POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A STREET O UTRAGE. —James Ilea, potman at the
Old King's Head, Cumberland-street, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting M. Gunle
Barrere, correspondent to the Monde Illustre, and
residing at No. 1, Everett-street, Russell-square,
and Mr. Donald Mackenzie, of No. 14, Foley-street,
tailor.

Mr. Mackenzie said that on the previous evening
about eight o'clock he was passing through Totten-
ham-street, Fitzroy-square, and while passing
through a crowd of persons assembled there, the
prisoner came up to him and caught hold cf his
coat, and wanted to enter into conversation respect-
ing so me of his relatives. lie told the prisoner to
leave go of him, and that be had no wish to hays
anything to say to him, and the prisoner then gave
him a blow in the eye.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said
the prisoner did not attempt to get at his rockets,
but some persons in the crowd did, and that a
gentleman who kindly came to his assistance was
aleo assaulted by the prisoner.

M. Emile Barriere said that while passing a
crowd in Tottenham-street he saw the prisoner,
who appeared to be very excited, knocking a
drunken man about. The prisoner then seized
hold of Mr. Mackenzie as if to tell him his griev
antes, and on Mr. Mackenzie telling him that he
did not wish to have anything to say to him, he
(prisoner) struck him in the eye, and on going to
Mr. Mackenzie's assistance the prisoner also struck
Mr. Barrere in the eye, and in self-defence he
knocked the prisoner down, and afterwards gave
him into custody.

The only answer the prisoner made to the charge
was that he was not sober, and that some one had
pulled him about.

Mr. Tyrwhilt said it was a magistrate's duty to
mark these assaults in the streets. Tio persona
walking quietly through the 'streets are knocked
about without any reason, and for so doing the
prisoner would have to pay £3 or a month.
