POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A well-dressed young man,
named Charles Freclerich, Barrett, was brought before
Sir R. W. Carden, charged with having committed an
aggravated assault on Guy Fawkes night.
Monger, of the detective police, said on Saturday
night as I was on duty in Trinity-square, Tower-hill, in
plain clothes, a man came up to me with a very large
Aquib, which was then lighted in his hand, and took my
hat off. He put the squib to my thigh and burned me
very much, I told him that I was a police officer, and
that I would lock him up in the station house. At that
moment the defendant came up and caught me by the
skirt of the coat. I said to him, "Do not interfere as
lam a police officer, and am taking him to the station
house." He said, " I'm d—d if you shall take him."
A crowd of people then surrounded me, and with the
defendant rescued the man from me. I then took hold
of the defendant, and said I would lock him up. . He
resisted me as much as he could, and I called for assist-
ance. There were 300 or 400 people round me at the
time. My hat was lost, and my coat torn from my back,
I took the defendant to the station house.
The correctness of the officer's statement was con-
firmed by the evidence of two witnesses, who, upon
being called in the Queen's name to assist him, gave
their aid accordingly. They said the- defendant was
striking the officer, and that upon giving him their help
they were knocked about unmercifully themselves.
Monger—l asked a metropolitan policeman to assist
me, and he refused, but kept walking behind us for
some time, _ . . . . .. - . ..

The defendant—l was loolsing at the fireworks, and
was pushed about by the crowd ; and when the, man whom
the officer had in custody escaped through the inter-
ference of the mob, the officer took me into custody. I
tried to get away, and two policemen refused to take
me into custody.
Monger—l believe the officer who refused to assist
me said the defendant was a friend of his.
Sir R. W. Carden said the offence of which it was
obvious the defendant was guilty was one of a most
serious character, as affected the security of the public
peace, and it NI as the more dangerous as the assailant
was a person of respectable appearance, whose example
would find many followers in a mob assembled on such
a night. was happy to observe that there were two
persons on the spot who knew that it was their duty,
upon being called in the Queen's name, to assist the
police, and it was his intention to order their expenses
to be paid. The defendant must go to Holloway for
21 days.
The defendant—Won't your lordship be satisfied with
inffictinc, a money fine ?
Sir R. W. Carden—No, you must go to Holloway
for this offence.

A man named O'Connor, who had been lately work-
ing in Kent, was put to the bar.
Balchin (of the detective police) said—l apprehended
the prisoner at pawnbroker's shop, upon being in-
formed that he had offered a gold watch and massive
gold chain for sale. He said he had given 100 dollars
for the article in America. At the station-house he
said he gave 50 dollars for it.
Prisoner—lf I didn't my sister-in-law did, and that's
all the same, isn't it ?
Sir R. W. Carden—Not exactly. I remand the case
that strict inquiry may be made.
The watch, which is very small, was considerably
bruised as if it had suffered by a fall in a struggle.
Upon the back of it is a spirited representation of a
fight between a tiger and a serpent.

GUILDHALL.—A salesman, named Reynolds, in
Newgate Market, was summoned by the inspectors of
meat, for exposing for sale the body of a sheep that was
unfit for human food.
It appeared that one of the inspectors perceiving the
rotten condition of the meat in question, inquired the
price of it, and the defendant, not recognising him, and
believing he had caught a good customer, offered to
let him have the lot at 24d. per lb., upon which the in-
spector seized the whole of it.
Alderman Lawrence said the defendant had been
guilty of a very serious offence in offering meat for sale
that was unfit for food, and he therefore fined him 40i.
and 4s. costs.

CLERKENWELL.—CharIes Bill and Edward May-
nard alias Edward Clarke, were charged by Mr. James
Seward, master tailor, of No. 30, Remmington-street,
City-road, with having burglariously entered his dwel-
ling:house.

The prosecutor deposed that on Sunday night last he
was sitting with his wife ine the kitchen of his house,

Place had been rifled, and property to a considerable
amount was found in the shop packed up, and all ready
to be removed from the premises. Mr. Joseph Clarke
and his wife heard the cries of " Murder, and went to
the prosecutor's house. They positively identified both
prisoners. Maynard threatened that be would wait
upon them if it was 12 months to come.
The officers identified the prisoners as notorious con-
victed thieves, and they were fully committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE.—A respectably attired man, who
gave his name as Williams Martin„ was charged with
having conspired with Rosenthal Cruchley, a prisoner
for debt, to defraud Caroline Onslow' a clergyman's
widow, since married, and now named Burton, No. 55,
Gloucester-place, Portman-square, of a considerable sum
of money by means of false and fraudulent representa-
tions.
The case was remanded, the prisoner being allowed
to put in bail• for his re-appearance, himself in 3001.
and two sureties in 1501. each.
Mr.d Lewis begged that notice of bail might be given,
an
24 hours were therefore required.

SOUTHWARK.— William, Snow,
an old man dressed
in a seedy suit of black, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with stealing a piece of pork from
the shop of Mr. Thomas Crocker, butcher,
Burlington-
place, Old Kent-road.
Eliza. Reacher, the wife of a mechanic,-said she was
purchasing some meat of Mr. Crocker on Saturday even-
ing, when she saw the prisoner, who was standing on the
other side of her, take a piece of pork off the board and
and deliberately wrap it up in an old handkerchief and

walk away with it. She instantly gave information, and
he was pursued and brought back with the pork which
she saw him steal.
The prisoner denied all knowledge 'of the'meat, or
ever having it in his possession. The last witness must
be mistaken as to his identity.
Mr. A'Beckett committed him for trial at the next
Surrey Sessions.

his wife Bridget. The woman was lying in the London
Hospital, and a certificate was put in stating that she
was in great danger.
Mary Wells, an elderly woman said the prisoner and
his wife lived in her house. On Sunday evening she
heard a violent altercation in the prisoner's room, fol-
lowed by a noise as if the furniture was being thrown
about. That was succeeded by a heavy fall, and the
prisoner soon • afterwards left the house. Everything
was quiet for ten minutes, and witness becoming alarmed
went upstairs and repeatedly knocked at the room door.
No answer being returned, and finding that the room
door was locked, she forced it open. Mrs. M'Namara
was lying face downwards, weltering in her blood, and
apparently lifeless. Witness sent for a doctor, who at-
tended to the woman, and dressed her wounds. She
never opened her lips after she was found in the state
described.

Elijah Long, a police constable, No. 380 K, took the
prisoner into custody in a beer shop. In reference to
the charge, he said it had all happened through his wife's
tongue she had got what she had, and if she had as
much more it would have served her right.
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner till Wednesday.

SOHAIL

Up to the 6th inst. 29 fatal cases of cholera had
occurred. A partial and deceptive lull in the progress
of the epidemic appears to have taken place in the middle
of last week, but the disease began again to reassume its
virulent form during the night of the 4th. An old man
who at four o'clock p.m. held the horse of one of the
medical officers while he entered the house to visit a pa-
tient, and who then said that he was perfectly well,
although it afterwards appeared that at that very time
he was labouring under premonitory symptoms, was
taken ill in the night, .and notwithstanding all medical
aid, died in the morning. " When shortly afterwards I
inspected the house," says Dr. Waller Lewis, "I found
his three grandchildren all dangerously ill, two of them
with only slight chances of recovery. The house was
one of those which I bad
,previously described as
wretched and dirty in the extreme." There are at pre-
sent under treatment diarrbcea, 82; approaching cholera,
2 ; cholera, 4. In Waterside alone there are 24 ;in
Bull-lane, 20.
