POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HA7'TON-GARDEN.
Ann Callaghan, a poor woman with two children, one of
whom was at her breast, was brought before Mr. BURRELL,
charged by Duncan Campbell, Esq.,_ with begging.
The prosecutor stated that yesterday afternoon the pri-
soner accosted him in Great Coram-street, Russell-square,
and requested alms. The apparently forlorn situation of
herself and children excited his sympathy, and he ques-
tioned her, when she stated that she was in great distress ;
she had not tasted food for a considerable time, and she
did not know what to do ; she had applied to the overseers
of St. Giles's parish, who refused to relieve her, but offered
to pass her to Ireland ; but if she was sent to Ireland,
where she had no friends, she must starve, and her husband
or herself could get no work.
Air. BURRELL—What did you bring her here for?
Mr. Campbell—l apprehended her for begging, in which
I was justified by the law, in order that she and her family
might be immediately relieved. I am one of the Committee
for the Institution for the Relief of the Houseless Poor, and
I think this is a case worthy compassion.
Mr. BURRELL complimented Mr. Campbell, and ordered
an officer to take her and the children to the Mendicity
Society, in order that she might receive immediate relief,
and she left the office followed by Mr. Campbell.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
George Davis was brought before Mr. DYER charged
on suspicion of having stolen a valuable gold watch and
appendages.
The prisoner was remanded for a few days.

The man named Elliot, whose name was much
bruited about recently, as connected with a raffish duel, in
which he killed a person named Mirfin, has been pursuing
the same practices at Boulogne, which made it convenient
for him to seleet that town as a place of refuge. A few
days ago he was playing at billiards with a French gen-
tleman, when a difference of opinion arose as to a point of
the game, and not being able to convince his parti of his
error, he immediately assumed the demeanour and tone of
the Piccadilly Saloon, and blusteringly asked the gentleman
"if he knew who he was." " Yes," replied the latter, " I
am acquainted with your history—and I know you to have
been the principal in an affair disgraceful to morality and
offensive to decent manners." Mr. Elliot became very
angry at this reply, and threatened unutterable things about
annihilation and a recourse to arms, when the other person
asked him to await his return, and he would convince him
of his error. In about five minutes he came back with the
Commissary of Police and four gendarmes, and told Mr.
Elliot that if he did not conduct himself with propriety
during his stay at Boulogne, and abstain from exciting
brawls, the officers would be instructed to escort him to
Dover, and give notice beforehand of their coming to the
English police. Mr. Elliot was not aware that his opponent
was a son of the Prefect of the department of the Pas de
Calais.—Sunderland Herald.
On Tuesday morning, as the Rev. Dr. Goodall, Pro-
vost of Eton, was riding up High-street, Windsor, his
horse, frightened by a company of Guards, which were
going to relieve, suddenly started off at full speed, and be-
fore his servant could overtake him, threw the Rev. Gen-
tleman off, at the corner of George-street, nearly opposite
the White Hart Hotel. He was immediately taken into
the house, and medical assistance instantly procured, when
it was found, we are happy to say, that the Rev. Gentleman
had sustained no other injury than being stunned by the fail.
WONDERFUL the Lancashire Chronicle it is
stated as a " singular circumstance," that as a Mr. Longton
was out shooting, at Hornby, on Monday last, be was
greatly surprised, by coming upon two hares, each with two
heads and six feet, He took aim, and was fortunate in
shooting one of these remarkable animals, which is now, we
understand, lying at Mr. Abbott's, Hatter's Arms, Bridge_
lane, where it may be seen by the curious.
On Tuesday morning, about ten o'clock, a gentleman
named Munday was proceeding in a cab down Holborn-
hill, when the horse stumblel and lie was pitched out
and.fell with great violence on his face. He Was re-
moved to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and was found to
have dislocated his right shoulder and to have sustained
a violent concussion of the brain. He is considered to be
in a dangerous state.
