POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A young man of respectable exterior, named Elwyn, in the em-
ploy of Mr. Brown, cheesemonger, of Grafton-street, Soho, was
charged with being drunk, and endangering the life of William
Botherway.
William Botherway, the complainant, stated that about a quar-
ter before twelve last night he was standing with his cab on the
stand in front of the Horse Guards, when the prisoner, who was
coming along in a gig, drove his horse against him, by which he
was knocked down, and the wheels of the gig passed over his aide
and right temple.
The waterinan of the stand c aroborated the testimony of the
complainant, and added that the prisoner was driving at a furious
rate, and was drunk at the time.
Police constable, A 22, took the prisoner into custody, and states'
that he was drunk.
The prisoner, in defence, denied that he was intoxicated, end
said that he was not driving at more than seven or eight miles an
hour, and that in fact the horse he was driving would not go at A
better pace than that. The occurrence was purely accidental.
Mr. TWYFORD—No, there does not appear to have been any Wll
fulness, but there must have been a great deal qt negligence. I
propose to adjourn this case.

Mr. Brown, the prisoner's master, then stepped into the boS.
and confirmed that part of the prisoner's statement relative to the
horse; he said that he did not believe that the horse could be
made to go faster than seven or eight miles an hour; and, more.
over, that the prisener was quite sober when he bailed him out,
which was as soon as he received intimation of his being in ct!stedY
Mr. Twvronn announced his intention of adjourning the We

making their escape. Before the defendants were taken in°
custody, witness cautioned them to desist and go quietly 01'
but instead of doing so, one of them called out, " You be d---a•
We are only doing as our friend the Marquis of Waterford does', •
and if we like we'll wrench the knockers off every doer in the street'

and you can't help it."
The defendants admitted they were rather " merry," but thought
the police had no right to interfere and lock them up.
They were ordered to pay a fine of 40s. each, or in default t°
be imprisoned to hard labour for one month. Hammond directll
paid his fine, but Hill, after feeling in vain in his pockets, declatted '

UNION-HALL-(THIS DAY.)
A jolly-looking Jack T ar, a namesake of the Scotch hero, Willie°
Wallace, was charged with creating a riot, and breaking a pollee'
man's hat.
The policeman said that he was on duty in Tooley-street, last
night, about a quarter past twelve, when he saw a number of eadoll
creating a disturbance at the door of the Shipwright's Arms public'
house, corner of Tooley.street and Bermondsey-street; he went up
to them and requested them to move away, when the prisoner slid:
" Never mind the b—y policeman, it would take twenty 10"
coves to take him ;", and on being told not to create a riot in the
street, the prisoner struck him, and knocked his hat off, which
was torn to shreds when he got possession of it; after a severe
struggle he succeeded in taking him to the station-house.
Jack said he had been drinking, and was extremely sorry for
what had happened. He hoped, however, the Magistrate WOOI
d
look over the offence, as he was to sail to-morrow.
Mr. CorriNmum said he should not be severe 4ith him, as there
was no doubt he was not aware what he was *out, for sailor,"

He should caution him not to interfere with the police in the CO'
cution of their duty again, and call on him to pay a fine of 10A.
