POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday a watchman, named Freemen, was charged with
having committed an outrageous assault upon a Gentleman.
Two Gentlemen, in passing along Combat on Tuesday night, at
half-past ten o'clock, saw two little girls in the most deplorable
state, sitting on the steps of a hall-door. The Gentlemen crosied
the street. gave alms to the destitute children, and asked a watch-
man, who stood near them, something about their condition. The
watchman, instead of answering, replied in a rough tone, that they
(th complainants) had better walk on, anti that he did not care
ani thing about the children. " You might, at least," said one of
the Gentlemen, " have given a civil reply.' This admonition pro-
&teed loud menaces front the watchman, and then the defendant,
who was keeping a staggering watch at the ether side of the street,
sallied over, seised the person who was so presumptuous as to reply
to a person in such authority, and told him that he should lie in the
watch-house until Monday nut. Some other Gentlemen. who were
patsing at the time, immediately interfered, by expressing in gentle
terms their disapprobation of the conduct of the man iu authority,
whereupon the defendant struck one of them in a most violent
manner. Three or four of the Gentlemen were knocked about
without mercy by tome watchmen who came to assist the defendant,
but the Gentlemen took care that the principal should not escape.
Freeman sutured Alderman Lucas, who sat for the Lord Mayor,
that the Gentlemen were the east assailants but the evidence to
the contrary was overpowering. Some of the inhabitants of Corns
bin said that they had discharged the defendant. The Gentlemen
declared that the public were subject in so much insolence from
this class of men, that an example upon this occasion would be of
great service.
Alderman Lucas raid the defendant should, in the first place,
pay the sum of ss. for being drunk, and, in the neat, find bail to
answer fur the assault.
A relation of the watchman came forward, and declared that the
latter had received a severe wound on the head in battle, which
caused almost madness when he took liquor. Tuesday night was
the annual carnival meeting of the watchmen, when many of them,
liketbeir betters on similar occasions. had departed from the severe
rules set down for them, and the defendant was amongst the stlost
unfortunate in that respect.
The complainants, on hearing this, refused to proceed against the
defendant.
Alderman Lucas then fined the defendant, and expressed a hope
that when the Gentlemen of the Lantern intended to sup together
again. notice would he sent to the inhabitants to keep within doors,
and to the Lord Mayor to provide substitutes during the time of
enjoyment.
GUILDHALL.

Two cases of connubial Infelicity were yesterday brought before
Sir J. Pitaanni. The tint was that of a master baker, who had
been married nine years, but latterly his wife was continually in a
state of intoxication, and dissipating his property. While in that'
state she threatened to kill him, and burn the house ; he was there-
fore under the necessity of giving her into custody. After some
time they agreed to terms of sep:sration, and the case was dismissed.
—The other WAS a juvenile couple, who bad been married about 14
months. The husband, a copper plate printer, had discovered that
a criminal connexion subsisted between his faithless rib and a pub-
bean near lidliugsgate ; and, as she alleged, be carried a razor about
him with a murderous intent, she pleaded hard for a separate main-
tenance, which the husband refused, but urged her to return home,
promising to use her well if she behaved properly; and Sir Jams
refused to make any order for a separate allowance.
