POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

ASSAULT.—An Irishman named Kennedy was, on Friday,
placed at the bar of the Police-office, charged by his wife and
sister-in-law with having assaulted them. From the state-
ment of the latter, in particular, it appeared that the prisoner
had behaved towards her in a very gross and brutal manner,
and both the females bore indisputable evidence of the valour
of their assaulter. As the charge proceeded, and began gra-
dually to assume a darker appearance, the Irishman bowed
down his head in shame,—until, at.the close, it literally rested
upon his bo.som. On being asked by Mr. Hall what he had 1
to say, Kennedy slowly erected his head, and replied, " Why, '
1 can't say nothing; she says far too much agin me. But
the worst of it is, it's not all true, nor the half, nor the quar-
ter, your worship—only three drops in the whole bucket that
wusn't made by her own self. I'll tell your honour. I got
up and went out about seven o'clock in the morning, and when
1 come back Hughie O'Neil, an ould friend, was theer in all
his glory. 'The top of the morning to you,' says 1 to Hughie:
haven't you been out in the sun early ?' says I. Not at all,'
says he will you and Biddy take the smallest taste in life
with me ?' Well, of coorse it would'nt have looked well to say
no to an ould• friend; and Hughie sent out for a half-pint of
rum, but would'nt le; him, your honour, telling him that three
glasses would be oceans for the three of us. Well, that grub-
bed Biddy—my mistress theer, as I call her—for she did'nt
like the odd glass apiece in, Biddy brought four, and turned
the key on the biggest half of it. Then we had three quarts
of ale, and Hughie begun to be drunk, and I was getting pretty
near it, sir, but still quite able to take care of inesilf, and to
act dacen ; but the wife theer—bah ! I'll leave your honour
to guess how she was; wus'nt she crying drunk in a corner,
and tearing the Groves of Blarney' to rags and tatters?
Well, sir, Hughie got up, and walked aVitit like a blind pig
in a bog. and he run agin the table and overturned the mugs,
and the jugs, and the things of that soort, and not a soul of
them was saved, and she lying there in the corner howling
like an old sack with a dog in it, and never stirred a hand to
save a single article to the fore. And so 1 said, being in a
tearing rage at the loss of the furniture, ' Biddy,' says I,
but quite asy and gentle, she being my wife, your honour—
Biddy,' says I, 'd— your eves, why did'nt you stir to save
the things?' And what's the answer she makes ? Ax my
eye," says she, and went on singing the Groves of Blarney ;
the old eye of her burning in her head like a fish's back in the
dark. And then I did give her a bit of a sly kick or two, your
honour." With respect to the treatment of his sister-in-law,
the prisoner offered little in extenuation. He was fined 40s
and costs, in default of payment to be imprisoned one month,
and furthermore to find bail to keep the peace.

THEFT AT THE LATE FlFE.—Yesterday, the Police-
office, a porter, named John Joyce, was placed before the
magistrates, charged with havini,r stolen a bag of sugar be-
longing to Mr. Heap, of North John-street. James ['Willa
Thompson, a clerk, stated that about a gagger past twelve
o'clock on Saturday he was standing at thagottom of Ro-
berts-street North, near the late fire. He saw the prisoner
and another man each carrying a bag of sugar down the
street; from one of the warehouses. The other man placed

his sugar on a cart, but the prisonercarried his bag at a rapid
rate towards Waterloo-road. The witness directed the at-
tention of one of the lockers to the prisoner, who sent an
officer after him. On being questioned by the officer, the
prisoner said he did not know where he was taking the sugar
to. He was accordingly-taken into custody. The weight of
the sugar was 1 cwt. 3 qrs. 16 lbs. The duty had not been
paid, and the value of the sugar with duty was about £4.—
The prisoner had nothing to say in defence, and was com-
mitted for trial..
EMBEZZLEAIENT.—Yesterday, at the Police-office, a lad
named John Roberts was placed before the magistrates, on
a charge of embezzling a quantity of potatoes, the prOperty
of his mistress, Mrs. MargaretTolding, of Croxteth Park.
William Polding stated that he managed his mother's farm,
and on the 3rd inst. he engaged the prisoner as a carter, and
on the 4th sent him to the Haymarket with a cart-load of
potatoes. He sold the potatoes, left the cart in London-
road, and never returned. Next day witness went in search
of him, and found him at his uncle's in Adlington-street.
He (witness) immediately sent for a constable, and had him
taken into custody. He said to him, " You are a pretty
fellow ! what have you done with the money which you got
for the potatoes ?" The prisoner said that part of the money
he had lost, and part of it he had given to his uncle, who
was a poor man and ill of a fever.--.-Chistopher Arthur, but-._
cher and green-grocer, of Cable-street, deposed, that on'
'Thursday last he purchased a cart-load of potatoes from the
prisoner, for which he paid him £1 10s. on account: the
potatoes came to £2 10s.—The prisoner had nothing to say
in defence, and was committed to take his trial.
Assatur,--Yesterday, at the Police-office, two men,
named Hall and Lynch, were placed before the magistrates,
charged with an assault on policeman 277. The policeman,
who appeared with his head bound up, stated that about four
o'clock that morning a fight took place in Great Howard-
street, and the prisoners would not go away. The-prisoner
Hall told him he would let him know who he was—his name
was Hall, and he was a magistrate. (A laugh.) The pri-
soner then struck him, and he followed him to his house to
take him into custody, and when there he got his (complain-
ant's) stick from him, and gave him a violent blow over the
head, and the other prisoner kept encouraging him.—The
prisoner Hall said he had been all night at the fire, and was
returning home, when the officer got into a squabble with
him and struck him, and his blood could not bear it. Lvntili
slid he knew nothing at all'about it.—On the part of 'Hall
se reral women appeared as witnesses. One :tated that she
saw the policeman strike the prisoner several times with his
fist, and drive hint out of the street. Another woman said it
was a fight between the policeman and the prisoner. She
thought the policeman ought to know his duty better than to
insist upon a man going borne, when he was going quietly
as fast as he could. She did not know the prisoner from
Adam. She -saw the policeman strike him several times.
Another female swore that she saw the policeman leaning
against some rails, drunk, about half an hour before the row,
and afterwards saw him beating and knocking down the
prisoner Hall scandalously.—Mr. Hall said the man would
have marks upon. him if he had been beaten in this way.—
An inspector and the Bridewell-keeper both swore that the
officer was sober, and that the men were drunk.—Mr. Hall
said it was clear that there was a great effort to save Hall,
and he did not think the evidence threw much credit on those
who gave it. It was perfectly clear to him that they were
swearing what was not correct. If Hall had been beaten in
the manner that was stated, there would have been marks
upon him.—Hall was ordered to pay a fine of 205., or be
imprisoned one month; and Lynch was fined ss. for being
drunk, or to be imprisoned three days.
