LAW AND POLICE.

At the Ipswich assizes two of the, persons tried for arson
were tried on the 24th, and found guilty. The sentence on
one was deferred, and the other was ordered to be transported
for 15 years.
The Exeter Assizes commenced on the 34th. There are
twenty-two cases entered for trial, of which live are special
juries. The calendar contains the names of fifty-eight pri-
soners; among• whom two are for cutting and wounding,
one for murder, one for manslaughter, one for horse-stealing►
one for bigamy, and eight for the crime of arson ; the rest
are, for the most part, accused of larcenies and other isuch
offences.

At Lambeth-street, Mr. Henry was engaged for some time
in investigating a charge of a very serious and important
nature, as respects the police force and the public, preferred
against two constables belonging to the K. division of police,
named George Hailes, 54 K, and Edward Hawley, 209 K, for
a violation of their duty in lawfully withholding certain
moneys allowed for expenses to three witnesses in a case of
felony tried at the Middlesex Sessions on Monday week-
After a lengthened inquiry, Hailes was committed to prison
for one month, and the other was discharged.
George Gator, a policeman of the F division, No. 23, ap-
peared at Bow-street to receive judgment for the charge of
assault preferred against him by the wife of Mr. Hogg,
hosier, 73, Fleet-street, and which was fully detailed in The
Sun of Wednesday last. Mr. Twyford considered the de-
fendant had been guilty of a gross breach of duty, and had
acted in a manner so as to render it impossible to pass a light
sentence on him. He fined him 31., or in default to be com-
mitted to the House of Correction for twenty-one days. The
defendant paid the fine, and was immediately discharged.
At Marlborough-street, Otto Feder, a young and rather
good-looking German, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick
for having beaten Edward Wills, an Englishman, about his
own age. The encounter occurred at Miss F. H. Belly's
theatre, in Dean-street, on the 16th of this month. After
hearing the complainant by counsel, the defendant, and Miss
Kelly, who addressed the Court in a fluent speech, Mr. Hard-
wick said, with respect to the charge, &had been proved that
the complainant had used insinuations in the first instances
and had applied the term " liar "to the defendant. Being
of opinion that a sufficient justification of the alleged assault
had been shown, he should dismiss the summons.
