POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—AnneMack was brought up charged
with cutting and wounding Mary Ann Fitz with a razor,
with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm.
The prosecutrix said that about half-past nine o'clock
on Monday evening she was at the corner of Oxford
Arms-passage, in Warwick-lane, when the prisoner came
up and asked if she had anything to say to her. Prose-
cutrix replied that she had not, and the prisoner then
said she (prosecutrix) was wanted down the passage.
She asked who wanted her, but the prisoner refused to
tell her, upon which the prosecutrix declined to go. The
prisoner immediately drew one hand from under her
shawl, and threw a quantity of pepper into her (prose-
cutrix's) eyes, and then, with the other hand, she pro-
duced an open razor, with which she endeavoured to cut
prosecutrix's throat. She, however, succeeded in parry-
ing the blow with her hand, which got frightfully lace-
rated, and several of the fingers were cut nearly off, but,
notwithstanding, the razor wounded her slightly in the
neck and on the breast, and cut the clothing that covered
her shoulders. Prosecutrix bled very much, and she was
taken to the hospital, where she had her wounds dressed.
She had had no quarrel with the prisoner beyond having
seen her in her own (prosecutrix's) room on Sunday
night, and told her to quit it immediately.
Thomas Bailey said he saw the prisoner and prosecu-
trix struggling together in the street, and observing an
open razor in the prisoner's hand, and the prosecutrix
bleeding, he interfered, and the prisoner allowed him to
take the razor from her, and he afterwards gave it up to
the officer at the station.

Susan Marshall, the housekeeper at the Smithfield
station, said she searched the prisoner, and found on her
a door key and a razor case. The prisoner told her she
bought the razor in the morning for the express purpose
of cutting the prosecutrix's throat, and that she pur-
chased it in St. Paul's-churchyard.
The prisoner, in her defence, said that the prosecutrix
followed her about on Sunday evening, and called her
"a good for nothing -," and told every one that she
wished to stab her, and she (prosecutrix) wanted her to
do it, and that was the reason why she tried to cut her
throat. She was also instigated to do so by the prose-
cutrix accusing her of seducing her (prosecutrix's) hus-
band.

Sir Chapman Marshall committed the prisoner for
trial.

MARYLEBONE.—WiIIiam Earl, a watchmaker,
9, Caledonian-road, Islington, was charged with having,
by false pretences, endeavoured to obtain 501. from the
London and North-Western Railway Company.
William Gardner, railway porter at the Leighton Buz-
zard Station, said that on the sth of May the prisoner,
with another man, arrived by train from-Dunstable. He
came up to witness, and said that he wanted to leave a
carpet bag. Witness asked him if he wished to book it
He replied that he did, upon which witness gave him a
ticket. He and his companion then left him. They had
with them also a blue bag and a box. The prisoner re-
turned and asked•for his bag. Witness gave it to him,
and received the ticket. The prisoner remarked that he
believed there was a train to Bedford at 20 minutes past
twelve o'clock. Witness stated that there was not.
The, prisoner then put the carpet bag, the blue bag, and
the box near the scales on the platform, and asked for
the ticket. In the hurry of business witness gave him
the ticket, but omitted to talc" the carpet bag, as he
ought to have done, and which he should have placed in
the office. Witness after this went to dinner, leaving
the prisoner and his companion on the platform. He
was relieved by Hall, another porter. The down train
to Leighton Buzzard was due at half-past one o'clock.
On witness's return, that train was in sight. At that
time witness saw Hall take the blue bag and the box
across the line for the down train. The prisoner and
his companion also crossed the line, and one of them
had the carpet bag.
By Mr. Humphreys—No complaint was made by the
prisoner or his companion as to the carpet bag being
missing. The first time I heard of one being lost was
on the following Sunday, the Bth ult.
Mr. Beresford said that on Wednesday, the 19th ult.,
he went to 9, Caledonian-road, and found there a man
of the name Gwyn, a police-sergeant, in the service of
the company, at Oxford. It had, been previously ar-
ranged that he should be in the house. He was taken
into custody by witness on the assumed charge of felony,
for stealing some carpenter's tools in the country. Gwyn
was in plain clothes. Witness went into an inner room
at the back of the house, which is a coffee shop, and was
admitted by the prisoner. Witness there observed two
carpet bags, which the prisoner admitted was his pro-
property. 'After some conversation with the prisoner,
witness told him that he should take him into custody
for attempting by false and fraudulent representations
to obtain 50/. from the North-Western Railway Com-
pany.
Wm. Hall, the porter, said that on the down train
alluded to appearing, the companion of the prisoner
pointed to the luggage near the seales, and took the
carpet bag. Witness put the blue bag and the box into
the luggage van.
Edward Varney, porter at the Oxford Station, said
that on the day in question the prisoner alighted from a
down train. He gave witness a carpet bag, and received
a ticket. He then stated to witness that he had booked
a bag at Leighton similar to the one he gave witness,
for which a ticken was given to him ; and that he subse-
quently applied for it, when it was gone, and all the
satisfaction he could get was that, when it was found, it
would be sent to him. A man named Hanns, two days
after, produced the ticket, and had the bag.
Mr. John Simonds, Pembroke-street, Oxford, watch-
maker, said that the prisoner called upon him on Thurs-
day or Friday, the sth or 6th of May. He asked for
employment, and said that he, had lost a carpet bag, in
which were all the implements of his trade, with his
wearing apparel. He asked witness if he could not pro-
ceed against the railway company for compensation, and
observed that the contents of the bag was worth 501.
Witness said he would refer him to a solicitor, with
whom the prisoner had a conversation upon the subject.
He (the solicitor) wrote a letter to the secretary of the
company. [The letter was produced, the purport of it
being that the prisoner required compensation to the
amount of 501. for the loss of the carpet bag and its con-
tents] In a few days after the prisoner called upon him
and observed that he had settled with the solicitor, but
was afraid there was no chance for his carpet bag. The
solicitor, a few days after, made a claim upon witness for
the expense incurred on account of the prisoner.
By Mr. Broughton—lt is not usual for workmen at
the watch and clock trade in the country to have tools of
their. own. The prisoner showed me an inventory of the
articles which, he alleged, were in the carpet bag. Some
of them were most entraordinary tools, such as I have
never seen. The price of an ordinary, set of tools would
be about 301.

