POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

A respectable-looking female applied for assist-
ance under the following circumstances :—She
stated that her name was Sparkes, and that she was
married to a respectable man, who was a press-
maker. Before her marriage she had the misfor-
tune to have a child, of which Mr. ;fir d, the
celebrated vocalist, of Covent-garden, was the father.
Ile had a long time since taken the child under his
care, and undertaken to provide for it. Being,
however, desirous to see her own offspring, she had
applied to him several times for permission to see it,
but he invariably refused. A short time since she
again applied, but he at once refused, and said that
it was probable that she never would see the child
again. Under these circumstances she thought it
proper to apply to a Magistrate for advice.
Mr. MINSHULL said that he was sure Mr. W—d
would allow her to see it, and told the applicant,
before she took farther proceedings, to mike his.
(Mr. Minshull's) compliments to him, and ask per-
mission again.—The applicant then retired.
She appeared extremely anxious for the fate of
her girl, who is now about two years old.

UNION-HALL.
TIIE FORCE OF LOVE.—A cow-keeper, named
Cawston, residing in Newington, applied for advice
under the following circumstances :—lie stated that
he was very much annoyed by a female, who haunted
him day and night. He could go no where that she
was not after him.

Mr. DAVIS (the Magistrate)—l suppose, then,
the poor girl is in love with you ; is that the case ?
Applicant—That is the fact, your Worship; when
I goes out of a morning, with my pails, she is sure to
be arter my heels ; and when I comes home, there
she sticks herself afore my door, and looks for
all the world like a statue. She was a servant,
he said, in a gentleman's family that he used to
serve with milk. She often deplored that she was
not a woman of fortune for his sake, declaring that
had she thousands, they should be at the command
of so nice a young man. He never gave her no
liberties, he said, but her father dying left her some
property ; and the poor man was no sooner in the
grave than she came to him (applicant), exhibited
3001., and asked him to marry her, saying that he
should have the money to increase his stock of cows.
On that occasion, added the cow-keeper, I told her
point blank that I would not have her at any price ;
howsomever she would not take this denial, and she
comes after me wherever I go, and says that where-
ever I am there she will be also.
The MAGISTRATE said he did not see how the
poor girl could be hindered from following and ad-
miring the man she loves. Does she threaten to
assault you, or do you apprehend any personal dan-
ger from her ?
Cow-keeper—l can't say that I do ; but then,
your Worship, suppose as how yourself was in my
sityvation, you wouldn't like to be followed about
to the houses -of your customers by a woman ? I'm
sure I have done every thing as laid in my power to
get rid of the nuisance. I have sloshed milk over her
more than once, twice, or thrice, but that won't do.

. . .
Mr. DAvis—One would bo inclined to think
that would cool her ardour for a lover who dashed
his milk at her head.

Cow-keeper—No, Sir, not a bit of it ; she's as
bad as ever now, and follows me about, declaring
that she will have me at last—for if she don't,
nobody else shall. It was only the night afore last
I shoved her down into the mud ; she got up again,
went home, changed her dress, and there she was
at my tail before I served half my customers with
the afternoon milk.

The MAGISTRATE said, that however enraptured
the poor girl might be with the complainant, that
wus no justification for his dashing milk at her
head, or sousing her in the mud. He could not see
that any assistance could be rendered from the office.
—Cow-keeper—Then Pam afraid I shall lose all
my customers, for seeing the girl coming after me
continually, they will suppose that there is an im-
proper connexion between us, which, I declare most
solemnly, is not the case.

Mr. DAVIS remarked; that it was a pity a gill
possessed of property should give way to a passion
for a man who was utterly unworthy of her thoughts.
The Magistrate then directed Craig, the officer, to
proceed to her residence, and endeavour to impres-
upon her mind the folly of annoying the co-vs
keeper, and informing her, that if she still persisted
in doing so it would only lead to great discomfiture
on her part.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on. the
Woolsack at Five minutes past Five.
Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from the
members of a Dissenting Chapel in the city of Exeter,
praying for the abolition of the punishment of death
for forgery. •
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition
from the chemists and druggists of Lynn, Norfolk,
against the Medicine Stamp Act.
Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from
Birmingham, praying the House to postpone the
consideration of the King Edward's Free Grammar
School BR—Ordered to lie on the table.
The Earl of WESTMORELAND presented a
petition from Sir Jonah Barrington, praying to be
heard by Counsel at the bar, and to have witnesses
examined on. hie behalf.—The petition was read
at length.

Thi; Duke of WELLINGTON supportid the
prayer of the petition. He thought it was the duty
of the House to adopt some measures, ittit.rder to
give itself information on this subject• The file
Duke sat down by moving that the further conside-.
ration of this subject be resumed on Monday
se'nnight, and that witnesses should be summoned
to attend on that day.—Agreed to.
The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE presented a pe-
tition from a person named Carden, stating that he
had for several years considered a plan for forming a
National Cemetery, and praying that the House
would tale the subject into consideration.
-Petitions were also presented by the same NOBLE
MARQUIS from a parish in Dublin and Queen's
County against the Stamp Act; from a Brach of the
Provincial Bank of Ireland, against the punishment of
death for forgery; from Cork, against the Vestryßill,
and the increased Duty on Spirits; from Roman
Catholics of Westmeath, against the Vestry Bill;
from Skrene, against Tithes ; and from the Mayor
of Dublin against taxation in general,and particularly
against any increase of Duty on the Newspapers of
Ireland.

The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE moved that
the Order of the Day for the second reading of the
Irish Bog Drainage Bill should be discharged, and
that the second reading should be fixed for Tuesday
next.

The Earl of WICKLOW recommended that the
Bill should be withdrawn for this Session, as the
Bill contained many things that would render it im-
possible for it to pass.
On this proposition a conversation ensued, in the
course of which

Earl DARNLEY took occasion to observe that,
from.the manner in which business was now trans-
acted in the House of Commtins, it was impossible
for that House to give due attention to the Bills
that passed through it. As a proof of this, he re-
ferred to the proceedings of last night, when ninety-
six different subjects came under consideration,
forty-two of which were disposed of after twelve.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE was glad that this sub-
ject had been mentioned. In the way in which
business was now heaped upon the Commons, it
was impossible that the business of the country could
be well done. The cause of this was the extreme
length to which the principle of the House of Lords
not interfering in Money Bills was carried. No Bill
with a penal clause in it was now allowed to be ori-
ginated in that House; because as it was supposed
the passing of a penal clause was the levying a tax
upon the subject. The consequence was, that the
House of Commons was overloaded with business,
since nearly all Bills originated there. He had
spoken to several Members of that House upon the
subject, and he was glad to say that a very general
feeling seemed to be entertained there that the prin-
ciple alluded to had been carried too far. He had
called the attention of their Lordships to this sub-
ject, because it was his intention to bring forward
the subject in a regular manner at a future day.
The Order was then discharged ; and the second
reading of the Irish Bog Drainage Bill was fixed for
Tuesday next, for which day their Lordships were
ordered to be summoned.

Earl GREY presented petitions from Clonmel
and from Csshel, against the increase of the Irish
Stamp Duties.
A Message from the Commons brought up the
Abolition of Fees Bill and some Private Bills.
Evidence on the East Retford Bill was heard
until nine o'clock, when the House adjourned.
