POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(71115 DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A MEDICAL STUDENT IN FEMALE ATTIRE.—Horace
Jones, a medical student, residing at 29, High-street,
Islington, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being
dressed in female attire in Coventry-street, supposed for an
unlawful purpose, and being drunk.
The defendant's peculiar appearance in the dock caused
considerable merriment in the court, particularly so when
he raised a portion of the veil with which his face was
covered.

Ephraim Lord, 328 A, said-he saw the defendant at two
that morning in Coventry-street, dressed as he then ap-
peared in female attire, with a large crowd of persons fol-
lowing him, and as he was causing a large number of per-
sons to collect and a great disturbance he took him into
custody. He was intoxicated at the time.

Defendant said when the constable stopped him he was
on his way home.
Mr. Beadon asked the defendant what business he had
in the street in that attire, which was so likely to create a
disturbance.

Fined 408. or a month's imprisonment.
The defendant, who seemed ill at ease while the classics'
being heard, then left the dock, first lowering his veil.
STREET NEWS BOYS.—Thomas Collins, one of a num-
ber of boys who sell newspapers in the Regent Circus was
charged with annoying persons by running after them, and
thrusting newspapers in their faces.

A constable proved the case, and said there was an in-
habitant of the circus in attendance who complained that,
owing to the annoyance of the boys pelting one another
they could not carry on business.

Mr. Beadon cautioned him, and said if any boy was
brought there again and the case proved he would fine him.
40s.—Discharged.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—WiIIiam Orgill, a ferocious
looking fellow, about 40 years of age, who has been twice
convicted of savage assaults, was brought before Mr.
Selfe charged with assaulting and wounding Daniel Cluny,
an Irish labourer.

It appeared from the statement of Cluny, who is a hard-
working and steady man, that he was passing the house of
the prisoner in Elizabeth-street, Poplar, and said to him,
jestingly, " How about the summons," a summons which a
woman had taken against the prisoner for striking her. The
prisoner called to a loose woman, with whom he cohabits,
for a poker, and struck Cluny with it on the head and
felled him to the ground. The man received a very severe
wound, from which he bled profusely.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, in cross-examination of the com-
plainant, elicited from him that he gave more provocation
than was admitted in his evidence in chief.
_ _ _

Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a savage and ill-condi-
tioned fellow, and fined him £3, in default of payment,
three weeks' imprisonment,
It was here stated that there was another charge of
assault against the prisoner.
Mr. Selfe—Then I will suspend my jugdment.
Elizabeth May, said she was an unfortunate woman, and
lived at 34, Elizabeth-place, the prisoner kept a brothel at
No. 3in the same street. Last Saturday she heard a great
row in the house of the prisoner, and went there to see what
was the matter. The prisoner was throwing clean water
out of a butt upon his landlady and used most dreadful
language. She remonstrated with the prisoner, who turned
round upon her and gave utterance to the most infamous
threats, and then struck her a violent blow on the eye with.
his fist and knocked her down.

Several witnesses corroborated the evidence of the com-
plainant, whose eye was blackened.

Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a most infamous and
savage fellow. This was not the first time the prisoner had
been charged with assaulting ivomen. lie sentenced him
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour for th•
absault on Elizabeth May, and remitted the punishment in
the first case. •
