CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.).

Daniel Cooper, a cabman, badge 8,307, was charged With
being drunk, and with violently assaulting policeman 233 G.
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night
the prisoner was most disorderly and quarrelsome. The
constable interfered, and the prisoner attacked him in a
savage manner, biting his hand, and striving to twist his arm
out of the socket.

Mr. GREENWOOD said such a man was utterly unfit to be a
cabman. He would sentence him to ten days' imprisonment
and suspend his license for 21 days.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths for the week ending March 29 was 1,188, ex-
ceeding the average of five winters by 51, and 9 less
than on the previous week. We regret to find that the
violent deaths are more numerous than on :41y previous
occasion, amounting to 50, and of these not fewer than
25 had been caused by burns and scalds. With four ex-
ceptions the sufferers were helpless children, many of
them under four years of age, and several still younger,
showing the reckh'ss carelessness of their mothers.
There aro 7 from falls, 8 suicides, and 1 execution.
Deaths from diseases of the lungs are on the decrease,
but those from bronchitis and pneumonia are still con-
siderably above the average. The deaths from small-
pox (32) occurred at the following ages:—Six under 1
year; eight, 1-3; five, 3-5; six, 5-10; three, 10-15;
one, 17; one, 24; one, 45; and one, 51 years.
