POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

William and Mary Dalton, man and wife, were charged
with being disorderly at the door of St. Margaret's Work-
house, York-street, Westminster, and the woman with
doing ten shillings worth of damage.
William Robert Morley, the master of the house, said
that the defendants were there last night and applied for
admission. The man told him that he had been an inmate
of their other workhouse at Kensington, and had left there
only that morning. Complainant offered him an order for
readmission at Kensington, but he refused to take it. There
was a great deal of trouble with the poor people, who all
wanted to be in the town house in York-street.

Mr Ingham—How is that ?
Complainant—They like it better, and we really can't
have them in York-street.

Mr Ingham—Why .do they like it better?
Ccmplainant—They are not so isolated 'as at Kensington.
They are nearer their acquaintances, and there is neces-
sarily, from the difference of size of the two houses, a dif-
ference of classification of the inmates.

Mr Ingham—they prefer the society of Yolk-street to
that of Kensington.
Complainant—l hey want to remain here, and we have
orders not to admit thetn. After I had given these people
an answer, the woman, who had been drinking, became
very violent, and throwing granite stones at the windows,
did 10s. worth of damage. I always do the best I can for
these poor people, but we were full, and all I could do was
to offer them an order for the other house.
The woman denied that she had done the amount of
damage, sad paid she ought to have been admitted at York-
street.

She was commited for ten days; her husband was dis-
charged.
