POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
- -...-

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF STABBING.—Joseph Smith, a tailor,
living in Little Newport-street, was charged before
Mr. Tyr whitt with stabbing a yonng woman named
Cartiline Adams, living in Charles-street, Drury-
lane.

The Prosecutrix said—Last Saturday night,
shortly after 12, I went with three other females,
and a man, into a fish shop, in Whitcomb-street,
Leicester-square. The prisoner was sitting
there, having some supper, and a friend
of mine, who was pregnant, leant upon
me, and took a piece of the prisoner's fish. Upon
this the prisoner deliberately took up his knife and
stabbed me in the ear. The wound bled a great
deal, and I went to the Charing-cross Hospital and
had it dressed. I put up my hand and it went
against the knife, and was cut. A soldier who was
present went out and brought in a constable, and I
gave the prisoner into custody. In striking me the
earring was knocked out of my ear and I lost it, and
also my muff.

Mr.Tyrwhitt—Are you to go to the hospital ?

Proseeutrix—Yes, when I leave here.

Sergeant John Page, 26 C, said—l was called on
Saturday night to a fish shop in Whitcomb-street
and the prisoner was given into my custoly for
stabbing the prosecutrix. I found the prosecntri%
bleeding from a wound on the left ear, the cartilage
of the ear being severed. The prisoner said it soe
done by accident in defending himself. The pro-
secutrix was quite sober, bat the prisoner was
under the influence of liquor.
The prisoner—l had my knife in my hand, and
in resisting the female taking my fish the proseea"
trix's ear was cut, but it was an accident.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the persons in the shop sal
anything ?
Sergeant Pope—Yes, they said the prisoner
ought to be ashamed of himself for using a knife.
The prisoner called a witness, a tailor named
John Nidd, living in Broad-street, Goldin-square'
who said—While having some fish on Saturday
e
night with the prisoner, the prosecutrix and some °f
her companions came in and sat along with thein•
One of the females took a piece of the prisoner'4
fish, and I could see thit the females were all I:ent
on mischief. The prisoner said the female should
not take his fish, and in preventing her taking
it the prosecutrix's ear was cut. The person!
who kept the shop were always complaining 191
the prosecutrix and her companions, as they alwal°
made a great disturbance.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—The keeper of the shop could
turn the persons out, but there was no reason why
the prosecutrix should have her ear cut. Ido n°t
know the effect of the stab at present, and the pri'
soner will be remanded for a week.

THAMES.
A LECTURE TO THE POLlCE.—William Finn,
young man, was brought before Mr. Paget charge'
with assaulting police-constable 403 K, in the ele'
cution of his duty.
The constable stated that on Saturday night 138
was on duty in the Mile-end-road, and saw and
l
heard a disturbance among some parties who to;
been just turned out of a public-house. He parte'
the combatants and begged the people to go hod
and not make a noise, on which the prisoner, olio
was intoxicated, struck him a severe blow on the
nose and caused it to bleed profusely. He then tool.,
the prisoner into custody.
Another constable confirmed the above state
went.
The prisoner, in defence, said he had been 0
meeting to do a good turn to a friend in distress'
and put a sixpence in the plate when the collecti°,4
took place. He heard a row when he left t'f,
public house, and went to see what was the matte
The police-constable interfered and drove 13100
away, and as he was running from him hit hic, tt
the back with his staff, and being exasperated

his conduct, he did turn round and strike him. ,io
Mr. Paget asked the constable 403 if he took
staff from his pocket ?

Constable—l did, sir.
Mr. Paget—Did you use it ?
Constable—No, sir, I did not.
Mr. Paget, addressing Inspector Rouse of the t,O
division, said, he hal frequently called attentiOeit
the fact that when police-constables drew lie
staves, whether rightly or wrongly, and vlbeta,
they used them or not, they concealed the cis° ri
stance of their having done so. That was sly,
wrong. He expected the truth, the whole trilio
and nothing but the truth from police-constabf
and the suppression of anything, or any part °OO
case, was highly suspicious. The constable ill p.op
case had not said a word about drawing his truucli;
in his original evidence. If it was necessary I°;e,
policeman to draw his truncheon, and if it wag
cessary upon an emergency to use it, he shouldot
so at once in his evidence in chief, and not atte
to deceive a magistrate. All the story ought °co-
told by every witness. Policemen should pat tot
fidence in magistrates, who would always Pr° So
them when right, censure them when wrong.
_A ill
believed the constable was perfectly justiatftil
drawing his staff in the midst of a disorderly
ifoo
violent mob and after he had been struck, atideol'
glad there was no occasion to use it. The Oil IV
ment had thrown suspicion on the whole case. oot
sentenced the prisoner to 21 days' imprison'"
and hard labour.
