There were plenty of layers and plenty of money for Doe-

was very quiet, a report being prevalent that something was
wrong, but the first offer of 10 to 1 was taken up, and after-
wards Bto 1 was taken. Capo Flyaway and Yorkminster

the first trial, and was proceeding when we went to press.

fraudulent pretences, the sum of £3 15s. Gd. from Frede-
rick Parkinson, with intent to defraud. Although indicted

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT WITH A CATAPULT.—COTIIeIiIIS
Reardon, an Irish plasterer, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Thomas Bunt, 133 E, on the
head with a catapult, and also assaulting William Perry,
142 E.
Inspector Garforth, E division, handed in the following
certificate :
" I certify that I attended Thomas Bunt, who had an in-
cised wound on the right temple, which required to be
stitched, two wounds on the left side of the face, three punc-
tured wounds, &c. He is unable to attend to duty.
ROBERT S. JONES (for J. Weekes),

Divisional Surgeon.

Bunt, whose head was all but a part of his face enveloped
in surgical bandages, said he was in Fitzroy-court, Totten-
ham-court-road, the previous night. The prisoner was
making a great disturbance and ho requested him to move,
when he struck him several times about the head with a
catapult, some of the blows being much sharper than others.
He got him (prisoner) on the ground till assistance came,
and he (witness) was then taken to the station and attended
by Mr. Jones, but was unable to do duty at present. (The
poor fellow seemed to suffer a good deal.)
Wm. Perry, 142 E, proved going to the assistance of
Bunt, and found him smothered in blood. The prisoner
was very violent. The prisoner appeared quite sober, and
the constable was holding the prisoner down.
Inspector Garforth said he saw Bunt's face bleeding and
on examining his left ear he found there were some punc-
tured wounds, and there were several other punctured
wounds. Shortly after the prisoner was brought in he
asked the constable to describe Ni hat it was done with, and
the constable said• it was a piece of iron like a razor, and
the prisoner said it was "only a penny toy;" the charge was
then taken and the prisoner locked up. He wished for a
remand to see how the constable would get on.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner until
Thursday.
