POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

DECISION ON THE ST. ANDREW'S (HOLBORN)
TITHE QUESTION.
Havrow-GanDEN.—Vesterday_ being the day named for
the final delivery of the Magistrates' opinione on this momen-
tous question, the office was thronge4l at an early hour by the
more respectable part of the parishioners.
Mr. Scrjeant Sra.t.oN, W. L. Ron Ens, and S. Larxo,
Esqrs., took their seats on the Bench at twelve o'clock; and
Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Taylor, vestry clerks, soon after ap-
peared—the former on behalf of the Rector (1)r. Beresford).
Mr. MEnEwErnEn, who conducted the Rev. Gentleman's
case on the former discussion, did not attend ; neither was it
understood that he should ; for every argument having been
exhausted as to the absolute merits of the point, the parties
consented to abide the decision of the Magistrates, and merely
came forward to have that decision made.
Mr. Ansa: a attended on behalf of the parishioners.
At a quarter before twelve o'c)bck Mr. Serjeant SELT.ON
commenced by saying, that the time was now arrived when he
and his colleagues were called upon to deliver judgment on a
question of great magnitude and importance—a question
which was involved in great obscurity and doubt. It was a
question in regard to a certain tithe claimed by the Rector
of St. Andrew's parish, Holborn, the payment of which
was disputed by an individual named Wasp. After stating
at considerable length his view of the question, the Learned
Sergeant said, that the Reverend Plaintiff, having failed in
carrying back the existence of a right to the period required by
law, that he, for one, must say that it had not been sufficiently
supported.
111 r. 'tool:Rs followed, and stated that after the very lucid
view taken of the case, in all its bearings by his colleague (the
Learned Sergeant), he felt it unnecessary to offer any further
observation, and perfectly coinciding in those views, and resting
judgment on the same point of law, namely, the non-existence
of right, under the statute of Edward IV. Ire must come to the
same conclusion, that the claim had not been sustained.
Mr. La iNG then said, that he, as one of the Magistrates, felt
It a duty which he owed to himself, as also to the rector of the
parish, to dissent from the judgment given by his worthy col-
leagues; for the payments having been traced so tar back as
103 years, without any interruption, was, in his mind, a suffi-
cient proof of the justness of the claim.

80, Lut-STItIeET.--Yesterday morning
a printed Bill, of which
the following is a copy, was received at this office in a blank
envelope through the channel of the
twopenny post-office. It
was leased—"ad To the Magistrates of Bow-street."

CHARGE OP CHILD MURDER.
Ustotr.llo.i..—Yestarday, as soon as M. SWARET, Esq.
had taken his seat, Snow, one of the constables, stated, that a
man named toil eto/tyro, was taken into custody that

added,
that a surgeon was then in attendance,
who would describe the shocking state in which he found the
child, on being sent for to attend it.
Tho MAGISTRATE, beibre ho commenced hearing the evi-
dence, directed Mr. Swift, the surgeon, to call down at the pri-
soner'S house, in order to swain whether the OW wm

In existence. In the interim it was stated that the prisoner had
formerly kept a carpet and blanket manufactory, at No. 43,
Blackfriars-road, where he failed in business about six months
ago, subsequently went to lire at No. 16, Brond-place, Wal-
worth, at which place, since his bankruptcy, lie carried on bu-
siness as a plate glass manufacturer. His wife and five child-
ren resided with him. In the course of three quarters of an
hour Mr. Swift returned to the Office, and informed the Magi-
strate that the child was dead.
The prisoner was then placed at the bar. He is rather a
genteel looking man, apparently about 35 years of age, and
dressed in a suit of black. When he was put to the bar he sat
down, and holding his head between his knees, remained in
that position, with his handkerchief to his forehead, until the
Magistrate desired him to stand up, and listen to the evidence
given against him by the witness on suspicion of having mur-
dered his child. Upon hearing this dreadful charge, the pri-
soner (lid not betray any appearance of horror, but attended to
the directions of the Magistrate.
It appeared from the evidence of John Adams, a watchman,
that on Wednesday night Mrs. Dewhurst applied to him for
protection from the violence of her husband, and that after en-
tering the house with some difficulty, upon witness going up
stairs into a room on the first floor, he saw a female child, ap-
parently about a year and a half old, lying down completely
naked in one corner, and covered with blood-from head to foot.
Upon seeing the dreadful state in which the child was, and the
mother almost frantic, lie (witness) ran off for Surgeon Swift,
who promptly attended.
This evidence was corroborated by that of some other watch-
men.

