------
In consequence of the neglect of some of the individuals who
were cautioned to clear away the snow from their doors, several
summonses have been issued &genial the parties, and on appearing
yesterday at this Office before F. A. Roe, Esq. were fined )n the
Mitigated penalty of ss.
Mr. Hemel 1 , a gentleman of most respectable connexions' was
yesterday brought before the Presiding Magistrate, charged with
baying assaulted a police constable, named John Anderson, Di-
vision C. No. SO. _ _
. _ _ _

The Policeman stated that be merely, as he passed the defendant
observed that it was a flee cold night, when the defendant de:
mended his number, which he replied was on his coat. The de-
fendant then collared him, tore the buttons of the cape off his coat,
and took up the cape, and refhsed to give it.
M Air. Ron enquired what thedefendant had to say?
The defendant replied, " that he was mere sinned against than
sinning ;" be ought to have been there as complainant, and not as
one accused. He said he was passing along Oxford-street, when
the complainant ran up to him and said, (with impudent familia-
rity,)" I.say, my boy, bow cold it is." The defendant imme-
diately advised the policeman to make his observations to some one
more equal with him. The complainant called him several ungen-
tlemanly names, and the defendant then demanded his number
(the policeman having totally obscured it by a large comforter round
his neck,) and on the complainant's refusing to give it. the defend-
ant picked up the policeman's cape, which bad fallen upon the
ground, and refused to give it him until he should give him the
required information. finally, the defendant had been consigned
to the watch-house. _ _ _

Two most respectable witnesses corroborated this statement.
Mr. Roe, after having attentively listened to all the statements,
pee and swans, said that be believed the policemen were ordered
not to address their conversation to any one. He was of opinion
that the case was most decidedly against the constable, and be
shwald therefore discharge the defendant; at the same time, the
Commissioners of Police would licen to any complaint that sight
be made.—The defendant expressed his determination of pursuing
that course.
