H.kTTON-GARDEN.-(THI. DAY.)

Ak.rander Curtis, a desperate looking fellow, was brought
up to answer to a charge of assault.
From the testimony of a watchman named Longley, it appeared
that between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, the prisoner
was found lying in Exmouth-street, exposed to the danger of being
run over by any passing vehicle. On being roused, he recovered
his feet, and politely asked why he was disturbed? then without
waiting for an answer, struck the complainant two violent blows,
right and left, with the force of which he fell ; and the back of
his head coming in contact with a stone, received cons►derable
injury. A patrol accidently being near, prevented further injury
to the witness, but received some damage himself. The prisoner
was ordered to find bail for the assault, in default of which he
was locked up.
Frederick Smith, an elderly man, was brought before the
Sitting Magistrate.
John Watson, a watchman of Saffron-hill, said, that about one
o'clock this morning he was disturbed, on his beat by cries of
" murder" issuing from a house of an indifferent character in
West .Smithfield. With assistance he entered the house, and
found the prisoner dealing out a succession of heavy blows on the
persons of two very young girls, from whom the screams had
emanated. They begged his protection, and he took the prisoner
into custody, who then commenced a violent attack on him, and
threatened him with the vengeance of the law, as he was a po-
lice-officer, and could not think of being handled by common
watchmen.

In his defence the prisoner said, that he was, a private teacher,
and was not aware of any of the circumstances now placed to his
account.

Mr. Roottun said, that he might have Lad wore gallantry,
though a private teacher, tiu►a to give a pt►blic Infant an pugtliea►
to two young girl*, at one o'clock in the morning, in ouch
neighbourhood. Ilia behaviour had been of the grotwett tleacrip.

James Nuttall, who 'stated himself to have cume frwu 111.in-
&ester about six weeks since, was brought up from the watch-
house, charged as a vagrant.
Thomas Walker, a constable, said, that about eight o'clock last
night, while going along Ebury-street, Pimlico, he saw the pri•
sonar jump into the melt of an unfinished house ; he watched some
time, but finding the prisoner did not come out again, he sent to
the watch-house for assistance, and, on going into the premises,
they found him lying down on some straw.
The prisoner said that he had not a friend in the world, and
Manchester was such a distressed place, that he could not get
employment there. He was committed to the House of Correc-
tion as a rogue and vagabond.
THZ ROUBIRY AT VIZ Bituttswtcx HOTlL.—James Miles,
a chimney-sweep, who has been some time in custody, charged
with another man, not yet apprehended, with a robbery in the
house of the proprietor of the Brunswick Hotel, underwent a final

son into his master's house, between five and six o'clock on the
morning of the 4th instant.
A sweep, named Chandler, who had been charged with the
prisoner, m the robbery, was now admitted au evidence against
him. His staterlent went to prove, that after the prisoner and
another man came out of Mr. Blake's house, with a sack of dust,
as he considered, he carried it home, to Duck-lane, and soon after
discovered that two bundles of wearing apparel, were taken out
of it. The prisoner was fully committed.
Information was given this morning at the above office, that
the garden of Peterborough House, near Parsons Green, had been
tabbed on Monday evening last. The Magistrate ordered the
officer, Warren, who mentioned the circumstance, to use all dili-
gence in apprehending the offenders.

with great trepidation addressed the following words to the
Magistrate—" I am sorry, to come before you, but I am ashamed
to say thatslsterday I was very drunk, for which I believe you
cannot fine me now. If I had been brought before you, drunk
to-day, you might have done so. I met with these two
women, andlike a good-natured fool I treated them to drink,
and showed my puree, which contained IA or 16 sovereigns. I
had hardly done so when they knocked it out of my hands."
