POLICE REPORTS.

Ouvumat.L.—Yesterday, Edward Field, the driver of one of
Cloud's Hammersmith stages, was charged with assaulting Joseph
George, the conductor and proprietor of one of the omnibuses on the
same road.

George stated that on Sunday week, about eight o'clock in the
evening, his omnibus went into St. Paul's Churchyard and turned
round near the booking-office. The defendant's coach came in just
before him, and be turned round in such a manner that the pole of
his coach was close to the door of the omnibus, and the passengers
were prevented from getting out. lie remonstrated with the de-
fendant, and requested him to draw his horses a little way back.
Field refused, and he then told him that if he would not back his
horses he must do it for him, and laid hold of them for that pur-
pose, on which Field immediately struck him and knocked him
down, and, on his persisting in moving the horses, he struck at him
him again, and attempted to knock him down a second time.
The defendant said the whole dispute arose from the unfair conduct
of the complainant, who, as be came into the churchyard after the
coach, ought to have gone behind it, so as to take his turn in con-
formity with the regulations, but, instead of doing so, be tumid
round before the coach in order that he might the sooner get pas-
sengers, and start again to return to Hammersmith. The omnibus
turned round close to his horses' beads, and be admitted that he
refesed to move, but there was plenty of room In front, and,
if the complainant had drawn a little torwarder he could easily
have let out his passengers. He did not strike him till after
he had twice warned him not to meddle with the hoses, but he
persisted in doing so notwithstanding he had told him he would
knock him down if he touched them. This statement was cor-
roborated by two witnesses ; and George, who had himself called
some of his passengers to prove the manner in which they were
blockaded by the defendant's coach, did not deny that he had turned
round in such a manner that his omnibus would be the first to leave
the churchyard, though it was the last to come into it.
Alderman ANSLEY told the complainant that if he had gone into
his proper place behind the coach the assault would not have oc-
curred, and he should therefore dismiss the charge, but he could, if
he thought proper, indict the defendant at the Sessions.
HATTON OARDEL—Yesterday, Alfred Jones, • journeyman
painter, was charged with robbery. The prisoner was employed to
paint the premises of Miss Harwood, No 8, Gee-street, limner's
Town. A few minutes after his departure, Miss Harwood disco-
vered that the lock of her chest had been broken open, and that a
silver watch and a tortoiseshell box, containing H. 13e. in silver, a
pair of gold ear-rings, a brooch, a gold ring, and several other arti-
cles, had been stolen. The prisoner never returned to finish his
work. Police Constable Nutall apprehended the prisoner, while
he was sleeping in a waggon in Mortimer Market, Tottenham-court.
road. Upon searching him, he found the lid of a tortoiseshell box,
o pair of gold ear-ringv, and a pawnbroker's duplicate of &silver
watch, which had been pledged at the shop of Mr. Archibold, pawn-
broker, the previous day, for 15s. 6d. The prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.

LAIRIETIR-STRlZT.—Yestaday, John Reason, a City watch-
man was charged by a respectably dressed individual, named
Seddon, with an assault. Both parties however were in custody of
the new police, the watchn.an having in the first Instance given the
complainant into custody on suspicion of felony.
lir. HARDWICK directed that the charge should be taken before
the Alderman of Portsoken Ward, that a proper investigation
should be instituted.

Robert Nunn and Richard Platt, two young men in the garb
of sailors, were charged with robbing Thomas Alexantlet of a 101.
note. The brother of Nunn, it appears, keeps a crimping-house,
and the prosecutor having been induced to go and lodge there, by
the number of scouts who are always employed by these persons, to
bring sailors after long voyages to them ; and in paying his bill
displayed three 101. notes, one of which he entrusted o the pri-
soners to get changed. After some time spent unsuccessfully en-
deavouring to procure sovereigns, Ate prosecutor settled the demand
in another manner, forgetting at the moment the 101. note which
he had given the prisoners • he subsequently required a restoration
of it, but the prisoners endeavoured to persuade him that they had
given it back to him, and persisted to the last in their story. One
of the prisoners had been previously tried at the Old Bailey for a
similar offence, and the magistrates thinking the present caw was
one for the investigation of a jury, eonsequently sent them both
for trial.

with attempting to introduce a quart of gin, end the same quantity
of rum into the King's Bench Prison.—Alderman Annex in-

vey them to London, when the defendant seized Mr. Bayky
by the arm, and insisted that he should go into bit best, as
he was the first smiler. Mr. Bayley refused to comply with this
demand, when the defendant told the:two gentlemen they might go
to hell, used the most infamous language towards them, and gave
the complainant a push, After Mr. Bayley and his friend got into
the boat, the defendant bawled after them, and continued to abuse
them until they were out of hearing. Mr. Ballantine convicted the
