HATTON-GARDEN.

A poor Irishwoman, whose intellects were evidently im-
paired, was brought up by an overseer of St. Pancras, to
be passed in the usual way to Ireland. _

Mr. BENNETT reminded the overseer that the woman
had been once before at the office, when he (Mr. Bennett)
made an order that, as the woman appeared to be an idiot
or insane, he would not sign any order unless a surgeon
was present to prove that her intellects were not impaired,
as he could never pass an idiot or insane person.
Overseer--I have examined her, and she is in a fit state
to be passed.
Mr. BENNETT (rising from his seat)=l entertain a dif-
ferent opinion, and I will not put my hand to any order
for her removal until a surgeon is brought forward to prove
to me the state of her intellects, and I expect that it will
be attended to.

The overseer was silent ; and he took the woman back
to the workhouse, preparatory to bringing the parish sur-
geon, who was to examine her.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday a tall thin man, who gave his name Matthew
Martini, was brought up in custody, charged by police con-
stable 138 D, who stated that on Sunday evening last, as
he was on duty in Oxford-street, he beheld the prisoner
sitting on the step of a door. He appeared very faint and
weak, and was surrounded by a crowd of persons. He was
unable to speak a word of English, and the real nature of
his distress was not made known to the by-standers until
the arrival of a foreigner, who, addressing the poor fellow in
Italian, elicited from him that for some time past he had
been serving in Spain under General Evans, but, from ill-
treatment and bad state of health, had been necessitated to
come back to England. He further stated that he had not
tasted a morsel of food since last Thursday, and that un-
less something were speedily done for him, he should die
from starvation.

Mr. RAwLyssori. (to the constable)—Take him to the
workhouse, and relate the circumstances under which he
was found.

The constable took over the poor fellow as directed,
and the relief afforded him was a slice of bread and cheese
Having received which, he, as well as he was able, bobbled on

LAMBETH-STREET.

A rather good-looking young female, with an infant in
her arms, addressing Mr. NORTON, said she requested his
advice under the following circumstances. She stated that
some time ago she became acquainted with a police con-
stable named Hudson, K 114, and the result of their inter-
course was the birth of the child she then had in her arms.
The father agreed to allow her eighteen pence a week for
the maintenance of the child, but instead of leaving it at
any place for her, he compelled her to call on bim every
week for him ; and the consequence was, that every time
she so called he not only abused her himself, in the most
shameful manner, but set on other policemen to do the same.
Magistrate—ls he a single or married man ? Applicant
—Single, Sir.
Magistrate—Did I understand you to say that he
seduced you ? Applicant—No, Sir, I can't say that. The
fact was, that I had been seduced by another policeman,
who was stationed close to where I had been at service,
but I afterwards discovered him to be a married man.
Hudson, K 114, was well aware of the fact, and promised,
if I discontinued all intercourse with the other constable,
he would marry me.
Magistrate—Then I suppose he has forgotten his pro-
mise. Applicant—He has, Sir, and that is not all, be
taunts me with my former impropriety.
Mr. NORTON had no doubt on an application being made
to Mr. Young, the Superintendent of the division to which
the man complained of belonged, he would see that justice
would be done to her. The applicant left the office for the
purpose of waiting on Mr. Young.
