POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLDOROUGH-STREET.-0o Saturday a well-
dressed young woman, evidently recently from the coun-
try, entered the court, and, in a state of great agita-
tion, begged the;assistance of the magistrate, Mr. Hard-
wick, under these circumstances :

She said she had just been deserted and left destitute
by a foreigner, to whom she was married, bat who had,
as she had discovered, another wife living in Germany.
This desertion was the more cruel, because he had car-
ried off her whole stock of clothes, except those she
stood upright in, and articles of jewellery, together of
the value of 801. She was thus literally without a
shilling to bet a meal with, or shelter for the night.
Mr. Hardwick asked her if she knew where he had
gone to ?

The applicant said she did not, but she hoped, with
the assistance of a constable, to be able to trace him.
The particulars of her case were these :—She had a good
business at Liverpool. She became acquainted with a
German 11111-ic.a.), who told her he was a single man, and
induced her to marry him. She kept her husband in
idleness for many months, and she was induced at last
to part with her business, and to come to London with
him, he having an engagement at one of the public
tutions. La t week she was infor•ned by one of her
hudand's countrymen that her husband was a married
man, and had one if not more wives in Germany. As
soon as she saw her husband she asked him if the infor-
mation she had reccved was correct. Her husband
did not deny it, and after a night spent in re-
prow:hes, he went away in the morning, carrying with
him the whole of her property. What redress had she
for these injuries?

Mr. Hardwick feared she had no substantial redress as
the law stood. If legally married, the ho <band might
carry off her property, and leavo her destitute—the only
remedy being an application through the parish authori-
ties to him for subsistence, which seldom extended be-
yond the miserable pittance of a few shillings weekly. If
the man was not her husband, by reason of a previous
marriage, then she could not charge him with robbery
until she had established the offence of bigamy—an im-
possibility in her case, as she had no funds to defray the
large expenses of bringing witnesses from Germany.
The applicant then left the court apparently wild with
distress.

On Monday a German, named Sablotney, applied for
a warrant against a female who had threatened to stab
him.

Mr, Bingham granted the warrant, which subsequently
turned out to be directed against the young woinan who
had applied on Saturday to Jr. Hardwick, and who had
contrived to fir.d out where her husband had gone to.
Mr. Bingham, being informed of some of the features
of the case, told the summoning officer Robarts not to
execute the warrant, but to have all the parties before
him the next day.

On Tuesday Bobarts informed Mr. Bingham that an
Arrangement had been come to between the parties.
Mr. Bingham was glad of that, and directed the war-
rant to be discharged.
