POLICE' INTELLIGENCE.

130 W-STREET well-dressed young man, who
gave the name of James Brawn, was brought before Mr.
Henry, charged with obtaining money from several
parties by false pretences.
It appeared that the prisoner had represented himself
as a le4al practitioner, and in this capacity had been
employed to ge: in outstanding debts for small trades-
men, who advanced him money for the purposes of pay-
ing the preliminary fees and expenses.
Mr. John Bostin, wheelwright, 26, Little Queen-St.,
proved That the prisoner obtained 18s. 9d. from him,
"on account," baying undertaken to sue a arson for
Radhourne, cnach-builder;, residing
at King's-cross, deposed to having advanced 2/ 4s (id
to the prisoner, from time to time, to enable him to. re-
cover a debt of 61.
In the latter case it was proved that the prisoner had
at different periods reported the progress he was rnaki,,
in the action, from the issuing Of the writ to the alle.:ed
trial of the cause at 'the Croydon Assizes, and he went
so far as to exhibit what, purported to be a judge's order,
signed by Mr. Justice Maule, at chambers. 'Upon these
various pretences the prosecutor advanced the money,
and on Thnrsdafafternoon, meeting him accidentally
the street, he asked the prisoner how the action wa,
getting on He replied that he had deceived the pro.
secutor all along, and now felt bound to confess that he
had never commenced any action at all. He expres-ed
his willingness to accompany the prosecutor to the p.,lice
station in Bow-street, where he was given into custody.
The prisoner made no defence to the charge. He ad-
mitted the truth of the prosecutor's statements. '

Mr. Henry—Then you must know that it is a very
serious offence to represent yourself as a qualified attor-
ney, and obtain money from people under the pretence
of conducting actions which you had no power to cum.
mence. There is a probability of yOur having defrauded
others in the Same way, and you must therefore be re-
-2 landed for a week that the police may make inquiries
about you.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Robert Dallimore, an athle-
tic but quiet-looking man, having the appearance of
decent chanic, was charged before Mr. Hamann with
having violently assaulted. Mr. Thomas Symonds, a
chemist and druggist in Napier-s±reet, Hoxton.
The complainant who appeared with both his eyes
blackened, and exhibited a severe cut across the nose,
said—At the urgent request of a friend, who had given
a man into custody, I -proceeded with him last evening
to the station-house, bat we were closely followed by a
disorderly mob of
Persons, and subjected all the way4to
Insults. The prisoner rendered himself particularly con-
spicuous, and just as be reached the station he addressed
P Such "an Offensive tone that I demanded

I had no sooner uttered the words than he bounded

the police surgeon at the station-house, where I remained
nearly an hour before I was sufficiently recovered to.re-
turn home, and am and in a state of extreme sufferiog,
which deprived me of sleep all night.
In answer to the charge, theldefendant emphatically
denied that he had been in any way connected with the
persona who had molested the complainant and his
friend, and said that having been attracted by the crowd
in front of the station he was passively looking on, when
he was grossly insulted by the complainant, who singled
him out amongst the bystanders, and Publicly stigma-
tised him as a returned transport, Ee had been em-
ployed for years-by an eminent firm in the neighbour--

WESTMINSTER.—IsabeIIa Mary Jolley, a respect-
able-looking woman, 42 years old, was placed at the
bar, on suspicion of having murdered her mother.
Sarah Massoup, sworn—l am servant to the prisoner,
at 33, Hill-street, Knightsbridge. The family consisted
of Miss Jolley and her mother, who was a widow getting
on for 90. She was very infirm, but not bedridden.
I had to help to undress and get her into bed. I did so at
ten on Wednesday night. The prisoner came home at
eleven. I went to bed, and about three o'clock was
awoke by the prisoner coming into my room. She had
no light, and was not undressed. She told me I need
not get up before seven o'clock, when I was to make
breakfast and take it up. I rose at the hour named,
and was taking the breakfast up to the second floor front
room where the old lady slept, when the prisoner told
me I must not go in there, but must take it into the next
room. Prisoner and her mother slept in the front room,
an-I it was in that room I had put the old lady to bed
the night before. I was trying to open the door of that
room when the prisoner spoke to me, and I found it
locked. She had been out about eight o'clock, and
ctme up the stairs at that moment. She said she did
not wish it to be opened, because " pussey" would go
in there. I said, " That is, very strange, for misses is
so fond'of the cat." She went into the room with the
breakfast, and I went down stairs. A little while after-
wards I went up into the back room, and there I found
the tea things. They were dirty, and both cups had
been used. Prisoner went out again, shortly after I had
taken the things down. She came in about 10 o'clock.
When I asked her if she would have the usual washing
done, she told me she would not. I went down stairs,
and remained there till a policeman came.
Mr. Arnold—Who first told you of her death ?
Witness—The policeman. Prisoner then came down
to me, and I said " It was very wrong of you not to
have said anything about misses being dead." She said,
" Fanny, don't speak."
Mr. Arnold—When she came to the room to you, at
night, did she say anything else besidas what you have
told me.