Mr. Swift, the Surgeon, stated that when he was sent for,
which was between three and four o'clock in the morning, upon
going up stairs he saw the prisoner standing in the middle of
the room; who, upon seeing him, used very strong language,
intimating that he had no business there, and swearing that he
would turn him out if he did not leave the premises imme-
diately. He at that time appeared to be in a dreadful rage ;
and witness, fearful of the consequences, gave him in charge to
the two watchmen who were then in the room. The witness
then proceeded to examine the child, which was lying in the
state described by the foregoing witness. "In fact," said the
surgeon, " I never beheld such a mass of' violence in my life,
as that which the body of the infant presented; the whole
length of the spine and legs were covered with desperate bruises,
blood flowed copiously from its mouth and nose, no feature in
its face was discernible—the head presenting the appearance
of having been repeatedly dashed against a wall or some hard
substance. The pupils of the eyes were dilated, and the infant
was in a comatose state. There were also some violent bruises
on the back of its head, and most of the hair appeared to have
been dragged off:" Witness lost no time in administering
both internal and external applications; and, after having
used fomentations, the child shewed symptoms of difficult and
painful respiration. The child at that time was in a dying
state. Afterwards, the witness proceeded to examine the room
in which such horrible barbarity had been committed, and per-
ceived on the wall a quantity of clotted blood, with hair inter-
mixed with it. These marks he discovered as bearing the
appearance as If the child's head had been beaten against it.
There was also found in the room a thick leather strap,
about a yard in length, which had been evidently used, as it
bore marks of blood, and some heavy wales, which he ob-
served on the child's back and loins, appeared as if they had
been inflicted by such a weapon. The witness added, that
during the time he was examining the child, the prisoner re.
mained in the room in custody between the two watchmen ;
and at the conclusion, he (witness) spoke to him, observing on
the horrible state his child was beaten ; to which the prisoner
replied, that he had done nothing, and the child fell down
stairs and bruised its face. Mr. Swift said, that he had visited
the child again that morning, by the Magistrate's direction, and
found it was dead. The external violence on the hotly of the
deceased the witness proved was sufficient to cause death.
Shaw, the constable of Newington, stated that the prisoner
was given into his charge between two and three o'clock that
morning, upon suspicion of having murdered his child. He
proceeded to search the prisoner, and took from his pocket,
amongst other things, a penknife. When the prisoner saw the
knife in the constable's hand, he said, " I hope you did not
think I was going to cut my own throat with it." He then ex-
pressed a wish to send for Dr. Sibree to see his child, and ob-
served that he should be then satisfied.

The prisoner, in reply to a question from the Magistrate, said
he did not wish to say any thing in his defence. He was then
remanded for further examination.

MANSION-llOUSE.—Yesterday an Italian, named Barto-
lomeo Lavezzo and his wife, or mistress, Carolina Lavezzo
were brought before the LouD Mayon, charged with having
forged the names of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, the
bunkers, to a parchment, for the purpose of obtaining charity.
Mr. Manning, the Bank Director, and several other men of
commercial eminence, attended the examination, the prisoners
being suspected of having extensively imposed upon the public
by counterfeiting the recommendatory signatures of some of
the first people.—Mr. Samuel Cotton, of Basingliall-street, stat-
ed, that on Tuesday the female prisoner (who is under 20 years
of age, and possessed of some personal attractions) called at his
house, and presented the following petition, neatly written on
parchment:—" Gentlemen, We take the liberty most particu-
larly to recommend to you Mr. Lavezzo, and his family, late
banker and merchant at Paris, who, since the month of Octo-
ber last, has had the misfortune to lose all the property he
possessed, in expeditions that he made to the Indies, and which
have unfortunately failed. The intention of Mr. Lavezzo, if
he be able to raise sufficient means, is to repair, with his family,
to the Brazils, where he has a brother, who haS resided there
for sixteen years, and all his difficulties would immediately
cease could he once have the happiness to reach that place.
In this deplorable situation, and having been reduced to the
greatest distress, as well as all his family, these unfortunates
address themselves with confidence to time Bankers and Mer-
chants, as well as all persons of consequence to whom this
shall be communicated. Gentlemen, if any wish to snake an
offering on the altar of God, who relieves unmerited afflic-
tion, they dare hope that they will not be insensible to the
misfortunes of a family, otherwise, by their virtues, rendered
so truly worthy of commiseration and relief.—We are, with the
highest consideration, Gentlemen, your most humble and obe-
dient servants,
" SMITH, PAYNE, AND SMITH."

