DUBLIN .POLICE:

POLYGAMY.—On 'Tuesday Se'tiniglit a most
extraordinary case was called on before the Magistrates of the
head.police-office. A young. Woman, with very bright black
eyes, and rather well-looking, stated to their worships that she
was in great doubt whether she was the wife of one Peter Har.
man, with whom she had now lived more than two years. Pe-
ter Hannan, she said, was an old pensioner, and she believed a
stout veteran in the ranks of war, consequently she had no ob-
jection to Peter Harman in that particular ; but the neighbours
round about her had got a nasty habit of abusing and backbit-
ing (people must be talking), and• saying that she, Honor
Cromie, was not the lawful wedded wife" of old Peter Har-
man, the pensioner. Now if she was not his wife, she did not
want t 6 live with him, but would seek some younger man ; what
Made her think that " what every body says must he true" con-
cerning Peter Har,-aan's first marriage was, that in addition to
the reports of the neighbours, an old ugly blear-eyed.little wo-
man, was in the habit of coming to their tenement in %Vine-ta-
vern-street, where she abused Peter Harman and her (the corn-
plainant); desiring her in very
„Alp language, not to beta coha.
biting with another woman's husband : now she brought this
same old woman to their worships' office, and they would find
her :persist jn saying not Only that she was the wifeof Peter, but
also the mother of two of his children.
' The Magistrate looked at the old woman, as if he were
about to ask her a question, when she instantly cried out, as
quick as the words could be spoken—" All true as the Gospel,
please your Worshilr; my naive is Catherine Ryan ; many,
is the long year ago since this old villain married me, a young
innocent creature ; Oh, if you were to see the two boys we had,
both dead, one died in Barbadoes ; I was ancle deep in blood
with the old cut-throat before now, and this is .the way he
leares me; he'd do any thing that is .bad • this little minx
here made him tarn from the Church of Endand to the Church
of Rome: Can your Worship do nothing for me ? I know
you can, but you won't. I have my certificate, but the meld
!fellow burned it on me."
Peter Harman then stepped forward, and combing down his
white locks with his brawny hand, he said, " Please your
Wership, as to what that there Katto Ryan says about this
here business, it is all s ilam ; she says as how she be's my
wife; ifshe he, where be the certificate? I think I have her
there, your Worship. ' Catch a fox asleep and his eyes open !'
No, no, 1 knows a trick worth two of that: as to the twp chil-
dren, she be right and tight there; but ax her had she one of
them before she Rot
First wife.—Ah, Aar Worship, I was an innocnt lamb,
and couldn't help myself; but this one was never married at all
at all to him, bekasc she was married before.
Magistrate.—You hear what this woman says. Were you
ever married before you met with Peter Harman ?
Second wife.—/Vle married ! Oh ! Lord, no, your Worship;
it was only a disappointment !
Magistrate.--A disappointment !I do not understand you.
'2,..Second. wife.—Ah ! your Worship will shame the life out of
me. It's well enough; you know What it is for a girl. to be
alisappointed. •
Magistrate.—l must confess Ido not understand you.
. Peter Harman..----Ah ! your :Worship, she was married to a
crathur that was for all the world the likes of herself; he was
71071 compush.
Magistrate.—Well, Mix. Cromie, I am afraid, that although
you have brought the complaint,
_you are the-most likely per.
ruin to be tried for bigamy. Were you `divorced from your
'first husband when you. married Peter Harman ?
Second wife.—Oh, no, yobs Worship ; but you know when
he was not fit for a husband, how could I be his Wife ? Besides,
:the complaint has been already dismissed by Alderman Archer
in James's-street police-office.
Magistrate.—That is quite impossible, Mrs. Cromie; for
Alderman Archer has not the power of dirorcirag.
Peter Harmair.—ls that all 'your Worship knows about the
law ?. Oh, but he has, and 1 hare it under his own hand ; sure
the Alderman gave it to Honor Cromie- himself.
Mrs. Cromie's first husband aware that she
was married a second time?
Peter Hartnan...—That he be, Our Worship; for he came to
me the day after our Wedding, and wished me joy. of her; he
be as honest a crathur,'Sir, as ever wore a cravat.
. First wife..Ah, then; what am Ito do, Sir ? Must this one
have two husbands, and I m'er a one? .
Magistrate.—l o not kilo:W--1 dismiss the complaint alto,
gether—you must settle it among yourselves.
This 'decision did not seem to please any of the parties, ex-
cepting Peter Harman. It was evident that the young wife•
wai anxious to set rid of the old man, while the old wife
'wished to retain' him.; but neither obtained the object of her
wishes.
A tar'aysr Loo.--On Morteliy,nlubberly-looking sailor ap-
plied to the Magistrate of College-street police, for A warrant
against his Captain, for striking him.
The complainant said he had been steward of a vessel from
Quebec to Dublin ; that the Captain hail, in the course of the
voyage, given hint. several beatings, of. which he kept a regular
log, and would, if he pleased, show it to him.
The Magistrate said he should certainly have no objection
to see such a curiosity.
The steward accordingly produced a panes, on which were
the following items to the credit of the Captain :
" June .s.—Wind.fair—Captain in afoul bad humour ;