Witness—Yes. I had given her notice last week to
quit, and she said that I might go to a lady to see about
another situation, and she said her brother had told her
that she had better take her mother to the salt-water
for the benefit of her health, and that Mrs. Capp would
take care of the howe. She said, "DJ you think you
will go and look for a place. to-morrow ? There will be
nothing to hinder you." I have been in the habit of go-
ing into the deceased's room with the breakfast, and
cutting her: bread and butter. I never found the door
locked beLre.

Prisoner, upon being asked whether she wished to put
any questions to the witness, said, in an almost inaudible
tone, that she did not go int.) the servant's room atter
lion Wednesday night, and then merely wens to give
some instructions about breakfast, thinking that her
mother would want something early.
Witness repeated that the visit was after she bad been
in bed as described.

Mrs. Mary Crapp, 17, Hill-street, the wife of a builder,
said—l know Miss Jolley. I passed her parlour window
when she tapped at it a little after 12 yesterday morn.
ing. I stopped, and she said, "I am 'mad—l am almost
mad ;" and holding her hands to her head, appeared
in a most agitated state. I went in and she sail some-
thing about her poor mother, and added, "She is dead."
I said," Was she ill?" and she said something about a
razor and cutting htir throat, and of her (prisoner) hav-
ing put her mother's feet up on a ch&r, and her dpog
quietly, and about something wet, something about the
mother having said, "Don't trouble, I am very wet,"
and of her putting her hand to her breast and saying,
" I any dying." Prisoner told me she tried'to cut her
own throat, but could not for the life of her. She kept
putting her hands up to her head in a very strange man-
ner. She said the occurrence took place about the
morning. She said she was cold and stiff then. She
said the servant did not know it. She did not like to
tell her because she was a Catholic. I do not know
what that bad to do with it.

Mr. Crapp, Sergeant M`Leod of the B division, and a
Mr. Huggard, were severally examined. Their united
testimony was to the followingeffect:—After the prisoner
informed them that her mother was dead, she ob-
served Sergeant M‘Leod, who had entered the passage
a moment after the other two, and appeared very much
al ,rmed, and said that Mr. Crapp should not have told
a policeman. They went upstairs to the second fl ior
front room. • Prisoner unlocked the door, and they went
in, and saw the deceased lying across the bed• with her
f?et on a chair, and her throat cut. Prisoner said that
about daylight she beard something the matter with her
mother, who said " I am very wet," and when she put
her hand upon her she discovered that it was blood. She
asked deceased what was the matter, when she replied
"I am dying." Prisqiner said she then•laid her back upon
the bed and put her feet upon a chair 'and she imme-
diately expired. The police sergeant asked what
deceased's throat was cut with, when she replied
a razor, and pointed to the table drawer. The
policeman took the razor out of the drawer, and ex-
amining it said, it is quite clean. She replied, " I have
washed it, and I have taken it out this morning and
had it sharpened." She maid she had tried to cut her
own throat, but the razor would nut act upon her. Pri-
soner requested the constable not to tell the servant, as
16e was a Catholic whom prisoner did not like, and that
she would swear anything.
Some additional evidence laving been given,
A brother of the prisoner solicited an adjournment, in
order that the accused might be provided with, legal as-
sistance.

Mr. Arlinld immediately assented; and the accused
was remanded till Tnursday :next.

racter, he felt so indignant at such a scandalous imputa-
tion tbat he instantly knocked him down, and wo'ud do
the same again up n the like provocati,m.
Mr. Haminill said tt'at such rn injurious and un-
founded aspersion was certainly strougly calculated to
exasperate the feelings of a respectable man, which he
believed the defendant to be, and as he felt reluctant,
under the circumstances, to impose a penalty, be sliou'd
allow them to retire into a private room, and endeavour
to effect an amicable arrangement.
After a short absence the parties re-entered the court,
r.nd it having been intimated by the complainant that he
had no wish to proceed further in the matter, the de-
fendant was ordered to be discharged.
