THAMES.

A. KNOCK-DOWN. BLOW.--He4ry George, a tall and
powerful young man, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with ♦iolently assaulting Mr. Andrews, the land-
lord of the Little Wonder public-house, in Cottage-street,
Poplar.

The complainant said the prisoner was in his house on
Saturday evening while a dispute was going on between
witness and a. young man respecting payment for a pot of
beer. The prisoner interfered, and said "you want to best
everybody; I have got something for you and your wife
too," and at the same time struck him a heavy blow on the
mouth with his fist., and knocked him down. He lost one of
his teeth by the blow.

The prisoner attempted a justification of the assault, but
Mr. Yardley fined him 305., which he paid.
ROBBING AN OLD MAN.—Lucy Gordon, alias Bennett,
who has b:en several times in custody, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a bag containing ss.
from an old man named Charles Jones, a baker of Queen's-
terrace, Manchester-road, Millwall.

Henry Smith, a police-constable, No. 310 H, said that
on Saturday night he saw the prisoner running along
Stepney Causeway, and directly afterwards he heard a cry
of " Stop thief." He stopped the prisoner, and said to her,
what have you been doing, Lucy. She replied nothing,
I want to go into the railway arch. He took from her hand
a bag containing ss. ; directly afterwards the prosecutor
came up and said the prisoner had stolen his money.
The old man, who is very deaf, said he was not sober on
Saturday night, and lost his bag and money out of his poc-
ket. The bag now produced by the policeman was hits pro-
perty.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.

Mr. Yardley—This prisoner was here last week for dis.
honesty. . _

Roche (the gaoler of the oourt)—Yes, sir; and she was
also here 18 months ago, and, after several remands, dis-
charged.

Mr. Yardley sentenced the'prisoner to three months' im.
prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction.