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

EXTRA RODINARY CASE. ,
Grrxt.fmAr.L.—A gentleman of very respectable appearance,
who described himself as Mr. John Fenton Godden, clerk with
Messas. Holmes, Frampton; and Loftus, of New fun, solici-
tors, appeared yesterday on summons before the sitting Magis-
trate, Mr. AidermAn Troop, on a charge of assaulting a
young man of apparently equal respectability, who gave his
name Daniel Smith, warehouseman, with Messrs. Urlings,
British lace-manufacturers, Strand. The complainant stated,
that on Thursday evening last, be had been to wait on a lady
at Walkr's Hotel, New liaidge-street, and was returning up
Fleet-street, when, in passing two gentlemen,.one of wham was the defendant, his (Mr. Smith's) hand brushed slightly against
Mr. Godderfa arm, on which the latter immediately turned
round and accused him in the foulest language of having at-
tempted to pick his pocket. He made no other reply to this ac-
cusation, than by-Assuring him that he was quite mistaken in
his character, and begging his pardon for having brnslied
against•hini, was crossing; the way to avoid further altercation,
mien the defendant (who IS a very powerful'man in comparison
with Mr. Smith), instantly- collared him, and shook him with
such excessive violence as nearly to prevent his breathing. He
begged him not to he so outrageous, that he was as respectable
as himself, and co.."d,give satisfactory reference who he
Mr. Godden, however,- continued his violence, and dragged
him (Mr.. Smith) into a baker's shop in -Fleet-street, , which
happened to be open. Here he' stated to Mr. Godden that he
resided at Messrs. Urling's,- and said he would give him bia
card. At this 'proposition Mr. Godden was somewhat more
cool, but-as he (Mr. Smith) on searching; • happened to have no
.card about him, Mr. Godden renewed .his accusations, and al-
though, he desired him to walk home with him to the Strand, he
again seized him and redoubled his violence. Just at this ino-
•ment a watchman, attracted by the crowd, came up, and hav-
ing heard Mr. odilen's charge, told him that he was not
justified in behaving with that violence, but should take him
-Smith) to the watchhouse, and accordingly they all went
to St. Dunstan's watchhouse together. Before the constable
of the night, Mr. Godden charged him with rifling his packet,
but it appearing by his own account that there was nothing in
his pocket to be rifled of,- anti as he (Mr. Smith) stated who
and What he was, and the defendant • conducted himself with_
consideiable violence, • threatening at one time to knock his
teeth down his throat, the constable, at the suggestion of
Mardi; the ward beadle, told Mr. Godden that if he persisted
in his charge he should send them both to the Compter toge-
ther ; and to avoid this disagreeable alternative, Mr. Godden
relinquished his charge, and he (Mr. Smith) waspermitted to
go at liberty. This was the nature of the assault with which
he now charged him.
Woods, the watchman Alluded to, corroborated Mr. Smith's
statement, and spoke as to-the violence with which Mr. Godden
shook him and dragged him along.
Match, the beadle, and Mr. Thomas, the constable of the
night, confirmed Mr. Smith's account as to what-had passed in
the watchhouse, ae well as to the abusive and violent corlduct,
of Mr. Godden while there. They both accompanied- Mr.
Smith home, and found that he was the person that he described
hiMself to be. The two gentlemen at the time were equally
respectabfe in appearance.
Mr. Godden, without attempting to deny or apologize for the
violent conduct with which he was charged, renewed his accu-
sation against Mr. Smith. He was, he said, passing up Fleet-
street arm and arm with a friend, when he felt something at
his pocket; and an putting his hand to it; instantly found the
complainant's hand actually in his pocket. He recollected how-
'ever, that there was nothing in his pocket, his handker-
chief being in the crown of his bat; nevertheless' lte was de,
sirous of giving hint into custody, and seized ciim accord-:
ingly ; but as the-watch was not then set,- no officer was to be
found, and to secure him he pitshed him into the first shop
that was open. 'He was not, he said,. bound to judge by
appearances the thieves-,• it was notonons, were- frequently
well dressed', and the fact of the prisoner's not being able to
give his card of address, confirmed him in his opinion that he
was not mistaken in the character of the man. 'At the watch-
house he pressed the constable to take the' charge, but as he
refused so to do, without at the same time detaining him, he
'preferred, as he had lost nothing, relinquishing the charge to
being locked up all night. With regard to the charge itself;
he Still persisted that he found Mr. Smith's band in his pocket.
If, however, Mr. Smith chose to drop all proceedings with re-
gard to the assault; he was content to say nothing more on that
subject. On the contrary, if Mr. Smith meant to persist in his
present charge, lie shodld certainly apply for a warrant, and
have him taken up for attempting to pick his pocket.
Mr. Alderman Tito RP said, he should consider that it would
be quite impossible for Mr. Smith to relinquish his charge for
the assault upon such a proposition-, which. would, in fact, be
little less .than an acknowledgment of the truth of the accuse-
tionagainst him.

