BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A man named James Heeley, and two women named
Jane and Mary Harrington, were brought before Mr.
Jardine charged with assaulting three officers of the F
division.

It appeared that the prisoners were drinking together
in a public-house in Drury-lane, at about twelve o'clock.
They became very noisy, and a policeman was called in
to put them out. As soon as the officer went in, the
prisoners fell upon him, knocked him down and kicked
him when he was down, and a regular riot took place.
Two other policemen were called in, and the prisoners
fell upon them also; the female prisoners scratched their
faces. After a great deal of noise and confusion, the
officers succeeded in taking the prisoners into custody,
but on the road to the station-house they kicked at the
officers and behaved in the most violent manner.
The prisoners in their defence said the policemen
struck them first, and tore their clothes, and therefore
they felt justified in resisting them.
Mr. JARDINE said these assaults were becoming very
common, and ho should, therefore, sentence the prisoners
to one month's imprisonment each.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY-)
James Thompson, a venerable-looking grey-haired
man, between, sixty-five and seventy years of age, de-
scribed in the police charge-sheet as " A mate of an
Indiaman, living at No. 4. Queen-a tree t, Chelsea," was
charged on suspicion of having
committed the follow-
iag robberies, at the Pantheon Bazaar :
Yesterday afternoon between five and six o'clock, a
female attendant at the counter of Mr. George Sturgis,
heard'a rustling amongst some of the goods displayed
for sale, and on going to the spot found that a tea-caddy
had been displaced, and that the sugar basin (cut glass,
value 55.) bad been taken out of it. At the instant she
perceived the prisoner entering
in a hurried and con-
fused manner a private room, from which there was no
other outlet, she ran and locked the door upon him, until she
could call to her assistance one of the constables of the es-
tablishment, on which the prisoner was
given into custody,
and the stolen sugar-basin was found in a pail of water,
standing in a corner of the room. He was taken to
Vine-street station-house, and in the cell he was con-
fined in were found two plated liquor-flasks, covered with
wicker-work, valued at los., -and which also had been
stolen from the Bazaar yesterday afternoon.
The prisoner said he had been fifty-five years in the
Royal Navy, and his connections were high. His head
was, however, in a very disordcwd state, arising from
domestic afflictions ; his wife 'how on her death-bed.
At intervals he was not aware of what he was doing.
Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said that he had no
doubt but that he should be able to prove that the pri-
soner was a notorious shtiplifter, and had been convicted
of that offence at the Central Criminal Court.—He was
remanded until Saturday next.
A gentleman present said that the prisoner's account
of himself was correct.

CLERKENWELL._(THIS DAY.)
A powerfully built man, named Charles Harding, was
charged with the following outrageous conduct :
It appeared from the evidence, that on the previous
day, the prisoner knocked a man down in Kenton-street,
Brunswick-square. Police-constable Holder, 110 E, at
the instance of the aggrieved party, took him into cus-
tody. When locked up in the cell, the prisoner tore

away a part of the seat, battering the door, which he
broke, and then began to demolish the brickwork, in
which he made considerable progress, when the police
at length prevented him from committing further mis-
chief. The prisoner was fined seven shillings, which
was paid at once.