The signature was in the writing of some extremely illiterate
person, and no Daniel was necessary to detect the imposition.
31r. Cotton, in the conviction that he had to deal with an im.
postor, questioned his petitioner, and ascertained that Mlle-
body was waiting for her outside. He detained her, placed her
in the custody of an officer, and went to the house of Messrs.
from whom he learned what he had

the officer, was ordered to take Mr. Lavezzo into custody; and
as the Italian had hired a servant to assist in the plan for rais-
ing the wind, the latter was likewise required to be appre-
hended.—Mr. Cotton said he was convinced that some other
person was in the back ground. , In fact, he believed that La.
vezzo and his wife were the dupes of individuals who were com-
mitting very extensive frauds, by working upon the charitable
feelings of the public. Forrester said he found Lavezzo and
his servant Pietro Masse, in a house near Holborn, amongst a
number of Italian minstrels and beggars. The servant said he
had accompanied his mistress to more than twenty houses of
persons of wealth and distinction, but he did not know her
object in making such visits. Lavezzo at first said that the
female was his sister, and then.his wife. In his certificate from
the Alien Office, he got himself represented us known to Mr.
Rothschild, and this certificate Mrs. Lavezzo took about with
her to exhibit as an additional confirmation of her husband's
claims. Lavezzo said he knew nothing about the petition, and
his wife admitted that she went to Mr. Cotton's with the peti-
tion, but that the .gentleman who gave it to her, left a paper
containing the real condition of her husband and herself, and
she supposed that the parchment contained a similar description.
Lavezzo confessed that he knew nothing of Mr. Rothschild, but
that his object in coming here was to obtain a guitar, and ac.
company his wife's voice in the street, where he might procure
enough money to go over to the Brazils. He had called her
sister, because he thought himself too old to be called her hus-
band. The Loan MAYOR said the frauds might be much
more extensive than was supposed, and he thought it his duty
to remand the prisoners until Monday, in order that the public
might be apprized of the circumstances of the case, and that if
any other persons had cause to suspect the conduct of the pri-
soners, they might come forward. The prisoners were remanded
till Monday.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—Last week the follow-
ing singular accident occurred near Leith. A girl, about 14
years of age, while amusing herself alone on a swing, and giving
herself a rotatory motion, slipped from her seat in such a manner
as to get the rope twisted about her neck, so that before she
could loosen it, she was fairly suspended, and hung unob-
served for several minutes. When cut down she was to all ap-
pearance quite dead. On employing, however, without delay,
the usual means of resuscitation, she began slowly to evince
signs of returning life and in a few hours the vital func-
tions were restored;--.delirium, however, accompanied with
convulsions of the most distressing kind, continued for
twelve hours, and three or four days elapsed before
she regained entire possession of her mental faculties. It is
worthy of observation that she recollects nothing of the accident,
nor even circumstances that occurred, and actions she performed
several minutes before it. The last thing she can remember
(and she does so vividly), is being engaged in some domestic
tuatter, which was about ten minutes before she left the house
for the swing. She is now quite Edinburgh Courant,

Mu. EDlTOR—Gangler asks—Which is the
road that leads from earth to heaven?---liar'
swered, smiling, yours is not a sensible question.
Have you not been told that the gods constructed
a bridge which leads from the earth to heaven!
Surely you must have seen it yourself; but per•
haps you name it the rainbow. It is of three dif-
ferent colours, extremely solid, and built with
more skill than any other edifice in the world.
Rut great as is its strength, it will.nevertheless
be taken into pieces, when the Genii 6fthe World
of Fire shall ride over it on horseback, after hay-
ing crossed the principal ruins of hell. Gangkr
then said—lt seems to me that there is much de-
ceit in the manner in which this bridge is con-
structed, since, though the gods can do all things!
yet is this work of theirs liable to be broken down
and destroyed. liar answered—Even though this
he the case, yet can no blame attach to the gos.
In itself the bridge is good ; but in this world
nothing can resist the strength of these Genii of
Fire, in the day when they shall sally forth to wage
war with the gods. But, continued Ganglsr,

and determine the differences that should arise
among men, and to regulate the administration of
the celestial city. It is in the plain of Ida,
which stands in the midst of the heavenly resi-
dence, that these judges hold their Court.--
The first thing which they did, was to erect the
hall wherein are their twelve seats*, and in the
midst of those stands the elevated throne of the
Universal Father. No hall can, equal it either

they worked metal, and stone, and wood ; and
great was the quantity of the metal called goal
