POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

EXTRAO RDI NA RY CLAIM.
MAsistnsr-Houst...,Nesterday an elderly female, of a very
Wretched appearance, though of highly respectable and lady-
like address, applied to the LORD MAYOR for his assistance
and advice, under circumstances of a peculiar nature. She
begged his Lordship's interposition in her behalf with the
Duke of Northumberland, who, although a communication
from so humble a person as •?.:se was might be prevented from
reaching him, would doubtless be put in possession of any state-
ment of facts made by the Chief Illagistrate, and probably be
induced to save the parish the expence of maintaining her.
The circumstances were as follow:--Her name is Lomas. Her
grandfather was a man of high respectability and great accom-
plishments, and lived in the first circles. The Dowager
Duchess of Somerset, from whom the present Duke of
Northumberland is descended, married him, and had no cause
to regret her election, for Mr. Lomas's virtue caused him to-
he acknowledged by the noble family, to whose alliance he
had attained. The marriage, however, was a Fleet mar-
riage, but was at the time it took place to all intents and
purposes legal. An Act was . passed in the ensuing year
6752), making Fleet marriages null and void ; but al,
though this Act could not be supposed to have a retrospec-
tive effect, yet the Duch?ss of Somerset was apprehensive
that some question might arise, in the event of her death, as
to the claims of her husband upon her property ; and
for the purpose of securing him against all possible bad
consequences that might arise from disputing his right, she
made over to him the sum of 60,0001. by a deed, which placed
that sum wholly beyond the reach of the family after her death.
Soon after that event took place, Mr. Lomas gave the most de-
cided proof of his magnanimity by resigning the deed to the
late Duke of Nortnumberland, whom he considered to be better
entitled to the property of the Dowager Duchess, Alr. Lomas
married a second time and died, leaving a widow and a daugh-
ter, the applicant's mother, without any fortune. His widow
died in an indigent condition when the applicant's mother ap-
plied to the late Duke of Northumberland for relief, and he
sent her back a letter, promising her a small annuity, and de-
claring that, " whilst a Percy lived, a descendant of Lomas
should not want." Her mother punctually received this small
annuity until her death in 1822, when as her last act she gave the
applicant the letter of promise from the late Duke. This letter
she had in her possession until lately, when her state of indigence
compelled her to make known to his present Grace, the Duke of
Northumberland, through one of his agents, that she was the.
grand-daughter of Mr. Lomas, who had married the Duchess of
Somerset, and given up to the family 60,000/: the interestof which
would, if that gentleman had not acted in so highly disinte-
rested a manner, have made the sum worth an immense deal to
his unfortunate posterity, the last of whom was now represent-
ing her deplorable condition to the Lord Mayor. The gentle-
man whom she had instructed to make the representation to his
Grace was a Clergyman. He asked her after (as we understood
her) he had had an interview with his Grace, whether she
would consent to give up the letter of acknowledgement upon
having the suns of 50/. a-year settled upon her for life. To this
she readily assented; but she did not authorise the Clergyman
to resign the letter until the annuity was secured to her. What
was her disappointment when she learned that the paper was
given up without any condition. The only recompence she
received was 251., and she had made various applications sub-
sequently, which she was confident never reached his
Grace. She entertained not the slightest doubt that if
these facts could be made to reach his ear, a recol-
lection of past services, the advantage of which his Grace was
now enjoying, would impel him to bestow a thought upon the,
grandchild of a man m whom it would be ridiculous to say he
was not greatly indebted.—The LORD MAYou expressed some
surprise at this statement, and said be was convinced that if her
claim was of the nature described, the Duke of Northumber-
land would at once attend to it. Mrs. Lomas said if his Lord-
ship, who was the only person whom she knew to apply to,
would take the trouble to communicate the nature of her claim
to his Grace, she hail no doubt it would be soon found that it
was not forgotten.—The Loup MAY on' though exceedingly
reluctant to interfere in matters which had no reference to the
duties of his office, promised to make some inquiries,, and we
understand he immediately wrote a respeoful communication to
the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle.

PLATE GLASS SASH SQUARES.
Gurx.nriaLL.-I'esterday Mr. Harvey, the linen-draper, on
Ludgate-hill, was summoned to shew cause why he detained a
sheep.—From the statement of John Kitchen, a drover, it ap-
peared that a little dog had barked at the animal as it was
passing down the Old Bailey, on Monday, and the conse-
quence was, that it took fright, and dashed forward against the
folding doors of Mr. Harvey's shop, which it burst open, and
by the concussion broke two large squares of plateglas, value
31r. Harvey directed the sheep, which is a remarkably large
fine LinColn, to be detained until the damage it had done was
made good ; and upon the owner of the sheep coming to
demand it, or if he should not succeed in obtaining it, to
give directions as to the beit manner of keeping it, he
was told that ii was in- Mr. Harvey's padock, which on his
pressing earnestly for a sight of the animal, turned out
to be the cellar, where it stood in a small area,. surround-