Mr: Smith said, No, certainly ;.he could agree to no such pro-
position—he should persist in his charge, and if Mr. Godden
thought proper to proceed as he threatened', he should rely with
confidence upon his general character to bring him triumphantly
through any ',kith accusation. •
Mr. Alderman TdORP laid, iti that.case, he must call upon
Mr. Godden to find bail.
Mr. Godden said, that he could.speedily do, -and he should
certainly proceed as he had stated against Mr. Smith.
Beresford, the clerk, asked, did Mr. Godden mean to say
that he actuAly felt Mr. Smith's hand in.his pocket.?
Mr. Godden.—Yes ; I certainly found it in my pocket.
Here this strange affair rested; and Hr. Godden subsequently
found bail' for his appearance to answer the charge of assault.

MYSTERIOUS AND EXTENSIVE. ROBBERY.
WORSHIP-S.TBEET.—Yesterday much of the time of Mr.
TVVYFortD, the sitting Magistrate, was occupied in the inyesti-
gation of an' extensive-robbery committed on the premises of
Mr. T. Waterlow,/jun.,l silk-manufacturer, 27; Church.street,
Spitalfields. It appeared that on Monday .evening Mr. Water-
low, and Mr.'George Sawyer, ills partner, went out of town,
leaving their house in the care of two apprentices, a servant girl,
and an elderly woman. About-twenty. minutes past twelve on
the same night, two parish constables, named Bar and Harman,
observing two young men enter a house in White's-row under
suspicious circumstances, one of the officers entered the . house
after them, while 'the other remained: to watch on the outside.
Bar, who was in the house, was presently afterwards informed
by his companion, that a man was getting out of the window and-
going into the court, and saw the man, who (finding he was oh.
served) was then in the act of getting in.again at the window,
and in his hurry dropped the hat.now produced, and which was
afterwards claimed by the prisoner . -Mason, who being dis-
covered in a rooin on the tint • floor, was .taken to the watch-
house, together with seven pieces of silk found also in the same
room. On their return from the watch-house a further, search
was made' and a young, man, named William Crook, was
found locked in the sante room, andiinder the bed were found.
seven other pieces of silk. In the mean time George Royce, 'a
watchman, hearing the rattles spring; apprehended a young
woman, named Mary Gable, whom he found running away in
Much conlbsion from the spot, -anti the :three prisoners were
safely lodged in the wach-liouse. In the moraing.Alr. Water:.'
low and his partner, returning to their warehouse, found that
It had been entered and robbed; and. While they were inspect-
ing the premises, received, a letter froth Hale, a silk mh
nufacturer, in consequence of which. they went to the watch-
house, where they • found the fourteen . pieces of silk
their property, and the -three persons in. custody. The
partners finding that . • some • drawers in ; the warehouse
had been tbrced open, and their papers scattered about the
place, but 'that no violence. appeared, to have .been used on
tbe exterior to obtain an entry, suspected that . the robbers
' must have been aided by some .person on the premises, and
William Crook, the brother of their apprentice, being one of ;
the, persons in custody at the watch:honk, their suspicion fell
on the apprentice, and they gave him also into cnstody. The
prisoners Maim, Win. Crook,. Mary Gable, and 'Sane., Crook
(the apprentice), were yesterday brought before the Magistrate,
and the above circumstances being detailed,. 111 r. TWYFORD
remanded them for further examination to-morrow.(this day),
to give time for the production of the other inmates of the'
house, observing that at present .there was no direct, evidence
against the apprentice,. but that the circurfistance of his-con.
neetion with the other prisoners wUs such .as to warrant his de-.
tention kith them.

