LAW AND POLICE.

The trials for arson at Ipswich terminated on the 29th.
There were 21 cases for trial, in which 28 persons were charged
with the crime, and of these 15 were convicted, 12 acquitted,
and one turned Queen's evidence.

At Guildhall,—Michael Magnier, a City policeman, No.
368, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hunter, by order of
the Police Commissioner, charged with entering a house on
his beat in the night time, and attempting to commit an as-
sault upon a girl aged 18. After the girl had given her evi-
dence, which left no doubt of the prisoner's intention, he was
remanded, at his own request, till he had legal assistance.
Wm. Irish, George Everard, James Everard, John Rut-
land, and Richard Wm. Reeves, were brought up at Bow-
street, charged with having violently assaulted Henry May-
nard, on the morning of Friday, the 26th of July. The as-
saults complained of arose out of disputes between the Wa-
termen's Company and the Free Watermen's Company, which
are detailed in the police report. Mr. Twyford bound each
of the defendants in their own recognizances of 201., and or-
dered them to find two sureties each for 101., to answer the
charge at the next Westminster sessions. Two persons imme-
diately became bail for them, and they were discharged.
At Marylebone Mrs. Mary Levy and Miss Mary Levy, her
daughter, were charged with ringing the bell at the house of
Mr. Bower, solicitor, Welbeck-street, without any lawful
excuse for so doing. Mr. Bower's evidence went to show
that on the 2d of May last, he opposed Mr. Levy, the hus-
band of the elder defendant, under the Bankrupt Act, upon
his applying for his discharge, and since then he bad been
continually annoyed by a violent knocking and ringing at
the door, and on the said door being opened, there was no
one actually at the spot, but the defendants, who had been
seen walking to and fro, were a short distance off. The de-
fendants were fined 20s. each, and cautioned with regard to
annoying Mr. Bower again.
A man of the name of Cole was charged at Worship-street
with cutting and maiming with intent to kill, Mr. Joseph
Gill, the landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in
Old-street-road, and fully committed for trial.
