POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Dag.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.—Thomas Johnson, a
rough-looking fellow, was charged before Mr.
Knox with assaults and with intent to rob.
Edward Dayles, a boy, residing At Larnbeth-
walk, said—Between half-past eight and nine
o'clock last night I wa3 walki►ng along Davies-
street, and when passing some railings the prisoner
came up and seized me round the neck and waist,
and pushed me against the railings.
Mr. Knox—Did he make any attempt on your
pocket

Witness—No: I got away and ran, and a con-
stable asked me what was the matter; I told the
constable, who went after the prisoner, and found
him in the act of treating another boy iu a similar
way.

Prisoner—Did 1 attempt to pick your pocket ?

Witness—No.

Prisoner—Don't I live near you and know you ?
Witness--I never saw you before.
Police-constable Alfred Hunt, 166 C, sail last
night, about a quarter to 8, I saw the prisonerloitering
about Davies-street, Oxford-street, and he continued
there for half an hour, and then went down Davies-
mews and looked into a carriage and then came
back to Halwood-gate. I after wards saw the pri-
soner put his left hand up to the witness's (Dayles)
throat, as he (Hunt) was passing the railing, and
tried to throw the witness down, but the witness
got from Mtn and made off. I asked the witness
what was the matter, and on his telling me I went
after the prisoner, and saw him about 80 yards
ahead across Brooke-street. Directly after a boy came
along with a basket, and I saw prisoner go up to the
boy, put his hand into the basket and felt about, and
he then felt the boy about the waist, but the boy
having an apron on the prisoner could not get at
his pockets. I told the prisoner that I should take
him into custody for assaulting the boys and at-
tempting to pick their pockets. The prisoner said,
"You animal, let me go," and struggled vio-
lently and kicked me several times, but with the
assistance of a young man I got him to the
station.

Mr. Knox-1N as the prisoner sober ?
Constable—He was.

Prisoner—No, I was drunk your worship. .1
met the boy and thought he lived near me. I had
no intention of picking pockets.
Constable—He has not been in work for some
time, and calls himself a pugilist, and has been
locked up before.

Mr. Knox—l will have the prisoner's character
well inquired into before I decide the case. If it
turns out to have been the act of a drunken ruffian
I will decide it, but if otherwise the prisoner will go
for trial. Remanded.
