POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CHARGE OF MURDER.
MAN rtoir-H u sr.—l/assay, against whom it may be recol-
lected a warrant was some time ago issued for the raurderef
man named Delany in Clr.th.fair, was brought before the Joan
MAYoR by Mr. COPE, into whose hands the Police of Dublin
had committed him. The evidence taken upon the death of
Delany stated, that in a desperate quarrel in Cloth-fair batten
a number of Irishmen, Hussey seized a hammer, and inflictedn
wound with it upon the temple of Delany; of which wound the
deceased afterwards died. It was not supposed at first that the
wound was mortal, and a representation having been made to
one of the City Magistrates that a poor man was confined in the
Comptcr for a common assault, and that bail was in realness
for him, and that if he was not discharged his family would be
severe sufferers, the necessary order of dismissal was given, and
Hussey got out of prison. Delany, who had ventured togits
deuce at Guildhall on the subject of the assault, though suffering
excessively from the wound, grew daily worse, and after a aa"
vere struggle, died in the hospital. Hussey lived for nearly three
weeks amongst his friends in London and then went to Ireland.'
He wandered about for some time until he thought the thing "
was blown over and then visited his relations at Roscommon:
but the report of the murder had reached his native place, and ha -
was apprehended by the Police, who told Mr. Cope that they ON
obliged to handle him roughly on account of the desperate re-
sistance he made. The prisoner has received a severe cut on
the head, and been pricked with bayonets in several parts of the
body. He declares himself that lie was sitting quietly with
child in his arms when the posse comitatns entered, and upat4
cessarily attacked and overpowered him.
The Loan MAYOR asked Davis, the beadle of the Pa,
where the murder was committed, whether the prisons, woo 'a
person named in the warrant ?
Davis replied in the affirmative.
The Loan MAYOR then asked the prisoner whether he wish'
ed to say thing ?
Hussey declared he had nothing to say, except that he wit°
innocent of the murder.

MATRIMONIAL RIGHTS.
M SIOX.FIOUSE.--A case of a singular description „W 49
heard before the LORD MAYOR and Sir JAMES SHAM 6'lD•
nesly, the beadle of Aldgate, applied for an order of filiati°9"
against a Jew, who, according to the Parish account, desertan
his bastard child. When the father was brought up on a ferTesr.
occasion the mother of the child assured the Lord Mayor
her child was no bastard, as the defendant married her before
consummation. She then chewed the ring, which shecalls..
upon him to say whether he had not put upon her finger, P'v
nouncing those words which constitute•ithem man and wife*
The Lcutp alsmort, whom the poor woman appealed te,.l
a very earnest manner for the honour of her child, asked whether
such marriages were customary amongst the Jews, and whether
the defendant had performed the ceremony in the manner de-
scribed.

she had been betrayed and seduced; had she not been convinced
of the stability of the bond, she could have married another ler;
was more unexceptionable. But why dispute the proltriegi •
the marriage, when one of the Cioldsmidts had been married 01

The defendant admitted that he had married the young trft•
man so far as he had described, but the tie was of no Ow-
There were irregularities in the ceremony, which made It ha,"
possible to be recognised by the Jewish law. Indeed, if P"'
expectation of her had been answered, he would have WM:
pleted the ceremony before the High Priest, and thus put the
e
legality of her claim to him beyond all question.

The Jewess submitted to the Lord Mayor that her claim wsl,,
undeniable. She had given no cause for divorce ; her child we'
legitimate. She then produced a variety of letters from the
defendant, which exhibited his passion in the several stare
until it sank into positive abhorrence, and the epithets of et-,
dearment were gradually reduced to that of " wretched woman.'
The Loan MAYOR, under all these circumstances, sub-
mitted the question of the legality of the niarriae to the High
Priest ; from whom he and Su. James Shaw received the foil/0-
in communication :
The solemnization of marriages amongst the Jews 1# 11'
bulated by a code of laws, which impose sertain ceremonici Or -
e performed, and blessings said under a canopy by a WWI
properly qualified and authorised for such purpose. Parties UM.'
ever surreptitiously contract themselves in marriages by the
man putting a ring on the finger of a woman in the presence e,
witnesses, and declaring its purpose ; but such marriage is no
only disreputable, but occasions much inconvenience, as its re,'
lidity may
.be questioned, and the law considered the wife of such
formation in the same light as an unclean woman. Her claim
for maintenance is likewise subject to much question, although
there is none for that of her children, and neither the man not
she can marry any other person unless a regular divorce be.
been executed between them. Thus, though the ceremony
incomplete and subject to dispute. they must, with respect t 4
other connections, still be considered as mon and wife."
Sir JAMES SHAW entertained a very different view of the
case from that which the High Priest had communicated. it'
considered the case analogous to those Scottish cases which rr, "
so familiar, and in which it was known the use of a few Irera"'
of-engagement and acquiescence formed an indissoluble tic. ere
did not see how the parish could call upon the defendant N*
maintain his bastard child under such circumstances, as it 4,1",'"
