POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TlllB DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—UNPROVOKED AND
BRUTAL ASSAULT.—John Sullivan, a labourer, was
charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr.
Perry, a painter, residing in Bird-street, Marylc-
bone.

The complainant said he was at work ye3terday,
with others, at St. George's Barracks, when with-
out any provocation the prisoner's brother (who
as well as the prisoner was also at work at the job)
threw a pail of lime wash cver him, nearly blinding
him, and then struck him. Directly afterwards the
prisoner came up and said, " Stand aside and let
me get at him," and then struck him a violent blow
on the nose, causing it to bleed profusely.
Mr. Knox asked the complainant w.hether it was
anything of a trade affair.

The complainant said it was not, but that he had
heard a good deal about fighting going on during
the day.

Walter Tacey, another workman, corroborated
the complainant, and sail that the assault was a
most unprovoked one, and that he considered the
complainant had had a fortunate escape from being
blinded.

Mr. Knox said it was a most brutal assault, and
he should commit the prisoner for two months with
hard labour, and he would grant a warrant for the
apprehension of the prisoner's brother.
A MASTER CARMAN FINED FOR CRUELTY TO A
HORSE.—Mr. Edward Skeggs, a master carman,
of No. 38, Watling-street, City, and Charles
Roberts, a carman in his employ, appeared before
Mr. Knox, the former to answer the complaint of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals of causing a horse to be tortured by hav-
ing it worked while in an unfit state, and the latter
to answer a charge of having worked it.
Sell, an officer of the;above society, saw Roberts
driving a horse attached to a van in Regent-street,
the van being laden with iron goods. The horse
was very old and lame, and had several sores about
it. It fell down exhausted, and on the officer exa-
mining it he found that a piece of skin had been
placed over one of the sores so as to screen it from
observation. On the officer asking Roberts
how he came to bring out the horse, he said
that his master knew the condition of the horse.
When the case was before the Court on the last
occasion, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded Roberts, and
ordered the owner of the horse to be summoned,
and on the case being renewed, Sell informed Mr.
Knox that the horse had since the adjournment been
destroyed.

Mr. Knox, after making some strong remarks on
the case, fined Skeggs 40s. and costs, or a month,
and Roberta 10s. and costs, or 14 days.

VIA NIES.

MODERN ASTROLOGY.--A poor Irish woman came
before Mr. Benson to complain of an astrologer in
the vicinity of the London Hospital, who she said
had annoyed her night and day, sleeping and
waking, for a long time past.
Mr. Benson—What has he done ?

Applicant—He has shut me up in his glass, in
which other people can see other people both night
and day. In answer to further questions, the
woman said the astrologer could see her all the way
from the London Hospital to Wrapping, where she

The woman,
instead of answering this question,
said, "I am a widow. I live by my needle."

Mr. Benson asked the woman if she could ac-

ner he had done ?

Applicant—l don't kn3w., sir.; he keeps me on

Mr. Benson was surprised that any married
woman could place credence in the casting of nati-
vides, horoscopes, and astrology. 'The applicant
ought to be above such nonsense, such rubbish.
Applicant—lt is nit tall nonsense. It really is

Mr. Benson—if

astrologer ?

Applicant—No, 86; lie has power over me all

Mr. Benson —Then I am afraid if I interfere
with him he will have power over me and rule me
with his rod. (Laughter.)
Applicant—tie has no power over magistrates.
Mr. Benson—I am very glad of that. (Loud
laughter.) Have yott any priest who will advise

Applicant—.yes,

Mr. Benson—i

The applicant slowly retired from the court.
