POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKEN

John Tiobingorn was Charged with having in his pos-
session a quantity of stolen property, and with attempt-
ing to cut the throat of a young woman named 31.‘Evoy.
Police-constable. Baker, 108 E, deposed, that being on
duty in Buckeridge-street, St. Giles s, that morning, he
heard cries of "murder!" and. thg violent screaming of
a woman proceed from a house there he.h4s.tened to the
place whence they_proceeded, a back room in an upper
story. When he •entered the apartment he saw two
women and the prisoner there. The prisoner, on seeing
witness immediately attempted to conceal a lump of
pewter beneath his dress, and to remove a pan which
had been on the fire, and in which were particles of
pewter pots, some of them in a liquid and part in a solid
state. The prosecutrix was screaming, and showed wit-
ness two cuts on her „throat. and pointed out a knife
which lay on the floor, and with which she declared the
prisoner had attempted to cut it. The prisoner imme-
diately rushed upon her, and, before witness could secure
him, struck her two violent blows on the breast and
kicked her.

Mary Anne M'Evoy, aged eighteen, deposed that she
resided in the same house with the prisoner. On that
morning he was beating the woman with whom he
cohabited in a very brutal manner. She interfered,
fearing he would murder her, but the prisoner knocked
her down, kicked her on the side, which was quite
black, and so sore that she could not touch it. Lie then
fastened his teeth in her head, and inflicted a severe
wound upon it. (The girl exposed the wound). She arose
from the ground, and cried out " murder!" upon which
ho seized a knife that lay on the table, and, throwing
one of his arms round. her neck, so as to pull back her
head, drew the knife (which was produced) twice across
her throat—the knife being very blunt did not • cut deep,
and she was endeavouring to withdraw her.--elf from his
grasp when the constable arrived.
The prisoner refused to give any accoent of how he
came by the pewter. The girl, he said, had attempted
to cut her throat, and lie prevented her.
Mr. COMBE said he would send him for two months
to the House of Correction and hard labour, for the
possession of the stolen property. At the termination
Of his imprisonment, the 'proseetitrix must again came
forward, and the prisoner Would then be dealt with for
the attack upon her.
The prcrecutrix, crying, declared she was in danger
of her life from the prisoner's asseciates, who had thrat-
ened to. murder her. ,

.
Mr. CONDE ordered warrants to be issued against the
parties. •
Peter Jowett, a spruce-looking young fellow, was charged
with being riotous, and ringing the bell at the house of Mr.
Bowna, a surgeon, residing at No. 12 Charterhouse-square.
It appearld from the evidence that Mr. Bowna has a pretty
servant-girl, to whom the prisoner has been for some time
paying his addresses. On the previous evening he adjourned
from a public-house to the front of the complainant's resi--
dence, to which he laid siege, very vigorously knocking at
the door and ringing the bell, so as to disturb and alarm all
the inmates, particularly " Mary," who felt quite abashed at
these violent and uncouth demonstrations of the affection of
her admirer. Remanstrance was useless—he must see
" Mary ;" but " Mary" would not see him, so he was formally
introduced to a police-constable, who conducted: him to the
station-house.

The prisoner, whose subdued and sheepish look fully ex,
emplified the words of the. Irish song--
" Love so hot will soon grow cool again,"

declared he was very sorry for wliat had taken place.
Mr. CoMaE fined him IL, or three weeks' imprisonment.
Mr. Etowna—l am authorised by the girl to pay the fine,
whatever it is.

Mr. COMBE—Then let herself come and pay it.
Mr. Jowett was locked up.
BOW-STREET.

Mr. Edward Lacey was summoned before Mr. Jardine
for having opened his house, the Garrick's Head, Bow-
street, for the sale of wines and liquors at five minutes
before one eclock on Good Friday morning.
Inspector Mullins staxcl that he was on duty at five
=lutes to one o'clock on Good Friday morning, at
which time he was passing the Garrick's Head Hotel in
Bowstreet. He went into the coffee-room, and he saw
seven gentlemen there. Liquors and water were on the
table. Mr. Nicholson was present, and he said that the
gentlemen present were members of his establishment,
and belonged to the Jtujge and Jury Society. Witness
was int in the room more than three or four minutes.

Mr. Wire said that the parties who were in the house
were only gentlemen who had been, invited to sup with
Mr. Nicholson on the, occasion of his birth-day. He
then called _ _

Mr. Renton Nicholson, who stated that he was the
manager of Mr. Lacey's establishment. Ile was in the
house when the inspector came in. All the gentlemen
who were in the room were friends, who had been
invited to supper. •No liquor whatever was sold after
twelve o'tJock. , •
Mr. JARDINE-71 think this is an answer, and I shall
therefore dismiss the case.

The summons was dismissed accordingly.
Mr. Rhodes, the landlord of the Coal Hole. in the
Strand, was, summoned for a similar offence, alleged to
have been committed on the same day, at the same hour.
The case was precisely similar to the last. The
inspector heard voices in the house, and he knocked at
the door. It wasimmediately opened, and on going into
the house he discovered three or four gentlemen sitting
in the bar. _ _

Mr. Rhodes, in his defence to-day, called one of these
gentlemen, who stated that the persons whw were at the
bar were gentlemen who lodged in the house.
Summons dismissed.

Mr. Rhodes, brother of the last defendant, the hula ,rd
of the Cider Cellars, in Maiden-lane, was summoned to
answer a similar charge.
The case was precisely similar to the last, as was also
the defence.
Mr. JARDINE at once dismissed the summons.
MARLBOROIiGH-STREET.

