POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Yoexc r. Wm-mos.—Mrs. Ann Willings, and Miss Sophia Wil-
lings, her daughter, were charged with having assaulted• Miss Louisa
Young. Mr-. Willings and her daughter are of " the unto gude ;"
and Miss Young is little better than one of the wicked. Miss
Young deposed that she lived next door to Airs. Willings, and she
never went to the door, or sat reading at her window, that Mrs.
Willings or her daughter did not abuse her ; and upon one occasion
Miss Willing* cuffed her ears, merely because she threatened to take
her before a Magistrate, unless she desisted from abusing her.
Mrs. Willing began her defence by informing his Worship that
Miss Young was a common girl of the town—
" Oh ! how can you say so, you cruel Mrs. Willings !" exclaimed
Miss Young, bursting into tears. " Your Worshipi- A have the mis-
fortune to live under the protection of a Gentleman, it is true; and
because of this, they are always calling me that ugly name she has
mentioned, and setting the boys to hoot after me, though I never

did any such thing !"
Mrs. Willings. admitted that she" could not abear to live in the
neighbourhood of any sich ;" and Miss Young's Landlady having
proved the assault, Mrs. and Miss Willings were held to bail.
WHITMORE v. BUIVION AND Acorns.—Messrs. Burton and White
were charged with having assaulted one John Whitmore—a poor
old man, who having been blown up into the air some half-dozen
times as an operative gunpowder-maker, is at last settled down into
a sweeper of a crossing in the Strand, and a grower of brown ter-
rier puppies. The defendants are heavers of coal—a pair of fine,
brawny, woolly-headed, fan-tailed, shallow-topped, beer-swallowing
blusterers; anil old Jack Whitmore—or Goopentekr Jerk, as his
friends call him—complained that, as he was carrying a basket of
his brown terrier puppies, one of the defendants held him by the
collar, whilst the other bit his puppies' tails off ! •
The brutes contented themselves with giving a laughing denial to
the fact, and the Magistrates held them to bail.
Moses v. O'TOOLE AND ANOTHERIVIT. Thomas O'Toole (no rela-
tion to Dr. O'Toole, of Covent-garden Theatre) and ,Mr. Barney
alf4F/intt were charged with an assault upon Mr. Abraham Moses.
Mr. Thomas O'Toole and Mr. Barney AP Flinn are deputy brick-
layers, at present engaged in repairing a house in Catherine-street.
Mr. Abraham Moses is a peripatetic dealer in shabby genteekries,
vulgarly in old clothesman. Yesterday morning he was parsing the
place where the defendants were at wadi, when Mr. Thomas,
irloole called after him, " Muslia, Mr. Srtiouch ! and what would
you give us for a second-hand brickbat, little the worse for wear ?"
—" Or a mortar-hod, with the nap rather turned ?" added Mr.
Barney M‘Flinn. liow long is it since you were at Vltiegat-
hill ?" said Mr. Abraham MOSES, in reply; and thereupon they both
seized him, and almost strangled him.
Before the Magistrate they denied the assault—" There was no-
thing at all to assault about," they said, " for the Jew had given
them no offence."
" Then you did not understand what he meant tly Vinegar-Lill 1"
said his Worship.
" Deevle a bit of it at all!" replied Mr. Thomas O'Toole; and
Mr. Barney M' Flinn t!..:' tred he Lever heard of the place in the
wool cons,. of his life ; but his Worship did not believe them, and
they were both held to bail.
Ila 'mann v. Ginas.—Mr. Renjarnisi Gibbs, of Kentish Town, was
charged with having assaulital Mrs. Sarah Barnard, of the sante!
piaci. The patties are near t tialabours, of good repute, respectable'
circumstances, and serious cat riaer. Mrs. Barnard deposed that she
had occasion to call upon Mr. Gibbs's housekeeper the other slay,
and whilst she was standing at the door, Mr.Gilabs rushed upon her
with a jug of water in his hand, threw the water all over her, and
then broke the jug to shlvets against the side of her head.
The 3lighorate asked her if she coiskit.o why he had conducted
bins ;elf su violently?
" Yes, your Worship, I can'tell well enough," replied Mt s: Bar-
nard, " it is for rtothing in the world but because my puss./ went
into his garden list aununer, and—rather sairbehnecci himself i"
Mr. Gibbs made a very angry defence, and, in some degree, a
rather indelicate one. He admitted having broken Mrs. liarnard's
head with the jug—or rather the lug with .Mrs. Baruard's head ;
and he said he thought lifnigeif fully justified in so chilli!, when
she came upon his premises in defiance of his interdiction.—
She and her tom-cat iaicre the annoyance of the whole
bourkaiodher tom cat, in iv-articular,. was in such ill repute,
that he was called " Old Tons," and." Periling Tom," anA his
Worship would hardly believe the trstachkf he had endured frets
the turn-sit in queatitali coining into his garden continually,
and improperly moistening hi, plants; and Mrs. Barnard, more-
over, had threatened, in the heating of several respectable witnesses,
to despoil him of his entire stock of goosef,res its s.this summer, and
bottle them up fur the usesof,Levaell and her abominable tom-cat,
upon the plea that the irerS *aid not have borne any if hey-tont-
eat had not viattred titetn,se carefailly. This was why he forbad
Mrs. Barnard to come new "Isis premises; and, as ,he dared to
come stpon them HI spite- oy iM, he thought himself justifted•in
punishtlig lie t is ahowaaid.-i-This Magistrate told:him he was mis-
takeih and held hint to bail for his appearance at the Sessions.

trance into the fishmonger's shed adjoining, and were breaking
through the wall of Mr. Morris's premises, When the watchman

tremendous blow front a crow bar upon the head, and a second on
the arm of the watchman, and made off. One ran up IMlgate.

now lies in the Hospital in a dangerous state; he-made sufficient
