POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MaxsioN-HousE.—Sir Charles Doyle summoned a fellow
named Norman, the driver of a stage coach, for having wilfully
driven up against him in the Poultry, to the imminent danger
of his person.
.Sir Charles stated, that as he was riding through the city a
few (lays age, he met the defendant, who was driving a stage
coach. Sir Charles was on the right side of the street, and he
had no suspicion that a person, who.was at all acquainted with
driving, would suddenly turn his horses to the place which he
occupied. lie, however, Was mistaken. The defendant sud-
denly whipped his horses to the spot, and the pole of the coach
injured the leg of the complainant. The defendant Made no
apology : on the, contrary, when Sir Charles upbraided him
with having acted .(;() improperly, .he said, " your eyes,
why don't.you learn to ride in the streets ?" This was more
provoking than the carelessness of the
,fellow, and Sir Charles
took down his number. _ _

The COachman said he merely moved out of the way of a cart,
and the gentleman did not look about him, or the pole might
have been avoided. He then behaved with much insolence, and
the Lord Mayor inflicted upon the penalty of 295.
The defendant positively declared that he never would pay
the fine. Ile would appeal against it in all the courts in Eng-
land, if necessary.
The LORD IllAyon told him, that if the money was not paid
within 24 hours, a disagreeable message should be sent to his house.
Ile replied that nothing on earth should induce him to pay the
fine.

The LORD MAYOR permitted the fellow to leave the Justice-
room, but assured him that at the expiration of the above period
he might expect a distress upon his goods and chattels.
uonou brll-ST nra:T.—THE CASE ER DIDGE.—
Yesterday, and on the previous day, a number of the relativeS
and friends of this man, - who, it will be recollected, is under
Sentence of death for criminally abusinga young girl, his daugh-
ter-in-law, appeared before the Magistrates, with 'a number of
depositions in favour of the prisoner, to which they wished to
be sworn. .
They stated, that, onhearinglie was condemned, and know-
ing that on his trial he. ,was left destitute, they had collected all
the various circumstances of the case which were likely to be in
his favour, and- hey had also obtained the testitnonr of other
persons, and having the depositions, &c., regularly drawn up,
they had waited with them upon Mr. Capper at the Home Se.
cretary of State's office; and were by him informed that any
documentary evidence they had to give must be sworn to before
the Magistrates, therefore they had lost no time in waiting
upon them for that purpOse.
DYER observed thathe did not know_ what to swear
them to ; they had better ascertain that before they took any
I Oaths ; he remarked, it was strange they did not produce such
evidence in the prisoner's favour on, the trial.
One of the prisoner's friends said, it was entirely through the
neglect' f his advisers ; had the testimony they now could pro-
duce been brought forward, the man would have been at li-
berty, instead of beeing condemned to death.
The documents were again shown to Mr. CONANT, who com-
mitted the prisoner, and he said he should peruse them before
he could have them swore to. _ . _

The parties then quitted the office. Some of the friends of
the man are come from a distant part of the kingdom. •
