POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR RESULT OF A ClsE.—Two ASSAULTS BT A
SOLDlER.,—Charles Stanley, a private in the Oxford Blues,
Albany-street Barracks, Regent's-park, was charged before
Mr. Yardley with assaulting Mr. William Thompson, of
the Black Horse, Haymarket, and also with assaulting a
person named John Warmington, who went to the assistance
of Mr. Thompson.
Warrington was not in attendance, it being stated that
he was too unwell to appear.
Mr. Thompson said—At one this morning I saw the
prisoner drink something from a pewter measure, it having
been served him by my barman. I told the prisoner to
finish it and leave, as I had had enough of him six months
ago, whenhe (prisoner) thrashed him with a stick. At the time
there were others in the prisoner's company, consisting of Life
Guards and Oxford Blues. I refused to serve the prisoner
with any more to drink, when he said, " Why won't you
serve me ? I've got money." I again refised, and the
prisoner spat in my face, and, on my going round the
counter with the intention of putting him out, he seized me
by the throat. Warmington said, "Don't choke the landlord,"
and the prisoner and others got hold of Warrington and
held him across a tub—one of the Life Guardsmen at the
time having his jacket off. I then got out and went for the
police, and gave the prisoner into custody. Warmingtoes
face was dreadfully bruised, and his leg also.
Mr. Yardley—Where is Warmington ?
Mr. Thompson—He is not here, and I think he is too
unwell this morning to attend. He went home with me
after going to the station to enter the charge, and ba iuen
complained of his leg. I gave him some blancly, and he
left to go home.
Prisoner—What the landlord says is not true. The land-
lord struck me first.
Mr. Thompson—l never touched the prisoner.
Lefler, 202 C, said, I was called to Mr. Thompson's
house, and the prisoner was given into my custody for creat-
ing a disturbance, and for assaulting Mr. Thompson. The
place was in great confusion. Warmington was on the floor,
and a person was striking him. I told the prisoner he was
given into custody for assaulting the landlord and creating
a disturbance, and assaulting Warmington.
Mr. Yardley—Did you see him strike the landlord ?
Latler—No, your Worship.
Mr. Yardley—Then why did yox take him into custody.
You did not see him strike the landlord—you did not see
any mark on the landlord—then why did you take him,

The man is wrongfully in custody. He is discharged.
Mr. Thompson—ls that all the protection that I am to
have ? They are the worst class of men we have to deal
with.

Mr. Yardley—l am not going to argue the ease with
you. The man is wrongfully in custody, and he is dis-
charged.
The soldier, who is a tall and very powerful-looking man,
bowed, and left the court evidently pleased at the result of
the case.
