POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A MAGISTRATE'S DIFF IC uLTT.—Robt. Stewart
an elderly man, who appeared to be very ill, was
charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Elixabeth
Nelson.

The complainant said that she was about leaving
the room she occupied, belonging to the prisoner in
Holles-street, Wardour-street, when the prisoner
came up on the lauding and caught hold of her,
and threw her down stairs, cutting her head.

The prisoner said that he was pushed by the .
complainant against the balusters and hit ribs badly
injured. •

Mr. Knox adjourned the case two or three times,
thinking that the prisoner would have given the
complainant some compensation.
On the case case being renewed Mr. Motum, the
secretary of the Society for the Protection of Women
and children, No. 10, Haymarket, attended to watch
the case.

Mr. Knox asked whether any compensation had
been made to the complainant ?

The prisoner said he was not in a position to
make any.

The complainant said she did not wish to
marry. She wished to have the prisoner pun-
ished.

Mr. Knox said the complainant wished the
prisoner sent to prison, and he considered the
complainant a very unforgiving woman. He
was somewhat in a difficulty what to do
in the matter. The prisoner certainly had
assaulted the complainant, and he had no
doubt, from the evidence, the complainant's story
was true, but then the prisoner had received a con-
tusion of the ribs, and appeared to be very ill, and
it was a hard thing to send a sick man to prison.
However, he had no alternative, and he would there-
fore commit the prisoner for a month, without hard
labour, and if he required it he would required it
he would have medical attendance.

Thursday night, shortly before 12, a young man named
Richard Bishop was given in charge of a constable at
Sydenham for assaulting Alfred Cartwright, a waiter at
the Swiss Cottage Tavern, in that parish. While walking
to the station to prefer the charge Bishop suddenly turned
round, and, with an oath, plunged a large clasp knife into
the right side of Cartwright. The injured man instantly
fell. Medical aid was sought, and the injured man was
