POLICE INTELLIGENGE.

B 0 TV- STREET.
Charles Cormach, the notorious common informer, who,
with his myrmidons, regularly infest the above office for two
or three hours every Saturday, that being the day selected by
them for having their informations disposed of, was on Satur-
day "called to the bar," at the instance of George Ruthven,
one of the officers of this establishment, who stated that on the
previous evening the defendant came into the Marquis of An.

glesea public-house opposite the office, in a state of beastly
intoxication, and made use of the most disgusting language
in the hearing of the landlady of the house. When witness
remonstrated with him on the impropriety of his conduct, he
said "He did not care a d—n for any officer," making
use of an epithet which no man would suffer to be applied to
him, upon which witness put him outside the door, where he
repeated the offensive expression, and witness then took him
to the station-house. The landlady of the house, and other
witnesses confirmed Ruthven's statement. The defendant
pleaded intoxication as an excuse for his conduct.
The Magistrate inquired whether the defendant had ever
misconducted himself in a similar manner before ; and, on re-
ceiving an answer in the affirmative, ordered him to find bail
himself in twenty pounds, and two sureties in ten pounds, t
be of good behaviour for one month.
Defendant—Won't you be satisfied with my cognizance
be bail to any amount you like.
Mr. Mt ; and, if you don't find the require
sureties to-day, you stand committed for one month to the
House of Corection.

Defendant—Oh Lord I oh Lord 1 I'll never do so any more.
I'll apologise to every body, I'll beg every body's pardon.
Mr. MINSHULL—You, who bring so many people before me
for breaches of the law, must and shall be made to suffer when
you are guilty of bad conduct yourself.
Defendant—Do look ever it—Oh, oh I do, your Worship I
have business to attend to to-day—Oh ! do.—(lt was here
stated that the defendant had summoned a host of tradesmen,
for placing casks on the footway pavement; and that, if he
failed to attend, the charges against them would be dis-
missed, and the defendant, consequently, minus the costs out
of pocket.) _ _ _

Mr. NltNsiitu.L—Take him away, and lock him up.
Defendant—Do, Sir, settle the case summerly (summarily),
and I'll pay any fine you like.
Mr. MINSIICILL—I shall not alter your sentence.
The defendant was then removed.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Henry M'Farrar charged his wife with assaulting him. The
poor husband, a respectable middle-aged man, appeared as
grave as a Judge, and evidently was in awe of his better half,
a sharp, tartar-looking, dark-eyed, little woman, who kept
dancing about, evidently longing to have another claw at him.
Only nino weeks ago to-day (said the complainant), this
woman swore to love, honour, and obey me.
Wife (biting her lip and fidgetting about)—Yes, and I'll
make you do the same to me. You are not going out and
coming in when you like, I can tell you.
The Magistrates desired her to keep quiet if she possibly
could, which they much doubted, and listen to the evidence.
Wife—And he shall listen to me too.

Husband—lf I were to tell you all the evils which I have
been subjected to through my unfortunate connection with that
woman it would tako me two or three hours ; but to save your
worships' time, and the interruptions which would be made by
my wife—

Wife—Certainly—You know I'm not to be made to hold my
tongue.

The Magistrates wore again obliged to interfere.
Husband—To cut the matter short, she is tormenting me
morning and night ; and yesterday, as I was walking through
the streets with a gentleman, she poured upon me a volley of
abuse, collected a mob, and tried to scratch my eyes out.
Wife— Serve you right. Why were you not at home with
me? You were going after some dirty hussy, I've do doubt.
The Magistrates observed that it would be labour in vain
for them to endeavour to keep her mouth closed, and make her
hear reason, so they should order her to find bail.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Madame Lumley, a French milliner, carrying on business at
No. 18, Ebury-strect, Pimlico, was charged before Mr. DYER,
with shoplifting.

An officer pi;duced a quantity of lengths of silk found at
the prisoner's house.
Mr. DYER observed that he should order it to remain in the
officer's hands for a week. The prisoner he should fully com-
mit on the above charge, and he should order her to be brought
up again next Saturday, in case anything else was brought for-
ward against her.—The prisoner, who appeared dreadfully
agitated, gave her name at first Marie Andre,

MARYLEBONE.
A labouring man, named Thomas Waith, was placed at the
bar before Mr. SHUTT, charged by Mr. Charles Knapp, a
pawnbroker's salesman, at 167, Edgeware-road, with robbery'.
The prisoner was committed for six weeks to the House of
Correction.

Q UEEN SQL LARE.
DEFEAT OF INFORMERS.—The office was honoured by the
attendance of Byers, Digby, Stapleton, Burn, and varioug
other informers, to prefer informations against stage-coach
and omnibus proprietors for alleged infringements of the law.
With the exception of one case, the informers were. com-
pletely beaten, and left the office apparently much discomfited
at the result of their day's work. The principal conviction
obtained was against Richard Burton, the driver of a post-
chaise belonging to Mr. Blizard, of llounslow, who was
summoned by Digby for plying for hire on his return from
London to Hounslow. lie was fined 205., and 13s. Gd. costs.
