' named 'Abe Parsons, was brought to this otfiee, charged
by, the Mendicity Seiety rwith having for a long period
been obtaieing large 'UM. of money from the charitable
public, by means or advertisements in the newspapers, In
which nothing but false statements Were made. • '
His first advertisement appeared in some of the papers
in November, 182 i, appealing to the humane, under the.
most urgent distress; aside& the plausible tale of imppe
tor, Mr. Huggers, of Oxford Street, was induced to be re-'
ferret' to as to the facts of his statement, and to receive sub-
scriptions fat iiim. Between that period and the tenoning
Isebtuary neafly 80!. was paid Prisons from the subicrip-
gees received by Mr. Haggett!, in, addition to the large
quantities of linen; &c.
Mr. Baggers, hoWerer. bad ng seen another advertisement
le the papers from Parsons (after lie had received the above
very maple relief), stating that he had only received eleven
shillings, refund to have ally thing further to do with him ;
bat the fellow had the address to persuade other gentlemen
to receive subscriptions for him, and he continued his de-
predations on the public in this manner to an unknown
amount, until November Int when Mr. Pope, the surgeon
of Somerset Street, who attended his family, and received
monies for hum, saw an advertisement, stating that his
former appeals had not met the public eye, and that he bad
nit received a single shilling.
The Magistrate sentenced him to three months lined-
soonsent, and bard labour at the tread-mill, in the House of
Correction.

The constable of the night said, that there was s yowl
man present who saw the assault.

any provocation, and it was a very outrageous assault.—
They were severely injured.
..The Magistrate then observed that two of the prison-
er* were well known at the Office, and he, therefore, re-
manded them, in order to see if the complainants would

'the prisoner answered he only wanted a halfpenny; but on
his giving charge of him he pretended to be dumb, and to
the questions put by the officers, lie coadeseveral wry faces,
and signs with his hands, and pretended a total incapability
of speaking. The prisoner, while at the bar, acted in a
similar manner.

UNio.e LIALL.--Yesterday morning', w en Hall, the
Chief constable, laid his report book far inspection before
L. B. ALLEN, Esq. he stated that Dan. Harris, sen..one of
the officers of this Establishment, was nearly murdered the
previous day by a man named Evans, who is in the em-
ployinent of Mr. Callaghan, a millwright, residing in
Newington Causeway. It appeared that Harris went to
the premises of Mr. Callaghan, where Evans was at work,
on Tuesday, about 4 o'clock:. for the purpose of executing
an assault warrant on him. Harris did not know the
individual's person against whom the warrant was issued,
but from the description lie had received, he concluded that
Evans, who was at work in the factory with a pick axe,
was the man be wanted. He then exhibited the warrant,
and asked Evans whether he was not the man. Evans re-
plied that he was not the person, and was about to walk
stray from the premises. Harris, whose suspicions were
ratherincreased than • diminished, opposed his departure,
telling him that a person would soon appear who would
prove the necessary fact. Evans- then recommenced bye
work, bat seeing Harris turn round his head. ti nod • dee,
perste blow at the unfortunate officer's skull with the pick:
axe, and wounded him deeply over the eye. Harris felk
almost deprived of his senses, to the ground. Upon ati
tempting to rise, he was again knocked down by Evans,, I
who beat out several of his teeth with the same dreadful
instrument. The poor fellcivr was left lying on the ground
Covered with blood. Hall added, that on Tuesday
evening, Harris was considered in danger, but the sur-
geon pronounced him better yesterday morning. Evans
absconded.

Mr. A imett desired that neither trouble nor expense
should be spared in the search after the desperate ruffian,
and sent thee° officers in pursuit of him.
A chivalrous attorney on Tuesday night took it into his
head to attempt to rescue a whole squad of Irish rioters ; be
rushed into the watch bottle in the High-street, South-
wark, end called upon the night constable to discharge
them. Tbeperson in the highest authority in the watch
house desired him to quit the place. The attorney would
not obey, and became so noisy that it was found necessary
to expel Mm by farce. The moment the watch house door
was open again, in rushed the attorney a second time, and
strtscic all who stood in his way, still demanding that the
Irish should be liberated. He was then locked up. When
put so the bar, he elbibited A woeful *are; his cravat
