POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE

Yesterday two young girls came before the LORD MAY ow,
to beg his aid in their deplorable necessity. They were both
country girls, and had been seduced by two fellows who pro-
mised to marry them. One of them said she lived happily
with her uncle arid aunt, who kept a public-house at Stoke,
in Northamptonshire, when a young man, a servant in the
family of Mr. Denman, M.P., paid his addresses to her, and
after a courtship of six months, during which time he niade the
most solemn vows to marry her, he accomplished her ruin.—
Her seducer then desired her to come to London, where he
would meet and protect her. Being without money, she walk-
ed to London, but the fellow did not meet her, and she'walk-
ed about the streets in search of him until shesunk down ex-
hausted on the steps of a hall-door. In this condition she was
addressed by one of the wretched class who conveyed her to a
brothel in Shire-lane, but as she refused to prostitute herself,
she was turned into the street, having left nearly all her clothes
for her board and lodging. She then met her companion, and
they got shelter in a hovel in Duck-lane, Westminster, but were
again turned into the street. The second girl, who is the
daughter of a publican in the country, said she had also been
seduced by a fellow who brought her to London, where he rob-
bed her, kicked and abandoned her, and then entered into the
Guards. Her uncle was a respectable person,, in the employ-
ment of Alderman Atkins, and who, on being sent for, was
horror-struck on beholding her. The girls were sent to the
Compter, and orders were given that they should be treated
withkindness. They sat in a room together on Saturday night,
'and the second one, who appeared to yield herself up to despair,
said she would sit on the bed, and she should be better. She
Went to the other side of the room, and her companion being
surprized at her long absence, went to the bed, and there found
her apparently in the agonies of death. The poor creature had
taken the ribbons from her bonnet, and tied them tight round her
neck. Had it not been discovered, she would in a few minutes
have been a corpse. This girl is now under the protection of
heruncle; the other remains at the Compeer until his Lordship
receives an answer from Mr- Denman. •

BIT LL °CIE HUNTING.—..Three youngsters, named Thomas
Quiltion, John Homewood, and John Davis, all weavers by
theirvocation, were brought before Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS,
charged with having been engaged, with several others, in the
brutal amusement of bulloeking, and having assaulted Norris
and Furlong, two of the Bow-street patrol, while in the exe-
cution of their duty, and endeavouring to put an end to their
barbarous employment. The assault with respect to Norrie
was without his saying a word, most clearly proved, for on
his entering. the Office his head was in a continued gore of
'blood, and one of his fingers appeared very severely dislo-
cated if not fractured. He stated that between twelve and
one o'clock, the prisoners in company with one hundred
other persons were driving in the most savage manner an ox,
which he since understood belonged to Mr. Creighton, along
the top of Devonshire-street. Tile cruelty they exercised
towards the animal was so excessive that it became quite
infuriated, and threatened destruction to the lives of the passen-
gers. To preserve the peace and prevent the occurrence of mis-
chief, he and Furlong rushed into the crowd and endeavoured
to apprehend some of the principals. On their doing se, they
were received with a shower of stones and brick bats, a blow
from the latter of which laid open his cheek, and broke one of
his fingers. They persevered, however, and succeeded its appre-
hending the prisoners, who made themselves particularly active
in the cruelty towards the animal, and in flinging the missiles.
This statement was corroborated by the other officer, and a per-
son named Bradley, identified the prisoners as the chief ring-
leaders of the riot. Sir D. WI t.traats observed that the of..
fence was of late becoming so prevalent, and the lives of his
Majesty's subjects so much endangered, that he felt it his duty
to put the law strictly in force against the prisoners. lie then
convicted them to pay a penalty of .10e. each, and in defsiallt,pe
doing so, to take two months amusement at the tread wheel.
