POLICE INTELLIG2NCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
A cobler, named. Lee, was charged by Mr. Jones, the
iestry clerk of the parish of St. Stephen's, Coleman-str&t,
with having deserted his wile, so that she became charge-
able to the parochial funds.. The defendant appeared to
be upwards of GO years of age.
Mrs: Lee had been married to her husband thirty-seven
years, and had had by him eleven children, all of whom
were dead except one, who was in such a state of health
as not to be able to support himself. Tne defendant had,
hotwithstanding the long time they had been tied together,
f. late taken in exchange for her company that of a young
woman, who was called Miss Angel, with whom he lived
night and day.
The overseer of the parish said that the defendant had
frequently abandoned the poor woman, although well able
to support her and his diseased son too.
Derindant,--It was because she left me that I left she,
and I-don't live with no young woman or angel either.
Mrs. Lee—Miss Angel is come here, my Lord, to see
bow he'll get out of this here mess. There she stands, in
the crowd behind him, with a pekooliandirty face.
The LORD MAvon—Let us see this dirty-faced angel.—
(A laugh.)
Here a young woman, with a very unwashed counte-
nance., hands and arms, and baby, stepped forward, and said
that her name was Angel, but she didn't pretend to be no
rich character.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you know that old man at the
bar ? Miss Angel—Know him ! Yes ; I should think I
do ; I've seed the gentleman afore.
The LORD MAYOR—Whose child is that you have in
your arms ?—lt's my own, to be sure. You're not a-going
to as tne to swear it, are you ?
The LORD MAYOR—IS it that old man's ? Come,
answer me. Miss Angel—Well, it is his'n. As I ain't cn
my oath, I may tell the truth, 1 suppose.
The LORD MAYOR—Defendant, what have you to say
now ? DefendEnt—Say I why, my Lord, I seems to be
mixed up with a very tidy lot.--(Laughter.)
One of the officers— When expostulated with, he said
he was a sad wietint to the tender passion, and he was
hlow'd if he'd ever throw away a thought upon his old ooman
again.

Mrs. Lee—Ay, he may talk against his old woman, but
if he was with me I would'nt let him out in so filthy a
con-
dition. You see, my Lord, they're both of one colour.
The LORD MAYOR—I think we are getting worse and
worse. It was only the other day a cobbler put the lives
of the people in jeopardy by making a cab-driver drunk ;
and here is a cobbler causing misery by licentious practices
of another description.
Defendant—l have been rather weak, please your Lord-
ship, but I'll make amends.
The LORD MAYOR—HOW Will you make amends?
Defendant—l'll work like a new un. I'm blest if I don't
go it like a reg'lar trump.
The LORD MAYOR—No, it won't do. I'll try and mend
that tender passion by which you are afflicted. Depend
upon it, you shan't see your angel again for three months,
unless she is able to fly to your arms over the walls of
liridewell.—(Laughtcr.)
Committed to hard labour for three months.

DUKE OF YORK.—A Meeting of the Committee
o' the creditors of the Duke of York was on Saturday held at
the Thatched-house Tavern, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the position in which the affairs of the creditors
at large are now placed in consequence of the recent decision
of the Vice-Chancellor, confirming tia;± rights of the executors
of his Royal Highness to the mines of Nova Scotia, including
those of Cape Breton. Reference was had to the letter of Mr.
Spring-Rice, dated the Sth of February, 1836, in answer to
one sent to him by direction of the Committee by Messrs.
Amory and Coles, in which he was called upon to recognize
the right of the Duke of York to the mines in question, and is which he stated " that it was the opinion of Lord Melbourae
and himself that the Government would not be warraw.ed in
adopting the course suggested by the creditors unless ;upon the
authority of a legal decision." " No authority," sai-Ithe Right
her,. Gentleman, " less conclusive than that of a Supreme
Court of Justice would warrant a departure f.:om arrangements
which incidentally have been communicated to the public and
to Parliament." The Committee came to the resolution that
Messrs. Amory and Coles should again write to Mr. Spring
Rice to ascertain whether any and what new impediment was
to he offered on the part of the Crown to the immediate ad-
justment of the long and cruelly protracted claims of the un-
fortunate persons to whom the Duke of York died indebted.
with a view to conveying this information to the body of cre-
ditors at large for whom they were acting. The Cornmittee
then adjourned to Saturday next, by which day it is expected
the answer of Mr. Spring Rice will be obtained.
