POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE INCAUTIOUS SALE OF POISONS—ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE.—Martha Sarah Come, a decently attired married
woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to
commit suicide by taking sulphate of zinc.

Police-constable 36 F said that about 3 o'clock on Satur-
day night he was informed by the husband of defendant
that she had taken poison, and on going to ➢lonmouth-
court he fo'und the defendant lying down, with her head
resting against the wall. She admitted she had taken
poison, and that she had bought it at a chemist's shop in
Seven Dials. He then took defendant to Charing-cross
Hospital, where the stomach pump was administered, and
it was ascertained that the defendant had taken sulphate of
zinc.

Mr. Knox asked the constable if he had got a certificate
from the hospital, and the constable said he had not, but
the husband was in court.

The husband said his wife had:been drinking all the week.
On Saturday night she came into a house where he was,
exclaiming "rye done it, I've done it," and that she had
bought poison at a chemist's shop close by. He (the
husband) then went to the shop where there was a bit of a
boy behind the counter, and ho said he had sold his wife
some poison. His wife had once before been remanded for
cutting her throat.
Mr. Knox said the thing that struck him as most fearful
in the case was that a boy behind a counter should sell
poison in pennyworths to half drunken persons. He would
have the female sent to the infirmary for a week, when the
chemist and his boy must attend, and if they declined,
summonses should issue. He (Mr. Knox) would have the
matter properly looked into.
The defendant was then remanded.

A BREAD Row IN GREAT TITCHEIELD STREET.—OP-
POSITION BAKERS.—Mr. Wm. Franklin, a baker at Somers
Town, was charged with being drunk and disorderly.
Mr, Edwaid Lewis, of Great Marlb -trough-street, ap-
peared for Mr. Ludwig Rehn, a baker in Great Titchfield-
street and Somers Town.

Charles Robins, 94 E, deposed that on Saturday he saw
the defendant in Great Titchfield-street. The defendant
had been drinking, and was calling out to Mr. Rehn, " You
- German. Yon have lowered the prices in Somere
Town, and I have come to annoy you." The defendant
had a cart and two men with him, and was selling bread at
4d. the 41b. loaf. There was a crowd of 300 or 400 persons
assembled, and the street was quite blocked up. The de-
fendant told the men with the cart "not to move a -
step. If they take any one let them take me. They can
only fine me 45., and the bakers of Somers Town will pay
the fine." As the defendant continued to cause a great ob-
struction, he then took him into custody.

Mr. Ludwig Rehn, baker, of Great Titchfield• street and
Somers Town, said that on Saturday the defendant came in
front of his shops with his horse and cart, and caused a
great disturbance by calling out "4d for 41bs of bread," and
' We'll serve the - out." He then sent for a constable,
and he removed the cart, but as soon as the defendant saw
the police coming he bolted into a public house, and, on
the police going away, came back again and abused
him, saying ho was starving a number of families in
Somers-town. The defendant, after being taken into
custody by the police, and bailed out, came back to his shop
and behaved in a similar manner.

Mr. Edward Lewis said that Mr. 11.3hn had received a
threatening letter, but he had no indictive feeling, only
wishing the nuisance stopped.
Mr Knox said he would deal with the case as one of
drunk and disorderly conduct,.and fine the defendant 40s.
or a month.

The defendant said he was sorry for what he had
done, and would not repeat it.
Mr. Kuox said the defendant had not only been guilty
of an offence against Mr. Rehn, but also of a public nuis
ance, and if he came before him again he would send him to
the sessions. The nuisance must be stopped.
