POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

DRUNK AND D ISORDE RLT.—JOhn Brown, a
carman in the employ of Mr. Jessop, a market
gardener, at Chiswick, was charged before Mr.
Knox with being drunk and incapable of taking
care of his horses and van, and also with damaging
a street lamp and the door of the Marlborough
Mews Police-cell.

Police-constable Arthur Cantle, 196 C, said
that yesterday afternoon in consequence of a gentle
man complaining that the prisoner was drunk and
incapable of taking care of his horses and van, he
went to Mount-street and found the prisoner, who
was very drunk. He ran against a lamp-post and
greatly damaged it. He then took the prisoner to
the station.

Mr. Lewis (of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, of
Marsham-street, the contractors for the street lamps
of the parish) said that damage had been done to
the amount of 355.

The prisoner said he had been drinking but was
not drunk.

Police-constable Edward Sharvill, 50 C, said that
after the prisoner bad been locked up some time in
the cell he (Sharvill) found in the passage a piece
of wood cut off the cell door, and on asking the
prisoner whether he had a knife he denied it, but a
knife was found upon him.
Mr. Owen Lewis, carpenter, of No. 6, Argyle-
street, said that the damage done to the cell door was
about 18s.

Sergeant Smith, acting inspector at the Marl-
borough Mews station, said that the prisoner was
very drunk when brought to the station.

The prisoner was ordered to pay the damage and
fines, altogether amounting to £3, or to be com-
mitted for six weeks in default.

WESTMINSTER.

VIOLENT ASSAULT WITH A HAMMER.—J. Thrris
a respectable-looking man, was charged with as-
saulting James Barry, by striking him on the head
with a hammer.

Eliza llarris said the prisoner was her son-in-law,
and the injured man, who was in the hospital, \v.:3
her son. This morning, about a quarter to 2, the
prisoner came to her house and asked for her son,
who asked him why he knocked at the door instead
of being at his coffee-stall, at Hyde-park-corner.
Prisoner made no reply, and they fought together ;
Harris had a hammer, and Barry a stick, and Harris
hit Barry several times with the hammer on the ribs
and on the head. Barry did not strike the pri-
soner; he tried to. (The witness here became con-
fused, and all that could be elicited was that pri-
soner was drunk, and she did not want to hurt him.)

Alfred James Smith, a railway porter, was the
next witness, but his version of the affair was very
confused and not apparently truthful. He corro-
borated the last witness, and after saying the pro-
secutor knocked prisoner down, he said he had made
a mistake, it was the prisoner knocked prosecutor
down.

Cross-examined—The prisoner came back twice ;
I think the prisoner kicked him, but won't be sure.
George Barnewell corroborated.
Prisoner's account was very different ; he said

that at 2 o'clock he was at home instead of at the
coffee-stall, and somebody knocked at his door.
Suspecting his wife was unfaithful, he followed the
person and found it was Barry. He went and
searched for him, and then returned to fetch a ham-
mer to smash open the door. He did so, and Barry
fetched a poker ; they fought. He never struck
Barry on the head with the hammer. The wound
was got in the falls.

Sergeant Matthews, 12 B, and Powley 228 B,
proved the prisoner was sober. He had been in the
police and a guard on the Brighton line.
Remanded for a week, bail in £2O being required.
