did
not wish to " trouble him," and he was about leaving him
when a person came up and said he was concerned in a
robbery, and was escaping. The whole of the prisoners
were then taken into custody.
Cording, 126 C, produced the purse found in the area of
414, Oxford-street.

Wm. Thorp, 7, Queen-street, Grosvenor-square, said he
saw Johnson throw something away in Oxford-street.
Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoners.

THAMES.

SANGUINARY ArrßAY.—Thomas Murray, a seaman,
who presented a frightful appearance, and Thomas Smith,
a notorious and desperate thief, were brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with violently assaulting and wounding
Charles James Childs, a police constable, No. 193 H.
The parties appeared to have been engaged in a terrible
conflict. The constable was in a weakly condition from
loss of blood, and his head was bandaged. Murray was put
into the dock with nothing on but his shirt and trousers,
which were covered with blood, His head was also en-
veloped in surgical plaisters. It appeared from the evidence
of the constable that Murray was very much intoxicated
last night, in Back Church-lane. He consumed a quan-
tity of oysters at a stall, and then refused to
pay for them. A mob got about him, and he
went from place to place making a disturbance, and striking
at every one he met. He begged of the sailor to go home
and he refused to do so. He took the seaman into custody
and he went quietly some distance, and then suddenly
began kicking and plunging and struck witness and kicked
him several times. A violent struggle took place, in the
midst of which the other prisoner, Smith, came up, jumped
upon him, and, as he was getting up, kicked him on the
eye, and inflicted a severe wound. He received other kicks
and blows and was disabled. Other policemen came up
and took the prisoners into custody.
Mr. Selfe—How did Murray get his head broken?
Childs—He was extremely violent in the station-house,
and assaulted several persons. A police sergeant who was
injured struck him with a walkingstick. Smith is a thief,
and he threatened to serve me out on Sunday night when
I prevented him from committing a robbery. He belongs
to a lawless gang of thieves.

Mr. Thomas Hall, of No. 16, Eastcheap, confirmed the
statement of Childs as to the occurrences of last night, and
he said that in assisting Childs be was robbed of his watch.
Mr. Selfe fined' Murray £3, which was paid, and sentenced
Smith to one month's imprisonment, and also ordered that
he should find sureties to keep the peace.

COAST DEFENCES.—Some very heavy guns, prin-
cipally sixty-eight pounders and ten-inch shell, have just
been landed at Yarmouth, with their carriages, &c., for the
north and south batteries. A detachment of the Royal
Artillery, about twenty in number, are now busily engaged
in placing these formidable engines of destruction in posi-
tion. The erection of a town battery near the site of the
one destroyed, and works properly defended thrown up at
the harbour's mouth would render Yarmouth secure from
a coup de mdin.
