POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY

(BEFORE MR. BOOTH.)

SMUGGING TEA AND TOBACCO.—Robert Bethell, one
of the stewards on board the Europa, which arrived from
New York on Sunday, was charged by one of the officers
of Customs with smuggling 21 lbs. of tea lb. of cigars,
and 2 lbs. of tobacco.. The officer met Bethell as he was
leaving the ship, carrying a carpet bag, and on being
asked if he had any tobacco, or other goods chargeable
with duty, in his possession, he said he had not. The
officer, not satisfied -with the answer, instituted a search,
and in the bag found 'the articles named. In defence,
Bethell said he understood he was entitled to take the
articles home, as they were his own ; he had no intention
of smuggling, nor didlc think he was violating any law.
He was ordered to pay a fine of 305., the value of the

smuggled property

.
ASSAULTINGTIDE POLlCE.—Bernard Murphy, a stout
athletic fellow, was,charged with an assault on Inspector
Comlin and police,constable 42. From the evidence of
the inspector it appeared that shortly after ten o'clock on
Sunday, as.some foreign sailors were passing along Tithe-
harm-street 'the Singularity of their dress attracted atten-
tion, and they were followed by a crowd of boys, who
made .a great noise. The sailors were. peaceable, and
molested no one. • The prisoner joined the crowd, and
without prOvocation-struck one of the sailors, and knocked
him down. Witncs&laid hold of the prisoner, who, turn-
ing round, struck him -a severe blow on the eye, which
knocked him down also. The constable then came up and
collared the prisoner, but was also struck by the prisoner,
whoTenewed his attack upon the inspector. The prisoner,
Withlhe coolestimpudence, said he did not remember nor
care to remember anything about the matter. He sup-
posed, however, it was .all correct, and the only thing he
regretted was, that he had not " wallopped" the police
rather better than he appeared to have done. He was
ordered to be imprisoned for two months with hard labour.
