in league with that woman to rob me, and you are
the vagabonds we have to pav for." I said, Is any-
thing the matter ?" He said, " ril let you know to-
morrow," and he walked off. I asked him to go to
the statioe-house to make any complaint he might
have to tneke against me, and he directly struck me
in the neck a blow which staggered me. He cone
tinned to abuse me, and I accordingly charged him
3it the station-house.
In cross examination the witness said he did nut
culler the defendant or shake him, but merely took him
by.the arm after the blow was struck, and that the de-
fendant offeled to go quietly to the station house on
the occasion with a policeman who walked up in plain
clothes, and walked thither accordingly.
A street ginger-beer seller said he was at the corner
of San-street,•in Bishopsgate-street, and he saw the
defendant and another gentleman and the policeman
following them. The defendant said to the police-
man, "If you wish to go to the station-house, you
must take me." The policeman then begged him to
go to the station, and then defendant struck the po-
liceman: IL did not hear the policeman use any
insulting language, neither did he see the policeman
collar the defendant.
Ttie companion of the defendant stated that he saw
the girl, who was an utter stranger to them, walk up
and make n snatch at his friend's watch, and that he
heard the polisc man say, upon being questioned. by
the defendant as to his knowledge of the woman,
" What's that to do with you ?" The defendant then
said, he did not expect to have that answer after
having paid rates and taxes for 15 years. The de-
fendant and I, continued the witness, then walked up
the street, and the policeman followed us. The
defendant said to him " I shall report you," and we
were about to go up Sun-street, when the policeman
caught bold of the defendant by the collar and pulled
and shook hi r, and said " You shall go to the station-
house with me."
Alderman FINNIS—Did the defendant say no more
than you have stated? Witness—He Merely said he
should report him to-morrow.
Alderman FINNIS—Did the defendant strike the
policeman ? Witness—Certainly not. He merely
pushed the policeman aWay.when collared by him.
Alderman FINNIS—Did the witness for the police-
man at the station-house say there that he saw the
defendant strike the policeman with his right hand ?
Witness—l understood him to say. that he sew the de-
fendant strike the policeman on the breast with his
right hand. The charge was given up at the sta.
tion-house, and the defendant was allowed to go, bu
was fetched baCk.
The complainant—Did you not hear the defendant
say that the police were in league with the woman,
and call them vagabonds ? Witness—l did not.
When the ginger-beer man said he saw the defend-
ant strike the policeman on the breast with his right
hand Mr. Dray pulled out his right arm, and showed
that he had no right hand.
The complainant said that the provocation he re-
ceived was very great, and he could not do otherwise
in his own vindication, than insist upon giving the
charge, and the defendant was brought back to the
stqtion in order that the entry might be formally
made in the book.
Alderman FINNI4 said the policeman was by no
means justified in the course he had pursued; that
upon being questioned about the prostitute who had
made the attempt to rob the gentleman the least he
could have done was to have given a civil answer ;
that he had no right to follow the gentleman, as it
was evident he had done; • and that such conduct as
had been described was not at all creditable to a per-
son who was bound to look to the protection of the
public.
The defendant, who appeared to be a very mild
and gentlemanlike person, was then discharged.
Thomas Cyril Alexander David was brought up in

the custody -of Inspector .4i.
having rebbcd his employers, Messrs. Poland and
Co., furriers, of No. 52, Bread-street.
Inspector Mitchell said in consequence of informa-
tion which he had received from an anonymous source,
from which he requested through the press to be fa-
voured with further intelligence, he considered it
necessary to go to the prisoner's lodgings, in St.
Thomas Apostle, on Wednesday. The prisoner, in
his presence, unlocked a box, in which were a new
boa or victorine and a pair of sable cuffs. I asked
the prisoner, said the witness, whose they were, and
he said his sister's, and that she had sent them from
Scotland to him to be cleansed. I was not satisfied
with the statement, and I went to the warehouse of
Messrs. Poland and Co., knowing that he was in their
employment. I told Mr. Poland I considered there
ought to be an investigation into the affair, end I re-
turned with the prisoner to his lodgings for the pur-
pose of brining away the things I had seen. When
he arrived at his lodgings the prisoner ran up stairs
before me and tried to separate the boa from a string
which was attached to but I prevented him. Mr.
