MARLERV-STREET7-(THIS DAY

AS%AULT BY A BEGGAR.—John Tucker, a sturdy va-
grant, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with
begging of and assaulting Mr. Thomas Baskerville, a
carrier belonging to the London and North-Western
Railway.
It appeared from the evidence of the constable E 84,
that this morning, about two o'clock, ho was on duty
near Percy-stye ec, Tottenham Court-road, when his at-
tention was called to the prisoner, who was soliciting
alms of the prosecutor, who, after a deal of pressing,
gave the prisoner a penny and told him to be otl•. The
prisoner said " That be d—d, this is not half enough."
He then laid hold of the prosecutor, and, before the wit-
ness could prevent it, threw him (the prosecutor) to the
ground, at the same time saying " That is a Devonshire
throw, and no mistake." Witness then collared him,
and, after a deal of resistance, conveyed him to the
station-house. Witness added that, owing to the press
of business, the prosecutor was unable to attend.
Mr. HABDWICK said the case was of so gross a na-
ture that he should remand the prisoner till Friday next,
and directed a summons to be issued to compel the pro-
secutor to appear.