James Thompson, a fashionably-dressed young man, who
gave his residence as being at No. 26, Sloane-street, Pimlico,
and described himself as " a gentleman of fortune," was
placed at the bar on the following charge : Miss Rose
31‘Kenzie, a young lady of very interesting appearance, and
whose connections are of very high respectability, stated that
she was residing at No. 66, Jermyn-streot, St. James's.
About half-past eleven -o'clock last night, she hurriedly left
home to fetch a doctor for her sister, who had been suddenly
taken ill, and was, as she believed, in a dying state ; and, as
she was hastily proceeding along Jermyn-street, she met the
defendant, who, as she was passing him, caught her round
the waist in an indecent manner, and sought to detain her ;
but, although greatly frightened and shocked at the instant,
she broke from him by niain force, and ran back as far as
Bury-street, where, haying closely pursued, lie came up with
her, and would, no doubt, again have grossly insulted her,
but that police-constable No. 173, of the C division, came up
at -the instant and protected her.
The constable stated that Miss M'Kenzie was in a very
frightened and exhausted state, and obliged to support her-
self by leaning against the side of one of the houses. The
defendant said lie had made a mistake in the party, and on
his telling him he ought to apologise if he had insulted the
lady, lie said, " What ! I apologise for insulting a beastly
woman ?" and afterwards called the complainant a d—d
nasty, stinking, beastly, common w—, on which he was taken
into custody. . .
The defendant said he was very sorry if he had misbe-
haved himself, but the fact was he supposed lie had taken a
glass of wine too much: •
Mr. MALTBY said his conduct was scandalous and dis-
graceful in the extreme.
He was fined 5/., or one month's imprisonment with hard
labour.—The fine was immediately paid.
The Rev. Thomas llanbury, from Oxfordshire, and a rector
belonging to the-Established Church, was charged with hav-
ing been found at half-past 11 o'clock last night in Bury-
street, St. James's, so beastly drunk that he was quite inca-
pable of taking care of himself; he was, therefore, locked up
in the station-house. The defendant was tined 15s. for being
drunk, whiCh he directly paid and was discharged. This is
his fourth appearance before this Court within the last three
years, on charges of drunken, disorderly, add riotous conduct
in the public streets at midnight, in some instances, accom-
panied with violent assaults. The fines imposed on those
occasions, were 51., 31., and V. which he instantly paid ; he
appears to be about sixty years of age.
MAR YLEBONE.
Henry Date, Robert Billars, and William BlicA, three re-
spectable tradesmen, and Charles Price, an omnibus driver,
were charged with assaulting James Flamanck, a carpenter,
residing at No. 4, Ebury-square, Pimlico, and his friend
Philip Cornish, in the Harcourt Arms public house, Har-
court-street, Paddington.
The complainants said that they had gone into the skittle-
ground, and after playing a few games they offered the man
who had put up the pins 2d., and the prisoners, who were
there, shut the door, and said they ought to pay the man 6d.
They (complainants) got frightened, and went into the par-
lour, and there the assault complained of was committed.
Daw and Price were positively sworn to, but the coin-
plaimmts couldnot identify Billars and Blick as having struck
them—they were, therefore, discharged; and Mr. Rawlinson
ordered the prisoners Daw and Price to find bail for their ap-
pearance at the sessions, if an indictment were preferred
against them, The parties then went outside, but, in a short
time the complainants returned, and said that the prisoners
were willing to give V. to the poor-box, if they (the com-
plainants) forebore ulterior proceedings. With the Magis-
trate'a leave, they would wish the prisoners to be discharged.
On those conditions, Mr. RAWLINSON consented, and the
money was at once paid.
Mary Ann Davis, a lady's-maid, was charged by her late
mistress with having robbed her of a valuable lava brooch, in
a gold setting, and other articles. A duplicate for the above
article was found in the prisoner's possession.
Mrs. Storer, 5, Hyde Park-street, identified the brooch as
her property.
Prisoner—That brooch I bought front a Jew pedlar in the
New-road. He asked ss. for it, and I gave him 2s. 6d. for it-
Mr.. Storer produced a bracelet belonging to the same set,
and the brooch was found to match. They had been got
from Naples, and were very rare.
The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next.
UNION-HALL. - -

William ale. ayoung manwith a scar across his nose was
charged with committing a violent assault on his father the
preceding day.
It appeared the defendant is the son of highly respectable
parents, who some time since furnished him with a situation
on board an Indianian, but his conduct was so bad that he
was dismissed. Since then he has been leading an idle, dis-
solute life, and ashore time ago was committed to the county
gaol for assaulting his father. Yesterday the prisoner was
liberated from gaol, and he immediately commenced knock-
ing at his father's door, and wanted to force his way into the
house, and behaved in such a violent way that it was deemed
necessary to send for a policeman. Enraged at this circum-
stance, the prisoner attacked his father, striking him, and also
a gentleman who interfered for his protection.
The prisoner. in a most impudent manner, contended that
he had a just right to seek shelter under his father's roof, but
this being denied, he was compelled to resort to force fcr the
purpose.
Mr. TRAILL said, the prisoner being of age, he had no claim
upon his father, particularly as he had forfeited it by hia
scandalous conduct. With a view, therefore, to put a stop to
the prisoner's violence, he should find two sureties of 50/.
each to keep the peace, and be imprisoned until such sureties
were fund.
William Smith, a hulking-looking fellow, was charged with
wilfully breaking a pane of plate glass, value 41., in the win-
dow of Messrs.. Gregory and hackman, in the Westminetav
road.
The .p'risoner deliberately took up a stone, and, throwing
it with all his farce against a pane of glass, -exelaimod,
it to be sent to gaol !"
Mr. TEAILL asked the pri3oner why he committed such a
act i deatloyiDg glar4 tolho alaciat of C 14191414
