POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

130 TV- STREET.
Yesterday Elizabeth Ballard, who stands charged with
feloniously uttering a number of forged cheques, with in.
tent to defraud several noblemen and gentlemen, was
brought up for re-examination.

Mr. Wooller attended for the prisoner.
The only case gone into was that of Mr. Daniell, whose
wife proved that her husband left England for Bombay in
April last. In the beginning of June she was staffing of
5, George-street, Portman-square, and on the 11th 0.
that month, or at any other time, she did not send the prir
soner to the Masons' Arms public-house, in Uppe
Berkeley-street, to order bottles of stout for her, nor did
she give the cheque produced for 151. 10i. to pay for it.
The signature to the cheque was not in her handwriting
nor in that of her husband, nor did she ever see the pm.
soner before. Witness added that she had no account at
the banking house of Messrs. Coutts and Co.
TWYFORD said that as this case was complete, the
witness should be bound over, and the prisoner be fully
committed upon it, but in order to have other charges
brought against her she might be brought up again on
Monday next.
There were several persons in attendance with cheques
which had been passed to them by the prisoner, but as the
cases already taken were deemed to be sufficient for the
ends of justice, the Magistrate did nqt think it necessary
to have the evidence gone into until the prisoner would be
brought up again.

117 m. Danufrs, who stood charged on suspicion with
being concerned in forging the cherides in question. was
placed at the bar, and as no evidence was brought against
him, ho was ordered to be discharged.

hurses speech on T,
tack last night upon the Irish Municipal Bill, by adopting
the opinion of s supporter of it—Lord Brougham—relative
to the criminality of Ministers in not sending it up for
slaughter sooner. Their Lordships are so fond of the
work of mutilation, in which, upon this very subject they
have had such !;harp practice during late sessions, that
they are impatient of their prey. They cannot with ordi-
nary resignation wait while events take their course, and
bring them in progression due the liberal and much-needed
measure which is now to be added to the long list of their
victims. Their souls arc in arms, and eager for the fray.
Their appetite for destruction is in no respect palled by
repeated indulgences. They go to the old d6b of disgrace
with a new relish."
The Globe thus alludes to ;he Irish Municipal Reform
debate in the House of Lords on :Thursday:—•• We have
episcopal, legal, and soldier-statesmen in the Lords ; and
we want a few more statesmnt these. We want a few
more men who can take a view of polities unsophisticated
by the prejudices more or less inseparable from our privi-
leged order. The course of the Lords, un.4er theiror;hreer
sent guidance, is retrograde; and we should need no
__.
proof of this than the language of Lords Lynth.'er." *"
