fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Harriett Frewnf
Robert Dargue, living in Whitfield-street, Totten'
ham-court-road, and also Police-constable Pan

Morron said that about ten o'clock on Saturday
night he was called to a tobacconist's shop in A‘
hit-
field-street, and informed by the keeper'that the
prisoner had assaulted her, and took him in charge:
After going a short distance the prisoner said tha:i
if he (the constable) did not let go of him he would
knock his - inside out, and tried to kick him i°
a dangerous part, but in consequence of his having
put down his hand for the purpose of protectil
himself he met with no other injury than a piece°
flesh being kicked out of his hand.
Page said that immediately he went to the assist-
ance of the last witness the prisoner gave
blow with his fist on the neck and knocked him
down. Some assistance having arrived, the pri-
soner, who was very violent, was taken to the
station.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether the other rers°ll.:
who had been assaulted were present, and he's"-
informed they were not.

The prisoner hoped the magistrate would -ea
leniently with him, as it was the first time he l
been at the court.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner must be taught
to behave better, and would be committed for see!,
days with hard labour for each of the assaults °'
the constables.
