POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.
MY WIFE'S MOTHER.--A poor miserable-looking woman
was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman THOMAS WOOD,
charged with an assault.
The complainant, James Castle, who is a watchman living
in Sun street, Bishopagate, said that the defendant was con;
stantly in the habit of going to his house, and " blowing U.
Last night, said the complainant, she was so violent—
The ALDERMAN—Who was ? Complainant—My vife's
mother, Sir.—(A laugh)—and I was obliged to call in two
watchmen, when I was hit sich a precious blow on the arm
with a great iron bar (exhibiting a large bruise on hie
fore- arm).
The ALDERMAN---Who hit you ? Complainant—My wife's
mother, Sir.—( Laughter).
The ALDERMAN__ Well my good woman, what have you to
say? Defendant—Why, Sir, I went to his house with my dill'
dren, and after they was gone, he struck me. I called in 11
person to prevent destruction. Howsomever, I went to bed
when he called in a lot of rufiqns what was no constables, I an
sure at all, for they dragged me out of my bed when I was al-
most in a state of nuddity, for I had nothing on but my
shimmey. He's used me rascally. My husband was a con-
stable, and I know what duty is, but they didnt do their duty.
His children cried out for their grandmother, and his wife
cried out for her mother, but they took me to the Compter,
between one and two, where I've been all night, and I'm 62
years of age, your Worship.
The complainant denied this, or that he had at all ill used
his vife's mother, and stated that she created so great a dis-
turbance that he was obliged to remove her.
The ALDERMAN—WiII you offend again ? Defendant—Nat
in this way.
The ALDERMAN—Will you in any other way? Defendant
Whatever you request me I will do.
The ALDERMAN—WeII, I shall discharge you upon your
promising to keep the peace, but if you come here again you
will be dealt with rather severely.
The old woman was then discharged.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
Arthur Bellamey, a short-set burley little man, whose face
was disfigured with various mug and bruises, ,vas charged with
being extremely drunk and disorderly.
MAGISTRATE—What, have you been in the wars ? Wen-
dant—No, your Worship ; but I found a book full of ball,
payable at sight, belonging to a solicitor. at Shadwell;
and
these policemen always trip me up when they find me in the
streets, and then they tie me with ropes.
MAGISTRATE—I'm afraid it is the liquor that trips you up.
Defendant—Not at all, Sir. Didn't I show you the last
time I was here that I could drink a bottle of whiskey and
stand upon one leg ?—(Laughter.)
MAGISTRATE—Is he not a quack doctor, or something of
that sort ? Defendant (pulling out a paper)—lf you wouldonly take one of these balls at night in a pint of
rum, Y°ll
would never have the rheumatism.—(Much laughter.)
MAGISTRATE—We don't want any of your prescriptiono
here. You are also charged with assaulting the officer. Defendant--That's another mistake. I had five and twenty
suits of clothes, and eight great coats, since the King's Coro-
nation, and I make it a rule never to strike a policeman, 1314
they always keep clear of my hands, for they know I can !mar
their coats to pieces. Your Worship, they have a desperate
knack of tripping me up.
MAGISTRATE—.YOU must pay five shillings for being cly unk'
Defendant—Why, you might kick me from Dan to Bel'
sheba, and not get a farthing out of me.—(Much laugh ter.)
MAGISTRATE—You must send for it.
U
Defendant—Then I must send to the Lord Mayor, ;And
as, him to pay a hundred pounds for me at once. I belo nu to his
royal regiment.
The constable was about to remove the Doctor,, w.'heo_A_l4
suddenly wheeled back, and pulling out a bottle, (exclairtwi;„
" I forgot to mention, if you only take a small drop ( 41;,"
bottle, it will prevent your catching the cholera morbi (Roars of laughter.)
The defendant then withdrew.

GUILDHALL:
MANsLavairrmi.—A young man, apparently between 25
and 26 years of age, a porter in Newgate-market, was brought
before Mr. Alderman BIRCH, in the custody of a City police-'
man, 74, under the following circumstances.
From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that the
prisoner, about six o'clock yesterday evening, went to a house
in Darkhouse-lane, Newgate-market, kept by a man of the
name of Chater, and called for a glass of rum, the price of
which, two pence, after he had drank, he refused to pay. Some words ensued between the waiter and the prisoner, when
the prisoner gave the waiter a heavy blow under the ear with big
fist. The waiter died at a quarter before 12 last night, and the
medical gentleman who attended him had given it as big
opinion that the blow the deceased had received from the
prisoner was the main cause of his death.
The prisoner was remanded until the result of the Coroner's
Inquest should be known, which is to be held to-morrow.

UNION-HALL.
Thomas Henry Manning, a person who appeared to hare led a wandering life, was brought before Mr. TRAILL, charge
with having robbed Mr. Gunton, a coal-merchant, and Ml' Jones, a cloth-factor, both of Coal Harbour-lane, Camberwell,
of several carpenter's tools, china, and other articles.
Thomas White, P 116, stated that he saw the prisoner, At
half past five o'clock this morning, in a field near Coal Har-
bour-lane. As there was no road through it, he thought je
suspicious seeing the prisoner there ; and upon his attempting
to go towards him, he jumped into a ditch. The officer imme-
diately took him into custody, finding upon him two baskets
containing property, which was identified by Mr. Gunton and
Mr. Jones as their property.
Mr. Yarnton stated that upon his door had been written in
a good hand—" lam a poor fellow, and I must have money' some way or other." On charging the prisoner with writing:
this, he admitted that he done so, and that he had taken the)
goods in order to keep him from starving.
Mr. TRAILL—WeII, prisoner, what account have you to p;ire
of yourself; you know you have been here before ?—The pri-
soner stoutly denied this • but upon being closely questioned,
he admitted that he had led a wandering life ; that at onetime
he lived at Hereford, another in Smithfield, another in some
distant part of the country, then at Camberwell ; and now,
that lie had no place into which he could put his head. ,
The prisoner, who on being searched had a large ,quantity
of apples in his pocket, was fully committed.
