POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CLERKENIVELL.—A youth of aenteel appearance
and address, who gave his name William Fellowes, a
native of New York, applied to Mr. Corrie under the
following circumstances.
Applicant said that some time ago he took it into his
head to pay a visit to the "Great Metropolis," to gratify
his curiosity. He brought a little money with him.
Since his arrival he had parted with his money ; he
could not get any employment, and he was driven to
destitution and starvation, and having no place to rest
his head in, he was anxious to get back to his own coun-
try, where he had a father and mother living. He shed
tears.
Mr. Corrie suggested that he should call on the Ame-
rican consul, and if .he could satisfy him that his story
was true, he might assist in getting him back to his na-
tive country.
On the same day he returned with a certificate from
the consul stating that applicant was a citizen of

Am erica.
Mr. Corrie thought him very silly to come such a
distance without some permanent object. However,
if he would go to the captain of an American vessel
which was about to sail, and try to get out at a cheap
rate, he (Mr. Corrie) would assist him.
It was arranged that an officer should accompany him
to the vessel, and see him off comfortably, Mr. Corrie
humanely advancing the means.

MABYLEBONE.—John Guest, a house painter, was
charged with having committed a rape on Margaret
Daly, aged 24.
Prosecutrix said—l am a servant out of place. I was
employed yesterday morning at 12, Cumberland-street,
Bryanston-square, in getting the house in proper order
for the family, some of whom are expected in town to-day.
I was in the back room on the first floor polishing the
grate, when the prisoner, who had been engaged in
cleaning windows in the room adjoining, entered the
apartment in which I was, quite unaware, and pulled
me back violently upon the floor. I struggled as hard
as I could to get away from him, and began to call out,
but he stifled my cries by putting his hand over my
mouth. Prosecutrix here gave further evidence to show
that the prisoner had effected the commission of a capital
offence. She added that she at length succeeded in re-
moving the hand of the prisoner from her mouth, and
screamed with all her might, as she did at intervals as well
as she could thine he was effecting his object. She kept
struggling all the time most violently. He pulled her
into the front room, at which time she was in a weak
and almost fainting condition, and she ultimately made
her way down stairs to the hall door, when the prisoner
came after her, dragged her forcibly into the butler's
pantry, and there threw over her a quantity of water.
He had his arm round me and kept on kissing me, and
told me to hold my tongue. I was then screaming
loudly.
Mr. Broughton—Were there any other persons in the
house besides you and prisoner ?
Prosecutrix—Only a child, sir, about two years old.
The mother, who had care of the premises during the
family's absence, bad gone out.
Prisoner—Were you not in my arms on the sofa the
same morning ?
Prosecutrix—No ; I'll swear I was not.
Prisoner—Did you not tell me you were in the family
way ?
Prosecutrix—l never said anything of the sort.
Prisoner—Are you with child ?
Prosecutor—l am not.

Burton, 82 D—l live at 11, Cumberland-street, next
door to where the prosecutrix was working. At half-
past ten yesterday morning I was in the yard and heard
a tremendous screaming in No. 12. It continued for
some time, and I at last thought from the sound that
some one was being stifled. I went to the front door,
and tried to force it open, but could not. A consider.
able crowd had assembled. I got over the area-gate,
and finding the kitchen door unfastened, made my way
into the pantry, where I found the prosecutrix st►ll
screaming. The prisoner had hold of her, and was kiss-
ing her. I asked him what was the matter, and he re-
plied, " Oh, its only the woman making a noise."
Upon my questioning him further, he said, "The fact
is, the stool slipped and threw me down against her."
Her face was wet, and the upper part of her dress was
saturated with water ; her hair was also dishevelled.
In the room up stairs, which she pointed out, I observed
that everything was in such disorder as to satisfy me
that a struggle had taken place. Witness added, that in
consequence of other particulars communicated to him
by the prosecutrix, he conveyed the prisoner to the
station-house in Marylebone-lane, where the charge
was taken by Inspector Jackson, by whose directions he
went with prosecutrix to Mr. Wilson, Baker-street,
Portman-square. _ _

-- . -
Mr. Wilson, who examined prosecutrix, gave evidence
of recent bruises upon the legs and one of the arms, and
some further particulars which left no doubt of the
commission of the crime imputed to the prisoner.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was fully com•
mitted for trial.
