ALLEGIID ASSAULT ON A POULTON POLICZMAR.— On Monday, at the Blackpool Police Court (before Thomas Hoyle, Esq., and the Mayor), Anthony Taylor, carpenter, of Arncliffe, Yorkshire; John Brooks, labourer, of Gloucester; Robert Lyon, labourer,of Bureicough ; and Frederick Jackson Tupplin, signal fitter, of Boston. Lincolnshire, were charged, on remand from Saturday, with having assaulted P. C. Rawsthorne, on Thursday, the 20th inst., in Church-street, Poulton. The constable, both on Saturday and Monday, was too ill to attend, but William Lacken, who saw the assault committed, gave evidence which resulted in a farther remand until Monday next. It appears . that the four men have been temporarily employed on the railway near Poulton, and on the day named were creating a disturbance in the street. P.C. Rawsthorne interfered, was struck, knocked down, and then kicked in a brutal manner. After the scuffle six caps were found on the ground, leading to the conjecture that more than four men had been concerned in the assault—Mr. Sparrow, solicitor, of Blackburn, appeared on behalf of Anthony Taylor.—Superintendent Stafford said that P.C. Hawsthorn wasyet unable to appear on aooount of the serious injuries he haft received, in fact, from inquiries made the previous night, he was considerably worse. The man who would be the principal witness was also in a very had state, and therefore he asked the Bench to remand the prisoners for a week. , —Mr. Sparrow applied for bail on behalf of Taylor, and said it was of the utmost importance that he should be in Manchester that night,---Superintendent Stafford objected to Taylor being let out on bail, as he was one of the principal instigators.— Mr. Hoyle said they had considered the matter and found they bad no option but to remand the prisoners, as it was possible that the police-constable may die, and then the four prisoners would be arraigned for murder. As for accepting bail, it was impassible for them to do that, as the principal witness had not been in a fit state to identify the prisoners since the attack. He then formally remanded the prisoners until next Monday.