Mr. Beresford produced a mahogany box, and a red
morocco case which contained a quantity of watch-
maker's tools, that were found in the bags taken by him
at the prisoner's lodgings. He also produced a suit of
clothes.

The prisoner was remanded to have the depositions
taken. Bail was required, himself in 1001., and two
sureties in 601. each.

WESTMINSTER.—CharIa Cooper, a boy only 11
years of age, was charged with robbing his mother.
The prosecutrix, a respectable-looking widow, com-
plained, with terrs in her eyes, that she was reluctantly
compelled to bring her son before the magistrate. It
was impossible to keep him at home, or anything that
could be disposed of. She had no sooner turned her
back than he made away with every article he could lay
his hands upon, and having disposed of every other port-
able thing, had absolutely disposed of the saucepans in
which she cooked food for her family. If she trusted
him with money to fetch any thing, she never saw him
again until he had spent it ; and she really did not know
what to do with him.

The accused, who heard his unhappy mother's state-
ment without exhibiting 'the slightest concern, was re-
manded.

THAMES.—Two lads, named George Lee, aged 17,
and William Bottomley, 18, of Collingwood-terrace,
Bethnal-green, were charged with violating the person
of a girl named Frances Brown, aged 14.
The prosecutrix stated• that she was a servant, but
now living at home. About fifteen minutes before ten
on Sunday night she was knocking at the door of her
}Acme, when the prisoner and two other lads came up
and pulled her away from the door. She told them to
go away but they would not, and forced her into Globe-
fields, Mile-end-road, about half a mile distant, where
they behaved very rudely to her, and tried to throw her
on the grass 4 but. she resisted them, and they forced her
against a wall and asked her to walk farther with them,
which she refused to do. The girl then described the out-
rage committed upon her, and said Lee first violated her
and then Bottomley and another lad in succession.
There was a fourth youth present who did not
molest her. The prisoner Lee then saw her home to
her mother's door. It was one o'clock when she reached
home, and she hesitated about going home at such an
unseasonable hour, but Lee said the longer she stopped
the later it would be, and she had better go in at once.
She then went into the house. On the following evening
she made known to a female in the house how she had
been treated by the prisoners, and that person told her
aunt of it. _ _ _

_
In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, she said she
passed a great many persons on the way from her pa-
rent's house to the field. She did not speak to any one.
The prisoners and their companions had hold of her
arms, and forced her along.
Mr. Yardley asked the girl repeatedly why she had
not spoken or called out to some of the numerous per-
sons whom she passed on the way to the field, but could
not obtain a single word in reply.
Lee, after receiving the usual caution from the magis-
trate, said that nearly every word spoken by the girl was
false, and that sbe was a consenting party to the whole
transaction, never making the least resistance, or calling
out to any one; that she passed several police constables
on the way to the field, and selected her own road, ad-
vising him and his companions to pass by a church where
the bobbies (meaning the police) would not see them.
She was just knocking at her mother's door, and he and
three others went up to her. She said "Halloo, George,"
and called him away, and said, "Have you seen Harry
Bottomley," his fellow-prisoner's brother, and he said
'Yes." She then told him that she had been with
Harry Bottomley in the fields, and had some nice butter
cakes in her pocket ; and she also said that a particular
intercourse had taken place between her and Harry Bot-
tomley. She then walked along with him and the others
to Globe-fields, and freely consented to all that took
place.
Mr. Yardley questioned the prosecutrix on the pri-
soner Lee's statement. She admitted that he saw her
home after leaving the field, and that she had been pre-
viously taking a walk with Harry Bottomley. Moss,
not in custody, gave her 2d., and she gave the money
back to William Bottomley. She ran away two or three

