POLICE INTELLIGENCE. .
(YESTERDAY.)
UNION-HALL.
William Steed and George Jackson were charged with
exciting a disturbance in the King of Prussia public-house,
John-street, Bermondsey, and the former defendant was far-
ther charged with threatening to stab the complainant.
It appeared that on the preceding day Steed was held to
bail at this Court for assaulting the complainant. The same
night the defendant went to the complainant's house, and,
although under recognizances, was alleged to have assaulted.
Mr. Doran, and also threatened to stab him.
A good deal of conflicting evidence was given ; but the
Magistrate said the case was of such a serious character he
should send it before ajury, and, for that purpose, would adjudge
Steed to enter into his own recognizance of 1001., and find two
sureties of 501. each to answer the charge at the sessions-
The other defendant was discharged.
HAMMERSMITH.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A RESPECTABLE TRADES-
HAN.—This Court was crowded to excess, in consequence of
Mr. Samuel Nash, a respectable master baker, residing at
No. 3, Oak-terrace, Notting-hill, being charged before 11In
T. Paynter, the sitting Magistrate, with having committed a.
criminal assault upon the person of Mary Horn, a young
woman eighteen years of age.
Mr. Duncombe, the solicitor, of Gray's Inn, attended to
defend the prisoner.
Mary Horn, a good-looking young woman, deposed that
she had recently' come up from Brighton, and was e
stranger to London. She was now staying at No. 5,
Clifton-street, Shepherd's Bush. For two or three weeks
she had been living as servant at No. 4, Church- street, Ken-
sington, but had left there on Saturday last. On Monday*
morning last Mrs. Harris, at whose house she was
staying, asked the prisoner if he would call with
his cart for her (witness's) boxes, at the house
in Church-street, which he • agreed to do if she (wit-
ness) would meet him there betwe%:n five and six o'clock that
evening, in case her late master should wish to examine the
boxes before they were removed. She did so, and when the •
boxes were placed in the cart he asked her to get in also,
saying he was going straight home. On tieing so she, how-
ever, found he turned his horse's head towards Loudon. She
asked him if that was the way home, when he said he was
going to leave some bread in Kensington, which he did. Hs
then still went on towards London, upon which she again
said that was not the way home, when he said he was goini
to call at Knightsbridge. He, however, still went on, Ana
on her asking him which was Sloane-street, Knightsbri ,
S
he told her they were then ' at the Regent-circus, Piccadi
dt
and he inquired of a nnsn the way to Holborn, where he
her he had a little la !v business to settle. On reaching
Holborn the prisoner drove under a gateway into a square
with a garden, where she got out of the cart and walked
about by the horse until he returned. She then again, oot
into the cart, thinking the prisoner was going to drive
home, but he stopped at a public-house in Holborn, where
he induced her to go in and parkike of some gin and water.
On comin out the prisoner sa id he ws ing to
of
on a young man close by, and he drove to a street just out 0
Holborn, where he gave the horse and cart to a man to take
care of. She said she would stop rotil he came out, but lie
said she might as well go with him, which she eventually
did. He then took her past two or three houses, when he
turned back, saying he had passed where he was to see the
young man, and took her into a house, the door of which Wes
open, and going straight upstairs into a room where there
was a bed and sofa. On looking round the room, she told the
prisoner she had never before been taken into such a room as
that, and she would not stop there. The prisoner, however,
insisted that she should, and told her to take off her bonnet
or he would, which he did. (The witness then related the
particulars of the prisoner's conduct, which left no doubt that
he had completed his purpose.) She helloed out, but no one
came to her assistance, although`she heard persons going ?
and down stairs. Prisoner called her a d—d fool for metwei
such a noise ; but she told him she was not, as he had ruin
her for life. He said he had not, and that she was a fool.
The witness was then subjected to a most strict and search
ing cross-examination by Mr. Duncombe, who endeavour
to show that she was a consenting party. She, however'
most strongly denied that she had in any way consenten,
although she acknowledged that he had attempted to talo
liberties with her before she got into the cart in Gray's IDE
square ; that he had put his arms . round her waist in 1.1.'"

and that she had been to two public-houses with the Pri-
soner instead of one. It was also dieted from her that 511
went home with him afterwards in the- cart (as she did II!
know her way), and that she told no person of the outrage
until the next morning. She tried to get out of the root'.
and away from the prisoner, but he had locked the dooio
Did not get home with him until half-past nine or red,
o'clock, although they left Church-street between five all

defendant she would tell Mrs. Harris and 'Um Nash (Li
wife) what he had done ; to which he replied, • that he u•'"

Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Hope House, King-street, Wine;
