POLICE INTELLIGENCE—May 6.

BOW- STREET.—Mary Lane, the wife of a man
employed in the docks, was charged with assault-
ing her daughter, a girl of about 12, on Saturday
night.
Police-constable F 96, deposed that he was on
duty on Saturday night, at half past 9, when he was
called into Charles-street, Drury-lane, by the pri-
soner's husband, who took him to the house No. 38,
and gave her into custody, for throwing a chair at a
little girl, who was then bleeding from the head.
The prisoner was drunk, but the husband was quite
sober. There was a bed in the room, and prisoner
threw herself on the bed and kicked witness in the
stomach. She had excused herself by saying that
she threw the chair at her husband, and it missed
him and struck the child by accident ; but in the
presence of witness she gave the little girl a heavy
blow in the face with her hand, and behaved in a
very violent manner while he was taking her to the
police-station.
The little girl, who gave her evidence very reluc-
tantly, said it was an accident, and her mother did
not hurt her much. She was obliged to admit, how-
ever, that the prisoner had been on a former occa
sion confined to prison for three imlaths for having
threatened her (the child's) life. The husband was
her step father.
The prisoner said she had been exposed to con-
tinued ill-treatment from her husband.

Mr. Henry--Y at are always getting drunk.
Prisoner—Can a woman get drunk on nothing
He never gives me any money to spend, but sends
the child out to buy things and leavts me penni-
less. lam black and blue (showing a very dirty
arm) from his blows. As for the girl, I never
meant to hit her.
Mr. Henry said it would be better to remand the
case for a few days. The confinement away from
drink would do her good.

WESTMINSTER„IDavid Locke, mason, was
charged with having violently assaulted Jas. Whee•
lan, whose face was much disfigured.
Complainant said that he was in the Marquis of
Granby, near Ebury bridge, on Saturday night,
taking a pint of beer, when a man of whom he
knew nothing invited him to drink, and on saying
that he had some of his own, the man declared that
his reason for refusing to drink with him was be-
cause he had signed the document. Many words
occurred between them, and the man abused com-
plainant so much that he took off his coat and
challenged him to fight, but acting on the advice of
a friend, he put it on again and went away, but
had not proceeded far when the defendant followed
him, knocked him .down with a violent blow in the
eye, and then again and again struck him as he
was rising, and knocked him under a horse's feet.
A boy clearly confirmed every word of this state-
ment with reference to what occurred outside the
house.
Defendant said that complainant challenged any
one to fight, and he went out and they struck one
another.
After some further evidence had been called for
the defendant,
Mr. Arnold took occasion to observe that the
evidence given did not at all relicye defendant from

the charge of assault, He had elca-kly attacked tha
man in a very unfair and cowardly way, and must
pay a penalty of £3, and commitlcd him in default
for a month.

HAMMERSMITH.—Mr. John Kelk, the well-
known builder and contractor of the intended Inter-
national Exhibition of 1862, in South Kensington,
appeared before Mr. Ingham, to answer the com-
plaint of Mr. T. L. Donaldson, district surveyor for
South Kensington, for unlawfully commencing a
building on the north side of the Cromwell-road,
before giving two days' notice thereof, as required
under the 13th section of the Metropolitan Build-
ing Act.
The complainant's case was as follows :—The
building in question was intended to form part of
the Great Exhibition of 1862, as the picture gal-
lery, and was one which required the supervision
of the district surveyor. Under the 6th section of
the act certain buildings were exempted, and it was
contended that this was not one of that descrip•
tion. It was also contended that public buildings
came under the supervision of district surveyors, as
fire-proof staircases, &c., were required.
Mr. Ingham inquired what was done on the for-
mer occasion, when the Great Exhibition was
erected in Hde-park ? He wished to know whether
that building came under the supervision of the dis-
trict surveyor?
Mr. Donaldson could not answer that question.
He said it was built on crown lands, and before
this act was passed.
Mr. Keck said he could answer, No.
Mr. Ingham said that, according to the act, crown
lands were not exempted.
Mr. Donaldson was then sworn, for the purpose
of raising the question. He said that the works
commenced about a week ago for a building 1,200
feet long on the north side of Cromwell-road, for
which he had not received any notice.
The defendant, on being called upon for his
answer, said he had not come prepared to argue the
question in a legal point of view, as there had not
been time to summon the commissioners together
for them to consider what course should be taken.
He attendd for the purpose of asking for a post-
ponement.

Mr. Ingham was ready to grant the application,
and said that it appeared to him there was an omis-
sion in the act, as it never could have been intended
that a building of this nature should come under
the supervision of a district surveyor, but as the act
stood it seemed that it did.

The defendant said he did not wish it go forth to
the world that he had been wanting in courtesy in
not giving the district surveyor notice, and he read
some letters to show that there had been a corre-
spondence between them on the subject.
Mr. Ingham said it was not supposed for a mo-
ment that there had been a want of courtesy on
the part of Mr. Kelk.
The defendant then said if Mr. Donaldson had
waited a week longer the consent of the Metropo-
litan Board of Works would have been obtained.
In certain cases the board had power to take away
the control of district surveyors, and he would men-
tion the instance of his building the new Horticul-
tural Gardens adjoining the inteided Exhibition.
He was contractor for that building, and the board
had authorised him to execute the works without
the supervision of the district surveyor. The Exhi-
bition of 1862 could never take place if it came
under the supervision of the Building Act ; and he
simply attended that day to ask for an adjournment
for the case to be settled in the same way as the
horticultural building.
Mr. Donaldson denied that he had no authority
over the horticultural building, and said he caused
some alterations to be made. What Mr. Kelk re-
ferred to was certain special powers.
Mr. Ingham said the question had better stand
over, and asked what time would suit them.
Mr. Donaldson wished for a short adjournment,
as the building was going on. He said there were
certain things being proceeded with which could
not be allowed. If they went on and were con-
demned defendant would have to pull them down,
and therefore the sooner the question was settled
the better for Mr. Kelk.
Mr. Ingham said that would rest with Mr. Kelk.
The defendant said an opinion had been obtained,
and it was to the effect that the building was lifted
out of the act by the 56th section.
Mr. Ingham suggested that the summons should
be adjourned for the application to the Metropolitan
Board, and recommended the defendant to be care-

ful of his right to proceed with the building, as he
might find after expending a large sum of money
that he would have to pull down the works he had
erected. He cautioned the defendant to be careful
of obtaining the consent of I he Metropolitan Board
for what he did.
The defendant said that unless be obtained the
consent of the Metropolitan Board there would be
no Exhibition of 1862. It would be impossible to
erect it according to the terms of the Building Act.
Lie summonses were adjourned for a fortnight.
