POLICE INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
A Mr. Reilly, was charged with an assault on Mr.
Galloway, one of the Stewards of the Westminster Elec-
tors dinner yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
during the scuffle when Mr. Cobbett was trying to ob.
tain a hearing. Mr. Cobbett, with becoming gratitude,
appeared this morning to support his adherent. The de-
fendant waited till past 12 o'clock, but Mr. Galloway did
not appear. On his name, however, being called, it was
stated that' others of the Stewards were present, and a de-
mure looking personage, in a fustian jacket, and white
apron, stepped
forward, saying, his name was Chew,
that he had been one of the stewards at the dinner,
and that he was at present a Westminster elector, and a
baker. He had not made the charge, but had attended by
Mr. Galloway's request to substantiate it. He considered
the harmony of the evening to have been disturbed by Mr.
Cobbett. Here the speaker observing the latter gentleman
exhibiting that brass so essential for a mob orator, and
smiling at the accusation, turned' fiercely round to him,
saying, " Aye, you laugh ; one would think that you
laughed enough yesterday. Are you laughing at the
Magistrate, Sir? I think you had better keep your mouth
shut."
Cobbett.—(With his best bow to Mr. Minshull.)—By
no means.

Chew.—We should have been all quiet enough if you
had'nt been there ; you disturbed us all. We have been
quiet for seventeen years before.
Cobbett—Yes, you have been extremely quiet. But
the criminals never quake till the Judge comes amongst
them. Do you recollect that story ?
Mr. Chew was proceeding to retaliate, when
Mr. MiNsnutt observed, that as no accuser appeared,
the charge against Mr. Reilly must fall to the ground, and
the parties withdrew.
