POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
Among the disorderlies was Ann Cheshire, the
wife of the late hangman. As she had been drunk
every day since the demise of her husband, and of
course unable to appear before the Magistrates to
depose to her parish settlement, she had been given
into custody on Wednesday night to ensure her being
sober at the sitting of the Magistrate yesterday
morning. _

An circler was made for passing her to Isleworch.

Charles Whiterow, a respectable-looking youth,
about IS years of age, was charged with attempting
to violate Dinah Little.

The complainant is a young girl, in the service of
Mr. White, a linendraper, at No. 41, Osnaburg-
street North, Regent's-park, and the defendant is
employed in his shop. She stated that on Wed-
nesday night her master and mistress went out to
spend the evening, and she sat up late to keep her
fellow-servant company. At about half-past eleven,
her fellow-servant went up stairs to turn down the
beds, and she sat in the kitchen with her head re-
clined upon a table, and Charles came suddenly be-
hind her, and after seizing her two hands with one
of his, and stopping her mouth with the other, he
forced her into his bed-room, which was adjoining,
and made a violent attempt upon her of the descrip-
tion above-mentioned. She was unable to scream,
or call the other servant to her assistance, but she
made all the resistance in her power, and prevented
him from completing his intention; and at length
the other servant came down, and he desisted.
In answer to some questions by Mr. HOSKINS,
she said he had occasionally used impudent expres-
sions, but never assaulted her before. He offered
ss. to induce her to consent, and two silk handker-
chiefs, but she would not.
The other servant, Kitty Claney, was then called
into the Magistrate's office and examined. She was
in the chamber, two flight of stairs above the kitchen,
when she heard a noise of feet, as if one person was
scuffling with another; she pulled off her shoes, that
she might not be heard, and went down to the door
of the defendant's bed room and stopped there and
listened, and she heard Charles and Dinah use the
following expressions :—Dinah, " I shan't, Charles;
Charles, have done." Charles Keep quiet,
you fool, I shan't hurt you," &e. She pushed the
door open and found they were in the dark, and she
fetched a candle from the kitchen, and was going
into the room, but Charles came to the door of it,
with his dress in disorder, and closed it against her;
she put her hand between the door and the door
post, and although he pressed it and bruised it very
much, she declared she, would not draw it back until
he opened the door. lie suffered her to open the
door, and she gave him a slap in the face and called

him a nasty dirty boy. She went round the bed
and found her fellow-servant standing by the side of
it, putting on her cap, and she gave her a blow on
the shoulder, and asked, for goodness sake, what
had they been about ? and this morning she told her
mistress of it, and her master had Charles taken up.
Mr. and Mrs. White were present, and Mr.
RamiNsoN asked Mrs. White whether the servant
Kitty's statement at the office corresponded with the
account she in the first instance received from her.
She said it did.

Mr. llosms had some private conversatioa with
'kir. White, and then ordered the gaoler to lock up
the defendant, and the witnesses to attend again at
seven o'clock in the evening.
In the evening Mr. IlosittNs considered it better
to postpone the further hearing of the case till this
day, but he told Mr. White, and some friends of the
defendant who came to the office with him, that he
would not send him to prison, hut have him taken
for the night to the watch-house.

• The defendant, in answer to the charge, said the
girl had been rolling on the floor, with her clothes
half-way up her legs, lle told her to take the child
out of his room, that he might go to bed. She said
she would not, but would lay down too; she threw
herself upon the bed, and that tempted him to follow
her, and take some liberties.
