POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday James Walker, an inhabitant of Islington, was
brought before Messrs. BENNETT and ROGERS, to show cause
why he refused to sign his examination upon an order of re-
moval for himself and wife under rather singular circumstances.
His wife, a fine-looking woman, with an infant in her arms, was
in attendance.

Mr. 13cNNETT inquired of the defendant his reason for re-
fusing to sign his name?—Mr. Walker said that be was living
with his w'ife about nine years ago, when she wal seduced from
her home by an individual whom he introduocd to his house,
and she eloped with him, and from that time he had not seen
her until she applied to the pariah fir relief with the three
children which belonged to the man with whom she had be a
cohabiting. Ile refused to sign his name to any document
which was likely to enforce him to support a woman who had
been living in open adultery and her illegitimate offspring.
Mr. I3ENNETT assured him that the proceeding was mere
matter of form, and he consented to sign his name.
Mr. Ashlcy—Now, Mr. Walkeri are you ready to go to
Farnham, whenever the parish call upon you to do so p—Mr.
Walker—Certainly I am, but 1 never will have anything to
do with the children.

The wife during the proceeding stood listening with the
most brazen hardihood, and as her husband passe't by her she
tauntingly said to him, " You have 'said your taty, my lord, but
I havn't said mine."

Mr. Ashley told the defendant that he would merely have to
go down to Farnham, and come back again.

CORONER'S EN-C2UEST.

Yesterday evening an inquest was hr.id in Ile drawing-room
of Mr. Grant's Boarding-house, in Little Doane's Yard,
Westminster Abbey, before Mr. Gall and a highly respectable
jury, on view of the body of the Rev. Frederick Grant, M. A.,
aged 35.

-Mrs. `Mary' Ann Jones was superintendant of the boarding
establishment of which Mr. Richard Grant, the father of the
deceased, was the proprietor. The deceased resided in the
house, his sacred duties being chiefly attached to St. John's
and St. Margaret's charc'nes. The, deceased left home about
two o'clock on the previous day, in apparent health, for.
the purpose of attending a meeting at the University Club.
(louse, in Pall-rnall East. Ile returned home between
six and seven o'cieck in the evening, when he complained
to witness of e. violent palpitation of the heart, and in-
quired of her twitness), whether she could not hear it
beat. Witne :s replied that she could not. The Reverend
Gentleman fnen placed witness's hand over his heart, and the
vibration w.is fearfully rapid. At seven o'clock the deceased sat
down to dir.ner. His appetite appeared as usual. He said
to witness during dinner, " Mark my words, whenever I die
it will be from an affection of the heart." After dinner he
declined taking his usual quantity of wine, which was two
gasses, as he thought it might tend to increase the palpita-
tion. Shorly after. dinner he was standing before the fire,
having just before taken cif his boots, when he suddenly stag-
gentd backwards ; at the same time witness observed that his
countenance changed. The unfortunate gentleman appeared.
to endeavour to reach the sofa, hut was unable, and fell beside
apparently lifeless. Mr. White, surgeon, of Parliament-
street, and another medical gentleman, promptly attended,
ind declared lite extinct. Mr. White attributed the 'de-
ceased's death to anuerisin of some of the large vessels of
the heart. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of Cod."

On Monda' night th(-! wife of Mr. Samuel Maltby,
bookkeeper to Sir. Brodie, cotton manufacturer, of this town,
gave birth to four children. One died immediately after 4.!
birth ; another in that course of it few minutes ; coil the other
two only survived a f:v hours.—M.-2, Maltby is doing 0!11.
r-litlaclibura Gazette,

Other accounts state that Mr. Davidson and his party tra-
velled in a parallel route some distance from, but ha-
hind, the caravan, which was met by it party of El [lard), who
were disappointed in not meeting Mr. David-.en, 1.-fr whom
they particularly inquired ; be, however, socia cattle up, when
he was instantly shot. From another report it i coosider,A
that El Harib was at first friendly, but seized the F.rst oppor..
tunity of destroying him treacherously at Shell 1:03, 20 dais'
journey from Wednoce, and about 27 dais' distance from
Timbuctoo.

The lamented decease cf this celebrated travellcr, at !cast
the seventh in African discovery, was very feelingly alluded
to by the Chairman, R. J. Murchison, Esq., and the meeting
sympathised in these feelings at the to-.s of a valuable member.
Mr. Davidson has long been known to the public from the
account of his travels in Mexico, Egypt, and the Holy Land,
and from having delivered lectures on these subjects at several
institutions. His loss will be sincerely deplored by a large
circle of friends, to whom be was no less endeared from his
scientific information than his amiable conduct.