Meredith, one of the partners, said the goods were
the property of the firm. and the prisoner said to him
in my presence, "I hope you will not prosecute me."
Mr. Wontner (for the prisoner)—Did he not will-
ingly consent to have his boxes searched ? Inspector
Mitchell—He did.
Mr. G. Smith, warehouseman to Messrs. Poland
and Cu., identified the property produced as part of the
stock of the firm, and said that in taking stock he had
9,361 missed some goods of the kind. The prisoaer was re-
manded.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Eleanor Bennett, a young woman of 25, and who
has been an almost innumerable number of times in
custody for assaults and outrages of the most violent
kind, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged
with threatening to murder Mrs. Isabella Mountford,
schoolmistress of the Bethnal-green Union, under the
following circumstances :
The past life of the prisoner has been one of a
rather strange description. She had been an inmate,
it appeared, for a numbsr of years, of the workhouse
in question, from which she was in the habit, at inter-
vals, of discharging herself, and after remaining ab-
sent for as long a time in each case as she chose, or
as suited her convenience, would then return to
the house and demand to be again admitted. If the
slightest demur was made to this demand she inva-
riably smashed every window within her reach, and
conducted herself in such an outrageous manner as
to inevitably lead to a prosecution, and as this ne
cessarily caused great expense as well as trouble
to the parish officers, but none to the prisoner
herselr her request was but seldom refused.
For offences of this kind she was almost con -
stantly in prison, and whilst there, and for a portion
of each time she was in the workhouse, she conducted
herself with the greatest propriety, but would all of
a sudden take a dislike to any one about her, and,
bursting into a furious fit of rage and revenge, resort
to the most unscrupulous methods of gratifying her
vengeance. Upon one occasion she was secured in
the refractory ward for some gross misconduct, and in
return smashed all its windows out; for this she was
sent to the House of Correction, and on being liber-
atiA and going hack to the workhouse again niiscon-
ducted herself, and on again being locked up in one
of the wards, broke no less, as Rowland, the warrant--
officer, said, than 72 squares of glass. For this also
she was committed, and on being on another occa-
sion sentenced to a term of imprisonment flung a
slipper or shoe at the magistrate, but missed him, and
on a fourth occasion hurled a pltten or clog at the
head of one of the relievins,s-officers with such force
that, had it struck hitn, it must have inflicted a very
serious injury; she fortunately, however, failed in her
ohject, and the clog, missing its aim, struck the parti-
tion at the back of the offiser ith such violszice as
to cause a somewhat deep dint in it. In the present
instance, whilst in the dining-hall, Mrs. MountfJrd
s iw the prisoner standing by the side of the storekeeper,
who was weighing out the dinners fur the paupers,
when she discovered some meat secreted and covered
up with an apron. On asking who hail hidden it
the prisoner told her to mind her own business, and
threatened, if she interfered with her, to cut her head
open with the plate, and do her an injury when she
least expected it. Witness was frightened, and hur-
ried away, but was followed by the prisoner with a
plate in her hand, with which she so threatened to
split open her skull that she ran to her own apartment
and locked herself in. About two hours after she
was passing through the corridor, when she heard
footsteps behind her, and; on turning round, found
the prisoner close to her with an earthenware pan in
her hand, which, after exclaiming that she would
murder her wi .h it if she caught her, she levelled it
at her head with such violence that, had the blow
taken effect, it would most probably have fulfilled the
prisoner's three' ; the witness's screams, however, at-
tracted the notice of one of the officers, who c aught
the prisoner's eras just in time to avert the blow, a‘nil,
after a violent contest, she was secured and locked ue
in a room, preparatory to being placed in custode ;
but, on going to the room shortly afterwards, she
wss discovered almost naked, and the clothing she
had previously worn strewn about the fluor, torn up
into the smallest fragments. The witness besought
the magi Atrate to protect her, a; she felt satisfisd,
from the revengeful feeling the pisoner had shown,
that her life was not safe while she remained at
liberty.

Upon being asked if she wished to say anything, the
prisoner exclaimed,—" Yes! I don't liki the women,
and I am determined to stick a knif: into her, if I
have to wait a whole twelvemonth to do it. Yuu may
do what you like with me, I do not care ; and, as to
