POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day.

MARLBORouGn-STREET.

A SUNDAY MORNING DRAM.—Maria Snell, the keeper
of a "leaving" shop, at 8, Husband-street, St. James's,
was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, with un-
lawfully selling spirits without a licence.
Police constable Shrives, 82 C, deposed—On Sunday
morning week I went to 8, Husband-street, about 9 o'clock.
I went into the shop and asked for a glass of something to
drink. The prisoner was there, and other persons, who
also asked for something to drink. I told her she might
serve the others first, and she went into the parlour, and a
woman followed her, and was served with two glasses of
rum, which was paid for in copper money. She neat served
a young man with two glasses of gin, for which he paid sd.
I had two glasses of rum, for which I paid 6d. I went
again yesterday morning, a little after ton, and saw a wo-
man served with a glass of gin, and two men with two
glasses of gin, for which they paid SJ. I was served with
one glass of gin.
Prisoner—You did not have two glasses of rum.
Shrives—Not yesterday, but the previous Sunday. Yes-
terday I had a glass of gin.
Prisoner—He came in yesterday with a young man, and
they said they were ill, and had a glass each. It had been
left with her by a lodger.

Mr Scott, Supervisor of Excise—The prisoner has no
icence.
__

Inspector James Walker—Yesterday morning, about ten
o'clock, accompanied by Butcher 137 C, I went to 8, Hus-
band-street, a clothes shop kept by the prisoner. On entering
the shop the prisoner had a small glass in her hand. I
said, " Well, Mrs Snell, you are at your old games again."
She replied, " Whatever do you mean." I said, "Selling
gin ;" and she said, " Oh, dear me, I'm doing no such
thing." I took the glass from her hand, and asked her
what it had contained, and she said, " Oh, only a drop of
gin." I then told her that I had a warrant for her appre-
hension. On searching the plane I found a bottle of gin,
and another with some rum in it. I then took her to the
station-house, and while taking the charge I missed her
from the dock, and saw her placing another bottle con-
taining spirits under one of the seats.
Butcher, 137 —I went yesterday, accompanied by the
inspeotor, to the prisoner's shop in Husband-street, and
found in the cupboard several empty bottles, all of• which
had contained spirits, and one bottle with some run in it.
There was also a stone bottle with some beer in it, and
some measures which smelt of beer.

The prisoner (who is about 70 years of age) said—The
rum was brought in by one of my lodgers who had a bad
cold. The gin was given to her on Friday, as it was her
birthday, and she was going to put some cold water and
camphor with t, as she was told it was good for the rheu-
matism, (Laughter.)

Inspector Walker—On the 11th of February, 1861, the
prisoner was charged with a similar offence, before the late
Mr Beadon, and fined £25, or three months' imprisonment.
Mr, Tyrwhitt—Such practices are very hard upon pub-

licans, who have to pay for their licenses and who have
very heavy expenses. The law is very stringent in such
cases. I shall find you £5O, or three calendar months in
default. I could have fined you £lOO.
