MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THISDAY.)
OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.--Emilie
I?08hay was charged before Mr. Bingham with creating
a disturbance at 24, King's-place, St. James's, and as-
saulting police-constable 114 C.
The constable, whose face was severely contused,
stated that this morning about two o'clock he was called
to No. 24, King's-place to take charge of the prisoner
for creating a disturbance there and refusing to leave the
Place. On seeing the prisoner, who was rather the
worse for liquor, witness requested him to go away
peaceably. He refused to do so, and rushing upon
witness, seized him by the throat and threw him
dove. Whilst he was lying on the pavement
1„4.1e prisoner struck him on the face, and kicked
blur with much force about the body. By great exer-
tions complainant contrived to get on his feet, and
!Prang his rattle for assistance. The prisoner then seized
Ann by the left hand with his mouth, and bit his fore-
finger completely through. Witness was becoming nearly
exhausted, when another constable came to his aid, and
th• prisoner was conveyed to the station.
The prisoner, in defence, said the constable was the
first -aggressor, and as he was much hurt, he thought,
being a foreigner, he had a right to defend himself.
Mr. BINGHAM told the prisoner he was mistaken in
that idea, and committed him for a month.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A ruffianly-looking fellow, named James Cane, re-
aiding in Peter-street, Cow-cross, was placed before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, charged with a brutal assault upon his wife.

husbandpp came home drunk this morning about two
o'clock, and dragged her out of bed, and then kicked
end struck her violently on the head and other parts of
the body. She rushed down stairs, crying out 4' Mur-
der," and several persons, seeing her covered with blood,
rim to her assistance, and the husband was given into
custody, and she was taken to Bartholomew's Hospital,
where :severe wound, which had been inflicted on her
head, was promptly dressed.
The prisoner said he had been aggravated by his wife
uting foul names, and would not have committed the
assault if she had not struck him first.
The prosecutrix denied that she had struck him, and
said as he was continually in the habit of ill-using her
she wished to separate from him altogether. He did
not contribute a farthing to her support, and though she
Was compelled to get her own living, he treated her most
cruelly, and seldom ever came home till one o'clock in
%I morning, and then generally in a drunken state.
The prisoner admitted that he did not support his
rife, but said he had been troubled with a bad leg, and
ad been out of employment for some time.
Mr. TTRWIUTT said the assault was a very cruel one,
and be should order the prisoner to pay 405., or be im-
Prisoned for six weeks.
The prisoner, who seemed extremely dissatisfied at the
oecision was then removed.