times, and the prisoners and Moss brought her back
again, and forced her to consent to their wishes.
Lee—lt is false. She walked quietly to the field, and
never offered to run away ; and she gave the money to
William Bottomley, and said she was afraid her mother
would hear it rattle.

Martha Hoy, a married woman, said, on Monday
evening, about eight o'clock, her niece first told her three
lads had abused her person. The girl was crying all
night, and said the young men forced her into a corner
of the field.

Daniel Smith, a police-constable, 215 K, said he took
Lee into custody. and upon acquainting him with the
charge he said, "Won't the others be charged as well
as me ?" The girl charged Bottomley, Lee, and Moss,
with rape, and said they were all equally guilty.
*John Brown, a' mechanic, said his daughter was 14
years and a few months old, and generally a very well-
conducted girl. He heard of the outrage on his daugh
ter for the first time on Monday night, and from his wife
and her sister told him there was every proof she had
been violated.

Mr. Yardley could not help saying the girl's conduct
was most extraordinary, and that she might have ap-
pealed to the people she passed on her way to the field
for protection.
Police-sergeant Fouke, 27 K, who took the
charge at the station-house, was. called and asked
why the girl had not been subjected to a
medical examination, and he said he had strongly
recommended that course to the father of the girl
on Monday night. lie also said, in answer to another
question, that the girl .must have passed several police-
men on her way from Collingwood-terrace to Globe-
fields, and that she passed through two or three much
frequented streets: _

icir. Yardley—And made no complaint. On the pri-
soners own showing it is a most disgusting and pro-
fligate piece of business. The best thing is for the
police-surgeon to examine the girl, and let me know
what he says. I shall remand the prisoners till Thursday.
A certificate from Mr. Horton, surgeon, of High-
street, Stepney, was subsequently handed to Mr. Yard-
ley, stating there were no marks of violence whatever on
the girl.

IMPERIAL PARLIAME.NT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

DRUMMOND'S (DUKE DE MELFORT'S)
RESTITUTION BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read-
ing of this bill, the object of which, he explained, was to
reverse the attainder passed against the Earls of Perth,
for their share in the rebellions of 1715 and 1745. The
earldom was originally created by James 1., and was
settled on heirs male, and was at present vested in'the re-
presentatives of the Dukes of Melfort, who were descend-
ants from a branch of the Drummond family which had
settled in France.

Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham and Lord Camp-
bell expressed their approval of the bill.
The Earl of ABERDEEN stated that the present
claimant had served her Majesty in the army for Many
years, and had therefore given proof of his personal
oyalty.:

The bill was then read a third time.
PAYMENT OF WAGES IN SCOTLAND.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petitionTrom certain
manufacturers in Glasgow on the subject of the laws of
arrestment of wages for debt in Scotland.

After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the LORD
CHANCELLOR,
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
The Earl of HARROWBY presented petitions from
various Chambers of Commerce, praying for the assimi-
lation of the mercantile law throughout the United
Kingdom.

Lord CAMPBELL said that no doubt the courts both
of law and equity were capable of improvement, but he
deplored the absurdity brought forward by chambers of
commerce in regaid to the establishment of local tribu-
nals for the adjudication of mercantile questions and
disputes.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that local tribunals
of commerce were entirely out of the question.
The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS--(YESTERDAY. )
There being only a few members present, the SPEAKER
declared the house adjourned till to-morrow.

SMILES.—Oh ! what a sight there is in that word—
smile—for it changes colour like a cameleon. There's a
vacant smile, a cold smile, a satiric smile, a smile of hate,
an affected smile, a smile of approbation, a friendly
smile, but, above all, a smile of love. A woman bas two
smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts
the lover afore words are uttered, and the smile that
lights on the first-born baby, and assures him of a mo-
ther's love.—Sam Slick's Wise Saws.

30, 1853.—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir, Your oint-
ment and pills have effected upon me a perfect cure of a
dreadfully diseased throat, arising from cold, which ul-
timately terminated in bronchitis. The medical aid I
received was unable to combat with the disease, and I
was rapidly sinking under its influence. At this stage
I had recourse to your medicines, which in a few hours
relieved me, and I am happy to inform you, that in less
than a fortnight I was entirely cured by them."— Sold
