MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.

ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY A LICENSED VIC-
TUALLER. —Mr. Win. Davis, a licensed victualler residing
at No. 9, Old-street-road, was brought before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with assaulting the police while in the
executi,,n of their duty.
Johncock, A 304, stated that about half-past ten last
night he was en duty in the Haymatket, when he saw
'four prostitutes in convi rsation together. He crossed
ever the toad and suit them away. Just as they left
the prisoner, who he bad net seen heore, came up to
him an I struck him a viulent blow on his chest, and
knocked him backwards some three or four yards. The
prisoner then tad, What do you mean by insulting
• my wife? "and before witness could reply the defendant
struck him again several times. At this juncture
another constable cams to his assistance, and, after a
severe struggle, the defendant was lodged in the station.
Ob:y, A 299, said he saw the last witness straggling
With the prisoner, and on asking what it was all about
~the detendant instantly struck him on the breast and
knocked him against the shutters. After the prisoner
was secured he threatened to mark witness, and give
him such a muzzling as he never had in his life, and
that he should just like to have a five minutes' turn with
kiln or any other constable. The defendant was exceed-
ingly violent when at the police-station.
Mr. Dancombe, who appeared for the defendant,cross•
*Xamined the constables at some length, but elicited
Authing to shake their evideece in the least. The Learned
Geetleumn, on behalf of his client, said that last night
he (defendant) had been to the Haymarket Theatre with
Lis w!fe, and as they were on their way home, defendant
had occasion to leave her for a few seconds, and on his
return ho was informed that she had been grossly in•
suited by the first witness. The defendant naturally felt
inch annoyed at thiS, and on going up and expostulating
With the constable, the latter took him into custody and
dragged him to the station like a felon. He (Mr. Dun-
eombe) was extremely sorry that Mrs. Davis was not
able to attend and ex-plain the matter further, but if the
ease was adjourned to a future day he had no doubt she
Would he iu attendance.
The constables stoutly denied speaking to the de-
fendant's wife at all.
.Mr; HARDWICK was of opinion that the charge ought
to be further investigated, and directed the defendant
to into his own le3ognizances to appear this
%my ek.

.Santuel Horsley, driver of the cab No. 1,775, with the
adge No. 1,828, appeared on a summons before Mr.
9'rwhit-, charged under the New Metropolitan Car-
nage Act, with leaving his cab at night on the stand

Stafford, A 431, stated that, on the morning
ur, Thursday last, at half-past one, being on duty in
,6`4t___oBwell-street, he observed an elderly respectable female
v'uLL ding at the corner of Old-street and calling for a

'r, TY/tWHITT considered the case proved. It was
t 1,;4° 'prectice of men like the defendant to keep out of the
4:t of respectable people who want cabs at that time of

rt.ons of whom they cen take advantage. Thus the
i3l:ectable portion of the public was put to considerable
