POLICE INTELLIGENCE

HATTON-GARDE NT-(Tuts Day.)
Two fellows in the shape of men, named Hooper
and Cole, the former describing himself as a married
man and a master carpenter, and the latter as a clerk,
residing in Bridgewater7square, Barbican, were brought
up, charged with committing a most unmanly assault
on Mrs. Eliza Price, the wife of Mr. James Price, a
respectable tradesman, residing at No. 50, Little
Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. The defendants were
'also charged with an assault upon Mr. Price, the hus-
band of Eliza.

It appeared from the statement of Mrs. Price, who
is a young and interesting female, that about half-past
nine o'clock, last night, she was returning home with
her husband; when near her door she thought she would
take in some beer for supper, to save her the trouble ofemn-
ing out again. She accordingly went to the public house,
and left her husband waiting outside, at a short dis-
tance. When she came out of the public house, with
a pint of beer in her hand, the two defendants came up
to her, and addressing her very vulgarly, Cole put one
arm round her waist, and with his hand behaved very
rudely to her. (Here by the desire of the Magistrate,
she described particularly the assault.) She screamed
out, and her husband came to her assistance, when he
was most violently attacked by both the defendants,
and struck several severe blows in the face ; at length
the watchman came up, and they were given into his
custody, and carried to the watchhouse.
• Mr. Price, the husband, was called, and he corro-
borated his wife's statement in every particular, adding,
that when he saw her so ruffianly handled he of course
went to her aid and seited Cole by the collar, at the
same time asking him how he dared to insult his Wife?
Whereupon he gave him a Very heavy blOw with his
fist in the face, and Hooper also struck him in the
chest. Mr. Price declared that in all his life he never
saw such a diabolical outrage as was committed on his
wife. •

The defendant Cole said, that the case had been
most shamefully exaggerated as to the assault on Mrs.
Price ; he admitted striking her husband, but not till
he had been struck by him.
Hooper said that lie certainly did strike Mr. Price,
but it was done in his own defence. .

The Magistrate ordered Cola' to find bail upon the
two assaults, and Hooper to find bail for assaulting
Mr. Price.

Both were locked up in default of the required
sureties.
