PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Thomas Lane, an Irishman, was charged with stab.
bing another Irishman, named APearthy, with a clasp
kaite.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner and
a number of his countrymen went into the Nag's Head
public-house, in Compton-street, to have some porter. A
quarrel ensued, which ended in a fight.
A witness, named Kingston, saw the prisoner take two
quart pots from the table, fill them with boiling water
from the copper in the tap-room, and throw the scalding
contents over the persons present. He then drew from
his pocket a clasp-knife and stabbed Kingston. After-
wards he stabbed another ma❑ named M'Carthy in the
face and body. M•Carthy was taken to the Middlesex
Hospital, where he was at present lying. The other
man's wounds were of a slighter nature.
Police-constable Redman said the wounds of M'Carthy
were three in number, and of a serious character.

The prisoner said he knew nothing about the aa.
He was remanded until Friday.
William Ahorn, an Irish labourer, was charged with
having kicked out the eye of James Fleming.
The complainant said;that ►he prisoner, who had been
drinking, began to be very quarrelsome in Cambridge-
court, arid offered to fight with anybody and everybody.
Complainant got him into the house where he lodged,
wet the prisoner walked up te?o or three stairs, anti then,
turning suddenly round, aimed a dreadful kick at his
face, which split. his uoJet and drove the eye completely
from the socket. Complainant screamed with agony,
and the defendant was then secured. Complainant was
taken to Middlesex Hospital with his eye hanging on his
cheek. His wounds were dressed, and he was informed
he would most idiely never recover the sight of that eye.
The prisrAier said he was drunk, otherwise ho should
riot have injured the man wbo was doing good to him.
Remanded till Friday.