lag tb either party, and that they were aIl Geans.
"Germans said the Chief Clerk; " Itinrm
t•_:rprised !
I always understood that the Germans were a verf r. praceithly
disposed set of men, and that when they do tight; it is only
upon stronger provocation than other people usualiy take, and
that they /lever had recourse to such a disgraceful mode of war.:
fare as this."
The'Coniplainant.--ISome oft:8 are Upper, and. others of us
'are Lower; Germans, that's all the ground of dispute.
The Beadle stated, .that a number of Germans settled
about Duke's-place, and that li4hts took place between them
almost every right. The prisoner and his party, who are sugar-
bakers, cattle from the Mack Forest, in thedorninionS of the King
of Wurtemberg, and the others came from Hanover, considered
themselves the King of. England's nataral born subjects, 'arid;
the:next thing to Englishmen, while they ridiculed those,orthe
Black Forest, as a mere contemptible set of foreigners, who
were only permitted to live liere as a matter of indulgente.-,.
Besides those extraordinarkgifounds of, mortal animosity, the
Hanoverians were of trades different from those pu.-sued by the
Black Foresters.
Tire LORD MAYOR said, that this inhumfin system must be
put an end to. He then ordered the defendant to find bail, to
answer for the outrage at the Sessions, and issued a wanant for
the apprehension of the ringleader of the assa;bints.

FRIENDLY: SOCIETIES. IlfanYtrnoNr.—Yesterday a most svretched-Inoking old
man, who had lost one arm,. and was shivering from head to
foot under the effects of a paralytic stroke, applied as the'no:
Minee of a member of a Friendly Society, for an order for the
payment of a sum of money, which is. according to the
rules of the Society, payable on. the death of a member._ The deceased member was a Julia Reade, who had lived with
the applicant as his wife, and she, for want of nearer connexion,
had appointed him to receive the mortuary fee. To resist the
payment of this sum, a Mr. Matthews appeared, as clerk to thri\
Society, which is kept at the Queen's Head, 'Paradise-street --
Now, Mr. Matthews, who was the very reverse of the poor appli-
cant, in personal appearance, being, in point of fact, a short,sleek,
plump-looking gentleman, is undertaker, and also clerk to
the Society. His objections to the claim Of the'poor man, not_
withstanding the earnestness with which he enforced thttn were
all over-ruled by the Magistrate, Mr. Griffith, who was about
write.an order for the payment of the money, when he was
stopped by Mr. Matthews, who said that he' should not pay
the money; lint appeal to the Sessions.
Mr. GRIFFITH—The Sessions have no Ire jurisdiction
than I have.
Itfr. we-are not enrolled, and nobody can
compeil Us'to pay anything.
Mr.•G r,; 1411 T it really a fact that yOu are. not enrolled ?
Mr. Matthews—lt is.
Mr. GRIFFITH—It is a most shameful thing to get the poor
people's money and then treat them in this manner.
Mr. Mathews, having gathered together his bundle of doeu,
ments, was about leaving the office, when. the Magistrate again
remonstrated with him on the folly of appealing to the Sessions,
and the injustice of depriving this poOr man or his money, but
he turned a deaf car.
Mr. "Gairmu—:Well, you are the most irrong-headed
man I ever knew.

TOWN-HALL, sou T/TwAßlC.—Yesterdai Louis Manuel, a
St. Domingo black, his wife, -a young woman delicately fair,
and their little child, forming- a contrast of black, white, and
yellow, appeared at. the bar ; the two former for 'resisting the
Authority of the guardians of the 'and the •first named

The charges of the several watchmen of -St. Olave's eon.:

been heard, Manuel, in his turn, -said----" Your Lordships
Worship—ram in de place I work 14 year, and never but once

that called- forth a display of his white teeth), Zia is my littel
chile. It happen very- frequent there is great laugh [bade
against her for what she think proper to do in my regard, but,
mi Lor, I pass it by, I take no concern; -she like. me Ijove
her—we are happy. If I am. black 'I have heart, and. for what
shall they trouble ? Yesterday it is again I find her engaged
in-squabble. I am to take her home, when de watchman say
no ; and take us all to de watch-house.
Alderman J. J. &Ka 'll3.—But how came you to attempt to
injure the night-constable?
I was commit no offence, and I am in the land of liberty.
The Magistrate inquired of the officers under what eircum.
stances Manuel had been brought before him on the former
occasion, and,was told for saving a woman's life, who attempt..
eel to • drown herself; by jumping into the river after her, and
for which he (the Alderman) had given 'hitt fis; out' of . hinown
pocket. He was a most inoffensive man.
Alderman SMITH said ,he perfectly recollected it, and told
Manuel, though he blamed him for resisting the authorities
where a disturbance it was proved had taken place, . he should,
jn consequence of his Pinter good deed, discharge him, hoping
Nothing inimical to his good character would eierhe heard of
. again, when Manuel and his family; made their, respeetful
obeisances and departed.
