ATTACK ON THE NEW OMNIBUS.—A man named
George Wilder was brought before Mr. LAING,
charged by Mr. Shillibeer, the Omnibus proprietor.
Mr. W. Wright, who acts ast superintendent of
the Omnibus, deposed that on Sunday afternoon.
about half-past three o'clock, as the Omnibus was
proceeding near St. Pancras New Church, quite
full, having 20 passengers inside, the prisoner hailed
him. Witness informed him there was no room.—
The prisoner then jumped upon the step behind the
coach, and hung on by the door, and used the most
disgusting language, there being several ladies in-
side. He desired the prisoner to get down : he re-
fused, and still hung by the door. Witness then
forced him off, and as soon as he got down he took
up a large stone, and threw it with great violence at
the Omnibus : luckily it escaped entering the window
by a few inches, and went against the panel of the
door, which it broke in. Witness then gave the
prisoner in charge to Ley, the beadie.l
Mr. LAING (to Mr. Shilliber)—What is the
amount of damage done to the coach ? Mr. Shilli-
her replied, he had scarcely had time to inquire, but
the amount of damage done was not so much an
object with him as the punishment of thesnisoner,
us he had acted in so scandalous a manner.
Mr. LAING—Do you think that 31. would pay the
damage done ? Mr. Shillibeer—l think it scarcely
would, as the panel is completely broken, and the
painting of course spoiled.
Mr. LAING (to prisoner)—How do you get your
living ? Prisoner—l go into the country with
pickled salmon and other things.
Mr. LAING—YOU must pay the SUM of 3/. 10s. or
go to prison for two months.
The prisoner was then removed.
Mr. LAING told Mr. Shillibeer, in the event of
the fine being paid, he would be entitled to a part
of it ; he had better call at the office during the two
months, to see if it were paid.
Mr. Shillibeer thanked the Magistrate, but stated
his object was accomplished in punishing the man.
DISTURBANCE AT THE NEW PRISON.—A tall
athletic man, named Fraser, employed as a watch-
man in the New Prison, was charged by the Go-
vernor with an assault and outrageous acts of insub-

ordination.
Mr. Thomas Kilsby, the Governor, stated, that
on Sunday evening the prisoner was very much in-
toxicated, and witness recommended him to go
home. Prisoner became very insolent, and presented
his blunderbuss at witness, fixed the spring bayonet
on it, and defied every one about the place. Wit-
ness endeavoured to wrest the blunderbuss from him,
in which with difficulty he succeeded.
The assault was proved, and Fraser was fined .51.,
and, in default of payment, he was sent for two
months to the prison.
ASSAULT ON THE NEW POLICE.— Williant and
Charles Newman, and a young man named Watson,
were charged by Thomas Comody, constable, No. 1.56,
Division E, with having, in concert with others, at-
tacked him furiously in Turnmill-street. They ac-
costed him as one of the new police—pro-
posed to " bonnet" him, and commenced a fierce
assault.
The charge was proved against the prisoners, and
they were each fined 11., and, in default of payment,
were all sent to prison.
MARLBORO U OH-STREET.

CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—Mr. Gramshaw, a
jeweller, of No. 259, Oxford-street, gave informa-
tion of the following robbery :—Yesterday morning
he received a letter, purporting to come from a per-
son at Chelsea, requesting certain articles of jewel-
lery might be sent. They were made up accord-
ingly, and the lad sent with them. Soon after his
departure, and while witness was alone in the shop,
a man in the garb of a mechanic entered the shop
and asked to look at some gold rings. Witness
showed him a tray full, and while he was examin-
ing them a second man entered, upon which the
first seized a tray of rings worth about 401. and ran
off. The other expressed his surprise at so daring
a robbery, and ran out, apparently to take the thief,
but of course did not return. Witness could not
follow them himself, as he had no one to leave in
charge of the shop.
The applicant was referred to Plank, the officer,
who proceeded to attend to his case.
There were upwards of eighty night charges
heard against persons who were found drunk and
disorderly, and who were fined ss. each.
Ann Townshend, a middle-aged woman, mho
stated that she was a nurse, and lived in George-
street, Foley-place, was charged with the following
robberies :
A shopmau to a linen-drapar in Oxford-street
stated that she took a piece of riband off the counter.
He laid hold of her, and found the riband concealed
about her person.
Andrews, an officer of Marlborough-street, stated
be took charge of the prisoner, and found a great
number of duplicates on her person.
The prisoner declined saying any thing in her
defence, and was committed to Newgate for trial.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Ratlin, a gentleman living
in Oxford-street, came to the office, and stated that
the prisoner had nursed his wife, and while she was
in his service a variety of gold and other trinkets
were missing.
The prisoner was remanded on this charge until
Thursday next.
